ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 2/23/2013

Rox already shorthanded....lost smith........

 

Everyone's saying LA is gonna lose to Dallas. Dallas has as many losses as the Lakers. We're two losses up on both of them. With a back-to-back against the Mavs. The Mavs can catch us as easily as the Lakers

 

I posted this on realgm already but I'll repeat it.

I believe Bev was in because McHale banked on Emeka either making the FT or us being able to rebound if he missed, so he put in Bev for offense since he had been hot all night while Lin was cold.

 

this team has no discipline, 56 threes is just outright stupid unless you make like 25 of them

 

Who needs dwight howard when you got delfino protecting the paint lol
Okafor with the hook
Bad officiating
This loss was all on the rockets tho

 

Reports says he's been "under the weather" it this week through the OKC and Nets game also, so he can drop 25 against OKC while hes sick but when he does bad him being sick is the excuse?

 

That's what I heard from last game. He should have played less tonight.

 

Eggs act-ly.

 

lin isn't a starter in this league, everyone is better than him

 

We're two losses up on the Lakers and the Mavs, and we play yhe Mavs twice in a row soon

 

Excuses, excuses, excuses :*( Dude just looked like he didn't want to play tonight whether it's back to back or flu.

 

lin looked lost with no confidence the entire night.

 

hope so but counting on other teams to lose is not a good position to be in

 

It's one loss. People gotta chill out.
Nice to see King1 and ijHolmes back. They seem to disappear when the team is winning. ROH (rockets only haters?)

 

I don't understand why we didn't put Tjones in at the end for defense...

 

we went cold though in the last 4 or 5 minutes
We lived and then died by the 3

 

totally frustrating. smh. Delfino is not a 35 mpg player. In small ball or any other lineup. Too many TO's any time he put the ball on the floor. I was genuinely surprised that he couldn't take Nene off the dribble. Too many times he got abused by Okafor (who is pretty awful despite his big game)

Asik looked tired too. our offense will really take off with if our screener had some offense. There were many times where he was open with the ball and wanted nothing to do with it.

Motie played well. Definitely has to get stronger but I look forward to watching more of him as the season continues.

Beverly is a GREAT backup pg. Wish McHale wouldve played him more when it was clear Lin didnt have it today.

I'd like to see more set plays from us when things go awry. Our drive/kick game gets stale after running it 30 consecutive times and the D is keying in on it.

Kudos to the WASH coaching staff for adjusting after halftime and shame on our staff for not having a counter. This was a tough one to watch but I still like the group we have and I look forward to seeing what Morey can do with our offseason.

Once more for good measure, Delfino has no business putting the ball on the floor. EVER.

 

They made over 25....

 

they he shouldn't be playing in the crucial minutes. I don't care who it is

 

Washington player said in the postgame interview they were gonna give us the threes and take their chances. It worked
