3/30 - [Game 73] Rockets v. Clippers 8:00 EST 

Post#1 » by TMACFORMVP » Sat Mar 30, 2013 11:17 pm

Gonna change it up a bit...because it doesn't matter.

No Harden today. Missed the last one versus Clips too, maybe he afraid? Wish he was more afraid of the Pacers/Grizz and played today...

Anyways...Anderson and GREG SMITH getting the start at the 4. It doesn't really matter...even if DMO had started, he would have picked up 2 fouls within the first minute.

Linsanity strikes after couple porous games. Smith dunks harder than Griffin. Hack-A-Jordan.

Win.

smith starting cuz "D-Mo has 2 fouls before he can break a sweat" :lol:

Jason Friedman @JasonCFriedman
Mchale says James Anderson will start for Harden (out with ankle). Also: Greg Smith to start at 4 tonight to better match up w/ Griffin.

I fully expect a loss unless Lin and parsons both go for 30 plus

I'm gonna be rooting for Portland Brooklyn and Sacramento more than expecting a win

Sucks Dallas already won in a super close game :(

I saw the Mavs game. They were down 12 w/ 3 mins left, and Dirk took over. Like the last 15 points, including 8 in the final minute and the GW three.

Don't matter. This is a win.... ;)

id rather miss the playoffs than have Harden injured... or get a really bad injury...

he is the future of this team...

as for Linsanity... I really do not want to see lin take that many shots...

granted it will limit his turnovers...

but my biggest complaint this year is I wanted to see Lin create with the ball.. have the ball more in his hands... but create easy shots for Harden....and others

anyone who thinks LOFs are happy Lin will have free reign to create with Harden out this game...... I think most LOFS...

envisioned Lin breaking down the defence.. and passing the ball to a efficient Harden for the basket at the start of the year...

Interesting shakeup of the roster tonight! Get it done, Greg Smith!

We are playing our style...unfortunately that comes with an insane amount of turnovers sometimes too.

I thought there was no way Lin would try that pass again after what happened the first time...then he did and it was the same result. 7 TO's already...can't capitalize on our hot shooting early.

Our recovery on shooters is so bad. 5-6 on threes, pretty much wide open every time.

Clips D is good. We can't get open looks from deep.

Time for other players to step up. Parsons will have the ball in his hands more this game.
