lol the way many posters are so quick to hate/love players on our roster after every game is ridiculous.
Our rotations are whack. No chemistry whatsoever. We have too many new players and McHale doesn't know what he's doing with them. He should just stick with one group, win lose or draw. Smh at Lin today. Worst player on the court.
thank you. Finally someone acknowledges what I've been saying. Utah lost today too, so this loss isn't too bad. What I'm more worried about is the way we have been slipping. Complete wreck of an offense tonight.
Sure man, whatever story makes you feel better about yourself.... VanityHalfBlack already quoted your original post right after mine btw so I can go back and read it. But, I'll leave you to your stories... later~
You be quiet.. Some posters convince themselves that Harden is a ball hog, no defense chucker because it deflects attention away from the mediocre play of others.
Thanks raskol;-) I know you see the light. The reality is that these LOF are totally blinded... like Bieber fans. The reality is that you value a company by looking at it's assets vs liabilities. Lin does not generate value considering his contract. Morey is from MIT, guy is not stupid. He sees that Lin was signed for 3 reasons: 1. sell tickets 2. draw fouls consistently at the same rate he did in NY 3. make clutch plays guy is not increasing home attendance. Cannot draw fouls like he did before as he's slower and don't need him to make clutch plays as Harden is far superior at that. The only value brings to the equation is two fold 1. Gives Les face with when he deals with his China investments 2. Get him increased in stadium revenue thru Maxxis and other sponsors Other than this he is no better than a backup PG.
People forget that Lin has 4 fouls coming on to the fourth...and he was rotating with Marshall most of the time...people might want to know about it...there is one play where Dragic beat him off the dribble..but that's the only play I saw where he schooled Lin during the fourth quarter..the rest are because of the defensive breakdown in our part.. Lin was limited due to his fouls and he can't penetrate because of Haddadi..the guy owned the Paint....props on him for having a good game against us.. As I've said during the game..our defense was chaotic...add it up with them making their shots and we're done... And guys are not moving....Lin is drawing the defenders on him but no one is coming out or cutting the lane...all we did in the fourth are all ISO's...no ball movement at all...
What the hell happened? I missed the game. How did we manage to lose to a bad team like Phoenix on a night Harden scored 38 on 17 shots and Asik grabbed 16 boards? WTF?
Win or lose, it's the same thing from different groups with different agendas. It's tiring to read game after game. How is it not tiring to post game after game? Lin didn't play well tonight, but he isn't the main reason why we lost. Anyone notice we didn't have any PFs for this game? Playing 4v5 was why we had that horrible January. Problem #2 - lack of bench productions. 30-55 in favor of the Suns. Problem #3 - losing the fast break game. 14-32 in favor of the Suns. Problem #4 - losing the battle in the paint. 28-38 in favor of the Suns. Problem #5 - losing the foul line. 12-25 in favor of the Suns. Problem #6 - losing REBs. 39-47 in favor of the Suns. Problem #7 - losing OREB. 15-17 in favor of the Suns. This was a crappy team game. Picking on one guy sure may help your agenda but it's pretty far from the truth. But hey, it's your life. You decide what is the most productive way to spend it.
The next 7 games at home will be if the Rockets will make the playoffs or not. No excuse to at least 5-2 or 6-1.
I couldn't agree more. Harden was amazing this game. We should have won this game but you can't win them all.
