ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 11/4/2013

At least CP3 receives picks, Jeremy is one of the fastest in the league and he's hardly getting any. He could blow by CP3 if given the chance. I know CP3 is the best in the league but don't blame the loss on Lin. Remember the offense starts with Harden not Lin.

 

If Harden wanted to play he would have played. He didn't have it and he knew it.


Tomorrow he will blow up.

 

Well, congrats. But you should have known that a long time ago. McHale knows what HOF players are. He doesn't care who's the big shot on this roster.

 

can't wait for tomorrow's game.

 

I didn't watch this game tonight because I was working on a paper I had to turn in. But before I checked the score or tuned into the game I thought to myself, "Rockets win or lose tonight?" After a few seconds I randomly thought, "Loss, because of the refs." Was this the case tonight? Or did the Rox suck it up?

 

The problem is that we don't have a 3rd point guard to back up either Brooks or Lin in this case. Also, Crawford is one of the players whom Lin couldn't stay in front of last season. CP3 would've passed the ball to Crawford and let him score at will as he did last season.

 

everyone is acting like there aren't 78 more games in the season to work out the kinks in our team

 

All this talk about Harden and Lin, but Parsons's defense was terrible as well. Also missed some easy dunks/layups.

 

cuz mchale has class

 

You attacking like u'r surprised. Cp3 is unstoppable. His 17 assign is due to houston's lack of defense did u even watch the game??

 

Finally, bad play cost us and we didn't just overpower the opponent with talent.

Can't believe some people actually blame the coach or the refs. Granted we could have used Dwight more, but isn't that the reason we have Asik? 48 minutes rim protection. Sadly, perimeter is not part of the rim, I guess.

We just didn't have the energy to defend and basically gave up from the get go.

Gotta wake-up from this bad game.

 

I bet he was hung over this morning. I really think so.

 

I don't think I've seen this team set a pick through these 4 games.

 

He wold have done a hell of a lot better then lin or brooks plus Bev inspiers his teammates to lift on defense. He is the leader on defense.

 

Yes, players have to make shots to get assists and defenders that can't pressure their man give up a lot of assists. Crazy I know.

 

Lin was playing in foul trouble most of the game off 2 phantom fouls. His defense isn't the reason you guys lost. Team defense sucks, especially during that first quarter where the Clippers scored 42

42 points in the first quarter mostly from Reddick, Dudley, and Griffin shooting a midrange. Who's guarding them?

 

Rivers is an excellent coach. He exploited the Rox’s weaknesses all night and forced them to play the Clipper’s game. They got better athletes and a better coach. It seemed the only four players on the Rox that were hustling in the first half were Parsons, Casspi, Smith, and Lin. But once Lin got his 4 fouls at half time, Paul was just toying with him for the rest of the game.

Most disappointed in Harden.

 

Saturday!!!!!!!!

 

the league is rigged Kings and Lakers game

 

The clippers looked like an organized focus team tonight - very different than last year. Doc rivers is a great coach.

We looked disorganized - 5 individuals running around relying on Harden to take over which works agains many teams but no against the good ones.

If we had that type of coach, we would be Dangerous because we have the collective talent overall to be good. That's where I don't understand Morey. For a stats guy, he doesn't t us e that approach with his coaching staff. Mchales record as a coach or gm/president (cant remember which) leaves much tone desired.
