ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 11/18/2012

Correcting the bold.

Meant to say that Lin is going to get better.

You all remember young Lowry and Dragic right? Dragic at times we thought was more of a SG, he played way too wreckless...

He got some time at the point...more time...and eventually he got it. I think and hope with Lin it will be the same. Outside of scoring I see tons of good with him, sometimes he plays too much off ball on defense...but that's a coaching thing really.

 

Disagree. He's already a number one option and he's only 23. He's only going to get better.

Are you kidding me? Our worst starters so far, Lin and Patterson, are still way above D-League level. The only borderline D-league level player we're running out there for any minutes is TD.

Harden, Asik, and Parsons are great building blocks, and I still think Lin is going to be at least a solid starter once he gets right. Morris, Jones, and Motiejunas have intriguing long term potential and if we can find one above average starter out of those three, I won't be surprised at all, but I'll be happy.

You're being a stupid pessimist who is knee jerking to the least experienced team in the NBA, who has played together less than any other team, getting pushed around by some tough opponents. This team has great future as-is, and with the flexibility of our cap room moving forward, we should be able to add a legit #2 option.

 

Okay then, 16 and 9 is still 45% of a team's offense if he runs the offense correctly and limits turnovers. It was an example and a valid one that shows what a PG means to a team's offense.

 

Do you understand that body language trickles down. You know when you're two best players look like they dont give a ***, the rest of the team picks p on it. When lin throws careless stupid turnovers, it trickles. When Harden gives up on defense, it trickles down.

 

I just now notice how many new 2012 poster's there are on the board!

 

Actually the two best player are Parsons and Harden.

 

Why don't you go root for another team if you are so depressed about this team's future? We will be all happy we have one less whiner here on this board.

 

Don't worry man. He's just a troll

 

If you sort by USG, he's also at the bottom. He's not being utilized properly. If you want to be fair, you need to sort by all categories.

 

Then trade him. Unless the Rox get a good PF in return, they'll realize he wasn't the problem.

If nothing else, I now understand why Lowry and Dragic wanted out.

 

HOU LAL
TR 42 41
OR 11 9
TO 15 13
Fast: 21 23

Paint: 56 60

Pretty close.
They shot the ball better 54% vs our 48.9%, 45% from 3 vs our 39%

 

Some of it is frustration, what did you expect from the youngest team vs the seasoned bunch in the Lakers??

 

He's going to suck everywhere he goes. He can only play for Dantoni with no stars around.

 

And you expect them to make every play correct in every game and never make mistakes? Wow, did you just start to watch NBA yesterday? Do you not know even the best superstars make dumb plays sometimes?

 

Well, as far as 10 games played into the season. I must admit as Lin fan... I am pretty much disappointing his shooting slump.

Hell, 10 games is usually more than enough to get "shooting stroke" back. I am getting tired looking over his shooting percentage (certainly not helped Rockets so far.) Despite coaching **** or anything else, he should overcome this problem within 10 games, but I still can't see it happens soon. (This is so stressful) F---UUUUUCK LIN just wake up already

 

we have yet to see lin ISO,and that's how he scored most of his points in new york.

just think about that for a second.

 

Kobe is on freaking fire, unbelievable. And Dwight is Dwight, Pau is Pau... you can't expect our bigs to come close to the production of LA's frontcourt.

Although, eventually I think our team can look somewhat like the LA team we faced tonight. Asik will never be the offensive threat that Dwight is, but he could contribute similarly on defense and rebounding. If we can find a scoring power forward who is better than Gasol, we'll be in good shape.

 

We scored 108 points, shot 49%, got 30 assists, won the rebounding battle and lost by double digits.

Defense was horrendous.

 

Dragic wanted to stay. Houston was his first choice he loved playing for PG centric McHale offense. The Rockets refused the 4th year player option and the sadly we will regret it for years to come. Low on the other hand was a whinny cancer who was dissapointed Dragic took his spot and wasnt willing to do the hard yards to earn it back.
