ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 11/13/2013

Whatever can change the subject to Jeremy Lin.

 

Whoa there!!!!

Clutchfans rule #72631: Thou shalt not mention mere role-player's name or equate him in any way whatsoever to top 3 players in the league or Hall of Famers past, present and future.


For this blasphemy, be prepared to be called a Lin Only Fan!!!

 

Welcome to the Houston Rockets defense. a putrid team like the Lakers had career nights, we had Utah destroying us in the first half, the Clippers had their biggest half in a decade and it goes on. Our defense has been putrid.

 

Our defense is built around Dwight Howard, seriously, guys don't even bother to rotate or shadow their man because D12 is there in the paint.

Well tonight, Spencer Hawes was hitting 3's, and that forced Howard out of the paint. Therefore, the lack of defense.

 

Right! Durant makes $18 mil and Paul $18.5 mil a year and Garcia makes almost $1.3 mil. I think that is also one perspective to evaluate 3pt shooting percentage.

 

Where's Brewer? Whatever happened to him? I don't know why he's not even played when we are defending. Situational substitutions is a trait of a good coach.

 

One thing you can say, both Moneyball teams are frustrating their general managers.

Morey wants to win but we keep losing. Hinkie wants to lose but his team keeps winning.

Our 3ball shooting woes are really causing these losses.

Here's a look at how Anderson scored. Lin got blown by alot.

 

Wrong again.

Chris Paul is shooting 21% from 3 point range this year, far worse than Garcia.

You're really terrible at this whole perspective thing.

 

Then maybe we should have done TT tonight with Asik on Hawes outside.

Our defense last year looks better than this year so far.

 

I wish I could send you to outer space.

Cos earth don't want yah.

 

We need stop losing the ****ing lead, plain & simple. 3 straight games we were leading coming into the 4th by a reasonable margin. Ridiculous. I want Asik gone, just a waste.

 

You cannot stop James Anderson, you can only hope to contain him before he goes back down to the D League.

 

I didn't exactly say that the Houston defense is good. I think that Houston can win these games with what the team is good at if the TOs can be limited to the level of the opponent. The Rockets are still very good at 3pt and 2+1pt plays and usually better than the opponents. There are very few centers that can shoot the 3-ball like Hawes. Dwight does not have an answer to that. Despite the spectacular scoring of Anderson, the Rockets would have won with less TOs.

 

Garcia hasn't been good for 3, 4 games? The games vs LA teams.
He is a vet so showing up would be great.

 

Obviously they were exhausted and then gassed during 4th quarter, bad rotation management by the coach

 

wow a lot of tough shots tbh....

 

Lin has already carried a huge offensive load in this game. By taking Beverley out, he would have to waste more energy to bring the ball to the front court.
Perhaps Lin and Parson should've switched their assignments.

 

You're. 2012er, u must be an loh

 

So what?? Let them talk. Lin's game is doing the talking and most posters here are taking notice. One side's gotta put down their arms as we are on the same side, believe it or not. I think it should be the Lin fans cuz once again.. Lin is doing the talking with his play. Let him.
