ClutchFans Game Thread: Nuggets @ Rockets 1/23/2013

All I know is, Harden will be injured if this keeps up. Run the play via Lin + Parsons? SUCCESS for everyone. But noooooo there was too much success, we have to drive Harden to the fricken ground again.

WTF McHale/Sampson, WTF IS THIS CRAP.

 

Lol the bolded is completely wrong. You act as if Harden is the only guy that 'looked a fool' against Miami. Wow the guy at 23 had one bad playoff series. Lets judge the rest of his career on that.

You think Harden is stifling the teams (Lin's) progression? How so? If you think it's the coaches then say the coaches, if you think it's Harden then say it. At least give a reason.

When was the last time any player gets a PNR? It's like 4 times a game if we're lucky.

Most of the entire offense is get the ball to someone and give him space to operate.

 

5. 6,7 TO by your SG
Are u guys blind? that is the problem
I am so sick of it.
How many SG get 567 TO a night? none. Harden is the only one

 

There checks are their motivation, this is just a group of inconsistent low level players. No one cheers losing teams unless you live on Toronto bro. Welcome rookie

 

Only one big shot in the playoffs...???

You just proved you didn't watch the playoffs last year...

Smh...

 

Fun Fact:

The Rockets have had 29 games this year with 15 or more turnovers. That's 29 out of a total 44 games. Percent-wise that's 66% of their games or 2 out of every 3 games results in 15 or more turnovers.

Surprisingly, they won 12 of those 29 games for a 12-17 record.

 

Even if he can't finish there is always a chance he can draw foul. He used to get to the FT line all the time. I don't have a problem if he kicks it out to the open player for 3 if he does not have a shot; but there have been times he could have finished himself but instead kicks it out - a layup attempt is a much higher percent shot than the 3.

 

On the flipside of the coin, Lin isn't responsible for that disaster or the 5-7 TOs that quarter. He did good defending Lawson. McGee and company simply figured out they can raping Rox frontcourt at will.

Asik played no D, sub him out with Smith and it got even worse.

As an aside, Lawson doubled his score and more once they benched Lin. But of course its all Lin's fault, he wasn't being aggressive enough on the bench.

 

Missed the game. Looking at the boxscore seemed like Lin got benched again? Was he really that bad? Harden needs to work on those turnovers, man...

 

Nuggets were actually up 11 when he went to the bench.

 

I'm going with "Lin Only Nutjob".

 

Calvin says bring in Dwight i agree. Will also attract another star player also

 

Mchale playbook. is to let pf sf pg stand at 3 line to let harden do his thing

 

You're an idiot and your posts suck, but at least you're consistent

 

Harden never moves without the ball. Our offense is garbage because every play involves Harden receiving the ball at the top of the key and 3 other clowns standingon the perimeter waiting for a kick out off of a drive. It has become nauseating to watch. The guy is not talented enough at this moment to have the usage he has.

 

That's usually what happens when you rely on one guy for your entire offensive production because no one else can score - like, at all. The defense is bad, but the offense might be worse at this point. There's no one capable of being second option on the team, not even a third option honestly.

 

To make the playoffs:

1) Must get rid of McHale and Sampson
2) We're getting killed inside - Asik is playing 1 against 3. Must get a PF who plays defense and rebounds.
3) Harden must give up the playmaker role and play a conventional SG role.

 

Just telling it like it is.

When Lin's distributing the ball and getting screens, everybody plays better, including Harden. We did this the first two games, 2-0. Made adjustment to Stupid McHale Ball(tm), went something like 7-12. Then San Antonio game, and went back to Lin distribution/screen ball, went like 12-3. Went back to Stupid McHale Ball(tm), went 1-8.

This game was almost a perfect microcosm of that. 2nd quarter Lin was allowed to distribute the ball and got screens. Halftime adjustment made. 3rd quarter Lin screen stopped, replace by bringing ball up the court then immediately pass it off or passing it off 2 sec later to a player coming off an off-the-ball screen. Utter basketball failure resumes.

Nothing inaccurate about it.

 

I wonder how that lead ballooned to 11...hmm...2 min prior we were only down by 4. TO's and our predictable offense killed us.

 

If the losing continues, we might as well develop our players. Play more Anderson, Dmo, and Jones.
