Harden is sucking big time tonight. Lin is afraid to shoot.

If Lin wants to be a complete player, he needs to start trusting his shot more. It's one thing to get assists, he needs to start making shots as well. Otherwise he is going to get eaten alive this season

 

When he's standing in the corner yeah. I hate this offense

 

U G L Y

 

i'd rather have democratic ball than hero ball. we should be down by 50.

 

I feel like Harden and Lin can exploit the middle of the court so much more by mixing in some mid-range jumpers. It is either a 3 or a drive to the bucket.

 

Single players don't shut down fast PG's, you need team D for that.

Lin is pretty much getting the passes he wants, just nobody can hit a shot for crap.

As for Harden, the hacks he's getting no-calls on are ridiculous. We're not talking ticky tack touches, we're talking outright hacks where he isn't even getting a foul call, in the act or not.

We'll see when we come out of the time out.

 

It's Mchale 100%. How many times did Harden bring the ball down and Lin just run to the corner...or Lin dump it to Harden at halfcourt and run to the corner, etc.

He's being told to defer to Harden. Even the quote they mentioned earlier from the assistant coach that the offense is not a democracy and Harden will get most the shots proves as much.

 

So...can we see the rookies play?

 

The team is struggling to catch the ball, and they are completely afraid of taking the open jumpers.

I wouldn't pass either.

 

I think Rox played better when they didn't rely Harden on every single possession.

 

Man, if Harden goes cold, then it seems game over. That's the danger of running offense only through Harden. Other guys must involve more on the offense.

 

kevin mcfail. no offensively strategy whatsoever

 

3 days off and this is what they have to show

 

Lin looks completely lost out there. If you are open, you have to shoot, period. It is not McHale's fault that he is so passive. Lin is passing up open shots. He must be a very poor shooter.

 

The starters look lazy and McHale keeps the hungry tools on the bench. Smdh

 

I cant blame all,the mistakes on McHale but I can blame him for most of them.

What the hell did they practice for three days? How to shoot bricks?

 

Just shows that the first 2 games were flukes. This team is no difference from last year's team, just a middle-of-the-table mediocre team.

 

4rbs, 4asts, 2st in 16 minutes where he touches the ball less than the average nba PG is not invisible. Not sure what's up with this current offensive strategy.

 

We NEED a low post scoring threat.
