ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 12/14/2015

the ball movement by the Nuggets caught him out in the first quarter but as a team they played better in the second quarter.

no one would have stopped that ball movement, it was like the Spurs

 

Trevor Ariza? I mean, you get that's why Trevor was so disappointed in himself right?

 

Dwight really wanted to shoot the 3

 

harden looked like he emphatically called off howard on the last play of the half. howard then went and stood behind the 3pt line.

 

36-18 second quarter, great recovery

 

Anyone else wince a bit when a Rockets player dribbles to the half court line and then passes backwards to Harden. Just seems like a risky way to end up with a backcourt violation.

 

Howard was itching to shoot that too. Harden should have passed it to him.

 

When Dmo is in the game the ball just moves so much better . Same when it's Dwight and 4 smalls. Interested to see what they do in the second half of jones can't go . As bad as he is , he is still big and gives us about 5 good minutes a half if his motor is on . I'd play Dmo and Dwight together and then go early to Dwight and 5 small lineup . Dmo plays his best when he's at pf . Dwight is just gonna have to play 35+ minutes tonight . Hopefully Capela can go tomorrow .

 

Good to see the rockets took the lead after getting smashed in the 1st period. Last month this is the kind of game the Rox would be down by 20 points going into halftime

 

just 6 turnovers in the first half is nice to see

 

I cringe every time Bev does it to Howard.

I know it has been called a backcourt violation at least once.

 

I think that all the time. I'm always staring at the feet to see if it crossed. lol

 

Hell yeah! Bev seems to do it the most.

 

Dwight was unaware off the time, harden had 9 seconds in the quarter and wanted a last shot so it was the right play

 

Meanwhile San Antonio lead Utah 88-48 in the third quarter

 

Remember that time when some ppl thought Jones could get us Faried or Ryan Anderson.

 

Relax dude hardens been beat Forsure but so has ariza thronton and bev. This team moves really good off ball and we gamble to
Much to not get beat on a few Backdoor cuts. It's our philosophy on D to start up our fast break.

You should know this by now.

 

I love that our bench is finally contributing, it is what we were missing in the early part of the season. Makes us way more difficult to beat.

 

It def has been called once this season. I actually think it was brew that did it, I think it was the Portland game....but he kinda made up for it lol

 

Thornton and Ariza have both given up a back for cut.

But I'm not out here just waiting for something to harp on with Harden so..,
