Lin, good on offense, terrible defense. harden, best player out there. brewer, excellent defense, terrible offense jones, lots of hustle, very litle else. howard, dominating, but needs the ball given to him way more. brooks, just being brooks garcia + casspi, their usual subpar selves smith, same hustle, little defense
We are three key players short, Lin is playing poorly. Hard to blame the coaching and I'm no fan of Mchale.
I legit don't think Lin went to Harvard. He has such a god damn low level of IQ he can't possibly have gone there. Having a go at Howard for not being back on that fast break that Harden disrupted in the 2nd quarter. Howard: "hey I'm going for the rebound"
A lot of people came to see Lin play only and then made whatever comments they want on Lin. They may not notice how the other Rockets are doing on court. Smh.
TONES has had some really good games for us. He is ducking this one even worst than Lin. At the end of the day, the pf spot is still the weakest link followed by of play.
Yeah.....not much respect for Lin. What's funny is that Lin made a great defensive play right after that comment.
Since when is constantly picking your dribble up effectively nullifying a possession, turnover after turnover - good offense? Oh.. He hit a couple of shots so that = good offense.
We have had some easy missed layups that either just fell out or blocked. We should have a bigger lead. The defense has been good, but we need to finish in the rim better. TJones need to step up and finish it strong. We need him to wake up in the 2nd half. Geez some of your microscopes is really focused on Lin in every game. His defense has been good so far, and the one shot he had against Lin was well contested and it was just a good shot. Brooks came in cause Mchale thought it was called the rockets way on the out of bounds play.
It's not about Lin's stats. He's had plenty of opportunity to make things happen this game. Yeah he's made a couple of decent plays but lots of bad ones as well. He's been distinctly underwhelming.
those back to back misses by jones, and they scored twice out of them. shifted the momentum towards the end. milsapp thinks he is playing against luis scola. nobody coming out to guard him after the screen.
Casspi and Garcia have been big problems... and Ronnie Brewer is an offensive zero. We knew that, but still it shows. With Bev out and Lin starting, the Rockets are sorely in need of some offensive punch off the bench.
I'm not a Lin hater but he's just not a confident player. He's had wide open 3pt shots tonite and I believe only made one. Lin is not the only one that can't shoot either, everyone except JH and Chandler cannot make shoot from outside either. If Morey can't improve this team by the trade deadline, we're not going anywhere. It's so hard to watch this team playing the Hawks tonite because they should be up by at least 15 points at half time but it's about even. If the supporting cast cannot play like they belong in the nba, then they should call up some of players from the Vipers...I'm sure they'll want to shoot the ball. Uggggg
Of course he's been underwhelming, he's playing pretty bad. All i'm saying is; that's 4 extra points we could've made if Tjones finished... and they were easy buckets.
