ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 2/13/2013

Harden's a warrior! The schedule is supposedly randomly made correct? How in the world do you plan a back-to-back both at 10.30 PM? It would make sense to have the first game at the earliest possible time and the second at the latest possible team to have players as well rested as possible. This results in a better 'product' and is more fair. This is just ridiculous..

 

Harden should sit if he's not healthy. Was hoping to get one of these games against the Warriors or Clippers and we got one. Give Anderson and Douglas some playing time. I don't care about Beverley since he isn't going to help the Rockets in the playoffs with his propensity to brick shots from long range.

 

Frankly I think CP3's defense is overrated. I mean, he gets steals, but his overall defense really isn't that special IMO. Bledsoe's defense is what I would worry about. If Beverley is backing up Lin tonight, then Beverley is going to step up big time...

 

Scheduled loss with or without Harden, I think.

 

The difference between VDN and McHale is that VDN has learned his lession in CHI and knows that he has no clue, so he no longer try to meddle too much. He just lets the talent do their thing. McHale, on the other hand, gangster-walk to half court to chew out players for not doing it the wrong way.

 

How is TD as I have missed a fw games lately? I hope he can play and he deserves some playing time

 

Cute.

 

His defense is a tad overrated but the nba isn't about 1 on 1 matchups to begin with. Lin will have a hard time with the interior defense that the Clippers have. He won't be getting a lot of easy buckets off drives and if he is not careful with the ball I can see CP3 forcing many turnovers off of him.

Not that it really matters though. Its CP3's offensive impact that is worrisome not his defense.

 

Mchale actually has an offensive system. VDN's system is give CP3 the ball and gtfo out of the way.

 

First of all, it's at 7:30, not 10:30. (Even if you live in Houston, it's 9:30.) You couldn't reasonably ask any franchise to start their weekday games before 7 or 7:30 p. m. Whether you should have back to backs on Tuesday and Wednesday is another question, but Tuesday and Wednesday night games are not going to start before 7 p.m. You'd lose too much of your crowd. Even high school varsity games seldom start before 7.

 

Missed a couple of games with a vicious hip pointer.

 

You my friend need to go hide , you used logic to better the NBA, so know the STERN MAFIA will find you and silence you:grin:

 

I'm guessing you're on the east coast. 7:30 is perfect for us on the west cost.

Both games are at the same time and since the first was in Oakland and the second in LA, the difference is what's important here. You actually made my point even more clear, because the games can start later than 7:30 local time..

 

Trap game for the Clippers if Harden doesn't play. Clippers against the Lakers tomorrow on national TNT game.

 

No Harden... we go into the allstar break with a loss 101-89



Unless linsanity makes an appearance

 

definitely a trap game for Clippers looking ahead to Lakers, need to get out and run and jump on them early

 

I know I have never got it right, but I will try it one more time.

Rockets 112 : 111

DF makes a 3 pointer game winner:grin:

 

106-83 Clippers
