ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 10/28/2014

The better question is how did the players still on our team fail to do any improving themselves?

It's the same thing when they talk about other teams improving and that all we did is subtract.

Other teams young guys certainly got better, but ours somehow didn't?

 

Klay had been shooting lights out in pre-season games i watched.

 

I said this in the ESPN threads, Warriors and the Splash Brothers are the most overrated in the NBA. They get tons of love and have done nothing of note.

 

we win by 20+ easily

 

3 more hours!!! ahhhhh I can't wait.

 

Refs was be very biased toward Kobe and the lakers being his "comeback" game and all. Dwight will be in foul trouble early and Kobe will get 16 Fts

 

Heh, yeah and they have a new coach that's unproven. Mark Jackson was the only guy to take that team to the playoffs in a while.

Okay...so Harden didn't improve?

I don't really understand this sudden love for players we had last year. When we had them last year to the media and to guys like Charles they were nothing but role players.

Now all of a sudden guys like Lin and Parsons are key players that just can't be replaced.

Hey, I think we'll miss Asik to some point. Asik was a real key player and hard to replace. But Lin certainly is replaceable, and that's not to say he's a bad player same for Parsons...just that they are not these players that can't be replaced.

It's whatever. I think Harden playing better and Dwight looking more bouncy will be key to this team. Also that we have more of a unit, I think Parsons will help Dallas out but I think having Him and Harden and Lin hwe had too many ballhandlers (Parsons THOUGHT he could handle) and we saw a lot of stagnant offense. I expect to see a better team this season, even if it is marginally so. I also think we are playing better guys off the bench this year, but we'll see. For instance I think Papa is MUCH better than Cassipi and that our young guys are not so young and more like veterans and that will count a lot more than people think.

 

Brace yourselves for the incoming knee jerks regardless of who wins the opener.

 

Dwight Howard vs Sacre....... this is gonna be fun rofl. If Dwight doesn't drop at least 20 on Sacre let's trade him

 

watching Mav vs Spurs. Parsons is so goooood!!!

 

is any1 else stoked to see Jones vs Randle?

 

Trap game of all trap games...nervous about this one...

 

Ugh I'm not, I have a feeling Jones is gonna get manhandled.

 

nope

Harden vs Kobe n Dwight dominating

 

There's enough star power and old teammates on the court for it not be a trap game. Not to mention the hype for the first game of the season.

Omer Asik got 10pts 9 rebounds for the 1st quarter.

 

I expecr this to be a close game due to the fact Mcfail is on the bench.

Are we really going to go through another year of McHale sucks, McFail, etc? It gets old after a while.
