ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 12/25/2013

he has free pass on this forum. Just ignore him manually.

 

They did struggle, but that is the part of the game that is clear before the game begins. The Second unit does not have a center and not even have a big man. They can't deal with the rebounds in either end of the floor.

This is simply going to repeat itself until Asik or Smith return or Asik is traded for a backup center.

 

LOL

 

I just realized. With Lin starting, Parson handled the ball less and was making more threes.

 

Great game Rockets. Wire-to-wire victory tonight on national TV.

Spurs are 6-7 against teams above .500.

 

Thank you!

 

You got to love the brotherhood this team. Everybody loves each other.Maybe Asik is the exception, but we're getting back to the chemistry we had last season.

 

Big fan of Dwight now.

Guy is simple and kind to his teammates.

No wonder he couldn;t thrive in Lakers.

 

We are 2 of those loses.

 

I predict Lin will come off the bench when Beverly returns. Harden's isos and Howard's post ups create a sticky situation and does not go well with Jeremy's game. However, the second unit plays more team basketball with a lot if ball movement, which is more conducive to Lin's style.

 

I think beverly is a more selfish defender, if there is such a term. I believe this is actually a good thing for most point guards. Jeremy loses focus of his man off the ball and always tries to help on d. I feel that a large majority of lins defects on defense comes from consistently putting himself in bad defensive position because his mind is elsewhere. I liken him to a cornerback who has a free safety mentality. He needs to go one or two games where he just focuses on staying with his man no matter what and i am positive we will see a difference. Hes certainly got the speed for it.

 

Someone did an interview about being on the lakers and he said it was like an office job. Everybody just comes in, works, and leaves. There is no love amongst teammates and eveyrbody but Kobe is always worried about their job security.

 

This was a sexy win. The end. :grin:

 

Really proud of T-Jones; 21 and 14 tonight for him. One of the steals of the draft IMO

 

What really matter is Ls and Ws. Small samples, but Lin as the starter has the higher winning percentage than Beverley (not by much though). However, the four games that both Lin and Bev have started all equated to Ws.:grin:

Bev with Howard, Jones, Parsons, Harden: 9-4
Lin with Howard, Jones, Parsons, Harden: 1-0
Lin and Bev with other cast members: 4-0

 

It's pretty much a guarantee, unless the team goes undefeated until his return.

 

This team is without a doubt better when Lin starts, without a doubt. This without a doubt opinion isn't based on this one game, but from painfully watching Bev start this season.

Today was a great win, I was really impressed with Jones, and how Harden performed even though it's obvious that he isn't 100%. The whole starting line up had great games.

 

Kinda frustrate D-mo wasnt played when Dwight was benched for foul trouble in 3rd quater.

 

ok, mchale became kubiak. battlefightin' and schit!
fire his ass

 

If Bev goes back in the starting line up when he returns, Mchale should be fired. I want the Rockets to continue to win and it's to hard to keep up the flow of the game the way Bev plays. The Rockets need to be able to run and push the ball to be at their best.
