Yeah I think Im giving him too much credit lol. Ok Ricky, you're right, Harden played elite defense tonight, and his turnovers actually helped us. Jeremy played terrible defense on Jennings, even let him get the winning shot. T-Rob will also start over DMo next game.
They somehow thought a one year rental of Kmart was better than having a superstar around. Maybe they hate beards. Can't be that they are morons.
Man, I was really upset ! upset!!! No excuse, no excuse at all. From McHale to all the players, every one deserves a blame. Ok, I give Asik a break since it's his career rebounds night. Ok, try to look for some bright spots. How about that behind the back pass to Parsons by Lin? niiice. Now he finally is able to make all those fancy passes: no-look pass, check; between the leg pass (Nets Lopez, remember? ), check, behind the back pass, check; laser beam pass, check. What other type of passes he is still missing? can't think of any right now.
True. To the Rockets, it's only 8m per year. But to other teams, it's 15m on that 3rd year. Lin has to be playing superb in order to get a team to want to take on that contract. But if he's playing that good, then I don't know why the Rockets would want to get rid of him.
Everybody on this team plays poor defense it's not just Harden... Who was holding the man who hit the game winning shot.
his last year salary only counts 8+ mil to the cap. his contract really means 8+ mil each year for 3 years.
If you are as good as James Harden, sure. I wonder if I love James harden because of his talent or just love him for his 80 million bucks. :grin:
Yea, Lin really brought his offensive game and Chandler was terrific Donatas is all good in my book. Did well for his first time starting.
When Lin scores less than 15 we have a below .5 win rate, when he scores more we have a .7+ win rate. I blame Lin.
Lin stands in the corner to draw away defenders from team mates. Lin has awful FG% Why guard Lin at all when the threats are in other places?
btw, asik played the good defense. lin played good d. parson played good d most game but the last play.
Anybody wonder why no-bodies like Ilyasova and Dunleavy Jr. have season high and career nights vs. the Rockets ?
Anderson needs some of Delfino's minutes. Once Delfino becomes Del-bricko he loses his mind. Anderson in addition to being a good shooter is a very willing passer, can create off the dribble, defend, and is very strong.
Harden sure as hell didn't play elite defense, but no one on the team does other than Asik. The Rockets concept of defense is to watch their man blow by them and hope someone else picks them up. Lin didn't play terrible defense, but he had little overall impact on the game. Parsons was just bad... And.. If we lost the game, good chance Harden didn't play well.
