we should be trapping Harden

TheNewEra · Post #4 » by **TheNewEra** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 1:37 am

29-28 Rockets after 1.

Houston has outrebounded us 12-5. We've given up 5 offensive rebounds. We need to do a much better job at closing out on their shooters. They have the fastest paced and highest scoring team in the league. Therefore, we have to be on our game defensively.

2 milestone alerts for tonight's game. Grant is playing in his 1000th career game. Crawford is 4 points away from scoring his 13,000th point.

Blake's steal and dunk from the 1st quarter. He didn't even need to dribble.

who actually thinks it was VDN call to isolate Hill down low on Lin? I reckon not, Hill probably just doing it being smart

asik is a foreign version of rodman on the board....

Wowza...this is a wild game...I was sure LAC was going to take this one by storm..

They just can't seem to take this away. We need to stop letting them get paint points...

That Griffen dunk in the 1st was so sick...I can't believe those fools didn't replay it...LP always has the home court broadcast...so instead they replayed a stupid free throw jump shot...

Griffen is dunker of the game.

Neddy · Post #15 » by **Neddy** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 1:52 am

what the hell kind of a foul call was that?

Post #16 » by **mkwest** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 1:52 am

Another damn tech?

interesting D by Morris on Griffin, don't know what's hes trying to achieve

Blake needs to have the mindset that he's the scorer out there, he could easily get 30+ tonight I feel if he just attacks, last possession perfect example
