ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 2/12/2013

We are averaging about 107 points a game, points are the least of our problems.

 

That's we should not trade him. if we trade him, who will yell at Mchale? :grin:

 

If by floor game you mean orchestrating the offense/being a floor general, then I think he might already be the better one, although very inconsistent. You see him sometimes looking like he has no idea what he's doing and sometimes looking like CP3, but he will learn. People sometimes call him a true point guard or a natural floor general because he's shown flashes of brilliance in that role, but he's really not, not yet anyways. He played shooting guard at Harvard and has always had a strong scoring instinct, point guard is really an unnatural position for him. He's even talked about his struggles learning to play point guard. His handles are a problem too, and we saw some of that tonight. But he does have some good skills (above average court vision,passing) for that role. We'll see as he improves.

 

Asik has actually shown some nice moves as well. I've seen him make short bank shots and post up with some hook moves. The Rockets offense doesn't utilize him enough offensively but he probably doesn't have enough stamina to play spectacular defense and take more of the offensive load.

 

Yeah, that Parsons is a real chauvinist pig. :grin:

 

yea, I guess you are right. I forgot our lead and the clock. I thought it was strange for him to do that. He is not the type that likes the ball 'sticky'. All good, his perfect image in my mind hasn't changed.

 

I think Omer is my favorite Rocket.

 

Bromance of the 3 Rockets, and their jolly band.

 

That's the key thing, of course. But I'm not certain we'd score more if we had a high scoring center.

 

Agreed. Chandler is a baller and has what "winners" have. An unselfish, all-around game, doing whatever it takes to help us win. He is awesome all around.

 

Or a damn good trade piece...

 

@luzyanglin

Looks like a ton of people stayed for the Jeremy Lin Q&A after the game, like 1/5 of the stadium, that's impressive. Bay area love for JLin.


Maybe that's why Oracle Arena didn't seem as rowdy as usual ?

 

That young run n gun, Harden, Parsons, Lin nucleus is gonna be awesome.
Love Asik. He needs help down there rebounding and defending.
Lin really needs to work on his lateral movement and Harden's gotta pay more attention on the defensive end, cuz that's where our issues lie. Defense.

 

and add 3) BBIQ

I think he's good. I just don't think he's THAT good.

 

I thought handle is something you can learn and develop over time. No?

 

u thout wrong

 

Houston is so much better than GSW it isn't even funny. I think we could take them in a series.

 

The power of Lin. :grin:

 

I'm sure it has already been mention but I really liked Morris driving aggressively towards the hoop and slamming it home. That's something Patterson has been doing lately too.

 

Rockets don't have a real issue rebounding. They out rebounded GSW tonight and they are around 10th in the league. Harden helps out a lot rebounding but Parsons and Patterson need to fight more on the boards.
