ClutchFans Game Thread: Warriors @ Rockets 3/17/2013

If we have 2Pat and TD, it will be

2Pat 2-11 (instead of DMo)
TD 0 points 0-5 from the field, 0 assists, 4 turnovers (instead of Beverley)

 

I feel a little bit better since I turned off my TV after 3rd quarter..

 

Could have been the best game of the season...had they pulled it off. Down to 5 points...

 

I LOVE LIN....huge fan.....he gets caught laying off his man sometimes and tonight he got burnt a few times. He also put a lot of energy into the d.....its stupid for people to say hes doesnt have stamina....hes playing hard both ends of the floor...fighting through picks...best defenseive guard we have

 

Makes me happy....it was a pathetic performance.

 

Mchale should let Harden do less ball handling and put effort on D.
It's not a good situation when his assists is more than PG.

 

Harden keeps saying we need defend better, but he keeps his ballwatching defense and leaves his man wide open, come on, his man is Thompson this game. I dont know what MChale have told him, he just never change anything.

 

Cause morey trying to get someone and doesnt give a crap about this season. This can back fire badly if we don't get the player he wants.

 

The last quarter score is down right embraasing. Instead of fighting, the team capitulated.

 

Seriously?

Curry played 45 mins, Lin played 35 mins.

Curry - 29 pts, 11 assists, 12/22 shooting
Lin - 21 pts, 4 assists, 9/16 shooting.

By your logic Lin lit up Curry too. And some of those points from Curry were when Lin was on the bench for 10 mins.

As for the assists, it's sure hard to make an assist when your ENTIRE team is bricking shots.

Really, bagging on the ONLY player who showed up strong is pretty weak.

 

yeah i stopped watching with like 6 min left in the fourth..

the run we had made me feel better, and i just couldn't watch them blow us out..

oh well, maybe it hits home for this team that they are not safe...

mchale needs to make some adjustments, if he wants to be here next yr.

 

McHale should ahve put Asik in way earlier. To start the 4th. GSW exploited that matchup with Bogut & Delfino. McHale saw it to late & then put in Asik afterwards. To little to late. I have said it all season Asik should always be on the court in the 4th. I get that Asik's stamina is an issue but honestly Rockets need to go all in down the stretch to make the post season. Sometimes we get lucky & get away with a win when Asik sits but that is all it is luck. Parsons had a really bad game but I am not to worried. Dmo was off as well but McHale needs to get him down into the post more. Don't start him off at the 3 point line. Let him get into rhythm with some post touches then push him out to the 3 point line.

Hardens D is a problem he ball watches way to much. McHale should have run Lin Harden PNR's down the stretch.

 

you putting klay thompson on curry's level!?!? This is a pattern with Harden, I remember Jeffrey Taylor scoring on him in Charlotte. He just doesnt try as hard as he should on D that's all.

YOu're the leader, super star of the team, you gotta bring it on both ends all the time.

 

Harden played awful in the 3rd quarter on D, but he had a hell of a game otherwise. We got blown the **** out guys. We didn't lose because Harden lost Klay Thompson for a few possessions in the 3rd.

We lost because we shot like utter **** in the 1st half, and the effort wasn't there to start the game for the third straight game at home.

 

sure. but there were a lot of plays lin basically gave curry those 3's. WIDE OPEN.

 

Harden and Lin's D could have been better but I'm not even surprised Thompson and Curry shot lights out. They both laid a stinker in their last game against the Bulls so they needed to bounce back.

 

Klay Thompson is shooting 39% from 3 and I think it's pretty well understood he's one of the best shooters in the league.

 

the problem is that harden benefits from lin to draw defenders and open up the lane and vice versa.

 

i agree...a perfect example was the ast shot of the first half....Lin sluffed off and the guy kicked it back to curry who missed the 3....Lin does this....when hes playing a great shooter he cant sluff off.....i also agree that Lin was held and was getting picked off on screens alot

 

That's the problem, McHale isn't exactly fond of making plays. It's one other thing I hope they can work on besides the team's lack of D. I can't really blame him for the loss tonight though, team just sucked tonight both on offense and defense.
