Not sure about that... Lou Williams and Jeff Teague had a pretty good night (the two players he mostly guarded). He can't fight through screens that well, granted Horford sets a mean screen and Teague is pretty fast coming around it.
Another great team win!!! Harden 45p,7r Lin 21p,10r,7a Asik 19r Houston Big 3! You guys worth every penny, good job Morey. Still lots of work to do on transition defense and take care the ball...
We are going to need to improve the bench or Lin and Harden will either be hurt or dead tired by Christmas.
Lin reminds me a lot of a young Tony Parker in that they both drive to the basket and either get caught in the air without a shot or pass option or take bad angles (either beginning their jump too far away from the basket or too close to the basket). It drove Popovich insane. This is his what 25th game as a starter in the league. He should get better. His efficiency should go up. Give him time. We're not going to with the 'ship this season we have time for all our players, not just JLin to improve.
Just based off these two games. James Harden- MVP Jeremy Lin - MIP Asik - DPOY Morris - 6th man Coach- McHale GMOTY- Morey Rockets Sweep
Backup pg is the weakest spot. Delfino is almost a solid role player when he doesn't have his head up his ass. Wouldn't mind seeing jones or dmo, but I'm guessing mchale doesn't like what he is seeing in practice.
Too much Carmelo Anthony in him..... If he would only learn to kick the ball out to open shooters............ (Even Asik does this.)
An unnoticed detail toward the end of the game which I think will be very important down the stretch. Guys other than Harden were willing to step up and take the big shot or make a big play. Obviously, it's nice having that first option and Harden didn't disappoint. But when they were doubling him at the end, it was nice to see Lin not shy away from the big shot (even though he didn't finish a couple) as well as PPat taking that 3 to tie the game at 90 and obviously PARSONS WHO WAS DEAD COLD FROM 3 CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO TAKE THAT SHOT. Parsons shooting was ugly, but knowing that he has that confidence (along with the other guys) is something you won't see in the box score, but will make a huge difference along the way.
GMOTY definitely going to kupcheck ( however the **** you spell it ) but if the rockets manage to make a playoff run, I think he deserves it.
If you say so. I saw a very stupid player out there - constantly making decisions that hurt his team.
