ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 3/29/2014

Well can't say I'm confident after that first half. Horrible defense. Horrible turnovers.

 

Sloppy azz rockets

 

Why the F can't he stop jumping in the air without a plan???

 

Casspi and Lin were absolute crap out there.

 

Every game now and then and even in between halfs, Lin goes into this zombie-like state. Don't know exactly what is really going on with that boy. Is is just maddeningly frustating to watch, especially for people like me who would like to see him perform in a more consistent manner.

He is not a rookie so perhaps this is who really his: an average pg who is inconsistent.

 

Parsons is guarding Paul. Parsons has 18 points and 4 boards. Lin meanwhile has stepped with: 1-6 shooting, a couple of turnovers and has got beat off the dribble by the entire Clippers organization, including Donald Sterling. But, by all means, carry on with the woe-is-Jeremy pity party.

 

Jones/Lin needs to step up and help the team

 

Canaan, just play to your strength which is shotmaking. Make the safe pass.

Lin, don't drive against the Clippers big men. Shoot those midrange jumpers.

Daryl, work those phones and get us another PG.

 

Lol at Davis being out with a tamper tantrum

 

McHale happened.

 

How many fastbreak opporutunities did he blow for us? He's been horrible offensively too. Boxscore doesn't even show him dribbling around forever and not doing squat.

 

If Lin continues to play like this in the beginning of the third, we should consider benching him for the rook.

Have Canaan come in and focus strictly on knocking down open shots, moving the ball, and trying to stay in front of CP on defense.

 

Stop being butt hurt

 

Jeez, we really miss Beverley. Our perimeter D is atrocious, and our intensity is lacking.

Most people don't realize this, but we really miss Dwight on the offensive end as well. Even though he's a mediocre post up player, he still attracts a ****load of attention which opens up opportunities for Harden and especially Parsons and Lin.

Lin and Jones have to play better in the 2nd half.

 

Final outcome predictions?

We win by 5 points.

 

When you see McHale put Parson/Harden on CP3 and put Lin on Crawford,

even a 5th grader can understand how much faith McHale on Lin's D.

OK, I am actually with the move even though we got burn by CP3,

but what had Lin done on the other side of the court? That's where the problem is so far.

 

Parsons has 18 points in the half...the **** are you talking about?

Try deflecting Lin sucking to another player. Parsons is beasting.

 

some observations:

-lin was pretty awful. he didn't really do anything, and had 2 dumb turnovers.
- harden got all his turnovers the same way trying to split the defense. they're not calling a foul.

these turnovers, plus the ones cannan had have all primarily been live ball turnovers which has fueled the clippers break.

and can someone tell me why we are going under the cp3 to that extent? we were almost playing like him like he was he was MCW from the last game. he just took over

 

Lin isn't the only one playing. TJ needs to step up in the 2nd. Parsons can keep doing what he's doing and Harden needs to put his cape on and we good... No worries
