ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 1/8/2013

Rockets play undisciplined defense, teams that pass the ball well give them fits.

 

Kobe just tweeted this after that last play where he was guarding Harden.

@kobebryant

Thoughts of self doubt Am I done? Is this how my career will end?? I REFUSE to give in to these thoughts. #strongwill #countonchallenges

 

What's hte score? I swear when Harden made that last basket, it said 62-59, but NBATV studio just said hte score is 62-61?

 

Hopefully, Kobe will be in that HERO-ball mood, play ISOs all the time for the second half.

 

I wonder if McHale comes out with the same starting 5 in the second half. He may want to consider Delfino instead of Morris.

 

And if it weren't for World Peace Lakers would be blown out by the half.

 

if it weren't for DELINO we'd be blown out. This dude came in and nailed clutch 3s as the lakers started to pull away. Harden got his as the game was close

 

more than likely Kobe will go into hero mode..hopefully that costs them the game

 

It's not exactly bad defense, I think we've been selling out to stop Kobe, and that part is working. The problem is Nash and MWP got hot.

 

kobe will want to get his points lol. lets see

 

We were done 14 at some point - just like the Bucks game. If we keep hustling we should win this one. But Kobe is angry - he will force some things now. Lets just hope he misses a bunch.

A fast paced dantoni team with Nash at point will still score you many points - but we should still be able to outrun, out rebound and in the end out score them...

 

I knew Lakers would come out like this kinda like the Packers vs Texans game where everyones like OMG whats happend to the lakers there in trouble all the injurys and then they come out with a BANG ! ..lol

 

Lin needs to wake up in the 2nd half. There's very little production and some very risky passing from him so far.

 

TD's defense >>>>> Nash's

{QUOTE=JJ23;7512831]I was really looking forward to the Nash vs TD matchup...[/QUOTE]

 

Lol @ From Linsanity to Sacre BLEU

 

I hope Rockets come out on fire like the Bucks game in the 3rd quarter.

 

Knee-jerk reaction to Lin way too early in the first quarter. So far so good, but the 3rd quarter is a make or break for the Rockets...I think. Bad news is Kobe only has 6 points...so expect > 20 points from him in the second half. Hopefully....Lin pulls through in the 2nd half.

 

Wow, great observation considering that the only players ever to shoot better than Nash, are um, none...maybe Bird, Reggie, Price, Allen, and Drazen are in the same conversation

 

Also, LOL at people comparing Lin who hasn't even played a full season as a starter...to an MVP who has played over a decade in the NBA.

I like Lin but cmon.

 

Where is the D? Gosh.
