ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 3/27/2013

At least I'm saying something in this thread. Why haven't you moved on? To post this?

 

Why Mchale always has problems with his PGs????

 

Who did I point a finger at? in fact, I'm say "Quit pointing fingers at the coach and his substitutions. We played the Pacers after substitutions started."

LOL the Pacers had a four-point lead and "this game was even at that point." I don't need to say more to that.

Yes, thanks for rebutting New's post for me. We outplayed them from that point in the sense that they scored 81 and we scored 82. We beat them over the last 42 minutes of the game, but lost the first six.

 

He is a horrible coach. The game was winnable but lost by the coach. We were within 5/6 points and Lin had a great 3rd quarter stealing, assisting and scoring but Lin got benched again and didn't get a chance to play with Smith, Trob and even Beverley, who he has great chemistry with. I love Harden but he was cold all game long and played almost the whole game.

 

Very unhappy with McHale last night

 

QUOTABLE III: "[Harden] has all the weapons to get his own shot and create for others. If you make it tough for him early on, he's going to try to make it to where he can get his own still and get his numbers, and that kind of will take you out of the game. Tonight, that's what I tried to do."
-- George on his defensive gameplan against Harden.

 

I agreed.

Lin needs to learn that 1 of 10 for 10 points is the same as 5 of 5 for 10 points. Just throw the freaking ball up when you already in the paint. So what if it is a miss or got blocked.

As for McHale, he is a terrible coach and terrible at developing players. Putting Lin aside and let's talk about Harden and Parson, is he going to run them to the ground? 40+ minutes every night?!? Give them a freaking break.

 

What are you talking about?

The Rockets have won 8 of their last 12 games, and they have won 18 of their last 29 games. Do you really expect the Rockets to perform better than this? And if you do, then why? The Pacers are a better team than the Rockets, and a loss was not unexpected by knowledgeable fans.

YOU NEED TO WAKE UP. THE ROCKETS HAVE PERFORMED VERY WELL THIS YEAR.

 

every heard of the word regression ? U improve , then u regress sometimes. It happens.

 

You are wrong about Woodson. Lin played 7 games under Woodson, 6W 1L. 4 of those were blowouts - 3W 1L i.e. Lin & rest of the starters basically played only 3 quarters for these games.

In the only 1 close game (note: the other 2 non-blowout games were not really close) which was against the Sixers, Lin shot poorly for the 1st 3 quarters going 1/11. Woodson had Baron Davies (he was healthy at that time), Iman Shumpert & Mike Bibby as backup pgs (sorry Toney Douglas didn't get any love from Dantoni nor Woodson), instead he chose to play Lin the entire 4th Q. Lin came out big in the 4th Q & scored 16pts to help the Knicks win that game. In the post game interview, Woodson said that despite Lin's poor performance in the 1st 3 quarters, he trusted Lin & "put the ball in his (Lin's) hands at the end of the (close) game." Woodson could have benched Lin & played BD or even Mike Bibby (Woodson's pg at Hawk), instead he chose to stick with Lin & it paid off. Oh btw, Woodson also had the choice to go with Melo or Amare to close out that game, but he chose Lin.

 

lol i thought he was redeeming himself on the 3rd. I expect the coach to fair with his hot hand philosophy . Bench when he sucks and stay on when he performs.

 

is this not finger pointing??????????????????????????????????

we all know what you mean.

 

Once McHale started making substitutions, we played the Pacers to a draw. That's a fact, which you can see in the play-by-play. Quit complaining about McHale, unless you're upset with his lineup before he started making substitutions.

 

sorry BEV has to play alot better to deserve that sort of minutes taken away from Lin.

 

ya the greg smith/trob greg smith/asik combo worked really well. we just needed better production from our 3 spot...delfino and parsons didn't have stellar games

 

To a draw? Did we win the game last night with McHale substitutions?

 

Wow. That's a losing attitude right there.

 

You really are acting like an A-hole. I am seriously.

 

I am saying the exact same thing as you.

 

Fixed.
