ClutchFans Game Thread: Wizards @ Rockets 12/12/2012

McHale has no clue how to do anything. No Lin, Parsons, or Harden. Benching 3 best players when the game is close.

 

whats pathetic about that?

 

Parsons, Lin and Delfino a bit cold today?

 

Mchale is worthless!!

 

Watching this game makes me wonder if the coaches really know what they're trying to accomplish with the rotation....

Watching the rotation makes me feel like this:
"Let's try this... wait no maybe not... well.... no lets try it anyway... umm... not really... should we go for it..."

 

I dont think they know what to do with harden and lin....they keep searching but cant come up with anything that works.

How can jeremy lin go from what he did 2 days ago to this......it has something to do with harden....he was so aggressive and now hes not nearly......I dont get it

 

I dont know how someone with his coaching lineage (auerbach, kc jones, etc) can be this clueless.

 

I disagree. I don't think he has to score that many points. I think he just needs to have the reputation as a scoring threat. If he starts driving more often and scoring more often, he will have that reputation and coaches and players will start having to guard him accordingly. That will open up things if you get my drift. He doesn't have to score 38 points to draw defenders towards him. He just has to be consistent enough to scare the other team into thinking that he is capable of scoring like that if they don't defend him. Ya dig?

 

Because he didn't even get within 8 feet of the basket for his over the shoulder move - that was basically just flinging it randomly at the glass?

 

About Lin, anyone consider that having both his ankles turned in successive days could be what's holding him back from the aggression he showed against the Spurs?

I mean that as a legitimate question. It's finals week and I can't watch the game, so no eye-test on that one for me.

 

Just check in. what? still a close game? I thought by now it would be already a blow-out.

 

very poor in game minute management.

 

A good post player establishes position first before calling for the ball - PPatt just doesn't cut it.

 

no interest to watch this game, thanks for the coaching....

 

lol u thought wrong... perhaps you forgot about the mcfail factor.

 

nice start to the 4th

 

How come Lin becomes a completely different from two days ago?

This system is genius.

 

that's the poor man version of kidd felton carmelo

 

I'm liking TD more and more. I feel conflicted about that lol.

 

Really not a fan of Delfino. He's absolutely delusional with what he thinks he's capable of on this roster. This is on McHale and the coaching staff for letting him constantly play out of position and giving him substantial ball-handling responsibilities in that offense of theirs.

Run him off of screens, get him to move around off-ball and cause defensive mishaps, allow him to spread the floor for Harden & Lin, just for crying out loud, don't let him handle the ball and try to run point. Drexler and co. have laughed and commented on this absurdity on numerous occasions already.
