ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 12/17/2012

Harden is beasting as usual. Lin was playing well tonight and I'm happy for him. It was funny to see how Felton was trying SO hard to out duel Lin tonight because he knows there will be a lot of comparisons on Sportscenter. Felton was jacking up a lot of bad shots and was just trying too hard and kind of made a fool of himself against Lin.

Lin had a lot of bad games this season but tonight, he is the best PG on the court. Lin is still young and inexperience and he's only going to get better.

The Knicks fan forum page is going off right now about the game. Its funny how some of them keep saying the Rockets were lucky tonight and kept making shots.... Overall, the Rockets were smart and played hard. I can't believe some of those Knicks fan keep making excuses that they lost because they don't have Melo. Last time with Melo, they got blown out and their excuses last time was that they lost because they don't have Sheed and Camby...

 

Thanks, man. Glad you enjoy them.

We've been following Jeremy since right after Linsanity 1.0 started last year. Since I'm a huge Houston fan, I'm thrilled he's a Rocket now.

 

Nice thats u. Good summary. This why i've been stressing Lin is at his best when he gets into the lane. He has immense court vision and even when he was strugglin, his court vision was a pretty evident. He can do some damage when he gets in the lane with the drive and dish hand off or attacking the basket and looking for his shot.


Once teams sag off him and give him the premeter shot, he needs to put the ball on the floor and attack the clogged up defence. The premeter shot will allways be there, but he needs to now continue this mindset of atacking the basket and look to be creative.

 

Felton tried so hard tonight, but Lin really worked him.

Knicks just don't match up well with Houston. Knicks can't run with Houston.

 

Another thing is Harden didnt change his game much, it was Lin who changed his game so this proves that They can coexsist without Harden changing his game much. 's upto Lin to be more aggressive.

 

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Jeremy has awesome court vision, that's why I think he's a better passer than Harden. Harden is a great passer off of pick and rolls, but I think J-Lin is better, overall, as a passer.

He has to improve on his shot and handle. It will come. He and Harden are going to be great together for a LONG time. Love it.

 

wow you are conservative new media

u blocked me from commenting on your videos lmfao

 

hey, sorry about that!

Probably was John (my brother). He's more sensitive about comments than I am.

 

Wait, what? Lin can do what he did tonight anytime he wants, he doesn't have to be "allowed" to do anything. The coaches didn't come out today and say "we're gonna let Lin do whatever he wants today."

The game plan and the sets were the same as they always had been, the only difference today was Lin and his confidence.

 

Good stuff PhilSlamma. Keep it up. Just subscribed to your YouTube channel...

 

You got to be kidding? Asik's entire contract with Houston is $25 mil while Chandler's salary the next 3 years is $42.2 million. Asik contract is almost half of Chandler but he's producing way more on the court on terms of rebounding and defense.

Though Asik isn't like Tyson Chandler on the spectacular dunks, Asik plays hard and is a rebounding machine. Tyson may be a DPOY before, but this year he fell off. The Rockets are just doing layup drills on him. For someone who makes about $17 million lesser in salary but bringing the same type of production to the court, maybe even more, I'll take the one who's more than worth his contract.

 

Chandler got clowned by Asik when the teams met earlier in the year, so that's probably why Tyson played better tonight.

jsonic6 -- thanks man

 

I know right. The Rockets beat Boston and Knicks, two of the top teams in the East and lost to one of the worst in the Raptors. I think that game against the Raptors, the Rockets players were not ready. It seem like they were sleepy or had jet lag.

 

Early game (1pm ET). Sometimes you will see teams stink up the joint when they play an early game. I think that is some of what happened to Houston yesterday in Toronto.

 

I am confused, is that you? great job!

 

That is me, and thanks!

I am a long time Rockets fan, since the early 1980's. Been on Clutch's site forever, since it was Clutch City back in the mid to late 1990's.

Started following Lin last year, and am thrilled he is with Houston now.

 

Rockets have to work on some things... but can be a very dangerous team in time.

 

Big fan of yours on Youtube. I am a long time Rockets fan since early 1990's.
Thanks for your great effort.
