ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 11/7/2012

the announcers were correct. Houston is overthinking how to execute instead of playing loosely. The crisp ball movement from previous games were clearly missing in the first half.

Harden's shooting is off tonight so they need to trust Lin to make the decision more. Terrible coaching for not making quick adjustment. The 15-pt lead is getting dangerous now.

 

Top 3 rocket plays:

Pick and roll

Iso on Harden

3s!!!!! Shoot tons of threes!!!!

 

I miss Adelman.

 

Perhaps we would be better off with Mike D'antoni's offense than this.

 

At least Lin got his contract. Now he doesn't really have anything to worry about it seems. Happy to get 10 points 5 assists a game.

 

LOL, hitting shots help. Lin has 4 assists and 0 TO in a half. IDK what more you want from "floor general".

You want to blame anyone blame Morey, Rockets missing Vets and way under the cap to contend for playoffs. On paper, this is a lottery team.

 

we traded away all of a shooter for draft picks

 

Something is not right with Jeremy Lin...... It almost looks like he aggravated the knee injury and is in denial........... He plays like he's afraid to commit a turnover. His normally-disruptive defense is also MIA.

I mean, I was watching Raymond Felton on Lin's old team, the New York Knicks, he right now looks more like Jeremy Lin than Jeremy Lin........... I just hope Lin doesn't have Raymond Felton disease, which he only plays well in New York.

That said, the other problem with the Rox is nobody on the team sets good screens. That will make any decent backcourt look bad.

 

Lin seems so passive for some reason. Is he still hurt because it seems like he does not want the ball. I want to see him drive for a layout like he did in NY.

Something is not right with Lin.

 

Yes. It's like he is afraid to shoot. How can you have only 3 shots in the first half? What da hell happen to him?

 

Lin does not suck. It is the gamebook that calls for him to pass the ball to Harden and then sit at the three that sucks.

 

damn Lin, where's your fearless self?! Bring it on, what worse can it get, put yourself together!!

 

Yepppp... As much as I hate Lebron... He can play some D when he wants to... But i've seen Iggy shut down Lebron... The guy is good...

Please don't "waste your time" watching anymore Rockets basketball then.

 

Harden needs to stop looking for the fouls everytime he drives to the basket he looks at the refs after he just got done turning the ball over

 

True dat. Adelman is an offensive genius and finds the best way to utilize all his talent. McFail just blows.

 

Harden's gotta stop flailing his arms looking for fouls. Ain't happening this year, if you watch other games, you can see the refs are letting 'em play this year.
For a "fast" team they sure look slow as hell. Denver played last night and they're still quicker than this Rockets team. Friggin' embarrassing

I want to know whatta hell they did those 2 days off? they're slower, offense is even more stagnant and the defense is a joke.

Also we gotta stop passing Omer the ball like he's Dwight. Those attempted alley-oops made me LOL because Omer didn't even attempt to get it He doesn't want anything to do with the ball.

 

this sucks i was so looking forward to the game today. the nuggets always play teams that get publicity tough and lose to inferior teams.

 

yeah. I don't think it's his knee. He just looks to defer too much. He is so afraid of shooting or even driving. This isn't how he succeeded. He needs to step up.

 

thats what they keep doing. and all it does is create t.o. for nuggets to score. last game was lay-ups now this. these dudes need to figure eachothers game out. they got harden locked down
