Must be a typical LOF. Only follows Lin and doesn't care about the rest of the team. Just so you don't embarrass yourself again, Smith is in rhe Dleague right now
Three or four straight drives by Harden where he gets absolutely demolished; no foul. **** these refs. Hope Sacramento loses their team.
i don't know where you got hip check. i didn't see. only thing i saw is lin used his body to prevent thomas to drive around him. it is a typical way used by many defenders. if it were a foul, every player would be out in 5 min.
No, he played a poor game. There was no rhythm to the team or direction with Beverley in the 4th. Still, not his fault that he was thrust into a situation beyond what is reasonable. Beverley is a rookie and should only get spot minutes. Unfortunately the Rockets have no depth or bench. Something to consider; if Harden or Asik or Lin or Parsons or Patterson get hurt for more than 5-6 games the Rockets are toast as far as the playoffs go. Can you imagine the Rockets with Harden out? Imagine the defense with Asik out?
This is where McHale's lack of coaching experience got exposed. He should of had Bev play the PG, Lin the SG, and Harden the SF in order to protect Lin from getting the 6th foul. SMH
So Lin was 1/1 from 3. I don't know whether he found his shot or not. But when the whole team is shooting poorly from the 3, I don't mind him shooting more.
Parsons' shooting is off tonight 2-12 with 5pts and we felt the impact. All other players' numbers are relatively normal. That just shows how important Parson's score is to us.
Meh. This loss wasn't on any individual. Combination of factors. -Dodgy rebounding. Sac got 16 offensive rebounds and out rebounded us 46 to 43. -Free throws. Sac made 26/27 FT's, the Rockets made 13/17. -Parsons had a terrible shooting night in general (2/12) -Poor shooting from the 3 point line by multiple players. Parsons 0/6, Harden 2/7, Delfino 3/9, Beverly 0/2 ... 30.3% (10/33) -Hot shooting from the 3 point line by Sac. 55% (11/20) -Road reffing. More than a few no-calls and ticky tack calls on the Rockets. -3 point foul with the score tied (bad timing Harden) -Turnovers. Asik (3) and Harden (4) Team shot 49.4%. Decent rate but the 3's and FT's killed us. Sacramento shot great from 3 and made almost every single FT. The Kings played one of their best games, got some calls and hustled. The Rockets played a decent game but made lots of little errors that added up. Toss in the poor 3 point shooting and impact of dodgy calls/no calls and you get tonight's game. Not too worried about it. It happens to the best teams. Just gotta hope they're fired up and ready for the GSW and Clipper games.
