ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 12/10/2012

Nothing wrong with learning to diversify your game.

Lin isn't going to be a scoring pg his whole career, he's gotta learn the hard way. At least this way though difficult makes him learn early in his career the kick and pop or a catch and shoot game.

 

What Sam Elliot have to say now about Linsanity?

 

The Rockets sure are teasing us the last 2 games, 10 point or whatever leads in the 4th quarter, only to lose.

 

Dont be mad, bro. We are all lin fans, a perfect game should be lin finish that last shot and win the game. But this is the best game lin played this season, no doubt. Be careful of LOH, they are waitting to attack us. Alex is definitly our friend.

TD also had a best game this season. I like TD personally, but he never played this good before in kinicks' uniform.

Asik played well tonight, actually this season except last two games, he still has lots of room to improve.

I like harden, he is best player in this team, but Harden need to change his game a bit to make everyone involved like lin did, sometimes when harden is on court, everyone stayed and watched him play, ISO dont win game. Even Melo started change a bit now.

This is the way lin should play, dont know why he defer so much this season, he needs his confidence back , hopefully from this game. Maybe both coaches did not trust lin enough, they need to change too.

It should be a winnable game, but dont underestimate any team, they beat Miami heats last week. I am still looking forwards of another win game.

they're mixed in multiple threads - you could just go to front page of /r/nba

 

Actually, it might be better for now -- Linsanity without all those Hypes.

 

Maybe somebody can upload the lowlights where Lin sat for 4 minutes in that key stretch in the middle of the 4th quarter where the Rockets were on pace for an 8-point quarter and the Spurs were on pace for a 40-point quarter that lost us the game. This is why we need Harden back. Harden would have had the stamina to play the entire 4th quarter and won the game for us.

 

Miracle almost happened.

 

Guess you didn't see the dallas game? Harden was gassed out in the 4th as well... the coaching staff just needs to manage our players minutes well...

 

Lin matched his career high of 38 pts. Asik scored a new career high at 21, plus 10 rebounds to net his tenth double-double this season.

The Rockets almost won the game against the best team (17-4) in the league and had forced them to an overtime. What a difference from just three days ago.

This is a young team that is willing to and capable of learning from mistakes, like any new borns. Give them time to grow and good coaching. We will see them making splashes in the playoffs.

 

Listen to what Tony Parker had said just before the match about Lin. It was noble of him to say that with time Lin would up his shooting and become as good as he is.

My hat off to Tony.

 

It's true. Beautiful people think similarly. I'm talking about those of us who compared Lin with Parker. Yes, you're beautiful too like Tony Parker.

 

Rockets is already leading the league in pace and points scored, but they were also giving up almost 104 points per game.

To see them in the playoff, The next crucial area to improve is their team defense, and it is the responsibility of the coaches.

 

Harden's top priority should be finding ways to make his current teammates play better and winning games.

Was he kind of stepping on the toes of Morey and McHale when he said he had started to recruit other players?

 

"THE DUDE ABIDES"

 

Hopefully those guys can learn from this one and win some close games next time.

 

Parker didn't say that Lin would be as good he is, but he did say that it's very likely that Lin will improve as a player.
