ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 11/4/2013

Mchale benched harden ok my opinions have changed for our coach, he showed my he will not only bench certain players

 

Lin probably should just go under the screen and let CP3 beat him with jumpers, but not giving him driving lane.

 

Lin has poor lateral speed. It's how he mostly gets burnt on D.

 

considering Lin was playing with foul trouble for pretty much all of the second half. Besides, like 8 of those assists were to Reddick which Haren decided to guard with his eyes.

 

The refs in these first games have been super aggressive. The games are borderline not watchable at times.

 

Acting like this was all on Lin is absurd. NO ONE could guard CP3.

Also, in case you didn't notice, our team (collectively) just gave up 137 points in regulation.

God what an atrocious defensive effort.

 

CP3 made almost half of his points at the 4th quarter when Lin have 4 fouls already. The screen for CP3 is not the problem tonight. Actually CP3 was not our problem tonight until the 4th quarter. But missing Bev is the reason why Mchale is still putting Lin on CP3 when he has 4 fouls already and is expected to lead the offense.

 

14-8 is respectable game ....you want him to stop cp3 too??
What do you want from the guy? good shooting, assists, low turnovers and stop the best PG in the game?

Did you see those lobs? He just chucked 3-4 of them from the 3pt line. Guy averages 27/12....Lin did an average job on him.

 

He is improving. He just needs more freedom and experience.

 

You really have to give credit to the Clippers, they played outstanding.

And the Rockets hardly played pathetic. That is likely a win on just about every other night.

 

Brooks was doing a great job getting us back in it and McHale subs a 9 point clippers lead goes to 19 within 2 minutes and bam game over. McHale was badly out coached. He had one ball carrier on at alltimes and when the Clippers trapped the one ball carrier, we had no one else capeable of bring it up or setting the tone.


Harden was disgracefull. Just pure garbage. I'm glad McHale benched his ass in the 4th. Parsone defense was just as bad and Paul just ripped Lin a new one. In the end he was crossing and throwing lobs on him.


Only guy who earned his pay was Casspi and Brooks. Everybody else putrid on defense or offense.

 

So I wonder when will the nice and smiley Dwight turn into the upset L.A. Laker Dwight.

 

Hrm...
He should've said congrats to the refs too

 

Oh? Did Bev need a facial also?

 

haha would be more optimistic if we had less issues with this team's weaknesses

 

A win at Portland is the only cure for this horrible taste in my mouth after that garbage.

 

And Garcia helped him with 2 points.

 

Too many wide open shots for Redick, Dudley, and Crawford.

 

Yeah. I love Bev and all because the dude brings his A game every time he steps on the court, but let's be honest, his aggressive man on man D wouldn't work against someone like Paul, who has a bachelors in drama.

 

On defense that was as bad as it gets.
