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

If there is a award called Offensive Player of the Year, Redick'd win it too.

 

Actually, I am not that mad about his offense. It is his defense effort driving me crazy. If he is hurting, he should have played. If that's the case, it is coach's fault.

 

do the blazers draw phantom fouls too?

harden has a bounce back game goes for 43
howard 20/20rbds
and parsons and lin 16 each.


unfortunately Nicholas durant goes for 50 but we survive.

 

If he is the 4th option and only allowed to play the style you described when the other's are not on the court, how many minutes do you see that happening? Does coming off the bench really help?

 

This should be taken as an embarrassing loss for Harden. I don't know of he was hurting from the prior game, or it was due to late night partying. He was so bad, I can't accept that it was simply an off night.

 

Thank goodness for this second half of a back-to-back.

Rockets take it out on Poor-tland.

 

Who is the Rockets back-up 2 guard?

 

It's split between Lin and Garcia. Basically when Lin is on the court with Brooks/Beverley, he's the 2 guard.

 

I was there and yes lots of rocket fans in attendance, maybe more like 10% but still could see many rocket jerseys and t-shirts everywhere I looked. Interestingly lots of clipper fans were also cheering for Lin. That made it feel more like 20% of the crowd was cheering for Lin. Two little girls behind me were asking there dad who to cheer for, Lin or the Clippers. The dad said both

I sat behind Chipper Gerald and man he is annoying. Kept booing Howard even when he didn't have the ball, and keep yelling to Parsons "who are you" again and again.

 

Wasn't that Harden's man? I think he basically called out Harden imo in the post-game quote...''A lot of times I just come out with energy and that energy is not matched by the guy guarding me".

Harden not matching the other guy's energy? If I were Harden, then I would take offense to that.

Harden needs to pour it on this guy in H-town this weekend in the rematch.

 

Sorry, I meant Clipper Darrell. Think of him as a one man rowdy.

 

Haha @ Chipper Gerald! But God, that would have pissed me off. Did you say anything? I probably wouldn't have been able to control myself.

ETA: Do the Clips give him season tix?

 

Agreed put up 40 on that joker and shut him down defensively.

 

was there last night too.

team just didn't look crisp at all, on offense nor defense.

Harden looked lost at times, Lin just couldn't keep up with Paul, and Howard was essentially a non factor for most of the game.

some really frustrated plays included missed dunks by Chandler and Dwight, and missed passes that were intended to be alley oops.

Garcia and Casspi are nice.

no, he is just a superfan, not any affiliation with the team.

 

Actually he finishes right more now. Before he almost exclusively finished left.

 

Do you guys know where could we submit complaints about refs?

CBSSports Matt Moore--on is so ridiculous as to make such a gif that says CP3 puts JLin into a grinder. Yet in fact, Cassipi was next to Lin and served as a "pick" for CP3.

 

Who are you and what have you done with Dwight Howard?

 

terrible positioning by Cassipi, he is neither in the passing lane or the driving lane, but what a great pick tho.

 

I really hope they have seen enough of this Twin Tower garbage. It won't work in every game. The Clips made us pay for disrespecting them with that gimmick of a strategy.
It's time to stop playing around and start playing NBA basketball.
