ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 12/25/2013

BTW- that is how you should play the Mavs too, they are OLD as well, run them and then run them some more - get in a lot of early offense, don't let the old men slow it down.

Push push push.

LIN has more blocks than turnovers.

Say something, LOH.

 

You would be constantly complaining too if every time you touched the ball you were damn near assaulted.

T Jones had a great game, but he's no dwight.

 

the starters need Lin possibly more badly though & it's a big advantage to start your best players.

 

No. I didn't think Lin played like a scrub. Lin was Lin tonight.

 

THIS. Well said.

 

but dwight complains on every play that doesn't go his way to the refs or his own mates so it is not credible.

 

Cause the bench sucks and we continue to give up leads. We need a scorer on the second unit. Seems like simple logic to me.

 

Agreed!

Signed,

Manu Ginobili

 

They mad, while we enjoy a very Merry Christmas. :grin:

Imagine, instead of making 4 ISO shots Harden screwed up the first two. What do you do if you are Harden on the third time? Plow it through? Or pass it to Lin who can also create? How much more difficult it was for the Spurs tonight when both Lin and Harden are hot and playing at the same time?

Simple logic folks.

 

I hear you but the Mavs slow the game down and with the Rockets they use the zone D more often. Plus Harden did not play this past game against the Mavs.

 

Harden was OKC's playmaker as well, lol

 

Terrific team win...Thought the Rockets and their early effort, helped them pull this win out. Of Course, Harden was brilliant down the stretch, but this was a total team win. Everyone played terrific team basketball.

Btw: Bill Simmons is wrong. If the Rockets were firing on all cylinders, the Rockets would be knocking down shots of the bench and hitting FTs. Scary to think that our best is still not evident. The Rockets starting five came to play and played well throughout the game.

 

A scrub... Wow. That was harsh... All Star he is not but Beverley is no scrub. Lin and Bev are both high caliber back up point guards... Lol..

 

Lin is the best play maker on this team. As a starter he gets the offense flowing much quicker. If Rockets can jump out with a huge lead, having a mixed lineup throughout the remainder of the game may be the best bet. Once a few rockets get hot, it doesn't matter as much who's on the court.

 

PLEASE do not trade Jeremy Lin. Lin is still developing and is only going to get better.

I don't care if he starts, or if you bring him off the bench, but DO NOT trade him.

 

I've noticed that pop seems to get the most pissed when the rockets beat them. Any other team his all smiles

 

BIG WIN


Can't enjoy it for too long. Beat Memphis tomorrow.

 

Pop is never all smiles.
