ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 1/25/2015

eh, beer plus a lot ariza complaining on here, I took the lastest post to respond. took it as more complaining.

 

I wasn't serious

 

We will be a first round exit if nobody can hit but harden

 

i hope ariza took notes on harden's dunk

 

A few times already. Ppl seem to forget that. Some rockets fans they are...

 

I've had slumps before where it feels like you can't do anything right. You lose confidence.

 

Harden only has 5 assists? C'mon, teammates! Harden is passing, make the god darn shots!

 

Josh Smith has been in good control the past 2 games

 

i dont see any nba level skills from him yet. he's got the size, athleticism, and age to allow for unlimited potential. but as far as rock solid skills that he can hang his hat on night in and night out... i dont see it this year.

that being said, i still think he gets there by year 3 or 4. IMO if you have 1 skill, you're a 3rd stringer. i think the easiest thing for him to learn would be positioning for rebounds. that's pretty much what dorsey brings as a 3rd stringer.

maybe the year after that he could add defensive positioning. his quickness should make him very good at PnR defense. that would make him a good backup center / starting center.

he might be able to come into next year with both of those skills and if so that would be awesome. but as for being a backup center this year, those skills aren't there. nba bigs from duncan to dorsey would eat his lunch. we'll have to agree to disagree on the timeline, but i think we agree on his potential to be a starting center.

 

imagin eharden with competent, consistent shooters. 25/10/5/2/1 sheeeeeesh

 

good seeing Brewer letting the offence come to him

 

i still cant believe they dont feed dmo more. one game he'll get 15pts on 10 shots the next game he'll get 5 shots

 

This BALL MOVEMENTS without Dwight is 4x better.

 

Ariza's true worth isn't going to come until the Playoffs.

Personally, no matter how bad he is shooting he is better than Parsons because his defense is never lacking.

And he is versatile on that end - he can defend an All-Star PG to an anyone like Nowitzki.

Whereas we did that with Parsons previously... but it was more for his length.

In Ariza's case he has the length and the defensive skill.

 

Swaggy P looks unhappy

 

Take Ariza out and put Capela in

 

why did nick young only play 9 min?

doghouse?

 

So what does NLRocket complain about on a night like tonight?

 

Wow that Lin player sucks.

 

did lin try to draw a foul with his face again?
