ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 11/9/2013

Does anyone know why Chandler was slashing out at Jeremy?

 

Honestly, if the point guard doesn't look like he knows what he's doing, it's more of a reflection on the coaches. They went away from what was working in the 1st half with PnR and started playing too much 1-on-1. Did they even try to run any plays in the 2nd half?

 

Not you...we did.

Who knows why, maybe McHale was experimenting with one on one basketball.

 

Howard is a renouned chemistry killer. Cyberx is spot on that Howard wants a new PG and it shows.

 

Our team isn't playing like they like each other. Too much selfish plays from everyone.

 

You guys talk about momentum killer than look no further than that missed layup by Garcia....everything just seemed to head down hill after that play. Great pass by Lin and screen by Harden......:grin:

 

Really? Patrick Beverley was our best player out there tonight, can't help it if McHale stuck him with a lineup in the beginning of 4th that didn't work.

I didn't think Lin's TOs were that bad, but as always, according to CF it's why we lost the game. No doubt tho, this was one of the worst I've seen from Lin this season.

 

we completely abandoned the PnR in the 2nd half

 

versus the Raptors, let's just sit Harden and get him completely healthy

 

In the West a 4-3 record puts you in equal 6th…In the East it puts you in 2nd place.

Run Pick'n'roll all game if necessary, if the players don't like it then tough!

I used to have a 7'0" guy who loved to shoot 3's. I told him that for every 3 shots he takes in the post or P'n'R he can launch a 3.

He didn't like it at first, but his other option was sit on the bench and I'll play someone else.

Get tough on the team Coach or this season is going to be embarrassing.

 

its not just you. Dwight DOMINATED in the 1st half with the pnr with a sprinkling of post ups. 2nd half they stopped.

 

McHale interview on

 

Lin didn't blow he just needs to start shootin 3's they just started clogging the lanes when harden was out they knew he would drive the ball. needed ball rotation for open 3's

 

they packed the paint and we couldn't knock down shots and get open... So frustrated. they looked like zombies out there.

 

Fed dwight the first half good things went away from him in 2nd half bad things happen feed dwight the damn ball no center in the league can hold him that will also create open shots for everybody then it will also make dwight be a beast on defense which he is already doing but it will also turn into fast breaks and transition points for everybody else why is everybody trying to get THIERS and struggling when Dwight can make the game easier for everybody else and all y'all fans who say dwight has no post game you can't give him the ball in the post y'all are crazy nobody and I mean nobody can hold dwight in the post post moves or not Dwight gets his in the paint believe that harden Lin and now chandler are all trying to get theirs when they should just let dwight do all work I'm going to try to stay positive and just say I guess they're not use to playing with a big man like Dwight but sooner or later it will sink in FEED THE BIG DAWG

 

I am really tired of hearing Harden playing injured. It's been like this ever since all-star break whenever he had a bad game. And next game he would mysteriously become healthy and played great. When will fans quit giving excuses for their favorite players?

 

Rockets are going through a bad shooting spell it happens but you gotta be in control and lead your team at the point guard position. Lin is out of control and makes too many game killing mistakes. When driving to the basket he jumps in mid air and doesn't know what to do with the ball... turnover.

 

Only Harden and Howard allowed to have injury excuses for bad performances. Lin most certainly is not + Lin's injury was his elbow or wrist so that's not serious.

Lin will be traded. He needs to be showcased injury or not.

 

yea he went out of his way passing the ball with 2 seconds in shot clock without even trying to create anything. That's why the announcers were blasting him. Why does he have to hold the ball for 10 seconds and dribble in the same spot on top of the key for another 10 seconds and then pass to someone with a defender already in his face just to brick?

 

DeAndre Jordan was simply outworking Howard on the glass. If he did not grab the offensive board, he would still tap it out to a teammate. DeAndre was setting deadly picks for Paul, Collison and Crawford while Dwight was looking dazed.
