ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 11/14/2013

Both teams are going to be tired seeing as how this is both teams 2nd night of a back-to-back. We have a little fresher Harden (if he plays) and that will push us over the top. I think Harden goes off for a big game in the garden.

 

We cant afford to slip behind the pack to far. The Spurs are 8-1 and streaking away and even Portsland(6-2) are getting a gap with the 6-3 Clippers. We go 5-5 and with plenty of problems with injuries is not a good sign.

 

Lin explodes for 58 on 80 TS% and carries us to a W.


(if only...)

 

73 games to go. And last season we had a 7 game losing streak in the middle and still hit 45 wins.

A bit early to get TOO worried about it.

I trust that the Players will figure it out, at least in the regular season.

 

Trap game.
Artest gonna draw dragon's blood.
Then Hell will break loose..

 

Harden comes back and goes for 48 points on 15 shots. Lin comes down to Earth with a modest 17 point showing, hitting 2/5 3 pointers, 6 assists and 4 TO's. Chandler Parsons will manage 25 Pump Fakes. Beverley will eat Felton and proceed to get high cholesterol from partaking in such an unhealthy meal. D12 will shoot 7/15 FTs. Melo takes 30 shots to score 32 points.

If any of these predictions come close, (My bet is on the Parsons one) then we should all go out for a beer, first one's on me.

 

lmao that part got me laughing. parsons loves his pump fakes lmao

 

Lack of defense is looking like a major problem. While it can be fixed, it seems to be getting worse by the game granted the Raptors game was better, but we almost blew a 14 point last quarter lead in that game two.

 

Welcome LIN to the Club180,

FG% 54.2 + 3% 51.4 +FT% 78.4 = 184

Hope he can play better D next game.

 

I hope Asik will play 2 or 3 minutes more

 

I can just see both team playing dog tired but hard.

 

The 8 man rotation can't support our up-tempo style.

They must play 9-10 man.

 

Man I wished Dmo is ready I have no idea why McHale did not make use of Dmo for last game. I hope harden had a good rest and will be able beast against the Knicks. I am also hoping for Dwight to go full throttle and stomp all over the Knicks

 

Is Harden going to play? If so then I think we'll win but it'll be tough. If he doesn't then it's a toss up. The team is dead tired but the Knicks are also on a b2b.

 

Yup, this is the game where our bench gets fully utilized

I expect to see Greg Smith, AB, maybe Brewer and hopefully DMo

Though i'm not as confident about this as i should be

 

Praying for Lin to still have something in the tank.

 

McHale seems bent in killing Harden and Lin. Hopefully other guys step up.

 

let's just play a five man rotation. what could possibly...

 

Whats the status of Harden? that left foot knock?

Sick of left foot injuries.

 

Wait, did Lin bleed the last game? I bet that's why we lost! :grin:
