ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 2/20/2014

2nd game of a b2b on the road with overtime......I guess it's not so bad.

Howard had trouble against O'neil's fat ass body the same as he has trouble with Cousins.

Officiating was bad

Oneil punked parsons - with the charge and the block...........

Lucky bank shots by GSW

 

By Iggy.

 

3 alphas. Parsons is above him in the pecking order. He missed twice as many shots tonight than Lin attempted all game.

 

Covington > Casspii

 

lin was defended by iggy btw, and wtf @ that statement. Curry is no lockdown defender but hes not a liability either.

 

Who the hell doyou think kept us in the game the 1st half idiot?

 

O'neil, he got away with moving screens on Lin( 2 of them) There was some bad officiating tonight.

 

Something tells me Rondo wouldn't have had an easier time getting that shot up over O'Neal.

 

While Lin's game leaves much to be desired, be glad he didn't do anything worse to lose us the game. It was crunch time, you give it to the guys with the max contracts to win the game. If you're expecting more than that then you clearly put more value on him as a player. Close games, warrant the stars to do the winning more often than not. Their star ala Curry won them theirs. That's how it works.

 

Something to take away from this game is that the rockets can compete when their shots are not falling. You couldn't say that about last year's team and early this seasons. Their defense was really big for them when they needed to get back in the game. They still have a chance to win even if Howard has his rare duds of a game. How many times will Howard be regulated to that kind of performance?

Harden was relentless in the second half, something he should have been the whole game. But he stepped up when we were down and absolutely needed him to. And don't forget that key strip he had on Lee before he hit the go ahead bucket. He was great defensively for the most part. I hope his elbow is alright with rest.

This was a tough loss but sometimes a team grows more after a tough loss than a large winning streak. And that's what the regular season is about for these Rockets, to learn now so they can be better in the playoffs.

 

And I have anouther broken iphone screen, F U jermaine

 

If there's ever a good loss, this was it.

Had to play D to stay in it and fight through missing so many shots.
Previously, we would've folded..but we grinded it out tonight.

We will need that toughness in the playoffs, great loss. Good learning experience.

 

Parsons 8-24 tonight,DMo needs more PT.

 

Lin has been clutch for us this season

Lin can't take A.I off the dribble

Should have took bev out and brought in Motie in overtime

Curry was scoring easily on bev

We needed Lin on curry to foul him out

 

Lin was losing his dribble tonight against Steve Blake of all people. Maybe too much partying in his hometown affected his play tonight.

 

Rondo would have a field night on our team against Golden State but it's not going to happen.

 

are u serious. We get blown out with Rondo in and Parsons out.......

 

Where do i even start

 

I like how the LOH are blaming the loss on Lin and say he doesn't want the ball.. are you kidding me? We got Harden/Dwight/Parsons on the team that take all the shots already and Lin doesn't have the role of a PG in this team because we rely the offense around harden and howard. When we had Tmac and Yao, Rafer was a non-factor in the team because our offense relied on either getting the ball to tmac and let him make plays or to yao in the paint. It's the same thing now.
