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

i want to say it again, 2pat is weaknut. i will take jones and gamble white over him anyway

 

Dragic getting punk'd right now, lol...

 

another 2012er...

 

Smh lin makes 8 mill not 12 mill. I hate when people infer things like they are experts when they can't even get their facts straight

 

20 TOs vs. 9 TOs made us -11 shoots and MEM +11 shoots.
That why we lose this game.

 

yeah because mcfail told him to^^

why so much hate on mcfail? why oh why? he ruined rockets game after vs atlanta

AFTER THEY TRAIN TOGETHER, THEY SHOW NO SPIRIT AT ALL, THE PLAY SEEMS NOT RIGHT. what a lovely coach

 

Harden ain't nothing but a bench player, yeah I said it!!!

 

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down. Obviously, Lin is no Weeble.

 

Exactly. That's bottom line right there. Cut down on those turnovers and we cut down on the losses.

 

Lin got 2 steals tonight by stripping people on dribble drives. Those steals created momentum and got us within 2. Overall he had a poor game and deserves criticism (mainly for allowing himself to be taken out of the game by Bayless, who played outstanding D). But those steals were pretty big deal and not from playing the passing lane. The 3 by Conley at the end of the game, I probably would have helped on Gasol to force a miss. Gasol was in a higher percentage scoring position. It was crucial to get a stop at that point.

 

Our entire starting lineup except for Asik are bench players.

 

Shame on you Morey.

 

is that all u can say? 2012er?

 

Hardens use to playing with a coach who knows how to actual coach

 

They interviewed McFail before the NBA TV blackout. Described his mistake-prone rookies with gentle laughter.

If we're gonna suck dog d***s anyway, just play the rooks.

This guy has got to go.

 

Yes, it started with lin..he was too passive! Why should he be passing up open shots??

 

i am glad somebody noticed that.

 

Nobody scores that much and sucks. Even under Woodson he had plenty of games like 19-13, 20-10 type games and he was playing injured for some of that stretch.

He shot 50% from 3 tonight as well as overall, he's also over 90% FT shooter at the moment. He CAN shoot...just seems like his confidence isn't there sometimes or he's tossing desperation shots late in the clock at times as well.

I think it's the same stuff Chris Paul went through after his knee injury, took him a long time to get back to his previous level. I'd guess D-Rose, Rubio, etc will face similar problems. Even now just from the eye test Jeremy doesn't look nearly as fast as usual, especially his first step and lateral change in direction. Just recall his crossing over Wall and dunking last season, etc. Nothing close to that speed or explosiveness yet this season.

 

He's not a max player the way he's been playing.

 

Well there are few possibilities here, but that is the only way to explain why he tends to go off in the 4th quarter after playing so passive during the 1st three.

I was really down on him tonight being so passive on the offensive end for the 1st 3 quarters - which is translating to poor play with more TO's and just overall a poor play. And then he gets the green light and goes off. He just seems to be more involved in the 4th quarter.

There is nothing wrong with his knee. So stop bringing that up.

This type of offense McHale is instituting is hurting his game as well as harden's. Not sure how long we can wait before we call it quits but I can't see on offensive set where Jeremy brings the ball up the court, gives it to Harden and camps out by the three pointer will help his game in the long run.

Morey needs to realize this - otherwise, Jeremy's confidence will just plummet and he will go back to being the D-ball caliber player he was before Lisanity
