    games like this would be good for the team because they would know how much work they need to do to overcome elite defenses.

    We only have 1 turnover and are not shooting the ball well at all.

    It's 3 teams I think we don't match up well with because they play fast like us but with a better bench okc, clippers & heat

    Can somebody explain how the NBA has several months to plan for the schedule and come up with dual back to backs in a non condensed 82 game season? Hmm...I wonder why there are so many non contact injuries...duh. Hang in there, go Rocketsˋˊ

    I get where you're coming from, but I'm not part of the Lin hater crowd. I want the Rockets do well, but as Clutch just posted, 2-17 or whatever in the first half of 3 games + lackluster defense + turnovers+ picking up your dribble is a problem.

    Jeremy gets a lot of criticism (and rightfully so) because it is one of his jobs as a PG to take care of the ball, keep his dribble and make smart decisions on offense. He wants to be a leader in that sense, but he's not applying it.

    Yes, Harden isn't playing well either. He's taken crappy shots, turned it over, etc. But, he is facilitating a bit more, making some good passes out of the double team. But no, this is not a memorable game for him.

    What I don't understand is how the hardcore Lin fans AUTOMATICALLY scream "And what about Harrrdddeen?" if Jeremy receives an ounce of criticism.

    Everyone is fair game.

    I'm no McFail fan, but it ain't his fault Asik, Smith, and Bev are hurt. D-Mo is way too inconsistent and Brewer doesn't have an offensive game. If we didn't have all these injuries(and pouting by Omer), we'd have a 10 or 11 man rotation.

    Bwhahaha you can't express your displeasure on the Garm without being called a fake fan. I guess all real fans don't get a little p*ssed when their favorite team is losing.

    their backcourt has 24 points in 15 shots and our backcourt has 9 points on 16 shots. That is the difference. NEED MORE FROM LIN AND Harden and limit them and we win.

    I don't know why that poster wanted a comparison. James can score everything from the FT line if he has to.

    That percentage isn't good, but it is production either way.

    I'm not the one holding Lin to delusional standards. Lin is going to get scored on. I'm not expecting him to shut out everyone like you and if he doesn't, he was killed.
