    Considering without him we would be 0-4 this season and that's his 1st bad game of the year, he is still getting roasted here.

    I really enjoy watching the Clippers style of offense. It really is a beautiful thing - screen after screen after screen, PNR, lobs, great ball movement, good substitutions, etc. They're just a fun team to watch from an objective stand point.

    Favorite part of the game was Garcia's technical stare down of Cp3. First thing to bring a smile to my face all game.

    Anyway, we'll get em tomorrow. I'm sure of it. It's way too early in the season to be as angry as some of us are on this thread.

    Night all.

    Agree very much with point 1. We sunk into the paint on every drive, thats what costing us all the wide open 3.

    Aaron Brooks and Greg Smith deserve to be in the rotation regardless of twin towers or Beverley.

    I think that is actually pretty good. Lin is not the focal point of the offense and doesn't have nearly the same opportunity to handle the ball like Paul. Plus, this is Chris Paul guarding him and Lin only had 1 TO.

    CP3 wasn't even trying to look for his own shot. If he wanted to he could have put up a lot more points, but he knew to pass to the open shooter. Nothing to do with Lin's defense.

    All it takes is one loss and everybody loses their shiet.

    Sry to bust some people's bubble but we ain't gonna go 82-0 all season. This was a ugly game, but maybe we needed this to stay humble and realistic. People have been going off based on the past 3 games how we're gonna dominate..bla bla bla. I'm hopeful but it takes these kinds of losses to help us bring it all to perspective and realize our weaknesses. When Bev comes back, when Harden realizes he needs to play D, when Lin finds consistency....then I'll be really really hopeful.

    I'd really like to see Greg Smith being worked into the rotation more, the kid's got potential.

    this left a sour taste in the mouth, but Rockets will recover. They are better than what they showed tonight. I believe!

    Don't forget Greg Smith, he played really well covering for Dwight.

    Good wake up call for the Rockets. Probably the worst we'll ever see Harden. Casspi is becoming a factor and really making an argument to stop with this twin tower experiment. Cisco 'I'm going to cut your throat' look at Paul was my only bright spot tonight.

    I will give him the benefit of the doubt of having a bad game. Durant had a bad game the other night.

    It happens

    in dosent have anywhere near Paul's court vision. Even if he had Paul's team, he is nowhere near good enough to perform some of Pauls passes and playmaking skills.

    LOF's are no sacrificing lins teammates to make excuses. Disgracefull indeed!

    It comes with experiences. He'll learn eventually.

    It is hard to say. It may change the dynamics of the game.
