Man, I ain't gonna lie. That was a bad performance by the team, especially Lin. Lin was horrible. What was he thinking. I changed my mind about Lin. Should've kept Dragic. End of story. I don't see this "Linsanity" fluke thing working out for us
Really???? I'm a rockets fan. Not a Lin fan. I don't give two ****s who does what I games as long as we win. I will say this... Harden is our star. He's our only star. He will be our star for the next 5+ years. LOFs need to understand that our they can **** off
Well at least he made shots when it counted Ok Lin sucked, bev sucked, rockets lost. Time to move on, on to the next one
I bet the coaching staff and the players are pissed of morey trading Patt and Morris. Our PF spot sucks ass and the rockets rely more on Harden, Delfino, and Parsons even more now.
he just doesnt bring the same intensity to the defensive end. He's young, it'll probably change as he becomes a more complete player.
honestly whether he plays D or not i dont care when hes scoring 35+ points someone has to cover for him on D because hes exerting all his energy on offense thats why beverley is a better combo guard with harden he hustles with energy , helps and defends . beverley is not there to score , just to defend , lin is a mess i cant take watching him dribble around the 15ft range in circles this is the nba not rucker park
This. There was along stretch where harden was on dragic. He wasnt on Dudley very often at all. Only thing to get on harden about was the turnovers. He has been getting better, but 8 is tough to swallow. And I just love the dismissal by LOF of dragic off this 1 game. Hilarious
Yeah but don't criticize him or the Lin-haters will tell you you're trying to 'deflect' the blame from Lin lol
I'd rather see T-Jo over Smith and Anderson instead of Garcia. I know Garcia is a veteran but Anderson has shown more during his playing time with the Rockets to me.
Disagree. He fails to box out multiple times a game, leading to inexcusable rebounds. But worse, sometimes it is almost like he lets his man dribble past him just so he can try and get the reach around steal. This leads to bad rotations, open shots, offensive rebound opportunities, etc. I'm not saying he's the sole reason for our defense being bad, but he's definitely part of the problem.
ohh come on, lin made the shots he needed vs golden state and people are still on here chirping about how he "almost" lost the game. YOu're right though, onto the next. THey need to rebound a lot better, and that means finding a PF who can grab some in the off-season. Heck look at the NBDL stats and just sign the top rebounder.
Playing lock down defense is exhausting. Especially when you play the leagues #1 offensive pace which directly translates to more defensive possessions as well. There's a reason why 95% of the leagues' best defenders are specialists and not complete players. Lebron is just a physical freak and is motivated to top Jordan by career's end.
