ClutchFans Game Thread: Spurs @ Rockets 12/10/2012

No I didn't see it. The way I feel is Harden played a VERY courageous game playing thru pain and exhaustion and keeping the Rockets in the game. I guess criticism is part of fame. However compared to the criticism Lin has had the criticism for Harden has been negligable. I don't think ANYBODY has ever been criticized as much as Lin.

 

Well a lot of that has to do with Lin perennially being trashed and called a scrub, bench player, d-leaguer, etc. whereas Harden is given respect.

Of course there's going to be a bigger reaction when Lin has a game like this, because it goes against what everyone was saying about him and what was expected of him.

Also, Jeremy scored much of his points within the flow of the offense, Harden is much more of a ball-stopper even though his assists seem to say otherwise.

You have any proof for that?

 

I honestly just don't think we should ever give Delfino more then 20 minutes unless his shot is dropping. You can give guys like Lin, Parsons, Douglas and even Patterson that amount of time but Delfino to me seems too much of a liability since he doesn't bring that much defense.

 

Dear Jeremy,

If you'd not step on the three point line all the time, we would have won the game in regulation.

 

i'm not sure i'd agree with him but we did have 6 players with 10+ attempts today while only 3 the last time we met Spurs

 

Watching replays it struck me how unselfish and good for team chemistry Lin is. He is at least the 2nd best player on the team but has been deferring to everone else so he has looked like the 5th best starter and maybe not as good as some bench players such as TD.

I was telling y'all you don't know what you've got....

 

This man speaks truth. :grin:

 

Just saw the highlights..

With regards to the last play... he had created space from Green with the first move.. he should've just shot it. His indecision cost him there.

The play that I liked the most was in OT when he gambled and knocked the ball out of I think it was Green's hands after green had beat him.. Green missed and Duncan was going for a put back Tip and Jeremy jumped and knocked the ball out of there.. sacrificing his body. Those are the type of plays that he's good at making.. and those plays don't show up in Stat lines but the amount of energy they inject into the team and the crowd is vital. When he makes plays guys get juiced up and play harder... it's about energy.

If the Rox get a better game from Delfino they win this game going away.

 

What a great game. JLin was on fire, tough lost. Hopefully it'll continue into the next game.

 

When you're in a shooting slump.. looking for the 3pt line is the worst thing you can do.. he steps back JUST to get behind the 3pt line and he probably misses the shot.. he needed to shoot in rhythm.

 

As long as the coaches don't yank him for TD's defense or "spacing" so Harden can go ISO.

 

Clueless frigging coaches

 

Jeremy Lin is a Superstar!

 

Oh dear.

One thing I noticed is he seemed to be getting more elevation on his jump shot. This is why I think he was making most of them tonight.

 

At least he's very good as Di'Antoni just said. Of course the coaches missed it last year and then again this year. They should be fired. They better hope we don't lose him to the Lakers.

 

someone needs to tell omer that flopping is illegal now.
