GT: Road to .500 | Nets (22-23) @ Rockets

Prokorov · Post #1 » by **Prokorov** » Tue Jan 15, 2019 8:41 pm

Nets look to reach the .500 mark again against the rockets who will be missing Capella, Paul, and Eric Gordon. Harden will be active and is coming off 17 straight 30+ point games and having an all-time type scoring season. Harden is coming off a 57 point perfromance vs. the grizz in a blowout win last night

Nets will get RHJ back for this game, and will need him and all the help he can get to take down the rockets on the road.

Not expecting a win Harden will get us in foul trouble he's unstoppable.

LOL

He literally can **** talk the entire Atlantic division and no one can say a damn thing. Celtics, Raptors, Sixers, and Knicks all caught that smoke back in the day :lol:

House, who was playing well for Houston, used up his last two way day and they couldn't agree on a new contract so he's out. Gordon might be coming back though

Man, can they slow Harden down? Or at least his entire supporting cast? .500 already would be wonderful.

MrDollarBills · Post #7 » by **MrDollarBills** » Wed Jan 16, 2019 2:09 pm

asking this team to slow down Harden is a tall order.

If RHJ was healthy I would love to see Kenny consistently rotate him, Graham, and Kurucs on and off Harden. Make him earn that 40 points he's going to drop tonight

I think we'll see a lot of the box & 1 zone that we employed against Kemba tonight.

Going to be fun to watch Harden drop 50 in a lost.

Doubt we'll see much of Jarrett Allen in a game where some SF will play center. I say **** it, let them adjust instead of the other way around and feed JA inside.

Edit:

PG James Harden
SG Austin Rivers
SF Eric Gordon
PF Gary Clark
C P.J. Tucker

D'Antoni doesn't give a **** lol.

The Dreads vs The Beard

I think Russell could lock himself into an all-star spot tonight with another masterful performance against an elite player.

Bold (or not so bold?) prediction: The Fro is gonna stuff a Harden dunk attempt tonight 8-)

We should for sure play Allen. They will try to spread us out but we need his rim protection for when Harden drives to the rim. He can do a decent job on any of the wings he might get switched onto.

Wish RHJ was healthy because this is a perfect matchup for him.
