ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 2/5/2013

2nd. Some people Overreacting IMO.

 

Notice how mchale rarely claps when lin makes a play. Everyone else gets applause. It's true. But maybe it's some weird motivational tactic.

 

That tweet is awful. The question posted by the reporter was how Mchale liked Lin attacking Curry tonight. Mchale side stepped bulletin board-material type talk and said how well "we" did offensively.

 

Bogut said he will C U Next Tuesday. NBA's newest rivalry?

 

Would mind settling this "rivalry" in the playoffs.

 

or next tuesday

 

If you want to be short-sighted, sure.

 

Exactly... its not like they don't have enough fuel from tonight. These tweets are ridiculous.

 

Bravo!

 

Quotes from RealGM GSW Board

Some amusing quotes from the RealGM GSW Board:

 

Great win. I thought the rockets would lose this game. The next GSW & Utah game just got a lot more interesting. Curry was really silent out there. Very odd. I wonder if he is healthy.

 

I was in class today, but I was watching the game in the classroom. LOL. My professor was awesome in that she talks so much that she doesn't even notice I wasn't paying attention! Everytime the rockets scored I was slapping my legs just to relieve some tensions, otherwise, I'd be jumping. I live in the bay area so I was listening to the Warriors announcers. Loved the part where Jim Barnett was talking about how the rockets were the youngest team. They were also flabbergasted that this same Rockets team lost 7 in a row. And they went on long 4th quarter love fest over Jeremy Lin. Hahaha, gotta love it.

And I still truly believe that the Rockets team lost 7 in a row not because we are young and inexperienced, but because Jeremy Lin didn't play the...oh, you guys could finish my sentence.

 

He was already lookin at the stat sheet ready to point out positives, and he complemented the low turnovers. If the question would've been about Harden, he would've read off stats that Harden contributed to. Some of you just have this cynical idea, then cherry pick things to support it. None one knows how their relationship is behind closed doors or during practice. Lin is such an awesome baller 24/7, the only reason for him being benched is that coach hates him? It's kinda childish and dumb, tbh.

 

King1 and karolik? Where are you guys?

 

I don't think some fans understand that it's in the best interest of Mchale for Jeremy to succeed.

 

Well, he has been benched before for doing good before. I.E., Portland game, Dallas game and they lost both times. There were others too. What other reason could it be? Idiocy?

 

He was just busy reading the TO/ASS stats. No amount of comments from the coaches matter. It's how they play them in the games. Clearly, Lin is slowly gaining trust as the primary ball handler. Good game today.

 

I didn't catch the Mavs game, but I'm not sure what you mean by "playing well", because Lillard torched Lin in both games. Why is Lin hating because the coach felt another player was a better match up defensively?

I just wanna say that these blowout games aren't a fluke. .

This is our potential showing up in glimpses early on. Growing pains before the growth spurt. We're not gonna have these games all the time or we'd be contenders this year, but it's coming in bunches and will be more commonplace very soon.

I love the Harden-Lin-Parsons-Asik youth movement. They are a bunch of ballers. With a star-caliber defensive/rebounding 4, we're going to be contending in 2 years. Not even 3. Make some noise this year. Scare some people next year. Contend for years after till we reach the mountaintop. I can't wait to see our boys smiling/crying, pouring champaign, and holding up the O' Brien trophy..

Props to Harden, for being so unselfish. Being as good as he is, and still to trust in your coach and teammates and passing it like that... That's the mark of a great player.

Props to PPat. I still wish he had even better defensive/rebounding instincts, but he has definitely been very very solid recently.

Props to Beverley, as raw as he is, he showed me once again that he can play the point position quite well. He passes it quickly, and can creates open looks for teammates. Just a tad bit too raw.

Props to Chandler, for being Chandler. Dude just plays right. Spaces, shoots, drives, defends. He is a huge part of our transition attack and is underrated imo. Yes, underrated.

Let's ball out tomorrow! I believe!
Go Rockets!
