ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/9/2012

You think this is a 9th place, 14th pick team?

 

Lin has been way too passive for like three games now. Before 4th qt, his goal attempt is pathetic 5, almost the lest. Only in 4th qt did he step up. Coach needs to give him green light to be aggressive from the beginning...

 

What can Harden and Lin do anyways ? Can't throw the ball to Asik. He has stone hands and even if he manages to catch the ball he has a lot of trouble finishing even 2 feet away from the rim. Can't really give the ball to Parsons or Patterson either as the clock is running down since they are unreliable as well. Every possession basically turns into desperation ball with our team. We have Lin, Harden, a great defensive center with stone hands, and two mid 1st round picks as our starters. The team is what it is. What is most surprising is the constant b****ing by people when we are losing ? You honestly expect this team to beat the Grizzlies ? They are one of the stronger teams in the Western Conference.

 

Get rid of Harden, he's not worth $80M. We did better on the pre season without him. He's still devastated by OKC traded him. He's in the backseat with OKC, surely he can't be a driver. He need to know this is a team sport not a personal vendetta. IMO!

Or get rid of McHale, he's guuguuu gaga over Harden two games fluke. IMO!

 

Today, Lin is not the PG but Harden..........

 

I think he is afraid to gomup because he rarely gets calls. He needs to develop a mid range jumper. But whatever the case, he needs to stay aggressive. The current planning style is not conducive to his development as a player.

 

turns out our back court is overpaid after all

our starting back court is so overpaid

harden: ok, you are missing shots, fine. you are turning the ball over, no problem. but no hustle? not even trying on the defensive end? what is up with that? he acts like he's entitled, now that he got the max deal. he reminds me alot of a certain former super star who got booed out of Houston. me no like it, at all.

and lin: no wonder why we cut him last year. he belongs in the d-league. how many airballs has he shot sofar? when the d tightens up, he can't even fricking dribble to save his life. so he got some nice steals. big deal. it's only because he plays the passing lane so much, and so often got burned by the opposing pg.

oh well, tanking mode back on i guess. all is good.

 

s^ we dont need another thread like this

 

I would guess coaching decision.

 

You are seriously clueless. Quit posting.

 

I don't why sometimes you speak the truth...like this...but sometimes you are irrelevant.

 

I agree with this, he's passing up open looks not taking the ball to the hoop, not drawing fouls (one of the strongest points of his game - and he's a +90% ft this season) and deferring too much.

 

I've been defending Parsons too much so I don't want to appear to be a "fan boy" but he had a pretty decent game tonight.

 

2pat was scared that a pg will crush his skull :grin:

 

2pat is softttt

 

fk 2pat, start our rookie

 

Are you serious? You need to go back and read your own posts, talk about clueless!

 

Pat is not a team player. He just wants to do his own thing.

 

james, i know you got your big contract and all and imma let you finish.

but if you're gonna trick off on strippers can you produce a little more on the court?

 

So you're saying Lin did no wrong?
