ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Clippers 2/13/2013

This is a team game stop saying we win or lose cuz of LIN or Harden the ROX lost not LIN we will regroup and conquer after all star

 

Really starting to think either McHale really dislikes Lin or Lin is just on the radar more because people expect him to be better than he is. He is not responding to tough love, that is for sure, but that's just something he has to deal with. I'm just wondering if McHale ever benches and yells at other players who are playing bad, because it seems to happen mostly to Lin and the rookies.

 

Without our best player playing and on back to back game vs one of the best team in the league... I'm not really not that mad because I don't expect us
winning this game tonight anyway.

 

Rockets have the right pieces but none of the brain that can utilize them. McHale is not fit to be a coach at the moment and he doesn't have room to grow. Ship his ass out.

 

dear god what in the world did McHale scold him about? looks like Lin got news that someone passed away or something. would love to hear what he said.

 

yeah his D was hard to watch also..real hard

 

I dont to sympathize with people saying extreme bias against Mchale by Lin fans but even you& I gotta admit Mchale calls out Lin the most (wayyyy more than other players) and gives him the least minutes outta the starters. He also doesnt let Lin play his natural position

 

hates him. i have yet to hear one compliment from him, except that jeremy will be fine line. Unless, if someone could post a vid to prove me wrong.

 

Not a bad effort.

I like how the Rockets didn't quit after that demoralizing first quarter. They kept themselves somewhat in the game.

Lin was awful in the second half. He doesn't seem to play well in back to backs. You can see how tired he gets...just doesn't have the same hop and speed. In the 2nd half, he'll drive every few possessions but he was stationery a lot.

He needs to work on his conditioning or learn to pace himself when he knows there's a back to back. But unlike a lot of people, I still like what I saw from him. None of his flaws seem like the kind you can't work on and fix.

D-Mo! One bright spot of this game. He definitely showed some moves and he'll be in the rotation one day. That screen and cut to the basket with the right hook finish was pretty.

 

Parsons and Morris's D was terrible (close to 40 against both)

Lins D in the 2Half was bad

Lin and Parsons feed the team 8 WIDE OPEN 3s that were missed

Most of the 3Q was PNR Parsons

Bev is G.Smith on Defense(Foul EVERYTHING)

Lin and DMo PNR looked good for about 3 min.

TO MUCH ISO, ONLY 17 AST(LIn, Parsons with 11AST)

 

Yeah I agree..but hey..thats the story of an underdog

 

Yes, you can blame him.
Because when player are down at 3pts %, as a coach, he had to step out
to change tactics. But you know, he had no other tactics

 

This. tony parker copped it a lot worse from pop in the earlier years. Mchail does this because he knows the potential of this kid. His got the smarts and the "it" factor once he gets it together. Take it as a compliment that Mchail is putting all this energy on Lin and not other players. It's called tough love.

 

Fans around the world after tonight's game, just lost a lot of faith in Lin.

He was passive. Maybe he was hurt. He was holding that wrist all night. I felt like he didn't want to be in that game.

Dmo though needs more playing time. The guy showed in garbage minutes he can be a good backup.

 

Lin:" Coach, let me run PnR all day...just one game, one game plz."
McHale:" Me no speak no Engrish!"

:grin:

 

His drive to the rim created offense rebound for put back, so that's good. I have to dog him on the TOs tonight, however. 3 of those were high risk high reward home run pass, so I can't complain. The other 2 were bad decision which led to Sports Central highlight so no good.

 

we need a legit backup point guard and some more depth on the bench.

 

McHale scolds Lin before the Kings game or at halftime.
Lin looks depressed.
Keith Jones consoles Lin.

Would love to hear what McHale said.

 

What does that have to do with what I said?

 

McFail sucks...but that Lin facial is normal. Check out those videos after a blowout win....still looks so depressed.:grin:
