ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 3/17/2012

Seriously. Most of the comments I have seen from this person is troll material. Might as well ignore him.

"There's no excuse even with our 3 starters out"

Reread that. And remember, we have no backup pg, sg, or center. Our backup sf had not played significant minutes the whole season. So to recap: 3 starters gone, no backup pg/sg/sf
That is 6 players missing. SIX

 

Yeah it's unbelievable. I hate the way these trade rules are. WTF Camby should've been able to play.

 

Scola was leading rebounder in the game. (DeAndre Jordan had same number.) Scola had 11, our next highest rebounder had 6. Blake Griffin had 8.

 

When we get Parsons back and Camby playing the team should click well. Maybe KMart will actually make a few shots in the second half of this season too. Still, I'd rather have CLee starting. He has been ballin' lately.

 

I'm not worried about Camby. He'll average 14 boards agame here. **** Thabeet and Flynn.

 

Scola is going to look loads better when Camby gets here. Count on it.

 

Cool. Him and pat in at the same time means we get crushed. Did you not see that. So many scola rebounds are because of dally boxing out people.

 

That jump ball reminded me of Vince Carter vs Yao Ming.

 

Enough mistakes to go around in this one -- certainly not least of all, some very questionable calls. Mostly, short-handed. I think Parsons defense was missed, too. Clippers closed out well on enough shots to also make a difference.

How much any loss hurts is best told at the end of the season when playoff spots are either gained or lost. Since the fight to make the playoffs will only intensify, there will be several games that the Rockets look back on and wonder... if only...

The addition of Camby may or may not help much depending on the status of Lowry and Martin. The backup PG position is important now, until Lowry can return. It depends on how many rebounds he adds and whether or not they result in points... oh, and I guess he might block or change a few shots, too.

 

Patterson is going to make Blake griffin his b**** the next time they meet.

His post moves are too much for that scumbag to handle without fouling him

 

All the Patterson haters need to STFU. Did y'all forget the clutch block against OKC already? Would Scola have done that? HELL NO. That being said, Scola should be fine now that we have Camby. His lack of defense won't be as big of an issue now that a legit center will be on the court most of the time. I expect his offense to pick up as well...

 

True dat. And Scola won't be as much of a liability...

 

I'm glad paul is building up his confidence now. Can't wait until lowry mugs him and drains threes all over him.

 

See it's **** like this that makes me feel I'm being punked. The only reason Pat got the block is because he didn't BOX OUT his man initially; he could have easily ended the game with a REBOUND. Before someone says, "welp, its Ibaka! IBAKA BIG!", Parsons Boxed out Ibaka no problem the previous play to secure a key rebound. You don't have to have tremendous strength to box people out; its just discipline and positioning.

 

The Clippers are phony, not contenders. They look great on paper. They really should have traded Griffin for Howard while they had the chance.

 

same here

 

fine coming for Patterson
