ClutchFans Game Thread: Sixers @ Rockets 11/14/2014

Dorsey's guaranteed MUST be the only reason we kept him over Adrien. Morey made the same mistake twice on the same player. At least Garcia has flashes on the court.

is there any free agent big men available...its obvious that we need one..can we give a 10 day contract to someone?...

 

I would just wait and see which bad teams are looking to unload players when they decide to start going for ping pong balls.

 

I think there were a lot of bad ref calls against us in this game and our injury problems (including Harden's ankle/abs) were really showing. The fact that we won anyway is promising, I think.

 

We really need to get that win over OKC. Don't see us winning in Memphis. I'll be happy with splitting those two.

 

Rockets have a solid bench minus center, once Dmo and Canaan are back in the backup spots they will look much better

 

Great the Rockets pulled it out. Howard was a beast on defense, and Harden was a superstar at both ends of the court tonight.

D-Mo played really well too.

But it was almost painful watching our team's lack of rebounding out there tonight.

I understand there will always be good shooting and bad shooting nights, but that lack of rebounding shouldn't have been as bad as it was.

So glad we won and that Harden was clutch.

It's always great to get a win, and I'm always excited to see the next game. Go Rockets.

 

Memphis is gonna embarrass Houston

 

I am glad our players don't share you negativity.

 

close game?

 

We can't sleep on OKC like this. Yes, they are missing half their team, but we still can't afford to play down.

 

Well we had a ton of games last season to "learn" that though.

Kinda disappointed in our effort to start but obviously can't complain too much as a win is a win.

Tough B2B coming up, would be satisfied with a split! Let's do this.

 

basically philly won 2 quarters and we won the other 2

 

The most encouraging sign was Cisco's hot shooting.

How we gonna lose if he shoots like that???

 

I Love This GAME!!!

 

ESPN just skipped our highlights...WTF

 

nevermind

 

I think people are putting a little too much into this game. This was just a horrible no good very bad shooting night for the Rockets. Had literally any shooting category been on par the game wouldn't have been close down the stretch.

Last year's team wouldn't have had the defensive presence at the end to pull out the win and simply would have died by the 3. Most of the time rockets will make 3 or more of those 27 missed 3s and the games won't be that close. In some cases they'll make a lot more and turn it into an unstoppable blowout.

 

A win is a win is a win, right?
