ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 1/30/2013

Exactly, why was Douglas in the game when Denver went on a 13-0 run? The was no one running the offense.

 

Oh okay, I read you wrong, thought you meant Harden wasn't in when they actually added onto the lead.

 

Lin was driving, scoring, passing, taking charge, making three's..
well ok one three. Lin was like everywhere.

 

I watch EVERY Rockets game

 

Douglas made a dumb foul near the end of the 3rd. Followed by another dumb TO by Parsons which sparked our collapse.

Give Lin props for going beast and scoring 13 in the last quarter but that didn't save us. I would like to hear what the coaching staff have to say post-game.

 

I think the turning point in the game was when coaching kept Douglas in too long, and allowed Miller to slowly take over the flow. Douglas was not involving his teammates, and ball distribution went dry. There’s no reason for Douglas to have more FG attempts at that point than even Harden. It didn’t help at that point either that Gallinari got hot and Houston’s players were basically off kilter playing individual ball.

Lin was doing a great job facilitating ball movement and pace for the team, but they brought him back in too late. He was also doing a great job on Lawson the whole game. It was obvious how he could affect the flow because he helped with a big push in the 4th, and tried his best to get the team back. This isn’t the first time that you see all of a sudden Lin make these bursts (very reminiscent of NYK) after the team gets away from a game and coaching hurriedly puts him back in. I have a feeling coaching knows what Lin can do, but keeps a cap on him. It is obvious they let him loose in the 4th to try to get back into the game, but it was too little too late. Houston could have won this game. I rarely blame coaching, but in this case I think they did not make the right decision late in the 3rd and into the early 4th.

I thought Andre Miller was the key to the Nuggets win in that little stretch. Karl did a good job keeping him in.

 

HOF here guys.

 

LOL this.

 

Whatever James "The Turnover Machine" Harden is averaging in assists, at least half of them are assists to the other team.

 

Trolllalala.

 

Thank you, the win was within grasp... It was bad omen when Parsons fell down.

 

That is so clear clue, but not for the coatches. They are Lin haters.
I thought they did a good stratege in Uta, and Lin played so well on both ends.
Now I think just Lin played hard and reward from it. Coatches donot have patience to learn how to use Lin in critical.

 

Wow when the usually even keeled torocon is fired up like this, you know McFail failed!!!

 

you forgot that les wanted lin just because he attracts the asians

 

Lin wasnt perfect in the 4th but he was the best rocket by a mile....hes playin really well and if this was a fu moment for him then great....bring it. if he can do that every 4th quarter he would be LINSANE

 

Uh, ok, and what does that have to do with Harden? Harden makes many turnovers when he is hacked going to the rim with no foul call. He also makes passing turnovers. And Lin commits turnovers like the "ugly" ones you describe. Don't see your point man, both of them commit A LOT of the same kinds of turnovers.

 

the rockets got out coach by George Karl. Bad substitution , rotation. Harden tries to do to much and turnover.

Looks like the rockets went back to musical chair pg .

Jeremy Lin don't deserve this coaching staff.

 

We are one decent coach away from being a legit team.

 

we lose because of the coach,poor decison on the 4 q

 

play more 2pat tonight, damn this guy is beasting, and morris sucks. bring back lin ealier in Q4, leave lin or harden at least one of them on the court!!! Is that damn hard to be a just ok couch???
