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

7 may not be a lucky number for the Coach, nor for the players. lol.

 

what a coincidence lol

 

Lin fell on his ass, wasn't moving freely, got tripped and then kicked on the way down. I'm not so sure his 2nd half issues were McHale being mean....

 

@Jonathan_Feigen: Rox ignore Twitter logic he should play every min, every gm until he drops. RT @777am: @Jonathan_Feigen Lin just came why is he taken out?

 

True, and the Clippers defense could have already adjusted to stop lin from scoring. Problem is no one else stepped up...

Lin only scored 2 pts and 3 ast in the 2nd half because his teammates other than Parson and DMo were busy building a brick walls on open 3s. Lin was just as aggressive in the 2nd half, he missed the layups but created 2nd chance opportunity for put back.

 

Well you sure can have your own opinions just like other posters have theirs. Calling other posters comments 'rubbish' as if you know everything is laughable.

Just because I'm (and some other posters) not happy about McHale/Sampson's body language when Lin or any of our players make mistakes doesn't mean I/they believe all this conspiracy that 'coaches want Lin to fail' 'coaches hate Lin' (of course there will always be a few extreme ones just like there will always be a few extreme opinions to every other thread/topic).

Don't ever compare Lin's case to Shump or other players because Lin's case is unique in terms of people trusting his abilities to play. Even Lin himself said that he has to prove again and again to the coaches that he is able to perform. The trust/believe issue is part of what Linsanity is about.

There is a cheering/chest bump from the coaches when Lin is playing a good game, then there might be a trust issue that consciously or unconsciously in the coaches minds (heck, even today, in hoops world, there is still plenty of doubts as to Lin's ability to play) which we don't know. Don't sound as if you know everything. Maybe coaches themselves are discovering things that they don't know. For example, Sampson was clearly worried about Lin's ability to defend at the beginning of the season and now I guess at least he believes Lin can be an average defender if not very solid. That took a lot of games of Lin to finally made Sampson to trust Lin's ability to defend.

A lot of so called 'rubbish comments' from Lin fans are just expressing just their unhappiness/frustration about the trust issue that Lin has to face more than anything (a few extreme opinions don't count). If you don't agree, fine, you are entitled to your opinions. But don't call those comments 'rubbish' just because you disagree.

LOL @ Morey worried about the pingpong duel with Lin. That's funny.

 

We really need to start a petition to ask Morey to put live streaming of their ping-pong match here. I'm extremely interested. Should be a hilarious match watching these two compete. :grin:

 

I think he's saying Lin's injury is more important than the pingpong match to @kayincateyes. At least that's how I interpret it

 

We NEEDED Delfino tonight and he failed us.

DMO looked awesome. Other than he got himself in trouble a couple times by dribbling/going too fast, he showed that his moves aren't just good during garbage time.

 

Thanks for saving us Captain!

 

Not obvious enough to some apparently

LOL @ Morey worried about the pingpong duel with Lin. That's funny.

 

Of course!

It's just funny that this pingpong match is getting to be a must see event. :grin:

 

Any idea if it's going to be broadcast?

 

LOL'ed so hard for PPat...hahahahahha...but I love Ppat no matter what..on to the next game..Go Rockets!!!!
