ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 1/28/2014

*era*

 

Will be watching in El Paso around many Spurs fans.

We've played SA well, but I never have faith going against Popovich and Co.

 

Exactly. Who the hell knows tonight.

 

Playoff contenders are different from nba title contenders

Does that mean Lin is starting? The Linyoyo season continues...

 

Wow... these injuries are getting ridiculous

 

OK.

A) not good
B) I assume this means Lin starts at SG? He keeps trying to get settled on the bench, and they keep yanking him back...

 

I feel more excited last year even when we win less games. The brand of basketball somehow was not delivered the same this year when it should be even more exciting.

 

The Spur-Killer is out??????????


Welp...that's not good...

 

James Harden out lol we might lose 4 if we dont win tonight cause we aint winning in Dallas

 

Talk about Linconsistency lmao.

 

Harden went through shootaround, chatted about playing SA, but did not do his usual long shooting session after. Was hurt at Memphis on Sat.

Per Feigen, Harden originally hurt his thumb on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzies.

Harden is averaging 23.7 points, 5.5 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game this season. The Rockets are 4-2 this season when Harden doesn’t play.

 

Terrific

 

Damn no Harden? Well they are missing some players as well. Lets see how this game plays out...

Spoiler

In before Lin has a great game and Lin fans demand harden gets traded and claim the rise of linsanity. (happened last year too right? Lin played great in the loss without Harden)

 

Sigh.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>With Harden out, best guess is that Jeremy Lin will start. Has started with Harden out before. Also few options with most of bench out, too.</p>&mdash; Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen/statuses/428284722586730497">January 28, 2014</a></blockquote>
