ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Blazers 11/5/2013

I apologize for my poor Japanese. Only 1 semester of it and the particles were always hard for me. Haha and on a side note. As bad as we have been, to come out 3-1 in a series of B2B has shown that as a team, we've improved tremendously. The mistakes like TO's are still there but even when one of our main weapons, the 3 was out, we were still able to collectively win with a strong defensive effort and inside scoring.

 

The only gripe I have about all the announcers so far is they all start very low on Lin....saying Lin this and Lin that, as the game progresses they all tend to shut their mouths to a degree. The Clippers game may be the lone exception...cause the team gave CP3 17 assists.:grin:

 

I apologize if I misread your post. I agree that Bev did have a good game and I was very glad to have him back, I think he is a big part of the Rockets success. I may have overreacted, it just shocks me that Lin goes out and plays a good game yet so many people don't seem to want to give him credit. The Rockets have went many years without good pg's and I'm very happy to have Lin and Bev here.

 

By itself as an isolated incidence it's fine, but it surely comes with a lot of baggage.

 

If the baggage happens to be upset Lin fans... not really a baggage then.

 

glad we still got some true fans who does watch the games.
rox pull off in 3rd Q, during that time Lillard got 0 pts.

 

Parsons needs to get back to run and shoot 3 pointers. Seems to be very hesitant when he stops. I have good faith they'll get it together soon.That being said, they all need work, nothing a good coach cant handle.

 

Your reading comprehension......



And you seem so confident in it!

 

No worries mate. Lin has been playing very well to start the year. I'm kind of split on whether we should start Lin or Bev. At first, I was totally in favor of Lin starting, because he is the better player. But he was playing so well with the second unit in the preseason the idea of him being 6th man warmed to me. We'll see what happens, but we have a great PG rotation.

 

Spurs loses tomorrow, Clippers loses tomorrow to Orlando, we analyze that lost to the Clippers as a fluke....and we call it a day after tomorrow with Houston sitting at #1 in their division and 4-1 in the conference.:grin:

 

Why you use meme with TWO Caucasian people? You have obsession with Caucasians. Racist.

 

See, it's perfect. Seek first to understand. Then to be understood!

 

Pretty much the case for anyone that registers 2012 and after.

I'm assuming once Lin leaves the team one way or another do future forumers have a chance to step out of the labels.

Its amazing actually, knee jerking is a saleable product here many a times. Gah we won, just enjoy the game dammit.

 

You are just kidding, right? I'm not getting it.

 

In the first 6 minutes of the third quarter, the Blazers scored 2 points.

Great team defense? No, clearly just Jeremy Lin.

 

finally you wrote something instead being pathetic.

i've seen ppl here used sam and kenny million times. that's it. can you come up other examples? i would like to hear you come up a long list to prove it is a common thing among nba.

I am talking about normal. what does normal mean?

 

Robert Horry in place of whichever "center" started next to Duncan. Manu Ginobili over whoever started at SG, Jason Terry in Dallas. But even if you've never watched a single non-Rockets game, Courtney Lee came in place of KMart.

And that's just off the top of my head, and I generally don't watch that much basketball. So if you think every starter should finish games, then you REALLY don't watch the NBA.

 

There are numerous examples- Speedy Claxton over Tony Parker- in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, won by the Spurs to win the championship.

Kevin McHale, our own coach, was a 6th man for many years with Boston- even though he was the 2nd best player on the team. He often finished games.

I could give at least a dozen examples, but it won't matter to you. You're a Lin fan first and a Rockets fan second. So, you have very little credibility in discussing anything involving a team. Stick to tennis.

 

Great game off a back-to-back, we mostly controlled the tempo, turned it over a bunch of times, but did not give up that many points off turnovers. Transition D and rebounding was a big factor, we did not get rebounds vs. Clippers and they torched us on 2nd chance pts and in transition.

On a back to back, McHale should have gone deeper into the bench to conserve energy from his starters. Too bad we didn't use D-Mo, Brewer, and T-Jones more ... they can use the experience.

 

I'm starting to suspect we only have a small amount of LOF's on here and the rest are made up accounts continuously looking to stir things up about Lin and trolling Clutchfans...

Spoiler

Or maybe I'm just trying to be positive and not let all the insanity over Lin EVERY SINGLE GAME drive me crazy, either or.
