    To add to my post above, the Rockets need to learn how to post and re-post if necessary. The re-post is a lost art.

    On a day where bev fans and LOH's get their requested wish to basically marginalize Jeremy's playing time, The ROCKETS LOSE and the blame is still on Jeremy?

    GTFO of here...

    THANK. YOU.

    There is plenty of blame to go around. Both Lin and Beverley share in it, but the rabid LOH/LOF fascination with placing 100% of the blame on either one or the other is so so so so so so pathetic. Over it.

    Liking Beverley means I want Lin's playing time diminished, or for him to be marginalized? News to me.

    Welcome to the GARM, haven't you been here before? Also, if you want Lin to be traded you're a racist.

    It was simple. The clipper adjusted their defense in the 2nd half, which cut Rockets penetration and caused a lot of turnovers. But We didn't adjust. Lin should have pulled up for jumpers occasionally instead of driving into the crowd.

    Sigh, I hope we can get a easy win on Monday to rebound from all this.

    I keep asking this, but no one answers. Isn't Brewer supposed to be an elite perimeter defender? Is there any reason we don't give him some burn when we play these sharpshooting teams?

    bwhahahahaah nobody is answering because we don't know why Coach won't give the man some burn. You quess is as good as mines and probably everybody else.

    Yes he is an elite defender. But right now Harden and Howard is coaching this team..


    Give me a second, let me hit them jokers up on twitter and ask why they won't give Brewer any burn. LOL

    Ok, just wondering if I was missing something lol. Leaving him sitting on the bench while teams like the Clips and Lakers rain 3s just doesn't make any sense to me. If we weren't going to use him, we could have kept Camby (could maybe be helping iron out whatever's going on off the court) or Reggie (who could maybe step up if/when Garcia and Casspi are simultaneously cold). Though I suspect he might not get any minutes either. Blah.

    KlutchQT I don't know what's going on, maybe we will see some changes after the tenth game.
    But you are right if we wasnt going to play the man why did we keep him..I guess they want to pay him to be a spectator or something. Harden out there playing hurt and you still dont play him.

    Does this remind of you anything . Deja vu all over again.( Yao and Tracy being worked to death by VG).

    you know, the funny thing is the rockets were exciting... when it was just harden + lin + "a bunch of nobodies" + no expectations.

    now it's overanalysis and HIGH expectations from here to hell and back. :confused:
