ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 3/6/2013

How many times do I have to see McHale pretending to draw a play, with a drawing board in hand, and came out with a Harden ISO! Why not use the board to smack yourself in the head, McHale?!

 

There's a time and place for small ball, and the Rockets get it right sometimes but also seem to get it wrong mostly near the end of regulation. That could be a reason why the Rockets aren't as good at winning close games, from my perspective. But i could be wrong also. This team is young. I thought the game was played well for the most part though.

 

The last 3 minutes was stupid.

players didn't know what to do.


THAT'S WHY YOU PLAY YOUR STARTERS!!!

 

Bang!!

 

Based on our stats yes, we need some to be able to generate some stops. We scored slightly higher than our season average so offense wasn't the issue.

 

lol no. ISO plays, ****ty substitutions, & lack of defense lost us the game.

 

anyone who says they prefer beverly to close out a game instead of jeremy loves losing more than winning.

 

This is all McHale's fault. 0 minutes? Really?? 0 minutes for Aaron Brooks?

 

refs was generous enough in last few minutes, a lot call give to Harden, hardly any basket made. You just cannot expect refs call it every damn ISO drive.

 

looool

 

harden needs to learn to play defense. I mean I don't really think it was a major factor but one possession that he did not rotate gave Mayo a wide open look an dit just made me mad lol.

 

Have you ever watched the Spurs play? You don't need to play like the Lakers/Kobe.

 

he is the most unselfish player. Like calvin murphy says, it's the guys at top that are making him play like that, the guys that fear democratic ball for whatever reason.

 

with harden is on bench.

 

Clutch basketball implied we won the game. Bev and trob were good until about 4-5 mins they did their job the starters NEED TO COME BACK at that point. McFail again. How many games do we need to lose in this fashion?

 

Or defense?

 

McHale: "Beverley brought a lot of energy... Lin will be fine..."

 

No minutes for Timmy O? FIRE MCHALE!!!

 

All I have to say is that a coach should not bench the starting PG during 4th quarter of an important game UNLESS the starting PG is really hurt and cannot play OR the starting PG is really stinking it up badly. Rockets should just start Bev and then use Lin as a back-up IF they do not have confidence in Lin. Bev should not be blamed for the last foul, but really, Mac has to put some confidence in Lin.

 

harden was fouled twice in the last minute on 2 possessions

lin 3 should have counted
