Sometimes Lin would rather play good defense and force Jennings to pass the ball to Ellis, and I tell him, "Jeremy, we're trying to win."
Feels like there's not much love (or at least communication) between McHail and Morey....based on his comments about the unexpected trade. Yup, tough position to be in.....
Same here. Too many times where he just disappears for quarters after playing well and being involved in the offense. I'd also like him to shoot more (without forcing things) even if he's missing since a lot of time someone's in the position to grab an offensive rebound. It wouldn't hurt for him to take a few of Parsons's shots.
That is so true, Jennings might have bricked if Lin did not defend him so vigorously. It's all Lin's fault for the loss.
Am I the only one who is already nervous that we could well repeat last year missing the playoffs by one or two games and that today's game and last Wizards game are gonna come back to haunt us?
I think that's what most people want to see from him, being consistently involved. It is just that there's no agreement on why he tends to camp at the corners, be it by his own decision or by design. That's another topic however. What irked me the most was that last rebound. Couldn't believe that the Bucks got that final possession.
thats what i want to know, i dont see anyone singling out Lin for a loss every game we lose. i wouldnt blame this game on lin, or anyone for that matter. we just got outhustled. simple as that.there were no blunt obvious sore thumbs to me.
Did Morey reshuffle the lineup last year? Sorry, I followed Lin here....but do know that last year's team had a similiar record at this point. I mean the Wizards been playing great and the Bucks was bound to have a win, but still these two games were super critical....meaning Rockets could have been sitting next to GS right now.
It's actually worse than that. I mean, it's one thing to stick with a mediocre model and not experiment, but it's another entire tier of stupidity altogether to experiment then not pay attention to the results and repeat the experiments ad nauseum expecting different results, just because the results go contrary to your hypothesis. Of course, McHale may very well only be the hapless lab assistant to Morey's bad lead scientist in this.
Well Parsons and Harden had a lot of turnovers. 5 and 7. But I don't think that is why we lost. 17 TO in one game is actually not that bad for this team.
I'm not. We have a superstar player in Harden that will be able to get us out of this. This is a skid that won't stand for long.
Would like to see him get 12-14 shots a night consistently and a few more when he is hot. He just seems to run the gauntlet from confident to down on himself, sometimes within the same game. Some of that is on Lin and some of it is learning a new system with new teammates. It is rough having inconsistency surrounding your point guard. I have seen Harden and McHale tell him to stay aggressive. He is already a good player that makes few mistakes, but he needs to realize he can distribute and run the offense like he is supposed to and also get himself more involved. It is like he is afraid to have a 5-15 game shooting from the field every once in awhile. The off the ball point is a valid one, but not the only reason.
I just can't get the reason why coach went back to ISO strategy no matter what happens. Lin play a decent job when he is playing pg works 1st quarter. After that, his role became carry the ball over the court again. And again we saw harden holds his 7 TOs and stupid rotations. Why do we need to repeat this **** again and again and again.
+Utah and Lakers arguably has a worse schedule than us. This is a young team and they will get this right by the end of their playoff run into next season.
They have no plays. So when they have to slow down it's just ISO, call up a big man for a pick and hope things work out.
