ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 2/26/2014

Or the lack of a trade rather that got to him. Either way I think all our players are human and hate to lose.

I simply don't believe that our players don't at least try when they are on the court. Who wants to ruin their career with bad games SMFH. Life ain't no computer game witha 99 life gameshark

 

The whole point guard debate or fiasco wouldn't even be as bad if our superstars weren't so inconsistent at times. There lazy/pathetic play just makes that situation more noticeable.

 

I don't get the Clippy hate, as long as posters are generally respectful, it shouldn't matter what team they are a fan of. He's never in the GARM anyway. We will eventually beat the Clippers and then we can talk some trash back.

 

Now I say this knowing full well that I am a new member.....but I've been a rockets fan man whole.....Most of these inflammatory posts and so n so sucks this and they need to bench this guy or that guy after a couple bad games seem to be new members who I assume are new fans or new to basketball in general because my god there are some dumb comments out there. ...mind boggling dumb. The rockets could win 50 games in a row then lose one and now they suck and have no shot.


Long story short. I question the emotional stability of some of you people.

 

Hope you're kidding about Lin being the closer. Especially tonight!

DO YOU always TYPE like this?

 

Because he's our only PG besides Beverley?

Proof that LOHs are JUST as bad as LOFs.

 

Bev is actually not good coming off the bench... But he is a good fit for the starter position. Both of them need to go...

 

so what about Jordan Hamilton? kid looks like he could give Harden some rest

Makes a ton of sense.

Hey buddy, there are several turnover leaders on the team and Lin isn't up there believe it or not. Point the finger equally if you're gonna point at all. Funny how they get passes...
As for being a liability on defense, Bev is a liability on offense. Lin's D is better than Pat's O any day of the week if you actually pay attention.
This recent stretch just looks bad since he's in a major funk for some reason. He seems like a completely different player from the beginning of the month.

 

He has no confidence you can just see it on the court when he is open he hesitates to take the shot most of the time.

 

Why can't the Thunder beat the Cavs with Westbrook!?

It's really not this simple.

Was that last game the end of a road trip? What about the coach? Doc Rivers was not coaching the Clippers then and that's a huge difference...did players (Blake) improve?

It's not that simple.

 

First he was supposed to be the man. Then Harden came, so he took a back seat. Then he lost his starting job to Beverley for some flimsy reasons. Then they claimed he'd be the 6th man but never treated him like one. Now he's getting 20 minutes per game and is lucky to play more than 5 minutes at a time.

To be honest if this is him pulling an Asik he's restraining himself.
Most players in his situation would be pulling a Lowry.

 

How can u say Parsons is consistent he has played good lately the start of the season he was complete trash look it up

 

Obviously McHale didn't think so tonight.

 

We are significantly better, lol. First two games were so early in the season we were not nearly a good enough team, and tonight was the last game of a five game road trip on a back to back. If you've followed the NBA for more than a year or two, you'd know that teams usually lose those games.

Rockets hung in there most of the game despite missing many, many open layups and playing sloppy.

 

can't do much if you don't get enough minutes to play and when the players can't finish the passes. I remember 2 passes where DMo and TJones should've finished easily but didn't make it...

 

Lin sucks. He needs to be more aggressive and stop playing passive. He needs to stop playing as a ****ing facilitator. I am starting to hate the way he play the game now. Stop letting other players school you and stand up for yourself. Remember the super aggressive LIN?? Where the hell did he went?? You can't just bring it ONLY if you want to...you gotta bring every game cuz you haven't proven shyt. I am an LOF and i support him but i am starting to hate him now. Just the way he approach the game and being super passive...i ****ing hated it. Wide open to the lane for a layup and chose to pass it out instead. Learn to do some drop shots.

 

I'm emotionally unstable. I wanted this game, because I didn't want us to drop out of the 3 spot. Because I don't want to play the clippers.
