ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 11/1/2013

This team is going to be the most FTA team.

 

Difference between this game and preseason was Dwight showing on the picks.

 

Good effort on everyone. That's all you can ask of your players. I am proud of our team. Not all games will be walk in the park. There will be up and downs. As long as your players give their all, I am proud.

 

lol hilarious, repped

 

This.

Besides the turnovers, Lin had a very good game, a little bit of everything. He is getting close and closer to Linsanity.

 

What a luxury to have Asik. Amazing. Don't really have to worry about foul troubles anymore with either of the TT.

 

Bye. Obsessive much? Hardin took over when it mattered. Great game from him.

 

He's a big factor in both wins, but he's also part of the reason why the 3rd quarter became a spinning wheel in mud. I can't speak for the others, but I'm critical of his mistakes because I strongly believe he is better than committing those bad plays.

With CP3 waiting, Lin has to control his tempo and make good decisions to cut down the TO.

 

Calderon 0-8.

 

TOs are overrated when you come up with a win, but if you have to talk about TOs...four of the five starters had 3 or more TOs. However, Lin's and Harden's steals should make up for their sloppy TOs.:grin:

 

How sweet :grin:

 

Its counterintuitive but stats show that the more TOs Lin makes, the more likely the Rockets are to win the game. Anyway, McHale really hates a PG with TOs. Maybe Morey can show these stats to McHale.

 

Lin does unfairly get singled for his TOs a lot more than other players. Sometimes people do it because it's the only criticism left. All players pick up crazy TOs here and there. Did no one see Stephen Curry's 11 turnovers last night against the Clippers? It kinda got lost amongst his shooting prowess.

 

Didn't realise Hardin played 39 min. Alert Houston, Parsons is still looking for his lost shot.

 

Zone defense. Very difficult to pass in there. That's why good centers are disappearing.

 

Yes, Lin was part of the reason why the 3rd Quarter was what it was. But Parsons committing turnovers and not making any of his shots also had something to do with it. No one passing the ball to Dwight had something to do with it. Refs ineptly, or corruptly calling the game had something to do with it. But I guess in the end, still Lin's fault?

I don't know why every time Lin farts in public everyone has to jump on his back about it.

 

Our starting line up had 18 TOs. Simply unacceptable.

Zone D definitely slowed the game and allowed Dallas to get in to it.

Not pretty but a win is a win is a win.

Also, NBA games this season have been called tight. Ironic that the one rule they're attempting to enforce to speed up the game is the same rule that is slowing it down.

 

Talking about TOs...Lin's GS friend Curry just landed 11 TOs the other night, but can that boy bomb from beyond the arc.

 

Next 5ive games are going to be crucial for the Howard / Asik combo

Jazz: Favors & Kanter
Clippers: Griffin & Jordan
Trailblazers: Aldridge & Leonard
Lakers: Kaman & Gasol
Clippers: Griffin & Jordan

 

Lol, absolutely true. If the starters were still in the game at the 3:30 mark, score could easily been in the 120s.
