ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Spurs 10/24/2013 (PRESEASON)

same offense as last year, and Howard/harden only ran 2 p&rs

 

Rockets should be blowing them out right now. Lin and Harden missing shots that they usually make.

 

I could see it.

Rockets start slow because everything is new and lineups are still being worked out.

But they progress and pick it up as the season goes on and are playing at a high level by the time the playoffs roll around, even though their record won't reflect how well they are playing at the end of the season, so they get a 5 spot.

It's very possible.

 

Haha Reggie has the Raptors making the playoffs? East must really suck.

 

I saw one steal. I also saw one where he deflected but someone else actually got in there to grab the ball. Stealing steals :grin:

Also, I'm kidding. I'm just curious about how steals get recorded when you have more than one hand in there. I also saw at least 2 assists credited to Lin when the player took a few steps before shooting...hence, I'm not sure they were really assists. Once again, also curious about how assists get recorded.

 

It's becoming clear? I'm not sure just yet.

 

Reggie doesn't know that Raptors are going to tank for Andrew Wiggins. AW has already said he wants to play in Toronto.

 

3/3 turnovers on postups to start.
hes looked good in the PnR.

 

Lin looks fine - he's playing great. Just the shots aren't falling.

Same with Harden - sometimes that shot doesn't fall.

 

This

People make way too many excuses for Lin but this excuse does not even help his case. Nobody wants a mental midget on their team.

 

Nawh I like Lin, just saying that kind of stuff can get to you, your spot on the line after you played good the first 3 games and the media asking you questions after every practice about Beverley etc. he still needs to step up not giving him a pass... But he worked on what he needed to and lost his spot so now he trying to be perfect

 

It becomes clear that if beverly starts, he would likely be fouled out pretty early.

 

Lol at Toronto making the playoffs, Detroit and Washington are far better than Toronto and Milwaukee is debatably better

 

Yes

 

Howard needs more PnR, I think he scored on all of those chances this game

 

this. he's aggressive style on defense causes those fouls.

 

I think we go 82-0 this year & win the next 10 straight NBA Championships...of course I think the same thing every year, but this year feels good already.

Ok maybe not 82-0...75-7 maybe?

GO ROCKETS!!!

 

This may be the first time I've heard that prediction. I don't see it... I highly doubt Rudy Gay is going to be on that roster by All-Star break.

 

Are you sure about this? If so why?

 

If he's not aggressive he's useless.
