ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/9/2012

*cough* Jones! *cough*

 

He looks a lot more muscular than last year, even if he lost weight don't seem to be loss of muscle. I do think with his knee injury that he lost some of his speed and explosiveness, hopefully after playing a while he will get that back.

 

Even it's FAT, I meant ALL fat...it does help out his finishing ability. I don't know how to explain it but FAT is sth like this for the "outta control" Lin...

 

Isn't he making $8,333,333 per year as a Rocket, but would have been making $5 million, $5 million, then a balloon payment of 38 gajillion if NY had matched, hence the reason they ostensibly did not match?

 

No one is blaming him for Lin's play and Lin played a lot better than him in this game. We're blaming how the coach is using the players. Harden's poor play is a big contribution to the loss though.

 

YUou need to read maximas post.

 

When you lost your fat, your muscles would have showed up. Plain and simple. Again, fat really helps sometimes imo.

 

I did. He's talking about how it's becoming more iso ball and not team ball. That has a lot to do with the coaching.

 

Denver's blowing out the Jazz, who are expected to make the playoffs this year. We just played Denver and were close in the final moments of the game, even with our backcourt playing like ish that game. Just some perspective.

 

I hope **** hits the fan in Sacramento, and Morey's able to finagle some sort of Lin-for-Cousins blockbuster.

 

So lin missing shots and sucking on defense is the coaches fault to...

 

Woah it's concerning what's happened to harden. Were the first 2 games a mirage and he's not really a max player? Worried he may be ruining linsanity right now. Lin is playing a lot better than harden at the moment.

 

Oh, come on. Stop acting like everything is Lins fault. Harden was 4-18 with 5 T.Os. It also doesn't help when your PF is scared to go inside the paint and misses wide open shots.

 

Props to our overall defense.

 

Yeah we haven't been blown out that is the only positive. We had chances to win late. Unfortunately though we just aren't good enough to get over the hump yet at least against good teams.

 

Beardsanity vs. Linsanity starts here...:grin::grin::grin:...

 

Go see the harden thread. I blamed him as the biggest culprit for this mess.He has the ball majority of the time and he sets the tempo. His turnover to assist ratio is on par with eachother which is farsical at this leel.

 

Whatever, you don't like Lin, no reason to discuss anymore with you.

 

In order for your body to take and give back force, it needs to be in sync, not just heavier. It's much more important for him to have good stability and mechanics, than 10 more pounds. 10 pounds just isn't significant enough in this case.

 

Thats bull. I even started a thread praising him when he was playing with some vigiour and aggressivness.
