ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 11/18/2012

I wish I could be more optimistic...but we're going to be the punching bag for the Lakers' revival.

This will be ugly.

 

I hope we win.

 

hope we learn something from all the loses

 

alrich and asik to play at the same time?

 

we were no punchin bag for nobody even though we had some tough matchups...we were no punchin bug not even for title holders-miami..why then we should be a bag for the lakers?

Last call for bets!

Jeremy Lin takes 10 field goal attempts: Over or Under?

 

I think probably slightly over. They don't really have a player that can match up with Lin.

 

Toney Douglas to start against the Lakers because he just "looks" more like a starting NBA PG.

 

Zdrav that was a friggin funny line! awesome!

 

okay2x why are you so pushy I still gathering my inner betting luck. It takes time, dude.
I say over for this LA match up, **** I already lost a lot of money from 9 match before


It may not related at all, however statistically speaking from 9 previous games, Lin throw up more than 10 shots only three times and rockets won 2 of them and lost 1 in OT CMIIW

Hope to win this one, cross my finger though.

 

I think something that might really help us is that our defence craps all over theirs

 

We can kill them with the fast break. Hopefully Sampson allows Harden, Parsons and Lin to get out and run.

 

Somebody should tell harden that he has to pass the ball when he faces a double-team. I thought he is a smart player. But he always proves otherwise so far.

 

Over.

 

If Harden pulls that iso **** at the end of regulation once again, consider me done watching the Rockets for a long while!!!!!

 

Both Rockets and Lakers are at 4 Ws and 5 Ls. Don't feel intimidated guys!

 

Lin should just play his game even though the coaches disagree. Let them bench him.

Stop all that Christian turn the other cheek crap and start balLin'.

Even Jesus stepped up kick some butts.

Do what Jesus would do, Lin!

 

With Sampson coaching, probably 4 field goal attempts. 3 of them being 3pointers at the last second as ISO ball got heavily defended and kicked out to him with 2 seconds left. Lin will make 1 out the three 3 pointer attempts.

Stats? 6 points ( One 3 pointer, one 2 pointer and "and 1" free throw).
2/4 FGA 8 assists, 2 steals, 5 rebounds, 1 TO and 8 being yelled at. +/- +6

Minutes? 34. Wallpaper on the offense and coolie work at defense.

Douglas will probably play 20 minutes but with 11 field goal attempts hitting 3/11 with 4 FTs ending with 10 points, 2 assists, 0 rebounds and 3 TOs. +/- -5

Sampson will say Douglas is better than Lin.
