ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 2/12/2013

Because star talent wins game in the playoffs?

 

Probably, you're going to see Lin play like 40 minutes tomorrow.

 

Yeah, that's what we need, more points.....

 

Ha... I've been waiting all week to drop that one.

 

Rockets:
47.3% shooting
10/34 three pointers
20/25 FTs
48 rebounds (10 off.)
11 turnovers

Warriors:
45.2% shooting
8/20 three pointers
23/31 FTs
46 rebounds (8 off.)
13 turnovers

 

I wasn't sure because it looked like Lin was actually trying to make something happen so I wasn't sure.

If he was just draining the clock then I take back my words of censure.

lol I love Omer

 

Agreed. I guess that's what McHale said about him "not moving the ball"( I thought McHale was ridiculous saying that about Lin. Now I know it's the truth sometimes ) I was shouting for Lin to pass the ball for last two possessions. He probably wanted to show some moves in front of his family and friends. So I forgive him this time

 

Asik doesn't get any plays calls for him, yet he's still a double double machine. He tips the ball to a teammates and created second chance opportunities that were probably not shown on box scores as well.

 

lol i like it

 

I give him props for his rebounding tonight, but most of all, i give him props for fighting through his mistakes and not letting that get into his head and destroy his confidence. He rose to the occasion when we needed him.

He gets a gold star for tonight.

 

Suppose to drain the clock but make a move earlier to allow room for error I think. By the time the ball is passed to Harden, there was like 4-5 secs to shoot a 3 only.

 

like the Lakers!

 

I get the complaint, but people act like he's the only player doing this.

 

STOP. It's an away game so Lin will shoot like crap. But he will probably be better than average. Our team relies on Harden too much, the 3 minutes when Harden was out today, it was so obvious Lin and Parsons switched into a different gear.

 

go to bed bro...superstar groupie

 

Bingo. This is why I love asik. he will give you 100% effort with 0 plays being called for him. That is ridiculously rare. Omer doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective. So many centers want to be shooting 3's & need touches (cough dwight) but not Omer.

Omer & Tyson Chandler are two of my favourite centers. They just put there head down & work don't need touches to play lock down D.

 

Not in this type of situation....when you have a good lead you want to burn as much time of the clock as possible. The best way is to dribble around, but in control as passing will equate to more chance of getting a TO.

 

Asik's off the dribble layup tonight was epic!!! :grin:

Doesn't matter. Being effing 6'10 and able to facilitate as well as Chandler does is quite an impressive feat. He's only going to get better. The dude has a high ceiling.

There are two things you can't really teach in the NBA:

1) Size (to use to your advantage)
2) Handles (ask Trevor Ariza)

Parsons has both these things. That combination is deadly. He's going to be a damn good player for us in the future.
