Exactly, I don't think half of cluthfan knows anything about basketball but just think it's like NBA 2k14 or whatever game they played in their grandma's basement.
1. We gotta get healthy and get the rotation back in order. 2. Move Asik or he comes back to play and help the team 3. Move DMo for more depth (wing) 4. Get D Howard more consistent touches After these 4 things happen we will be back on track.
I think the criticism meant that before he caught the ball, he should be aware of where the line was.
This team ... smh. Only showed up defensively in the last 4 minutes of the game. Maybe Im being overly critical of them because it's the team I follow the closest, but damn near half way in the season and they have no identity. Last year they were the young ones who, although sucked at defense, loved to run, got tons of quick transition buckets and killed it from the 3 (like this year's SUNS) This year, they've somehow regressed defensively, suck at 3s now, still dont run PnRs and rarely get easy transition shots. So what else do they have? I just see a bunch of forced ISOs after they fail to get Dwight the ball in the post. Its painful to watch. So many wins have come from James thankfully turning into superman and going nuts in the 4th. He cant do that every night. Have the Rockets had any solid blowout wins this season? I think just *once*, remember how many 20+ wins they got last year? I see other teams getting into the flow of things but no real growth from the Rockets. Their record is not bad, but we know they have the talent to be much better.
Hawks won over Indana the other night. Knicks won over Heat. Nets won over Warriors. What did it tell you?
Yes, he should make a three and get fouled, and get a steal because he left few seconds for the hawks.
That same team went 24-16 in last 40 games to make playoffs...injuries are apart if the game so stop playing that tired ass song!!! How many blowouts do this team have this year compared to last years team ?? Delfino-Morris-Douglas-Aldrich-Smith Trumps Garcia-Casspi-Brewer-Motiejunas
Nope. Unlike the original poser, I'm basing it on numbers and situation. Jeremy Lin (playing bench part time or GP 1/4 of the time): 14.1 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 4.2 APG, 05. BS, 1 ST, EFF 12.80 Jeff Teague (full starter, PG 100% of the time): 16.8 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 7.9 APG, .2 BS, 1.3 ST, EFF 10.77 Only a blind person will equate the above to Teague >>Lin....
This is yet another game where Harden and Howard show up and literally no one else does. I understand that Parsons and Beverly are out and Asik is a p***y, but the rest of the roster is just garbage. This game reminded me of the Yao/TMac teams that lacked any bench help. Omri is fine as an end of the bench guy, not a heavy rotation guy. Garcia needs to just retire and Brooks shouldn't be in the game in meaningful minutes. Greg Smith is a zero, literally. I have to think Morey is looking for depth.
I think it's because of Howard and how the overall schemes have changed based on his presense in the lineup. This isn't a criticism (yet) of Howard and how this team is trying to adjust to fitting him into both offense and defense. Again, it's been about half a season with him in, and with a whole bunch of lineup changes due to injury and an insufficient bench. I'd like to give the team more time. I'm critical of coaching up to a point, and I'd like to see what they do when the team is fully healthy.
