Well you said our team has downgraded since the trade (to be honest for some reason I understood we have been in a slump since the trade). I was just saying that we struggle when we lose 3 decent shooters, and get back a player that is a rookie and a project.
Oh, okay, sorry. I'm not good with short messages, LOL. Anyways, 2pat was the best player that got traded away. Pissed me off. I would say he and Harden are the best shooters when they're open. But, since Harden is rarely open, 2pat is the second best shooter amongst them. Why they hell would you get rid of a reliable scorer like that?
if you say no and i did anyway, would you bother to hate me? i'll make sure your message lives on, dear sir..
A lotta members on here hate on Asik because of his stone hands and his unwillingness to dunk the ball but I think they take him for granted. Without him the Rockets probably give up 130 points a night!
Promising 2nd start for Donuts, but he blew his PnR coverage way too many times. He also seems to have issues when he has to switch to a guard on defense.
Umm, care to prove me wrong? Although I shouldn't be surprised the touchy Lin fan base would take it that way my original comment was not a knock on Lin, only a commentary on the rest of the roster.
So getting 11 points and 5 assists in 24 minutes of playing time is a terrible performance now? Some of you guys are unbelievable.
teebone21 Member Since: Dec 2011 (1 yr and 3 months); you are so cool man. And no, Lin did not play like crap, hater. 11 points on 6 shots (%50), 2/2 3PM-A (%100) and 5 AST in only 25 mins. You call that crap? you're obviously a hater, so therefore should not be taken seriously.
1st Q: Lin had 8pts on 2/2 shooting. 2nd Q: Lin came in with only 6mins remaining, had 3Ast. Could have more if not for the fouls on Asik who wasted the FTs. 3 Ast in 6mins, that's equivalent to 18Ast per 36mins which is huge! 3rd Q: You forgot to mention the FTs that he earned in this quarter. Lin actually took 6 shots - made 1, was fouled twice but was given only 2FTs & was denied the FTs for his 3pta. His 360deg spin for the layup was very well executed. Everyone scored in bunches & missed in bunches. Nobody in the NBA scored uniformly throughout the 4Qs in all games. Lin is no exception. To sugget Lin shouldn't allowed that to happen is just ridiculous. Didn't Hadren missed consecutive shots at certain stretches during the game too? And precisely because he was hot from behind the arc, they did not leave him open for the 3's when he did get the ball there. That's simply good shot selection. Lin ended the night with 11pts on 3/6 shooting. All this while he held Moore to 2pts on 1/3 shooting up till the end of the 3rd quarter. Moore scored 7pts in the 4th Q when he was on the bench. So overall Lin did pretty well throughout the game. He did not disappear like some made him out to be. He played good defense, shot wisely & efficiently. The team won the game tonight and that's all that matters. In fact, both Lin & Beverley played well. Actually would like to see both of them played together for certain stretches, especially in the 4th Q which could have given Harden some rest in the begining of 4th Q, instead of playing him the full quarter. Lin's defense is certainly needed & he is big enough to guard Afflalo. Harden's minutes should be reduced though. He was playing 41mins with a bumped knee. Why risk further injury which could end his season earlier? Why not played Anderson for certain stretches to relieve him? Anderson is a 40% 3pt shooter, played decent defense & is capable of making good decisions when he was on the court playing. Besides, Harden wasn't playing well in this game - 22pts on 18fga while Afflalo shot 19 pts on 14fga.
Lol, no problem. I agree that patterson was a good shooter, he had a great mid range shot and his 3-point shot was pretty consistent. My guess is Morey just wanted to improve on our rebounding, and TRob is supposed to be a great rebounder, and well we have to give in order to get. We also haven't even seen Garcia play, why hasnt he played? He seems like he could be a useful shooter
