ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Raptors 4/2/2014

I really hope the LOH comments are just trolls. I use to only really see them comment in retaliation to crazy/over the top LOF, but now they just flood the GARM/Game Threads.

 

friends*

 

Besdies score 16(albeit on poor fg%) 7 assists 2 steals 1 block 2 turnovers and the highest pt diff on the team.

 

Lin played good D, didn't turn the ball over on any bad passes like y'all cry about, didn't have the best game offensively but got us back in the game, and y'all still only can blame him for the game ?

I'm convinced Lin has to have a perfect game for y'all not to blame him for a lost. #THE HATE IS REAL

Lin+15
harden -15
Parsons -14

 

First it was LOFs, now that those people got a life, the LOHs come out in full force ****ing **** up again, can we have a peaceful game thread for once, not one that has "Lin" written in 90% of the posts.

 

There was a Toronto fan handling the boxscore.

 

Question:

what if after trading Lin away we get another polarizing figure at PG every damn season?

Prolly well fed trolls.

Seriously for the sake of the board if you've nothing good to say how about doing something more productive in real life? Clutch after every game says post game analysis starts from x point. All we get is 95% bs where everyone can't get along.

Cool off or log off sheesh.

Well, the Toronto game strikes again. 8 and counting.

Probably a win if we were at full strength, but the cards not falling our way right now.

Not too worried about this though. What matters is we maintain our current bracket and Howard/Bev are healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.

Homecourt would be huge for a Blazers series, but I still think we could win without it.

The only thing worrying me right now is the PG position. Lin has regressed so badly it is highly concerning.

 

I thought we all agreed that +/- is not a good statistic.

 

Hmm - tell you're friends I'm not Asian and I think they all suck. Point?

 

the scary thing is you have melt downs by our teams ending the season, before everybody's favorite pg even joined the rockets. it's an issue.

 

As long as Lin is on this team, don't expect anyone to get friendly with anyone. We will win the NBA championship and there'll still be people posting only about Lin and how much they love/hate him

 

Agreed. It's one thing for a player to have the highest +/-. It's another thing when that +/- is significantly higher than the next player on the team with most of the team in the negative.

 

In my opinion, we lost the game when parsons was put back in in the 4th quarter. Parsons was obviously really tired and defensively was a liability. Garcia was playing great D and he was in the flow of the game with Lin and Canaan.

Not to sound like a homer, but the refs really screwed us in the beginning.

 

Don't try to ignore this stat, especially when the difference is 30, that is definitely something

 

Why bother to do this kind of analysis. No fun. +/- never a reliable stats. Lin was just lucky on the court when Rockets caught up the score. He sucks anyway.

 

It's not a sole indicator of good play but it can be one indicator out of many others including the eye test. Lin having the highest +/- out of the entire team says SOMETHING about his play. Mainly, he was a big part of the comeback in the beginning of the 4th.

 

It's. It but today it actually was, if u watched the game

 

Sometimes I got to wonder what are the average ages of the people posting in the game thread, it like an elementary school playground around here after a loss. Its like the collective IQ of the board drops 15 points.

And people jumping all over Jeremy really need to chill out, while he didn't shoot the ball particularly well, I thought he played a good game over all. He basically led the comeback while James was out. He gets fouled on the last play with no call, and people are blaming him instead of the refs? Really? Smh
