ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 3/27/2013

So Harden's 3.7 TO's per game means he himself is responsible for nearly a 16 point turnaround every game? Damm dawg.

 

You see quite well I discussed the Pacers game.

 

Lin assists and plays defense to contribute... so you and every other LOH are hating because he doesn't score.

Why are you asking Lin to score? McHale doesn't want Lin to score. There are no plays drawn up for Lin to score. Lin is not on the court long enough to score.

 

Not in support of trading him, but plenty of teams take on expiring contracts to go after free agents the next year...

 

receipt for opponent team to win Rocket:

1)force Lin turns ball over ASAP, rocket coach will do you a favor to bench him.

2)once Lin is out, focus on harden.

just simple as that.

 

Can you explain why its a 12 point turnaround when they only scored 6 points off those 3 TO's?

 

Actually may be some truth to that. Spurs did the same thing but luckily for us Beverley exploded.

If I am not wrong Miami game planned the same way for us, i.e. take out Lin.

While Harden is good he can't do it all himself and besides Harden, on our team only Lin can create his own shot.

 

Agreed on the Pacers and Denver, not so much on Golden State. They just got beaten by Sacremento at home.

I kinda agree with Marc Stein's latest rankings which have us as the 8th team in the league, which is pretty amazing considering its the first year of the team.

 

coach never learn this is their plan and fall to trap every time and only blame player for poor playing.

 

Stealing my gameplan!!!!!

 

Shhh don't tell anyone!

 

I feel better about the loss now after seeing the Pacers destroy a red hot Dallas team on the 2nd night of a back to back.

 

That 3-1 season series is really making Golden State look like the better team.

 

LOL, pretty much!

 

The Pacers are really good... my favorite team in the East.

Their defense is just absolutely ridiculous. Watching them yesterday and today just makes you appreciate good defense and how their bigs do their jobs down low. (ie - rebound and clog the lane) And they play physical but not dirty.

The Mavs with 73 points with 2 minutes remaining in the 4th shooting 38% even though they've been on a tear offensively in March. Pacers outrebounding them 54-33...it's truly absurd.

 

Think about what I said about the warriors. He have half court offense and full court. Our bench is an awesome bench . Jerrid jack and Landry. Our team is more well built for the playoffs.

 

Bench doesn't matter as much in the playoff. And while I agree Curry, Klay, Bogut and David Lee are damn good, I think Asik, Harden, Lin and Parsons are equally good if not better.

For all of us who complain Harden doesn't play defense, Curry and David Lee are just as bad.

That and the GSW team are one Curry ankle away from imploding.

 

How did bev explode? Oh right, he made 4/4 on his first 4 attempts and went 0/2 th rest of the way. Must be considered an explosion in mchale's eyes.

 

bench does matter

 

I think he meant in a sense that while they did score 6 points off the turnovers, those were 3 possessions where we could have scored 6...thus a 12 point turnaround.
