ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 10/14/2012 (PRESEASON)

"The shooting out on the floor now has been better offensively because they're making shots" - lol I have missed Drexler!

 

Carlos will be the backup small Foward and sg because he has more experience, lamb isnt guaranteed to backup Martin

 

we are playing

soooooo ugly and bad

and SAS (look im talking about SAS not Bobcats).

Are over by 8 only...

Its is a good thing ...

 

Overall, we looked awful, god awful. Crap spacing, crap movement, crap passing - the trifecta of successful team basketball, and we were terrible at all 3 of them.

 

Kmart and White won't play.

 

Martin's not playing today...his day off.

 

I would like to see if Royce can play sg. Delfino should only get enough minutes that he doesn't lose all cred with the rookies we are developing and thats it.

 

At the game. Paid for nosebleeds but got an upgrade to 109. Great stuff. Was sitting behind Morey befor he left. Me and my bro shouted out for the rockets to play Royce White as he walked by. He smiled and waved. Really liking Asik man, you cannot praise him enough. Lin is a little disappointing, but I like DMo.

 

If Royce White doesn't get ANY playing time in the 2nd half! He's officially in the dog house and probably going to D-league!...it sucks..I know!

 

Lin is having a terrible game. So is Chandler. I think the addition of Lamb and Jones as starter threw them off and both are not playing that well either.

D-Mo and Machado played great. D-Mo is not a center so glad they realized this.

 

Some players might be amazing in practice, but it doesn't translate to the games.

 

K Martin , Patrick Patterson and Tonny Douglas day off.

 

I missed the first quarter of the game didn't realize Jones & Lamb started.

 

Machado may get some good burn in the second half. Hope he continues to do well while tightening up that defense. Pop got that team on cruise control.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

 

We're playing like a bunch of chickens with the heads cut off. This game would be used as training material. I can smell the popcorn popping now.

Lin probably had the wind knocked out of him when he fell on his knees in 1Q. Hope he gets it back together at 1/2 time.

No one needs to panick, this is the pre-season. Learning time and for the coach to figure out what work an what don't.

 

Hope Machado starts the 2nd half.

 

never and ever

i wanna see again

Lamb and Jones

play together

 

I'm hoping Lin is just in a slump or is recovering from his injury. Maybe he'll snap out of it in a week or two.

 

Lin was heated on the way out to the locker room, as he should be. Here's to a better second half. Let's see how the youngsters do! Let's see what kind of character this team has.

 

I can let other arguments slide about whether Lin is an elite athlete (he's not), whether we'll make the playoffs this year (we won't), whether we should have traded the rookies for Dwight (yes), but arguing that Machado should be the starter over Lin (or Douglas) after 2.5 preseason games takes the cake. I just cannot comprehend how any semi-intelligent person could make that kind of argument without laughing out loud.

If Lin sucks for the first 10 games of the ACTUAL season then we can talk about whether Douglas should start, but this talk of Machado needs to stop.
