But it was working... it's one of the more productive games Lin has had - 11 assists... sigh... we let another game slip out of our hands because of coaching/execution.
he was roasting every one even toney. You saw the last shot he missed... TD went behind the pick and he had wide open three. But Jeremy was making plays on the offensive end. Did you see the defense put on him by Batum? You leave your best players on the court in the OT. There is no other way to interpret this except Sampson, despite all Jeremy did in this game, doesn't think much of his game. PERIOD
did you watch the game? Lillard did not score all 11 of his points on Lin in the 4th quarter. I think it was 6 of the 11
Aside from knowing he made a mistake, the team probably has Lin's back. We know that Chandler would have said something for sure, him and Lin are besties.
Sampson didn't like the play where Lin drew the double team and kicked it out to Harden for the 3. The play was designed for Lin to run to the corner, but Lin didn't follow the play. Therefore, Lin got benched.
This probably will eventually make me stop watching Rockets' basketball because of stupid coaching like Sampson. How can you take Lin out or ANYONE out when they play well? This is the most stupid thing i ever seen. You're supposed to reward them for playing well. Guess what, you're also sending them a message and guess what's that going to do to their confident...way to go ****ing d******d.
why? he always looks like that though, that's his m.o. mctalky just circles around with words and gives you nothing which is clever.
I mean that's the thing, if Lin was playing like ass this would be understandable. But it was one of his best games for us so far. It just doesn't make sense.
