ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 2/26/2014

Point is he is only playing 18 minutes some of you talk like he is playing over 30 minutes a game.

Biggest problem tonight was James Harden but osmehow the fanbase is too busy arguing about Lin and Bev to realize it.

Actually throw Parsons in as to who was more of a problem then those two tonight.

 

NOPe he has been a part of the closing line up all season how does that make me a LOF cuz McHale decided to change the lineup the last 3 games

 

Same feeling here. We simply have too much negative here.

 

chandler parsons is 5th in mpg, harden 2nd

it makes sense that they dont play well vs the clippers on the end of a long road trip.

 

Probably just tired. We won easy last night, but it's still a back to back and the 5th game in the road trip. Sucks we couldn't have played this team to start the trip

 

would have probably won the game if they didnt miss so many shots at the basket.

 

This loss really shouldn't change anything for you guys. The Clippers are just and awful matchup, just like the Spurs are for us. The reasons are many, but among them are

1) you guys turn the ball over a lot and the Clippers capitalize on that better than most teams.

2) your offense is driven by threes and Clippers defend that better than most teams.

3) clipps can guard howard straight up, eliminating the kickout option.

4) no one on your team can check griffin.

Etc. it's just about matchups. For both of these teams to go deep, we need to avoid the bad matchups

 

Maybe, but more than likely playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and it being the last game of a long road trip, they just had a letdown. It happens. The key is to bounce back like they normally do when Detroit comes to town.

 

Look at the bright side. Jordan Hamilton is productive for us.

 

Ummm no, biggest problem was Jones getting destroyed by Griffin.

 

There is an ignore button you can use if opposing viewpoints are that offensive.

 

the Suns are falling like rocks now and we barely beat them

 

No. He won't. He simply does not fit into Mchale's system... Lin is useful on this team for two purpose: 1. Pushing the pace. 2. PnR. We are not doing 2 and Clipper is actually good at defending 1.

It has nothing to do with how many minutes he has.

 

Too soon to be certain. I'm a bit skeptic after Garcia breaking everyone's hopes.

 

Asik did pretty good job on Blake.
You forgot to add 5) McHale gets out-coached once again.

 

Those same Suns recently destroyed the Spurs by 21 points. Does that mean San Antonio sucks? I don't think so.

 

they double Harden ..parsons is playing like cr-p and u have Bev there who do u pass to oh TO

 

lol The guy who has 24 posts since 2010 has had enough.

 

Emotions are high right now, and maybe rightfully so. This was our first TRUE test of 2014 and.....well, I'm glad we were at least competitive through most of the game this time, definitely an improvement but also disappointing seeing how easily they seemed to shut us down at the end. When Parsons is off and Lin is not on the floor to close, we have one....ONE option - Harden as they will just foul Dwight. Too easy to shut down come playoff time. Just worried.

 

Yeah except someone will quote you so it doesn't work.

(Dude just doesn't get the hint)
