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

More attention should've been given to Donuts. He was balling tonight.

 

CRISIS AVERTED! Jeremy's garbage game was a result of the flu, my LOF card remains tucked safely in my pocket

Get better soon guys.

 

I was actually hoping close to the end of the first quarter that McHale would sit Lin out for the night because he was clearly not in a good shape.

 

Blah blah Rocket's lost blah blah. Move on. Nothing you say or do will change that. Enjoy life. You'll live longer.

 

Thanks man, I don't have nba tv.

Some people have terrible vision, they can't see past a lot of things.

 

Too much one-on-one ball. It's okay when Harden goes for 46 and Jeremy for 29, but that won't happen every night. I can't wait until we get a coach who will put the players in better positions to score with more dynamic offensive sets. He just puts too much burden on the players and their one-on-one skills to produce offense. Really ridiculous. Also, even if we win, I still feel like this if they weren't running screens and picks to facilitate. I am happy for the win, but I feel it's not sustainable with the one-on-one ball.

 

Well... there's about 20 hardcore LOFs and then about 10 hardcore LOHs. But the LOHs (or LOFHs) only come out when Lin has a bad game.

 

funny how i picture that scenario in my head seeing it over and over again.. who can we get on the case calling perry mason

 

GREAT NEWS WE CAN'T AFFORD ONE INJURY

 

We just had noone left in the end. Thats what killed us. Everyone was running on fumes by the end. The Wizards are not the same train wreck of last year, they are a solid team thats clicking and we were coming off a grind in NY without a bench. It's not the end of the world.

 

Yes he did.

 

Wasn't dissing Lin. I love Lin. I think he has potential. No where in the post you quoted did I refer to Lin's long term potential. But I posted that after a guy said Lin's poor performance was because he didn't get enough screens. If you're going to give excuses then at least use the right one.

Saying Lin played poorly today because he didn't get enough screens just tells me you weren't watching the game and don't really care about Lin's long-term future. Half of these "LOFs" I don't consider fans because they don't criticize him when it's clear he should be criticized.

 

Glad to see Lin has a heart of a warrior, but the coach needs to have a head with some sense. PB was playing great on both ends of the court and was really bringing the defense and hitting the 3. So if your starter is sick and the backup is doing well... Sit him for the next game.

All he had to say was "J appreciate the attitude, but we got this one... You get well for the next game."

T_Man

 

It's a pretty well calculated risk. I think the Wizards were gambling on the Rockets not able to keep hitting the 3s on a b2b night.

 

This! especially after the pu pu platter Lin offered up in the first half.

 

Seriously, dude, WTF Rockets? Blame the flu? Are you serious?

 

I'm sorry but that's just delusional. I'd say we have a fighting chance but to say it's a guarantee against OKC and SA is just wrong.

 

I was a Lin only fan that followed Lin to Houston not literally but fell in love with ROX Harden Parsons ASIk r legit. This team has a very bright future and I mean this season not next

 

I don't think it's a blame game, rather, it's just stating the fact.

I won't read it as an excuse for the Rockets' loss tonight. The defense gave up the lead in the 4th and the offense became stagnant. That said, Parson played quite good though even if he's got the cold. Props to him.

 

46 to be exact.
