ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 11/7/2013

i can blame this one on mchale , when nash was shooting FTs at 2:06 he shouldve subbed dwight got casspi in let 6 seconds elapse , take a time out and get him back in ... we lost this because of our perimeter defense lin/harden , and millions of turnovers we shouldve destroyed them early like dallas did 2 days ago , anyways who cares its one game we expect dwight to miss FTS

 

yea man, i noticed that too.

parsons's effort was garbage.. he's a bonehead thus far.

 

How in the world was Bev in for the entire 4th quarter? The dude was ice cold and we needed to score. Wtf man.

 

Of course it doesn't if u never played basketball.

 

I dont know if you are just trolling or seriously lack bball knowledge

 

I saw Nash on Lin and Gasol on Bev.
It's Howard's job to switch.

 

wow Harden has it for Lin never passed him the ball in the 4th Lin was waving his hands wildly open Harden ignored him and in this league the talent not the coach run the team. see Dwight Orlando Lin might b gone even tho he is the most efficient player on the team

 

See all you Lin Jock riders ------ if they are to switch, than it is Howards fault for not switching as his man set the pick.

DD

 

Tonight is an awful night to make that statement. You should at least wait for a game where Bev didn't crap the bed and Lin didn't play well.

 

Bev is not a starting pg I don't care if he fits better with harden he out played Lin in preseason but Lin is playing his tail off right now bev don't have good handles he has no court vision and he's pressing to much when we made our comeback he was on the bench I'm not a lof but we do need a legit pg

 

You must be watching a different game. So disappoint in this immature comment.

 

It was Lin's man!

Bev was doing what he always does... crashing the boards and being the best rebounding PG in the NBA!!!

 

I'm usually a polite person. But pls shut up!

 

Not really, I'm more mad that the Cats lost some early games they should have won, USC being one of them. Plus, I'm a real rockets fan, I didn't watch the Ducks game.

 

The pace is probably to fast for him right now

agree not sure why Bev the shortest guy on the court is in bounding the ball

He was being bear hugged not sure how you fight through that

Bev needed to swtich he switched late he was just standing out there watching

Bev needed to swtich he switched late he was just standing out there watching

Bev needed to swtich he switched late he was just standing out there watching

he was being bear hugged you don't fight through a bear hug

 

The stupid thing is that both guards are standing in the paint in front of Nash and Gasol when one of them should have been outside.

 

Yeah, Kenny Smith only completely disagreed with you. Obviously you know more about playing PG than a two time championship PG.

 

Lin should've slammed Nash to the ground hard on that last play…he was bear hugging Lin…& Bev? Rotate or Switch!!!

 

No, man. The responsibility should be on Howard and Harden. I'm not talking about on CF, I mean on the team. Blaming this **** on Asik is wrong. Harden, be awake in the first quarter. Howard, learn to hit free throws. Yao was bigger than himHoward dammit, and he shot 80%. Blaming it on Asik is just enabling H & H by stroking their egos. "Yeah, the rims were tight." BS, play the game.

 

I won't be too upset IF the Rockets actually learn something from this loss. But this iso crap from Harden has been going on since last season. Remember, it nearly got us swept against the Thunder. The only difference was they missed their last second shot in Game 4 and Blake hit his tonight. If Harden is gonna stand out there on the perimeter and dribble for 20 seconds, then bench him. Because it's not worth p-ssing away possessions just because once in a while he hits a 27-footer as the shotclock expires.

And the twin towers experiment better be done after tonight. It's spotting every team a double-digit lead in the first quarter, even crappy squads like the Lakers and Jazz. In fact, the Rockets found themselves down by 19 against both teams. That's not a coincidence.

Also I hate to say it, but if the best Dwight can do from the foul line is 5-16, Asik needs to take some of those minutes. At least you can count on him to make 50% of his free throws.

We'll see if McHale learns anything from this game. Cuz the next opponent is way better than the Lakers.
