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

Boy George

 

We looked really, really bad
the game I watched made me sad
if we could guard the perimeter that would be rad
and twin towers seems to be a fad
if we could not open games with it, I would be glad
tonight, while grieving, beers will be had

This loss is still pissing me off.... This season definitely won't be a dull one.

Just remember the big 3 were what, 9-8 their first 17 games?

 

because the Lakers don't play PG by committee. Everything runs through Nash. With the Rockets, you got Harden, Bev, Lin, and Parsons all trying to play PG.

 

I've been pissed all day in class.

The thought that we could be 4-3 by Sunday just makes it worse.

Ugh, Rockets you ****ed up last night, so bad.

 

Who assignment was it to guard steve ****n blake the whole game.
Yeah Harden can score a ton of pnts, but comon he let steve blake and jj reddick get off.
How he gonna guard wade or any other opposing shooting guard when we get to the playoffs

 

On the last shot Blake was not Harden's to guard. The one that won the game.

 

I know on the last play. Im talking about who was guarding him in the 1st qtr and throughout the game to let steve blake to get into his groove. and thats why we were in the whole early.

I re watched the game. The fakers looked like us making all those 3's

 

what was he doing? i see lin calling a play, and harden just walked to the corner. he was being guarded, but didn't even attempt to come to the ball or run a off ball screen to free himself, which was what lin was gesturing for him to do, it seems. and he just stood there, and took himself mentally out of the play, it looks. maybe he didn't want to run a play but rather just iso at top of the key? and it was bev that gave up the ball to lin instead of to harden. just a strange, strange play. and i'm assuming this is when he started to yell at lin at the other end?

 

Nice. Sad but true.

 

Let's worry first about playing at a level that would mean home court advantage in the west b4 a finals matchup against Wade.

 

Rocket's just looked bad last night, the Laker's wanted it more and were just in a god mode when shooting 3's. You could tell after the 1st Q that we were going to lose no matter how close it got.

It's going to take growing pain's that no one seems to want to wait for and rightfully so. Jeremy Lin has actually been playing very well, I think and shouldn't be the scape goat for the team's losses. Harden's D has been beyond awful and the TT experiment should be over with.

Everyone know's how bad DHoward's FT woe's are and shouldn't be shocked that he missed so many last night. He will never be a decent FT shooter.

Also, why the heck is C. Parson's always doing a pump fake? It seems that he is unsure about his shot and he needs to shoot when hes open.

Oh well, first week of the NBA and people are already claiming the sky is falling, its going to take time for this team to Gel.

 

"Well, originally, I think Steve [Blake] was going to set a pick for me, but I noticed my guy wasn't going to leave me so I could set Steve up for an easy shot. I just tried to set a double screen, and use my man to set a double screen on his guy. ... I saw him come off [the screen] wide open, he got his feet set, and I was like, 'This has got a chance.'"

Steve Nash

 

We did look really bad
at moments only
but I didnt allow it to make me sad
nor sorry

Whats the point of being sad?
this is clearly the business of people gonne half-mad

cause you wont be paid for being sad
and theres no award for feeling bad!

theres no benefit in being sad -thats for sure
being sad is only for people immature!

I'LL ADMIT IT...I COULD NOT SLEEP LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS SO MAD AT 3 AM IN THE MORNING OVER THIS STUPID F-ING GAME! I'M STILL ZOMBIE RAGING AT WORK OVER IT! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE, LA!

 

If it makes you feel better, we didn't deserve to win this game. Look at the FT disparity. We would have lost by 10+ if it were not for the refs favoring us throughout the whole game. We were outclassed all game on the court.

 

i blame howard for that mistaken tip in lol

 

FT disparity, refs favoring us? We have Hack-a-Howard on our team. Expect to see a lot of FT disparity!

 

Ever heard of the learning curve?

 

theres nobody on the lakers that can go to the rack consistently so of course the Ft's would favor houston
