ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Hawks 1/10/2014

Too many injuries to key players. Need to trade Asik for a bench.

 

This has been a problem for a while now.

 

Anyone saying Lin playing bad D needs to get their eyes checked. I expect Brewer to be invisible offensively, but Jones needs to step up.:grin:

 

lol smh at that poster. thats some low bball iq right there

 

This^ I would love to have Dunleavy and a Back Up Center but you already know this.

 

You guys falling for Atlanta's homer announcers. Lin played excellent defense on Teague.

 

What were the bad plays?
Two turnovers, what else?

 

Because he is a LOH and all he did was licking Harden’s ass.

 

We played average ball and we are leading on the road against a tough team without arguably our best player. Let's get this w and move on

 

Picking up the dribble.
Again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.

 

hey don't blame the coaches for not having defensive schemes, according to them, defense is all on the players.=/

 

Lin is playing extremely passive tonight. Bad news with Parsons out and TJ getting abused.

 

You know I said the same thing as you up until last game.

This stretch, however, is chock full of cupcakes. Atlanta doesn't have Horford. We got out to a 9-0 start on them. How is it that we only have 41 points and are up by only 2 at the half?

I said the same thing in the NYK game and then Harden decided to dominate the 3rd quarter by himself. That has nothing to do with coaching. Right now our offensive sets are predictable, our stupid plays are mindnumbing. This goes beyond being a young team. This is an UNDISCIPLINED team right now. We look like the Texans out there. We have double the talent of these teams we're playing now, and still we go neck and neck. It's just stupid.

 

Bench needs 1-2 more reliable shooters

 

whens the last time a good solid pick from dwight was set for lin. lins not a dude who can consistently create shots for himself or teammates by straight isolation. he strives off of pick n rolls but he doesnt do it often and when he does he picks up his dribble... wtf?

 

I think Lin should start but I agree with your post.
I think Mchale should have started Casspi at the sf with Parsons out.

 

And how many times has it been this year where you saw two Rockets go up for a rebound, with NO opponents nearby, then fumble it away either out of bounds or back to one of the guys from the other team? It happens all the time, at least once every other game.

These plays cannot happen, do not happen on a well coached team. I can't remember another squad that played so much worse than its talent level.

 

Looks like Jones is scared of getting contact at the rim. Either go up strong or draw the foul or both. He's doing the half hearted, acrobat, Asik style finesse layup that rolls out.

 

in that case, i've been schooling people all year, where's my scholarship?

 

Need a new coaching staff, gotcha.

Pretty sure 99% of the forum already know this lol, but yeah I feel ya bud.
