ClutchFans Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets 11/7/2013

that's going to be there game plan keep it close so it comes down to hack a howard ...sounds about right

 

You are so smart. Like I did not know this.

 

The line on the game is Houston -13. I cant remember EVER when the odds in playing the LAL were this.

 

I don't know why my stomach is in knots.

 

Let's pray for Dwight not to be hurt off the court...

 

I consider this game to be Dwight's moment to prove everyone wrong. RI want to see highlight youtube clips with 'Tops Drop' as the background music. No mercy for LA.

 

Good points but the problem with Howard is that he has rejected being used this way. D'Antoni wanted to use him more in PnRs at LA and that really turned off Howard. In his mind, he's some kind of great low post scorer when the reality is far different. He has never really developed his low post skills preferring instead to rely on his strength and athletic ability. While this works during the regular season by the time the playoffs roll around and the opposing team has a chance to lock down on him, I fully expect him to struggle and then it will be most interesting to see how he elevates his game in a pressure situation.

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas!! Welcome to the land where it just don't stop...

 

actually he did not rejected PNR, he rejected kobe, the one more likely to force the shot with 3 men on him rather than hit the rollman, plus Nash is old and the opponent usually rather give him the jump shot and double Dwright to make sure he cant get the easy dunk.

 

Doesn't a good pg try to set up everyone else first before he looks for his own shot?:grin:

 

Dwight says theres no pressure and this is just another game, but a guy with his personality everyone knows thats not true, he's looking to go in and thrash on every LA player

 

Howard rejected it because Kobe wouldn't pass on the PnR, so he took it on himself to demand the ball to get his touches.

 

Trunks pop tops drop, and the front end hop...

 

Game will be available on NBA website I believe.

Paint flop screens on, actin' bad on the song.

 

This might be a good game for Parsons to shoot himself out of a shooting slump. Might be a big game for him.

 

We all know what happens when The Rockets are the late game: The early game goes into overtime.

 

This time we maybe lucky then because I think Miami is going to maul the Clippers.

 

I certainly hope so too.
