    i dont understand... we come out and whoop the celtics then just lay a big 1 against the raptors.. really the raptors? on offense we just stand around and just look at harden to do his thing and on defense were lazy besides tony douglas. im pissed off because we have a lot of potential and were just wasting it

    It's a very young team. This is part of that.

    We need consistent players on defense. Morey in love with undersized low vertical players

    All I know is that when Lin is the primary ballhandler, he distributes the ball to the right guy consistently, allowing them to make a good play and get a good shot off. The offense just goes all out of whack when Lin is not the primary ballhandler.

    At least for lin, if he is no consistently controlling the ball, you will not look for consistent performance from him. Period.

    Thunder were also a young team James Harden played on and they won a lot of games.

    Key difference: Jeremy Lin is point guard vs. Jeremy Lin is not point guard

    Oh no this is becoming another "Harden doesn't let Lin control the ball" thread, or a "why doesn't Mchale let Lin control the ball more! Fire him!" thread. Like everyone has said, this team is really young. They will be inconsistent

    Key difference: they had 3 players drafted top 5 and they had a player that is already one of the top in all the NBA in Durant. We don't have anyone like him or Westbrook

    this 3pt centric offense is silly. what looks good and efficient on paper is useless in real life. you need a low post presence when you arent hitting shots. you need ball movement and movement without the ball. the rox lack all of these things. friggin offense based on numbers.

    You are right. I can't believe the Rockets aren't going into the low post with such beastly post players like Asik, Smith, Morris, and Jones.

    Durant is a small toward so it would be Durant vs Parsons

    Yep. Inconsistent. Young and inexperienced. There is no such thing as a young, inexperienced and consistent team.
