ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 3/3/2013

we should sign t-mac for a 10 day

 

That term is hilarious from the Yao days.

 

Parsons is 7/7 from the field for 18 pts.

 

on a one year deal, sure (next year)

 

Bromance duo with 35 pts, if they continue to the onslaught on the offense end, one of them is going to get it hard in the back end, probably Lin.

 

The transition from the 1st quarter to the 2nd is just horrible. If keeping the hot guy on the floor is what McHale supposedly wants to do, then he’s not doing it between the 1st and 2nd. Multiple games now where the hot guy or guys are abruptly subbed out during the 1st. In this game it was both DMo and Lin. I can understand that they need breathers, or that Lin’s ankle may have been bothering him for several games before this one (glad it’s feeling better now), but why do that subbing pattern when they’re still hot, and not when they taper off? It’s just so disruptive to this team’s rhythm, and then forcing them to have to catch up, and by playing Harden to the limit.

 

As Bill and Bull mentioned, Harden looks slow ever since bumping his knee in MIL. Even though when he drives, he doesn't have the same explosiveness for the finish.

 

T.Rob is doing well today, solid defense in general

 

Parsons has decided to channel his inner Harden this game.

 

Anyone notice that Lin's shooting form is a lot better after he's shot a bunch of free throws? Seems to get him in his rhythm

 

I MEANT LAST SEASON, NBATV REPLAYED THAT LINSANITY GAME AGAINST THE MAVS. HE KILLED THEM!

 

must have a satisfying night yesterday :grin:

 

I'm seriously worried about Delfino's shooting. If we make the playoffs I think it'll be key.

 

Lin has over 10 pts and 5 ast now. Time for coach to bench him for the rest of the game before he goes for 29 pts and loses the game for us.

 

Crowd gave him an ovation when he was on the big screen. Despite his last season, Tmac for the most prt was a bigtime player here

 

:grin::grin:

 

"We gotta find Mike James and cut his water off."

Words you never thought you'd hear in 2013, ha.

JB did mention what JayGoogle said, Dirk will get his/can beat you so you can't let the others get theirs too.

 

Lin is playing a great game also so far 17 points with 7 assists and only 2 TO.

 

Lin seems more relaxed today. He probably hit it off with Parson's family after the Orlando game. Probably was all stressed out leading up to this, which probably explains his poor performances leading up to it.

 

yeah I agree. Although I'm guessing that coach is trying to get the guys some early rest to keep them fresh for the second half. He did bench both DMO, Parsons and LIn when each was on fire...questionable strategy. Although Garcia came in and lit it up so part of the objective was achieved (getting Harden/parsons some rest).
