ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 3/22/2013

Livingston’s a hard cover for Lin. He’s not as good of a facilitator, but he’s got a lot more length. Cavs are smart to put him one on one against Lin, especially when Lin’s got two early fouls. What Houston’s got to do is set more picks up high and let Lin use his speed.

The Houston 2nd unit did well against the Cav’s 2nd unit at the beginning of the 2nd quarter. It looked like Houston was trying to go low post for TRob. He’s still a bit too jumpy… 3 TOs in 8 minutes.

 

Tryptophan.

 

2 million reasons. I really liked him before the final cut and even made a thread on him.

 

Neither the bench, nor the big men showed up in the last 2 games. Glad to see they're getting into this one.

 

yeah they are missing some open shots...

 

15 pages in one whole half?! Is that a new low?

 

I'm thinking maybe 10 points 8 assists max unless he can really get it going 2nd half. Lin's one of those guys who can put up a lot of points in one quarter when he's on.

 

You think we play down to our competition, the Heat are tied with the Pistons right now, the Pistons are on a 9 game losing streak or something too.

 

We're playing well, and it's a half-dead Cavs.
It would probably be 50 pages now if we started like that Minny game.

 

Livingston's height and length are giving Lin fits on both ends.

 

No, server went down. Many clutchfans are at the game.

 

This game is so boring...Houston not doing a whole lot but is still ahead by 15 points in the half. Houston should just let the bench play the second half and let the starters rest for Sunday's game. This game is pretty much a lock.

 

True, but this game will be over by the 3rd. Then again we might blow our lead like last game.

 

Rockets need to win this game & get all of there bad play out of there system. The Spurs may be vulnerable with parker just being reintegrated back into things after injury.

 

It's because Ron Jeremy goes all natural and doesn't rely on pharmaceuticals, so sometimes he just can't play hard.

 

This.

Livingston was superior to Douglas, but Douglas had guaranteed money on contract. This was discussed at length at the roster deadline.

Unfortunate for Livingston, but Douglas was packaged as part of the TRob trade so hopefully it will work out for the best.

 

Surprised it's halftime and barely 300 posts

 

Damn...Jeremy celebrated too much on the Harvard win last night. All of his energies went into the celebration, now too exhausted tonight.

He better bring it in the second half.

 

Good second quarter. Good mix of offense and defense, the latter started by our second unit. Beverly was tremendous on D.

 

Didn't want him to pick up a 3rd foul.

Lol, just read that about 20 people have responded to this.
