ClutchFans Game Thread: Wizards @ Rockets 2/12/2014

Please quit with the Lin smear campaign. Harden defended Ariza when he hit all his 3s. Lin had bad TOs, but harden and Dwight had worse. Nobody's perfect.

We won the game.

 

Bev has energy, but given the foul trouble he gets into (and his third injury of the season), he can't control it all that well. There's a reason why most players don't play like he does.

 

It's pathetic isn't it? I never wanted the Clippers to win but this must be the first time I ever wanted them to win so we could leapfrog them!

 

Relax man we won just be happy we didn't blow the game

 

Lol 790 doesn't understand this for some reason...

interesting as far as the FT disparity. Wizards just settling for mid range Js.

 

Great Caesar's Ghost! This game must have taken months off the life of any Rockets fan who witnessed it. I know I'm reduced to pouring a Macallan, while wondering how we could have had 50 turnovers and still defeated an NBA team, even one as mucked up as the Wizards. It was 50 turnovers, wasn't it? Absurdity, thy true name is Rocket! A 7 game winning streak and 36-17 going into the break really ain't bad at all, right? Thank goodness for James Harden's clutch play at the end, and in the end it counts as a W, not an L. I'm going to keep telling myself that.

 

Always bout lin, okokok, here are the facts.
Lin is young
Rockets use a 8 man rotation
Rockets play heavy minutes
This translates to less practice time
Houston plays read and react
Lin is asked to attack the rim at all times
Its understood that lin is susceptible to turnovers because of this
Lin needs a system

 

Rox as a a team need to learn to man-up physical defenses. Most of the time, we lost the great lead we had when Wiz, play much much more physical in their defense. We just didnt have an answer for that situation. Even DH was forced into turning the ball.

RoxFO do take note, its gonna be important as we step into playoffs time.

 

This game was an anomaly by the Rockets. This was the first game the Rockets had over 20 turnovers in 30 games.

Karma is good. Just like Parsons and Lin lost the game where they went ham from the 3 point line, so too did the Wizards lost despite someone hitting 10 3's.

D-Mo should have played the 4th quarter for the last two games. Jones seems to have taken a step back these last two games and D-Mo had out performed him defensively and offensively.

 

Ariza giveth. Ariza taketh away.

 

Rep × times 100.

What on earth are you babbling about?

 

Harden, Parsons, Lin, D-mo all leave their men to help when help is not needed. No one on the Wizards needs to be doubled and D-mo falls for switches every single time. Our defense collapses and the other team gets wide open shots, couple that with untimely timeouts and a guy like Ariza who obviously hates the Rockets and we almost lose. Defense needs to be addressed before the playoffs but I am happy for the win.

 

Man go take a nap on the freeway or something chill out joker we freaking won.

 

taken like what? what call are they complaining about? the Ariza foul? that looked pretty obvious to me.

 

From the Fans... to the coach... to the players.

The butt hurt is strong in this one.

 

The Lin bashing is pretty bad! From what I've read Lin turned it over a ****load in the 4th, but to those saying Lin is not clutch? Cmon guys, the guy has come through for us plenty of times when we needed someone to spark it for us, and Harden was the guy who sparked it tonight.

Good stuff by the team, i'll definitely watch the replay of the game tomorrow.
