ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Wizards 2/23/2013

Yo King, what's the deal? I'm not trolling bro but I want to know what your motivation is for being in this forum? I don't know if I've ever seen you post anything except to bash Lin. And you seem to be most active after losses where Lin plays badly. I see that your join date is 2004.

What did you do in this forum before Lin got here? If you are just trolling, then hat's off to you, you're very good at it. But if not, would it hurt you to talk about something other than Lin, or be more positive in general? Same thing to Holmes to a lesser extent. What makes you guys tick?

 

Except Feigen tweeted during the game that Lin actually looked ill on the bench, and reported earlier in the week that he was fighting off a cold/flu this week.

The flu doesn't mean you're crap all the time, but it means you fatigue more easily and recover from exertion more slowly.

And for the 11 games prior to Brooklyn, he was playing pretty darn well. His monthly numbers have improved substantially from his start where his numbers are now close to last year's numbers.

As for inconsistency, that's a given. He's young, he hasn't played a ton, he'll be inconsistent... just like this ENTIRE team except for Delfino and Harden.

Back off the ledge... it's not as bleak as it seems.

 

To be honest I haven't seen him in a long time

 

I want to punch something, preferably someone's face.

First of all.....Greg, what a downer to see him go out like that I pray it's not an ACL but that replay and his agony have me worried. Please basketball gods, let it just be a little scratch and bruise

-I love Beverly's trash talk, idgaf.

-Carlos needs to just give up trying to take a charge, it's clear they will never give it to him. Somebody better gif him shooting his head after being called a block the 2nd time lol

-DMo again with some great minutes, his defense seemed better today too.

-Jeremy ...where to start after his hot steaming pile of performance. Jeremy did his darnest to get me to give up my LOF card. JLin's been bad on back2backs but tonight he was on another level of scrubism and the reason for this loss. His mind was just elsewhere, far far away. Really his mind/swag/momentum just completely takes the second night off on a back2back and that's completely unacceptable. You're a STARTER now for pete's sake Jeremy! Act like one! He's gotta bring it EVERY game. I know he's young and inconsistency is expected but he knows damn well he's better than this!

 

those turnovers by harden and delfino cost us the game, killed our momentum and gave wizards the lead

 

look at LAL's schedule no chance they have a much harder schedule than ROX

 

Actually he played quite well the first half. He had a bad second half vs the nets. that was made pretty clear.

and people need to stop using the B2B thing as an excuse. not just for lin but for the whole team. This is the NBA every time has B2Bs and you have to adjust to it to get wins to get into the playoffs. theres no way around it.

 

Not the biggest Lin fan, but have to give the guy credit... He hustles his butt off...

The task of playing Lin goes on the coach... I could see playing the guy if PB was just horrible; but PB was having one heck of a game on both ends.

Again, this game goes on the coach... He should have called time out and reminded everyone of their roll on the team. Too many players were trying to do more than what they should. So this lost goes on the Coach and the players, but mainly the Coach...

T_Man

 

If you truly believe Lin is the best perimeter defender on the Rockets you are severely stupid!

 

Terrible, terrible loss; have to win these kind of games if you want to "go places." The Wizards are one of the worst teams in the league.

 

who cares really..

its not like we are going to win the championship or something

 

Plus the two turnovers at crucial moments.

The whole team starting from the head coach sucks, except for Parsons, Beverley and DMo. These three have not made as many mistakes as the others.

 

I looked up his posting history. Moron has been posting regularly on other threads. But skips the game threads when our team is doing well. He jumps in when Lin has an off game.
Guy is r****ded.

 

bull**** not bc of zone, the Rox were coached into and were not running any pick n rolls or double, tri screen plays at all no other offensive schemes but 3 ball 19-46 is TOO MANY

 

Comeeeeeeeeeeeee join the darkside LUCKY!!! but yeah definitely felt looked like Lin wasn't even focused on the game.

 

Not since they have been healthy.

We ran into a hot team at their place and lost a game by a few points.

Any ways
Rockets have the easiest schedule in the west left I think along with like a 7 game homestand in March. It will take a choke job for them to mess this up.

 

Good thing I picked up Okafur on fantasy team the other day...

 

You also need a starting PF who plays PF.

 

Last wizards position,why coach put wrong defender on the court.

 

Yeah I think everyone knows of his hatred against Lin. Nothing new.
