ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 1/30/2013

4th quarter
11:11
James Harden enters the game for Carlos Delfino
86-87

I don't think Harden was subbed out at all after that.

 

Dead on.

 

Exactly, if he wants to limit Lin's minutes that bad - for whatever reason - at least put Beverly in who is more of a point guard and can actually play pretty well.

 

i dont like to put the blame on coach usually, but McHale screwed rox. at the end of 3, george carl saw koufos is no good; so he put faried on 5 against tired asik to exploit it. also add wilson chandler to abuse soft 4 of rox.

parsons tire out, went out of order, mchale sit lin too much and thats why gallinari went red hot on parsons. harden might stepped up at those moments but he is just not that superstar yet to turn the tide. morale of team went down, delfino lost his shooting and this couldnt be recovered until 7:00 left on clock.

thats how we lost. karl>mchale obviously.

 

I don't think you watched the same game is me. I thought they should have won this.

 

Lin was flying out there no one can catch him.
It was like he was on the knicks again.

 

Big FU game from Lin when he got back in the game - called his own number again and again and torched DEN's defense - got half his points in about 8 minutes.

@MichaelVPina Pretty much every night. Rockets' D is basically bottom-5 bad when he's (Asik) off the floor this yr.

 

Right, we had lost the lead by the time he came back in. Anyway, nothing made a difference after that. Gallo got hot, and we sucked.

 

6 more turnovers for James "The Turnover Machine" Harden tonight.

Wonder how many more he needs to set the all-time NBA single season record?

 

And I think about 3-4 assists in that time too.

 

Speaking of Gallinari/ might have to get him on my fantasy team!

 

Don't agree here.

TOs while making risky passes is one thing...Because if the pass is made it has a chance to convert.

TOs while tripping over your feet or losing your handles and get cherry picked, is all bad...Because those are preventable and have no chance to convert into points.

 

ll some plays fofr a open 3 for gods sake

 

I seriously think that Mcfail hates Lin because he proved him wrong multiple times. If this coach is not fired, there is no hope for Linsanity 2.0, no future for the Rockets. If the management team wants to keep Mcfail, they should trade Lin to another team where he would be allowed to shine again!

 

Even though Jlin beasted the last quarter, he still made that dumb holding foul which put the Rockets over, and then he missed those 2 crucial freethrows whiles Lawson hits them.

Asik missed that monster dunk.

Harden, the franchise player, with the 3 missed layups and the offensive interference by Asik, AGAIN, at the end just made the loss even more humiliating.

 

Now that you say it, you might be right. said FU to mchale and said he's going to do it his way....

 

This is the problem I keep talking about. McFail failed to put common sense into Harden's brain, teach him to be patient with his game, play with the flow. And Harden's TOs are the worst kind of, because it kills momentum, and easy basketballs for the other team. Not all the TOs impact the game equally.

 

No, you're an idiot. You just insulted a fellow Lin fan who was being sarcastic.

 

We are one allstar away from being a legit team.
