ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 12/16/2012

Why is kevin so happy?

 

embarrassing, we lost inOT again against one of the worst team in the NBA. lin wss friggin useless.

 

It's just one of those days. Harden was boss for driving it in damm near every time. Everyone else sucked. No energy, no lift, everything going wrong. Haters hatin on Lin. Asik on the decline?? Hope we bring it in NY. Laters y'all. I'ma go out and throw some elbows out on the court and maybe even do a Delfino dive~

 

Now don't be attacking Orphans now, you better watch your mouth pal!!

 

I just hope today's play is not an indication on how they are gonna play tomorrow, cuz it ain't gonna be pretty if that's the case.

 

Calderon would be good on the Rockets....

 

bad news - we play the knicks tomorrow

Horrible news - Melo is playing

 

What games have you been watching? The reason his playing time has been reduced is due to his regression. Today's game especially was a glaring example of his regression - couldn't catch a pass, poor rotational defence. I love the dude, but other than rebounds he hasn't been consistent as of late.

 

Cause he's in OKC , away from Houston's trash coaching

 

This is going to happen with a young, inexperienced team. There's just not enough veteran presence to balance out the mistakes. I'm glad to see Morris had a decent game.

 

I am a Lin fan but I think he contributed to the loss by being too passive through out the game. He can beat Calderon to the basket any time he wanted and good things happened when he did. But he decided to not do that down the stretch and had Harden tried to get fouls instead. That as the difference maker and why we lost. Of course Harden shooting terribly didn't help.

 

Positive: Harden has really cut down his TOs. And Morris played well.

 

If only we had a coach...this give the ball to Harden spot for 3pters stuff ain't gonna work..

 

It feels like we always lose these early Sunday games (in Toronto) against bad teams.

 

Lol be prepared to get so much hate by LOF.

 

Our defense is rated at the bottom among the 30 teams!
Which coach is responsible for our defense? Sampson? He needs to be fired!

 

Asik is what he is. He will give you 5-10 points, 10-15 rebounds and maybe a block or two. Thats the same thing he gave today.

Just because he had one game where he hit all his free throws and defense played too far off of him enabling a bunch of open dunks doesn't mean he was learning or improving, it was just an outlier.

 

smh...why do the starters always start off sluggish? It's every game.

As I mentioned before, Lin's head must be on tomorrow's game. It's going to be so emotional for him.

I'm not going to blame only Lin on this game, it was everyone. Raptors came to play and Rockets didn't. Kudos to their coaches and players for their preparation.

 

Don't forget morris: Career High.

 

We would have won if Lowry/Bargnani was playing...
