ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/21/2011

I agree AB is having problems being a true point guard. First time that really applied to our point guards when used for once. I thought that tern was overrated when one produces. With AB that's not true because he really does play like a SG instead. Which is good if he is scoring.

 

Hmmm..I wonder why..who was the point guard for each squad? last year bench was Lowry amd this year is Lowry and the starters. it's no coincidence. Lowry is a better point guard. And to prove my point, when does Brooks plays his bets? When he's on the floor with Lowry.

 

He's horrible tonight, he played ok last game, and I thought his performance the two games prior was overrated by the announcers.

Hill has shown some nice skills on the offensive end as a scorer, but I'm much more down on his long term potential now than I was at the beginning of the year. He's been far and away the worst regular rotation player on the team this season.

 

Or when he plays alone next to Battier, Hayes and Ariza.

 

goodness, that last second shot before the half was executed with precision! The Grizzles looked like they were already heading to the locker room. I'm sorry if I'm making this out to be something more than it really is but I thought that it was such a good, natural transition

 

Anybody else watch that interview with Chris Paul at halftime on league pass?
MAN! that is a true superstar.

Humble but confident.
Leads by example.
Wants to win at all costs.
Is a student of the game and truly loves playing.
Well spoken and a leader on/off the court.

Chris Paul>>>>>Melo.

 

Looking at the scoreboard, looks like almost every game is shaping into a blow out except this one.

It's kinda tough for AB to play the facilitator PG role from the bench, he knows his time on the floor is predicated on how well he is shooting.

I'm a little disappointed in Lee's J, he doesn't seem to be a good moving off the ball jumpshooter and better as a standstill feet set jumpshooter.

 

Last year we had L&L boys.... Landry and Lowry combo was amazing.. We don't have a big men who can be fire like Landry on the bench anymore. AB is only guy who can get on fire in a hurry off the bench, but he just looks disappointed... He needs to understand "minutes are earned", not given. Guy is playing like team is treating him like a dog.

 

See when I see comment like this it makes me think about what is making everyone hate Hill. And it always comes to the same conclusion. This notion that if Hill is there and some lays the ball up then he is the worst player ever. HELP DEFENSE! Thats what everyone is so up in arms about? Thats something you can learn, with time and Patience. You guys want the guy too be perfect, don't foul, block shots, rebound, score, and make you a sandwich. I hope he gets traded to the Lakers and becomes an all-star in a few years while helping kobe win a few more rings.

 

I wish he was the guy we were targeting instead.

 

Don't bet on that unit. They were losing points, 2nd unit was saving them. The only time AB really gained ground on the floor against opponents, Lowry was playing along side him.

 

Wow, that was fun to watch; keep the jets fired up for the second half. No let down, no prisoners. Great to see AB out there, he makes the team better.

 

I still like Hill alot. To at least get minutes for certain situations when Hayes is having problems with some taller players at times. I dont like Miller getting any minutes. Hill is a better backup though as a solid there. Wish we could get that 7 ft center still and move Hayes over to PF. In that role Hayes would be the backup though behind Scola. Real dilemma with Moreys team he built. You get rid of one? You lose alot of what that player does like Scolas scoring or Hayes defense. Wish we could have one player that does both.

 

Agree. Have to add that the play ending the half cries out for the Clutch Instant Video Treatment, Clutch. That was as smooth a fast break as I've seen from this team in a very long time. Amazing!

 

If he's availabe, I guess Morey would. But I don't think CP3 is available now. NO shipped out Collison to make CP3 feel more wanted.

 

Watch for this guy in a few years:

 

Bingo!!

 

If the Rox hold on and the Spurs hold on, we will be 2 games behind the Knicks. We still need a few East teams to get hot or we need to make the playoffs but the swap may still be useful after all.

 

I think we do in Patrick, but AB looks for his own shot more. If Lowry had more time with Patrick, I think we could see some similar results.
