ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 10/15/2012 (PRESEASON)

Better rest Jeremy Lin and see what Machado/Douglas/Livingston can do. Please rest Chandler Pasons as well although he is a tough player.

 

1 - Lin had played on training camp at 2 guard position and not as PG , so he needs time to mesh with team mates on offense.

2 - Starters prefer play into ISO , don´t need much assists, they make themselves their shots.

3 - Coach´s offense is only Pick and Roll (until now), plays with the Center player, and Asik is a good passer so this will reduce Lin assists numbers.

4 - SA Spurs made 15 3-points shots 71,5% , from PF and 2 guard position, this show how our DEFENSE were awfully bad.


Machado and Tonney had played on PG in ALL training camp.

Was at least 20 scrimmages and more than 15 days.

Lin had only played on 2 guard position. He needs time now to adjust with the offense.

Tonney and Machado just played against the 2º squad rival teams.

Our bench team needs more assists than our start team.

Even Lamb or Jones dont need assists to score.

 

I hope Lin and all the starters play. They need to build chemistry and figure out what works or not. I think McHale was surprised how well they played the first two games and so decided to change it up to see how other units played together. Obviously it didn't work out very well this first time around with the two rookies and also playing against a elite team like the Spurs.

 

This is a good time for McHale to try out all kinds of combinations and sets, before games actually count.

Let's rest all the starters and let the 2/3/4 strings play.

 

But these starters are new playing with each other, so they also need to figure it out during the preseason. So play them the first half and let the others play the rest of the time.

 

What's your point here? I still don't get where you are trying to go with this.

 

I have the Dallas beat writer on twitter & since yesterday he has been tweeting about Lin. Seems like they are taking this game seriously.

Oh boy it doesn't get any easier. But seriously it's only preseason, why are they taking these games so serious.

 

i AGREE!

his best fighting weight is heavier

the weight he lost was a lot of muscle, a lot also in the legs so he doesn't have the explosiveness, quickness and spring he had before

losing the weight was terrible advice for Lin, i wonder who's the genius behind it

 

Roxxy, everyone is coming at Lin hard preseason or not. Lin already has a target on his back cause of Linsanity.

hope Jeremy Lin prepared.

 

Linsanity coming to Dallas.

 

because of last night performance, the Rockets are pissed and the Rockets gonna kick the Mavs asss tonight. lol...

 

Lets Beat the MavPricks!!!

 

I wonder how freaked out Cavaliers fans are with Kyrie Irving's performances in the preaseason.

 

This game is on fsn southwest in college station tonight YES!!!!

 

His point is that Machado and Douglas were the only guys that played PG full time in training camp, so they are better at running the team right now.

 

Kyle is a No.1 draft pick so he gets a benefit of doubt unlikea undrafted, unproven, no name school grad. (Yes I am being very sarcastic here.)

 

Eh...so sit him for tonight?

 

Mav's by 7

 

Are you even aware of why Kyrie (his name isn't 'Kyle') is struggling?
