ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 10/17/2012 (PRESEASON)

I did enjoy the win, thanks. I just hate being condescended to. And the thing I hate worse than being condescended to is being condescended to with bad grammar and faulty logic. It gives me pleasure setting the condescender straight. You didn't take my advice tho

 

Good post. Hit the right note on just about everything.

 

Fans sure do love calling players busts...

 

People are calling Lamb a bust and he hasn't even played one full season yet. Holly crap chill. It's a process these young guys are still learning.

 

I think my Chinese English is good enough for you to understand tho...:grin:

 

Haters gotta hate.

 

I already loose my faith on him. He nearly can't drive to the hoop and he relies too much on jumpers. That's a HUGE wall for him to climb over.

 

I just watched McHale's postgame interview. He is the biggest debbie downer, wow.

 

fix

 

Bad example...Aldridge plays a ton facing the basket...and he gets a lot of alley oops. You even stated that a scorer must immediately move toward the basket after a pass...Im not sure what post moves you are talking about, but when Im referring to big men with post moves, Im talking about getting the ball with your back to the basket and then trying to make a move. Look at Hakeem...he'd get the entry pass, pause for a second and evaluate, and then make his moves. Those are not assists. If you have big men with post games, that actually hurts your chances of getting an assist, unless the big man is pulling a spin move toward the basket for an alley-oop.

 

Lamb Shake lol

 

Right verb, but still conjugated incorrectly

 

YES. Does it even make a difference if I rep you when you're already Hakeem?

Lamb is still my favorite rookie: talented, polished, and apparently very sassy as well.

 

Lol. You are making your conclusion too soon. Lamb will be fine and get his PT once McHale sets him straight with his D. The athleticism and skills are there.

 

T.T ... I missed my day in Brooklyn badly now...

 

^ I miss.../_\

 

Wow, what's with all this Lamb hate. Did everyone just forget about summer league when people were saying he'd be our All-Star of the future.

The earliest we should use "bust" for any of our rookies is if they struggle for an entire 1/2 of the season. Even that's a little early.

 

Lambsanity :grin:

 

I use the 3 year rule. It's a bit too patient for most but with 3 years a team should know what the possibly have with a player. I think Morris was the latest "Bust" but until he had got hurt he actually looked a lot better than last year.

 

The flip flopping is Romney-esque. McHale was saying how they are actually running NBA sets because the young guys have never seen them before. It is a process people need to have some patience. Just ride the season out Lamb is still learning. Not everybody is going to emerge as quick as Jones did.
