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

Yes, Nash got a hold of Lin but don't blame this loss on the refs. FARRRRRRR FROM IT.

 

moronic line up from coach, selfish play, NBDL defense, hero ball, awful FT. Rox deserved it, but I predict they will tunnel their vision to the last play and blame Lin, then everyone else are happy and keep failing what they failed on last season's losing streak, take the money, pad some stat then walk away.

 

Which is unfortunate, because this game lies on the shoulders of Harden, Howard, Beverley, and McHale.

 

Okay I change my mind, thats complete bull****. So Bev standing there looking like he has no idea what's going on and Nash is grabbing on to Lin.

GG REFS.

 

Need another Version of this gif zoomed and in on Lin. Funny as hell!

 

Welcome to being a Houston Rockets fan. We've been getting screwed over by refs since the 2005 playoffs.

 

Come on, man. Rox missed 7 free throws in a row, plus many more. That just sucks. Without that, the game is ours.

 

That was a great play design. Gasol was also wide open underneath.

grabs in those situations happen ALL THE TIME.

It's not an excuse. It's expected to happen

 

I hope this is a wake up call. We are no longer the exciting team that set the NBA world ablaze. I don't know why we are so selfish and so self absorbed. Everyone other than Bev and Lin are trying to look for their shot instead of trying to get the open man an open look.

I don't know if anyone else is noticing but Hardens efficiency is dropping. He's looking for his shot, where last year it felt more like he did it in the flow of the game. He was so smooth before and now he just plays so selfishly. I don't know what has happened to him. The same can be said for Parson. He's trying to be the third option, but that's just not the type of player he is, I hope this is a wake up call that they need to revert back to how they were playing. I'm disappointed with this loss since I really felt we could go far, but unless we do something to correct this problem we aren't going to get home court advantage in the playoff's. This is now our 2nd loss and this 2nd loss is on a cadaver of a team. ****, why!!!

 

It was a mistake by McHale. Either sub out Howard, or rub a different inbounds play. Just really bad execution at the end. But the crap start to the game is really what needs to be fixed.

 

Sounds like the Texans.

 

Yep. But in lins defense, when he gets caught like that, there should have been some help defense. That's why we concede so many 3's. no one helps anyone out there. This crap has been going on all season.

 

This.

 

LOL, Nash just backs away like a boss. What an awful end.

 

Response

Bad coaching. Should have put in another good FT shooter.

 

It should be Lin pizz that Howard missing all those ft. LOL.

Even if Blake missed, Gasol would've got the rebound
