Yeah I keep on remembering Sampson comment about young teams/players trying to chase two rabbits at once and that all these guys are chasing so many rabbits. As facilitators, Harden and Lin has one of the hardest roles on the court, so I wonder if their efficiency have taken a dip partly because they're trying to do so many other things at once, new offensive plays, defensive plays, teammates, and so on. Harden himself has been interviewed that they're still about two weeks away from fully gelling, but to be honest I'm giving them until the beginning of Jan through that terror of a schedule that's basically a bunch of schedule losses.
I feel so sorry for Lowry for playing for the crap Raptors. He played so well last night and in the final minute you can tell how frustrated he was. I can tell he was frustrated that his teammate was not following the game plan setup by coach or him, or whatever. If you watch the last night's Raptors' game, you know what I mean.
Good and rational post. The problem is as long as we have users here like Dei who posts "Lin is a Joke!" right after Lin has a bad game, or Gil who creates thread "Parsons is exposed" right after Parsons does poor in a game, or Spiegel who calls Harden trash when he misses a few shots, as long as we have those immature knee-jerk reacting users who also happen to be very vocal, we will never have the kind of peace suggested by the OP. That's just the sad reality. Since it's impossible for Clutch to ban Knee-jerk reaction threads, the only thing we can do is simply don't click those thread thus don't give them the attention they don't deserve, and put those immature users on your ignore list. Your world would be much more peaceful.
A breath of fresh air amongst sea of knee jerking posts. Versitility! That will be the identity of the team in the future. Rockets will have three starters who are capable of playmaking in Harden, Lin and Parsons. What creates the scoring will be their ability to penetrate and pass. They can only become better as PPat and Asik learn how to set better picks for them. I said it after a few games this season that Rockets offense will be among the top five this season. It didn't take long to go from 16th to 3rd in scoring. The future looks bright being the youngest team. The most amazing fact is each of our starter hasn't reach their peak yet. We need to be patient and stop having impulsive reaction.
5 star thread! Wish everyone understand how young/inexperience this team is and give them time to grow and gel. I like what I've seen so far as I never expect a winning record after 17 games.
