Rox lost this game because the Rox allowed too many offensive rebounds - 16. That's gotta be the most Rox have allowed all season.
That's what a hip check is. You can't impede their progress unless you beat them to a spot. Thomas was past Lin and Jeremy tried to force him to take a longer path to the hoop. Easy foul call. I like Jeremy but he's gotta just let that go and try to get him from behind.
Or he could've just had someone else (Harden maybe) defending Thomas so Lin wouldn't pickup the last foul so quickly, because you KNEW he was going to shoot the ball
You're wrong. Sac-town came to play; we didn't. Simple as that. "Rockets played a decent game"? What game were you watching? I saw a team that lack focus and heart. Lack physicality and fight. Soft soft soft. Slow. Unfocused.
Because his dad lost a bet with his friend AGAINST the Pistons. His dad was a Lakers fan, he lost the bet and had to name his son Isaiah. Kind of funny if true
There's no way to really protect Lin. He just needs to play extremely cautious. The stupid part is fans were getting upset that Lin was on the bench with 5 fouls.
Parson's suckin 2nite but whatever happened to let shooters shoot their way out of slumps he does it with Harden ONLY everyone else bench
Man everyone needs to chill out. We know exactly where we are deficient. Lack of front court depth. It will be rectified when we upgrade our personnel and not before. No need to fret about it. Chuck Hayes would fit our need perfectly. I wonder if the Kings would be interested in trading him.
Wouldn't say 111 points in regulation is not coming to play. We just didn't have one of our better games all around.
When Lin left for the first time in the 4th, they were still up by 8, When he came back in the lead was down to 1. Beverley played well tonight, and so did Lin, it's neither of their faults.
The Rockets normally do well at rebounding. This wasn't a lack of personnel. It was a lack of heart and cold shooting. Not to mention our idiot players kept cheating off the shooters and leaving them WIDE OPEN.
Yeah. Waited all day to see the Rox and Lin/Harden play. And get this sh**. Fouls just ruin the game. I'd be okay with only hard hacks being called fouls, and none of this tick-tacky bs. Stern was upset the Spurs rested starters for a game, well, that's the same outcome with these bs fouls. The best players are denied crunch-time, and the fans lose out. I hope Bavetta and his whole crew gets fired.
111 points means sh#t if you turn the ball over, don't rebound, don't play with urgency and give your hungrier opponent 2nd chance opportunities to score. Losing happens, but when it's because you don't play with heart, that's bullsh#t
delfine-oh is like cilantro. In small perfect amounts, he is awesome. But too much, when his shot isn't falling, you just want to spit it out..that's what nm.
