ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/16/2013

He played bad that game, but still put up around 18/5 or so.

This is the first game he's missing wide open shots like he is, and he got benched, righfully so.

Against Boston he put up 24 and 6 (something like that) don't see how that was a bad game. All of these loses he's been by far our best player, even if he was playing below-par.

 

Gotta open with the starters. Try to get them to play through the difficulties. But sub in Beverley to relieve Lin. And, I think, put in DMo to bring in more energy. Let DMo get some burn with Lin and Harden.

 

You know if you scaled Beverly's usage rate to Harden's usage rate, his numbers would be the best in the league. Move over, LeBron, your reign is over.

 

we all agree that james needs help, find the next all star to take off the load

 

finally a PG that can shoot and dish, and looks like he can actually run the team. Saw him actually tell the team to talk on D #SendLinToRussia

 

It would be the exact same thing If we started Toney Douglas. It is meaningless.

 

I believe we came back with Lin and Harden on the bench.

 

I doubt he can tell the future and know if ball is going in

 

A lot of chimerical teenagers here.

 

hes going to put up 18 tonight.....if it takes 30 shots to do it he will......harden has had really bad games....like several in the last week...hes a great player but you just dont bench your starters because they are playing poorly....you just dont...

 

a lot of unwarranted hate being thrown at Harden and Lin tonight. Give them a break. They are both tired from playing so many minutes and neither of them have long term stamina built up, especially Lin, considering this is the first year either of them are getting starters minutes in the NBA. They will gradually build up there stamina over time and in the future we will see more consistent production out of them.

 

Guess which one of the two is #4 in the league in scoring.

Thats like saying Hakeem Olajuwon and Scott brooks were one of the top shot blocking combos in the game.

 

jesus christ people, people act like Beverley came in and the Rockets took the lead! It's still a freaking 8 pt game.

 

reasonable..... good job

 

My thought the same. They haven't been playing with the same kind of energy as before.

 

I don't see what your point is here.. of course he's had bad games, just not quite as bad as tonight (so far). And yes you do bench your starters if they are playing like ****, especially if the second unit is making a run. You leave those guys out there.

 

I blame McHale for playing them late last night thinking we had a chance to win.

 

they will most assuridly play harden and lin at the start of the3rd

 

True but the effort level was bad too

 

Come on, not even Lebron. That Beverley guy is shooting 100% for his career, nonhuman.
