Delfino single-handly beat the Bucks. 22 'n' 6-for-7 from beyond the arc/Checked. Asik single-handly beat the Bulls. 20+18/Checked. Lin single-handly beat the Knicks. 22+8/Checked. Harden... I felt sad for him.
Rockets can turn around! that's great! Old rockets used to strore 20+ lead for 4th quater to ensure a win.
I don't know what McHale told this guys at the half, but boy did we turn it around - you gotta love this team.
If it was in the earlier games....Lin would have been benched tonight for sure. Glad he was unleashed back in the 4th to close things up. Great move by the coaches...
No knocking on Harden....but he may have single-handly let the game go to OKC....he's was pushing it too much in those two games and not let the game flow like normal.
lol I was actually expecting Lin to be benched...but I check his stats and I'm like whoa, 28 min and 7 assists not bad despite his high TO.
He struggled early but to say he almost cost us the game is silly.. M. Ellis went off eary and who as guarding him? Lin took 3 shots in the first half while cgoued to Jennings. Jennings was held in check all game. Great players like harden don't struggle much. Good players like Lin will have more off nights than a superstar. The dude have 4 steals and 7 assists. Those TO are part of being an agressive player.
I agree, McHale did well this game to make adjustments when the game looked all but over. Props to the coaching and players on this one.
I disagree. That 3rd quarter (apparently after the virgin sacrifices in the locker room) was us taking the game. It wasn't as if the bucks were throwing the ball away we were taking it away at the top of the key! It was only after we tied the game and gained the lead that i think the Bucks started to go a little nutty.
