ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 10/5/2013 (PRESEASON)

Foreplay and premature ejaculation. Can't finish. Hope he takes it to heart and continues working

 

How about TJ played like an average NBA PF while Dmo like a well below average NBA PF. Looks like TJ fits much better so far and from what I've seen in practice.

 

i actually expected to see a dominating team tonight .. the hou starters were there and wow what a disappointment. no excuses lamers

 

Why didn't Omer play?

And how did our 2013 first round pick look?

 

D-mo was very good. Borderline lucky. He showed awesome passing and post moves. His shots just were not falling.

 

We still need a defensive PF to guard the Anthony Davis's of this world. That's when we would play Asik and Howard together.

 

I'm not gonna lie I was glad Casspi missed that last three, I'm not ready for OT in the preseason!

 

What I took away from a practically meaningless preseason game:

1: McHale is trying to figure out who is going to be cut.
2: If they do not improve Canaan and Covington are probably gone. And for all of you blowhards who have been bleating their horns you are, as expected, completely wrong.
3: Casspi can be a stud. All of you idiots who called for him to be cut after 10 minutes of practice tape should be ashamed of yourselves. And believe me, I am not above starting a thread quoting all of your stupid posts clamoring for Casspi to be cut because of 10 minutes of practice tape. Erase your posts if you are a contributing member.
4: The coaching staff is not interested in winning preseason games. They are interested in finding out who should be cut.

 

To be fair, Davis is projected to be a superstar and he has body and talent to back it up. Can shoot inside,outside and hit freethrows.

 

The thing about TJones is that his excellence is individual excellence, while DMo's strong point is his team play. Coming into the 4th quarter DMo was +22. If every game that DMo plays the Rockets are +22 when he is on the floor, who cares if he scores 0 points and fouls 4 times.

 

calf strain for omer..and the other guy doesn't exist..

 

Cassipi was straight balling he was playing like he wants to be the starter and not just make the team.

 

He also had 6 fouls and 2 turnovers. He made a couple of nice passes but generally speaking he couldn't defend anyone without fouling. When he got in foul trouble he became a bull fighter and the Pelicans started running an inordinate amount of plays against him.

 

Couldn't watch the game, did Dwight really get ejected?

 

This team is going to be crazy when Asik starts playing..... Off the bench or next to Howard its going to impact the game in a very big way.... In my opinion Howard looked better than good..... First game with a new system and teammates yet he dominated....... Harden played as expected and Lin was solid....

Jones was a little reluctant but he has to put his foot down, he is fighting for minutes and a chance to prove himself... Great game.... Losing didn't bother me at all.... Never been soo happy after a loss... So much potential was seen...

 

His defense was trash. That's all that matters. His offense isn't important when you have four other scorers on the court.

 

this ...

he lacks the will to dominate or complete his move. He's just soft.

Is toughness teachable? I hope so but can we wait for him to develop?

at least he was not launching 3s

 

Casspi on Fire

Casspi was doing it all. He made some turnarounds in the lane, made a trey from 4 ft behind the arc, had some dunks on fast breaks. Looked pretty solid in this game.

 

You need to read what your replying too......

Judaism is a religion. Jewish is what your describing. There is a difference

 

Those passes were more like he fumbling the ball and just manage to save the ball by tossing it to another player.
