ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 4/2/2014

Lowry is gonna make Lin his prison b****.

 

It's gonna be a massacre.

Sigh

 

Has DMO guard Amir Johnson before?

 

Didn't Lin have 31 that game? And Lowry fouled out? Lol while there is no question Lowey is the better player, Lin had the better game by far.

 

If McHale decides to put Parsons on Lowry, then Lin is not going to be able to stop DeRozan either.

The worst is, Ross is a deadeye three point shooter so basically Harden is going to be giving him open looks all night with his lazy D.

 

Just like he did earlier in the season right?

 

Different team. The Raptors AND Lowry got better after Gay left.

 

In a game where your shorthanded on players it takes good coaching strategy with limited personnel to win too bad our coach is Mchale. Our current group of players just aren't disciplined enough to get the job done by themselves in a one on one type game. Too many turnovers.

 

sounds like system that fits him better ummmm:grin:

Lin is not gonna guard Lowry. Didn't the last 2 games already indicated this?

 

loss.

 

thanks man, I wondered what happened yesterday.

also **** the astros.

 

Is there a possibility we can be out the playoffs if we lose the rest the games?

 

Well yea. When you clinch a playoff birth it means you can't be out of the playoffs. The rockets may clinch one today if they win and some others lose. But if they lose the rest then they will probably be out.

 

Lol. I don't doubt we can be out. Mchale is clutch

 

Say WHAT?

Lin has played exactly 3 games against the Raptors as a Rocket. He was the starter all 3 games. Lowry only played 2 of those games. Of the games where both Lin AND Lowry were against each other...

11/27/12 - http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201211270HOU.html
Lin 16 points, 10 assists, 3 TO, 81.0% TS%
Lowry 7 points, 5 assists, 3 TO, 33.5% TS%

11/11/13 - http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201311110HOU.html
Lin 31 points, 5 assists, 5 TO, 58.8% TS%
Lowry 16 points, 2 assists, 2 TO, 50.0% TS%

So WHERE exactly are you getting idea that Lowry is going to "torch" Lin? It's pretty much been the opposite...

 

Comcast airing Astros games over Rockets.. smh

 

The main channel. They have an alternate comcast channel too.

The Astros didn't get better rating than the NCAA Women's tournament last night

 

Parsons will be guarding Lowry.

I'm more worried about Derozan, who will have the luxury of James Harden rolling out the red carpet to the basket for him.
