ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 3/30/2013

I hope our guys are ready to play. Even if they are, watch out for McHale F'ing things up in the 4th.

 

Our players should be rested and ready to get the win tonight

 

If we score more than the Clippers, we win, and vice versa.

 

christ I didn't know we had a game today. I don't see us winning this guys..

 

I think final score would be a better term. I have noticed that when we have a higher final score the NBA-sterns usually deem us worthy of the win. Trend?

 

Unless the Rockets shoot greater than 60% fg, I do not see how they can take Clippers. Since McHale does not like to play Asik, no way the Rockets can get any rebounds.

 

unfortunately, this will be a loss. Rockets lack discipline..but part of the growing pains, right?

hopefully we get back on track

 

I fear this is going to be bad to watch tonight. It would be great to go 2-2 but seems like it going to be 1-3 vs the teams this week.

 

yea, how does that happen

 

The team is tired for whatever reason. Probably physical but I wouldn't discount the possibility that McHale's coaching style is wearing them down. They just don't look happy being out there.
If they come out with no effort I think it's likely McHale has lost the locker room. I don't expect that to happen though....we have high character guys who aren't going to throw their coach under the bus this quickly.

 

The Clippers went down in San Antonio in a very physical battle, so physical that even Tim Duncan got fired up. If we come out dictating the tempo, there is no way they can keep up for 4 quarters. Then again, our starting guards have been awful lately so we cannot be sure we get the pace we want.

 

Loss. But hey, 1-3 is better than 0-4 during "hell week".

 

Keys to today's game - put the brown thing in the round thing.

 

I'm glad to see so many of us rockets fans having faith in the team again! This is just a tough matchup for us but I say if the game is close we win tonight!

 

Craig Ackerman will be back on the call tonight if you guys did not know

 

How about give Harden and Lin 35 minutes tonight and see what happens. So far Lin is averaging 27.8 minutes a game in March, that's pathetic, might as well make him 6th man.

 

Let's hope whoever's being guarded by Harden today doesn't go off.
Also don't play Delfino at the 4s for too long and let Griffin abuses him.
And most importantly, ****ing show up to play for once you bunch of pansies.

 

Is Asik still sick with the flu or something?

 

We need Omer in there as well.

 

We lose again 112 to 103

Harden plays better but still plays no defense. Asik fumbles and still can't catch a ball to save his life. Lin plays decent but gets benched because Chris Paul is on fire. Beverly comes in and Chris Paul continues to light everyone up but Beverly stays in while Lin sits. McFail is lost and randomly subs players in and out. He gives griffin a early Xmas present by playing Delfino at PF.

Oh and Chris Paul flops and flops some more
