    We either tank.. or start playing for a playoff spot.

    It looks like we're playing to tank.

    It seems you guys don't know anything about the differences between Linsanity @ NY and Lin @ Houston.

    #1 He is 202 lbs now. He was 212 lbs last season.
    #2 He is 202 lbs now!
    #3 He is 202 lbs now...

    a lot of things to fix, this team is too young, sigh...............

    1, confusion on offense, results to a lot of turnovers and bad shots....
    2, rebounds, results to a lot of offensive rebounds and second shots...
    3, harden needs to learn from these games, that he should be a facilitator more than a scorer, and let the score come to him naturally, do not force it....
    4, lin needs to be more offensive minded, score more

    Like I said before, The Rockets got the best 2nd Unit bench starters in the league.

    Miami = cringe....

    Believe me, I'm not a troll

    But why it seems everybody looking to blame Lin, while 50% on court and 3pt line, got 5rb, 3ast, 2 stl... look decent to me, only Asik and Parsons can top that stat.
    And granted he also got 4 TO but everyone on team has it's share as well (need me to list out the TO stat in here !!!)

    I mean why is no one blame Harden for this slump (4/18 - 1/6 if Lin got this kind of stat, ppl will certainly crucify him, literally !!!)

    he probably tried to be a good student of the coaching for the first 3 qtr. In the 4th qtr, his clutch gene took over and wala! Here we go!

    I hope he is not listening to the nonsense of our coaching staff, play like he did in New York. But again, unlike New York, Rockets doesn't have any play sets for Lin and player can't really play against coach.

    Fire Mchale NOW!! Don't wait...he's teaching them bad basketball habits...it's funny how Lin & Harden looked best the first two games when they were just doing their thing..3 days of practice of Mchale "Coaching" and they regress dramatically...McHale is hurting the chemistry and confidence of our young team. This is the year we should be developing our rookies not have them sit on the bench..Just Horrible!! Another month of this and the confidence of our players may be completely destroyed!! He doesn't put players in position to succeed, he doesn't form the offense to players strengths. Our players playing out of position... he's hurting Harden & Lin's development..get him out now!!

    +1. It seems no one on the court is expecting Lin to handle, thus 1) the spacing was bad; 2) no screen for Lin.

    team basketball is what we need
    not harden iso
    again no movement when harden gets the ball.
    harden is not a point guard. he is not jordan, kobe, he is not even melo when he go is.
    he needs to wake up.
    trading martin was a mistake.
    let lin have to ball mchale..... seems like the game plan is to let lin pass the ball and stay in the corner
    if you didn't see everyone was standing still when harden had the ball, u r freaking blind. this guy think he is jordan # 2 .
