ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 2/6/2012

Oh, I wasn't saying Lowry wasn't fouled, but his selling of the foul deserved an Academy Award for best comedic or dramatic performance. I can't decide which.

 

Not with Martin and Dalembert playing up to their usual standards. I think Denver's actual talent level is pretty comparable to ours long term. Even without the injuries, they would continue falling until a point just above .500, like the Rockets are.

 

Watched on NBALP last night, which featured the Denver announcers. The game was horribly officiated on both sides (I'd say over officiated, but it was getting scrappier through the game). I remember thinking it last year, but i have to say they seem to be the whiniest home-grown announcers I have ever heard. I guess it's Scott Hastings, but I'm not sure. Whine about every call, non-call, and at the end, basically told us what a terrible team we were on multiple occasions.... as we were beating them. All night long, "Short handed this, short handed that." A good deal of it was somewhat true (the officiating was questionable all night, and overly aggressive as the game was a little rough), but at one point I thought he was going to cry. Pathetic.

Lowry is looking a little out of control, and desperate at times.
