ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 11/11/2013

I love that Lin didn't have assists tonight. He's at his best when he's aggressively trying to score the ball for himself. When he's trying to setup other guys when attacking the hoop it so often leads to a messy turnover and a fastbreak for the other team. Just try and score Jeremy. He's really looking like the perfect 6th man for this team. Happy for him. He needed a game like tonight.

So they had 30 more FG on top of the 20 ft missed by us. And we still won. Oh, my, who said raptors didn't suck.

Seriously, this has become a trend. During the second half in the last three games, we at times became disinterested, particularly our two stars. All harden. Wants is home run, laziness. Howard is like whatever. This can't continue.0

 

Did that seem like bitterness from Lin at the interview post game? "Just **** trying to find my role, just trying to find my niche." Did not seem like a happy guy.

 

just trying to survive McHale.

 

Skip.... keep hating on Howard

 

u worry a lot LMAO

 

Shot attempts are misleading because we get way more free throws than the opponent. They also got 20 offensive rebounds vs our 13. Raptors had 13 TO's so let's not pretend they are perfect either.

 

I also like this lineup best.

 

I definitely don't think he is happy coming off the bench. He needs to just suck it up and win 6MOY. Needs to make a name for himself in the NBA and actually win something. Easiest and fastest way he can do that is as 6MOY.

 

Skip always the man.

 

What was Harden's shooting % tonight. He must have gone something like 10/10 in the 4th and OTs. He is so clutch!

 

he had a great game, the team won...lets not do this tonight.

 

Lol Skip Bayless must always make a jab at Dwight.

 

Herrow? lin = 6th man of year + allstar spot?

 

After seeing him shooting so well in preseason and in this season, Lin should really take at least 10 3pters. He should do it like Stephen Curry.

 

Agree. Currently the best lineup.

But as long as they finish the games and get the bulk minutes, I don't care who starts.

 

Knicks game is on a b2b. Hopefully the team isn't too winded. I want to see Lin start, if only for one more game.

 

Skip is a well known LOF.

For a balanced view, find SAS's comments.

 

We were up 97 to 95and then Harden scored the next 8 points and had the next two assists. He also had a steal and a couple of very good defensive plays. It shows when he tries on defense, he can be very good. He shut Derozan down on the night.
