ClutchFans Game Thread: Clippers @ Rockets 1/15/2013

LOF fans are just as bad if not worse. It's hilarious how people only see one side of the equation. If his signing hadn't brought a legion of idiots to the board the discussions would be much more civil.

 

hey King1 where's my LOF list???I've been waiting for them....

 

Didn't recall you asking. Plus, I don't think you need a list to know who they are. Pretty much every 2012 date is either a LOF or LOH. It's just ridiculous trolling on both sides. That's why vets have joined in. The GARM has went to complete **** and we actually have a good young team. Oh well, it is what it is.

 

I didn't watch the game, but from looking at the box score, it seems like Harden contributed heavily to the loss tonight. 23 points from 8 to 20, and 5 turnovers. Parsons had almost the same points with 7 from 10

 

I don't know about your last sentence, but TD and JL have synergy when they're in at the same time. Wonder what those stats are.

 

check page 73 or 74....I'm just curious because most of the post I read from Lin fans ( me included ) are constructive....there are some arguments but that is what this forum is all about..discussions about our players and the team...and fans of JLin are simply loyal to him...labeling them as if they were an outcast and swearing at them are things that make us Lin fans a little bit offensive...

So now you really can't pin point those you called LOF's because in reality there were NONE..We came here because of JLIN but we supports the team in general..we tried to embrace Harden even though he diminishes JLin's role in the team...we never bash and resort to name-calling @ Asik even though he always fumbles the ball...we never bashes Morris and PPat...

If you really is reading and comprehending the post that we JLin fans are posting you'll understand that we never bash, we make constructive insights but never did we call any of our players and their fans anything...

have a good day...

 

Well, you're not helping when you all your posts are Lin related, and are normally some sort of LOF bait.

If you talk more about the whole rox team, you'll have better discussions. Be the change you want in the GARM, and not some self-assigned LOF eliminator.

 

He doesn't post in these threads when Lin does well. But who cares really? We all want the team to do well and King feels that the PG position is not the strongest and could use an upgrade...Although I will say, calling people an idiot who love Lin is just as bad, they are entitled to their opinion too.


$.02

 

Nah, James did the best he could. Everyone tried. Good experience, these tough games, and they'll get better.

 

You need to have patience. OKC had those same problems early in their incubation. KD would get pushed around a lot and the team played little defense.

This is the youngest team in the league and they have holes. They also have $15 million in cap space to play with this offseason and a franchise player to build around.

Good problems to have after one HUGE offseason that turn us from mediocre with no one to build around to up and coming playoff contender.

 

Response

I disagree. Rockets cannot hang with Clippers for 4 quarters. Rockets can only hang with them if they are playing well for the entire 4 quarters, which is not easy to do.

 

Yeah I don't really care either, everyone is entitled to an opinion. But it's definitely annoying coming to these game threads after a game to discuss the rox when every other time there's some pointless Lin debate going on and dominating all the other team/player discussions.

I just wanted to point out to King1 that he's probably making it worse than better, but yeah, your right, who cares.

 

King1 doesn't bug me anymore since, like a lot of other folks, I have him on Ignore. But it is all the people who respond to his trolling that really mess up the threads.

If you choose to have a discussion with King1, by all means go ahead. But if you are just going to be riled up and complain about his trolling, then take 30 seconds to go up to your User CP and update your Ignore list.

 

The Rockets lack a lot of things, and Morey and McHale know that. The team we have now is probably nothing close to what it will end up being after more trades and free agent signings. I'm not worried about playoffs this year, who cares really, this isn't the team that we will have when we are finally a contender again. Right now our team is nothing more than bits and pieces of assets that will eventually become a contender. We just have to be patient for a year or two and let Morey and McHale build the team.

Right now we don't have an experienced low post threat. We don't have a lot of players known for playing defense. So, we run and gun and hope to out shoot the other team. As we add new players with with more experience and skill, we should be a more complete team on both ends of the court. It just takes time.

 

Did anyone notice commentators saying Clips are so deep only two players - Chris Paul and Blake Griffin -- play over 30 minutes a game, something like 33 and 31 minutes. That team is deep.

 

When will Harden check out on this team? He isn't used to losing like this.

 

I've noticed that too.

 

He checked out on D last night.

 

LOL Harden is fine. He is getting paid & he is going to the All Star Games.

 

What? You just assume he would do that? How about Jeremy Lin, or Chandler Parsons, or Asik? Do you think they are going to "check out" also. The Rockets aren't the Charlotte Bobcats, or the Washington Wizards, or Sacramento Kings. The Rockets are in the process of doing a very quick rebuild. I think Harden can see that within the next couple of years the Rockets should be a contender again. I don't see Harden, Lin, Parsons, or any of our players "checking out" any time in the future. All these guys are young and hungry.
