ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 12/8/2012

Problem is, aside from Harden, who's gonna score? Have you seen what happened with Harden out? 24sec violation. No one wants to shoot the ball up. Are the rockets too hang up that Harden is the scorer? Without him on the floor - they "lost". FY Rockets. Ur too painful to watch. Where is Linsanity I enjoyed watching? Gone. Heck TD is better than Lin. FY Lin.

 

2pat with a +/- of -24 :S

 

Shut up. At some point you will do some independent thinking and realize there are two truths in life,

1. Lin's too timid
2. You are a troll and nobody likes you

 

Rockets testing the waters without lin

they drowned

 

He is a lin fan himself. He used to be a supposed hardcore rockets fan but he left when yao left and now he is back because of lin. He and Akim are like that.

 

Yes.

Lin could have, because they started to double Harden at half court, if you put Lin across the court and they double James then Lin has a open lane to the basket with how hard they doubled.

In the end, the Mavs made adjustments and the Rockets did not. The players played well enough to win this game and should have won it. They did not because of the coaching.

 

Yes, so glad Lin didn't play. Leaving TD in was such a great idea for defense, I mean Mayo only had the second highest scoring night of his career. He could of went off for his highest

LOHers need to just stop. When Lin was in the game at least they were up and under control. After he's out, the offense just became predictable. Let's just keep giving it to Harden, I mean he can go 1 on 5 right LOHers

 

I'd like to hear what McHale has to say about not playing two of his starters the entire 4th quarter.

 

Uh Oh, Lin fans need to avoid posting now and go get dinner. Angry Lin Haters getting very bitter and rude.

 

Despite the loss, it was a fun game to watch. Amazing 2nd quarter fireworks, reminds me that this team is an offensive weapon that can break out at any time. It's what makes this Rockets team so exciting to watch. Interesting few minutes when Harden, Lin, and Douglas were on the floor at the same time gave me a chance to see them all side by side. These last two games should be character building. Lots of things to work on, individually, and as a team. Keep at it boys. Go Rockets!

 

At least play Asik and Lin a few minutes in the 4th just to rest the other guys if you are going to finish the game with them. Harden played too many minutes especially after hurting his ankle earlier in the game. Just look like the team ran out of juice at the end.

 

Harden's ankle was still probably wobbly - so he defended worse than he usually did. Can't put the blame on him. Can't take him out and reduce his minutes either - cause if you sit him the ankle will swell/stiffen. Then he's out the rest of the game.

 

What I see is Lin fans joining LOHs in blaming Lin in the loss. LOHs should be happy!!

 

loool

 

This is turning into a pretty bad website. LOF vs LOH -- and I don't know which group is worse. "Lin haters" are probably bitter, though, because Rockets lose and Lin isn't a scapegoat this time around. They're already accusing Lin fans of enjoying this loss.

I don't think JLIN is a good fit for this team. He should probably be traded, although it's unlikely the Rockets do something like that. The Rockets were very bad to watch this game and did deserve to lose -- if nothing for than to shine extra light on how poor of a coach McHale is.

 

Patterson -24

Delfino took 10 three pointers to score 10 points.

 

Murphy is prolly most pissed of all... He wants to kill that guy for the George Jefferson comment.

 

You have Greg Smith beasting and you choose Cole Aldrich... Just Terrible

 

It wasn't just Lin..... They has zero screeners out there. The offense for the last part of the game jacking threes over a zone. This is the type of stuff you see from a bad college team.

 

no they can, he missed a shot at some point in the game right?

i hope they trade Lin/...the Lakers would love to have him..
