ClutchFans Game Thread: Cavaliers @ Rockets 2/1/2014

YAY

 

The best thing about Lin's Triple Double was he was doing it with Harden on the floor. I always thought when there were better offensive options on the floor with Lin he would tend to shrink and just go to the corner after giving up the ball instead of doing what he did in NY. If he is confident and attacking (even if he is turning the ball over) it is always better than a timid Lin.

 

Enjoy the win. No negative vibes on this one.

 

Are you on crack? Is scoring the only thing you look at? What a complete joke of a post. Go away to a Lin fansite.

Both point guards played at a really high level yet you still have to take DUMB shots at Bev.

 

just don't tell me how serious the rockets are about a championship when your best PG is on the bench. from my point of view. I am not going to take the rockets seriously as a contender until they get a legit PG in the starting position. It's even more startling that a good PG is right on your roster who has proven that he can play extremely well under the right conditions. oh well.

 

I guess Evil Mchale isnt so Evil after all

 

only 35 pages. what else is going on tonight?

 

thats why beverly is starting. We need that with the starting 5. This game is a great example of why Lins role is best off the bench as the 6th man. the two have entirely different purposes for this team.

 

One major area for improvement for Rockets is how and when to pass the ball to D12. He could pretty much score at will today, but the team often overlooked him, or passed to him too far away from the basket.

 

That's what's so amazing. If Harden and Howard can get 20+ points a game while allowing other players like Lin, Bev, and Jones to grab the attention because they're playing well too, then this team will be very difficult to beat.

 

I know it's the Cavs, but i'm impressed that we held them under 100pts. Great win, and gratz to Jeremy on his first triple double. Hope he gets more of those or close to it.

 

i will say.

 

And only 5 turnovers and 5 fouls combined

 

Bev and Lin play great together, i dont know how you can hate Bev's energy and unselfishness , not everyone can be 25 and 10 every night

 

Almost had a double double with AST/REB alone. 5 STL is nothing to sneeze at either.

 

How do you block someone again?

 

OUr PG were awesome today. The lin & Bev combo is great.

Jeremy Lin only the 23rd player to have a triple double in less than 30 minutes. Some impressive company

 

Yeah, it takes the pressure off of the other players like lin, casppi, bev, parsons. It makes to where BEV can have 0 points and still be completely acceptable.

that is, if we win of course. If we would have lost this game everyone would have been flaming beverly and anyone else outside of harden,howard and lin.

 

I really like the bev/lin combo....they seem to have better chemistry than anyone else on the team
