ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/29/2014

Lin should have been shooting 2. Bad call. Maybe it's karma though - it didn't look like Marion fouled CP when he got that call.

 

because it's calderon guarding him not a big

 

Floaters are Low percentage shot for Lin.

 

We shot 63% and only up by 6 , and Mavs didn't even make a single 3.

 

Seems like DMO is the only one who can slow down Dirk.

 

Well Dirk being 7-9 kind of helps things, as well as them outrebounding us and taking 8 more shot attempts.

 

Lol, at Dallas commentators in the break (off air)…'You know that the team that scores the most points is going to win this thing'

Ya Don't Say!

…and then making sexual heavy breathing noises and saying 'oh yeah, oh, so that's what she's doing' as they watch the female contortionist.

 

How many and 1's did Mavs get? Gah damn.

 

and Calderon did a great job on flopping. :grin:

 

Lin went with the smarter play. Drawing the defense and passing it off for a dunk wouldve been the perfect way to end the half. Too bad the refs called a ridiculous charge on him. What sucks is that both Lin and Bev have 3 fouls already. UGH

 

Should have been a block and 2 free throws for Lin. Hope that play doesn't come back to haunt the Rockets.

 

Both teams playing garbo D.

 

I hate the terrible calls that Dallas always get…That Cuban money goes along way.

 

Sorry, off topic (but since we have nothing better to do at half-time, right?). What does this mean?

Dwight was cold in the 1st quarter, and ridiculous officiating is keeping Dallas in the game.

 

No James Harden.

Ditto, good job by the current guards!

 

We played well offensively, but this seems like the classic second half letdown game. They are scoring so easily and seem to be getting most of the calls. That flop by Calderon was just disgusting, that should be a fine/warning from the league.

 

That flop was pretty bad

 

I hope so too and I really think they are growing and also using snubs as motivation. All Star and for Parsons team USA. Not only that D Mo and Jones are getting better and for being a new team they all look like they are getting closer. Saw the interview with EJ n Dwight and its good to here him still seeing he came to Houston to win Championships like he believes in it. That is great to see, I bet that is talked about with the team too. Bev pushing Lin in the head, Harden getting super crunk for Howard and LLin among others, Parsons record breaking 3's and even McHale, who I reallly dont think is the answer as coach, and Brooks awkward spot yesterday gives me a lot of Hope. Not to mention clutch D Mo last night n more is showing me a lot about this team! I wrote that fast while talking to my nephew but its not hard to see what im saying.

 

Not a flop. Calderon attempted to draw a charge. He got there late. Lin still clipped him on the side enough to make him fall. Bad call by the referee != Flop.
