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

Our free throws were terrible. We just have to keep working. It was terrible tonight."
-- Howard on the Rockets' 63.5-percent performance at the foul line

Why people keep using the word "We" instead of "I", just admit it dude, stop blame on someone else, that's what called a Man, still haven't grow up yet after these years.
and the coach is also the one to be blamed, while the other teams found your weakest link and keep on attacking it, he is doing nothing about it, that's how you lose the game. what is Harden doing on the final play, hot chick after the game?
Did all these people blamed on Lin for the lost? Amazing.

 

Right now the Rockets are a disorganized mess on both ends of the floor.

 

Knee Jerks. Bwhaahaha.

 

Uhm, was Howard this "bad" in Orlando? I remember him being the go to guy and scoring at will.

 

Some of the calls going our way were especially erroneous. I'm a fan of the team but that doesn't prevent me from seeing things objectively.

 

Howard played PnR in Orlando. He's refusing to play PnR and wants to go post.

 

oh Orlando, bring us the memory of t-mac, no no, no more Déjà vu again.

 

That game was fugly!

 

and when he does...he does not roll for the pass.

 

I gotta say that as much as I love drama, today is getting tough to take. I can care less about who starts, who is at fault, and who is better than who. However, what does piss me off is the classless act that happened when Lin got fouled hard. His teammates just stood there.

 

video?

 

After his 1-9 shooting at the time, they were trying to make sure he didn't take and miss the 10th shot. :grin: DOH!! EPIC FAIL. lol

 

so am i..it goes both ways.

 

I'm at work, but several others on here confirmed they saw the same thing. IT was pretty blatant.

 

Or god forbid 1-10!!!

 

If by double screen he meant wrapping his arms around Lin and tying him up, I guess he succeeded. Any other time, that would've been an intentional foul practically.

 

You need to go back and watch the game because that's not what happened at all. First Lin made the correct play by not passing to Harden because the defender never committed to Lin and he was guarding Harden more than Lin. Lin was fouled and knocked to the floor, both Harden and Parsons stuck a hand out to help him up, but he was bent over in pain and didn't see them so they walked away. Beverley stood there and waited on Lin, then he helped him up when he was ready. There was no need for all three players just to stand there.

 

Chandler- can you use this thing called GOOGLE and tell me what percentage Lin is shooting this season?

Comments like yours show that you just speak from your rear and don't ever try to back it up with the facts.

 

Even the Miami Heat took a season to gel. I was upset as anyone that we lost last night but at the end of the day, it was one game. Besides, I will get much more satisfaction beating the Lakers when Kobe is playing.

 

Great article and exactly what I have been telling people. Harden is our star and I love him as a Rocket. But he has to make his team better and not try to do it all himself. There is almost no ball movement when Harden runs the offense. It's either Harden tries to iso and take his man on the dribble or Harden dribbles away most of the shot clock and has to take a tough shot. To his credit, he is so good he can hit some of those shots but he misses a ton of them too and then you have 9-24. Yes he should be our primary option but maybe let Lin run the offense with Harden in as SG 1/3 of the time.

The Rocket's have the best ball movement when Lin is at the point. And Harden still get's his.
