This game was like watching a train wreck. Very similar to last nights game except last night we played a team struggling even worse than we were so we pulled it out. Oh well. LONG home stretch coming up now. I hope we CRUSH Phoenix Wednesday.
LOL Raksol and Sportsbook are either the same guy or they both alternate carpooling with their parents to school every day. 13 pts 6 assists is pretty solid for a backup pg, so there you go, be happy.
No I didn't edit my comment. Clutch took care of it and I do not blame him. I made an ignorant comment. I will admit that. I do not think it was irrational, but it wasn't necessary. I still think Vanity is an idiot and a LOF looking for attention. I will end the discussion with that statement.
I'm not sure if we are talking about the same foul. I remember the one you are talking about, and I don't think I'm talking about the same one. Regardless, my point was that towards the end of the game, on one of Dragic's last shots, Lin had to back off because he had 5 fouls.
Like I said, Golden State, Utah and Houston are on a landslide. All of them are collapsing. Its just a matter of who can collapse harder. Its the perfect storm for the Lakers. IMO at the end of the year it will be 6. Lakers 7. Warriors 8. Rockets I don't think we can outtank the Jazz. It would be very hard.
Lmao Rockets never gain any ground. It may hurt them down the line. All this stuff is sure is helping the Lakers though!
PLEASE!! Lin played a bad game today; plain and simple. Not a knock on Lin as a player (and I'm a fan of Lin), since everyone is bound to have a bad game once in a while. You learn drom it, improve, and move on. But this "nothing is Lin's fault" argument is just ridiculous. And don't even try to blame the loss on Harden. I'm not a fan of his ISO either, but without Harden the game would've been a rout for the Suns.
pass. Lin on the hand.. Not a chance.[/QUOTE] learn to read bro. The guy said Parsons was fine today. If he said "Parsons shot poorly today, but he deserves a pass" I would've agreed with him. Lin on the other hand? 3 games ago he had 21 and 9 through 3 quarters in a blow out win. THen he had 12 pts, 3 assists and 5-10 shooting through 3 quarters and got benched the rest of the way in a game the Rockets ended up losing. THen yesterday vs the Warriors, 15 points on 9 shots, 7 boards, 3 assists. In the 4th quarter, he had 6 poings, 3 boards, an assists and steal. He made the biggest play of the night, drawing a foul hitting 2 ft's late to increase the lead to 4. Stephen CUrry didnt score a single point in the last 6 minutes. Explain to me how despite those last 3 games you hold onto this "not a chance" stance.
nah....Harden has to be less ball dominant. That's like a Knicks fan saying "without Melo this game would've been a rout for ----" well guess what, since Melo's been out the Knicks have been playing better and today they routed the JAzz by 30.
Agreed. Missing shots was not the problem. The problem was our inability to generate any kind of offense outside of one-on-one basketball. Lin is the only one who should not get a pass today. Lin was obviously horrible today, probably the worst one on the court.

Parsons has had amazing stats the past 6 games. Parsons was due a bad game...Lin not so much. He played like crap and he had no excuses. Thats all there is nothing more nothing less. Unless you don't believe Lin sucked today and want to blame it on McHale. Then I can understand I guess.
@Jonathan_Feigen Rockets best quality not scoring. It's def rebounding. Rank 2nd. (5th in pts per possession.) Tonight, gave up 24 2nd chance pts. Ballgame.
