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

If the coaching staff is smart, they'll run the offense through White more. I bet they did not do it to say "Okay, get more used to the NBA speed kid" before giving him the ball.

 

White HAS to touch the ball to be effective...if they aren't going to let White handle the rock they might as well cut him now!!

 

whats so great about Livingston anyways? Not very familiar with him other than injury history...what is anyone's hope for him in the league?

 

Patterson has been beasting this game. This is how we need him to play. So encouraging.

What are you doing
White

 

No, not really. White is doing too much of "Okay this is the play we're running" while everyone else switches off of that. You can tell if you watch how he has played. Get him a little looser and he'll be fine. He's still trying to learn the plays like every other rookie on the team.

 

Patterson has been playing well in my opinion. Jones nor D-mo are ready to be a starter yet so I think people need to get used to Patterson as the starting PF.

 

Or he can learn how to move off the ball... like any decent basketball player. No worries - he'll pick it up. When the rotation is set, players should feel more comfortable in their roles. This is just preseason and his first game. Look at it as merely experimentation.

 

I think if Martin stays healthy n happy his impact will drag us to at least the 8th spot.
Asik is such a deal..how did they let him go?

Go Baby Rockets!

 

But it seems like everyone is handling the ball, like Martin, Delfino, etc. The PGs will run a few plays, but a lot of the time they just pass it off at the 3 point line and then go to the corner.

I know it's not popular, but I thought Lin ran the team well the first two games. He wasn't scoring, but he ran it efficiently. Machado is also playing really well.

 

Maybe White is having anxiety issues because the building is American Airlines Center ... probably thinks it's a terminal

 

Wish they would run more screen plays for Lamb, he has a great shot.

 

I miss Scola in the post still...we easily could've had a lineup this year of:

Gogi
Parsons
Scola
Asik
Martin

Backups
Douglas
Delfino/White
Patterson/Jones
D-Mo
Lamb

 

Kevin Martin looking mighty impressive, Chandler looking solid as ever, PPat finally back to old form?, Asik ready to destroy, Royce White needs to get in the gym, JLamb is over shooting his shots.

 

Love me some KMART

 

Well done

 

Wow Martin!!

 

Good ol..Kevin Martin...playing hard for that contract..

 

We need Royce White for backup PG...Toney DouglASS is a hot mess

 

Mayo with 2 threes in a row? jesus
