Yeah tonight's loss really sucked, just because of that awesome showing in the first couple minutes. D-Mo was awesome and seemed to be the only one fighting out there. Wouldn't surprise me if became this team's leader in the future. McHale needs to solve this Harden & Lin problem Asap, stagger their minutes again if they need to. I see Harden doing alot of nothing when Lin's in control and vice versa. Need some kind of set offense occasionally since they suck moving without the ball. Going to watch a "real" fastbreak in the Nuggets,hopefully dispatch portland to get the mood up.
I have watched every Rockets game. Lin always follow his guy tight and put great effort on defence. Who do you think is better one on one defender in the team???
I'm still scratching my head as to why McHale started to sub out people when we were super hot in the 1st. Oh wait, he always does that no matter what.
Ok first of all guys don't listen this that toll Lin (like the he doesn't play defense comments), it's bad enough we lost we don't need a Lin war. Horrible rebounding at the end, Ellis had an extremely lucky shot I was looking at The GSW box score and I noticed curry played every single minute of the game. I dont think I've ever seen someone do that
Lin played well down the stretch. I am not sure why the criticism. Parsons really only screwed up badly on the last play. He's always been a bit of a turnover machine. We lost this game because of the new guys and because Harden was clearly not at 100%. And we lost this game because we shot horribly from the free-throw line. I am surprised we only lost by 3
WOW, how much do you have to hate Lin to even say that? He shut fricken Jennings down and you say he killed us down the stretch.. really?
well everyone lost that we are chasing or are chasing the Rockets. This loss doesn't mean much. back to where we started. Rockets in frustrating Limbo. We gotta get outta this 8th spot!
This team needs a legit PG. Lin's good games a way too far in between, the sad thing is even with how mediocre tonight's game was for him.. it was one of his better half's on the season. We didn't sign the guy to just be some role player, hell he's barely even that. We signed him to score and assist and make plays when the team is in a lull. He isn't doing that. He was supposed to be one of the top players on this team (ahead of Parsons and Asik), he has not been that. Too many peaks and valleys, It's like he's allergic to Harden's beard or something, because he rarely goes off with Harden on the court.
This sums it up pretty well. Its simply called flow and momentum. The Bucks managed to get their rythm going when the early lead was lost. It doesn't matter how many points you are down in the 1st quarter when you know you have the bullets to come back in another 3 quarters. I'm sure other teams that were up against us such as OKC felt the same when we won the last game. The problem with tonight's game was simply too many turnovers that we wish didn't happen and missed 3's to top it off. Harden seemed to disappear in the later quarters and we wonder if it's because of the knee. Parson's handling the ball? Don't get me started, but he had a decent game nonethless. Omer and Dmo sure looked good out there tonight and gives us an inkling into the future. Delfino is just being Delfino, and that's why he's not the starting 5. He's a streaky shooter, he does his job or he doesn't and we've seen that all season long. At the end of the day, it was close, we as a team hit the season average in points and we also allowed about the season average in points. Statistics don't lie. As a whole we've had worse games with more TO's and won. We've also had it the other way round. Lastly, when this season started no one expected us to even come close to the playoffs to begin with. As much as I would love to see us make the playoffs (trade or no trade), i rather we build a solid foundation this year and scare the **** out of our opponents next year than get into the playoff's mediocre and then screaming all over again when we get knocked out regardless of our seed position. Cheers guys, just another game and unto the next. Go Rockets!!
Harden let Redick fake him out of his shoes, couldn't stay on Ellis, couldn't guard Mbah Moute in the post, and let MIKE DUNLEAVY dribble past him with a spin move. He should prob work on his D.
