    We need both James ISOs and Jeremy's play making. Jeremy sets up the tempo in the 1st quarter, moving the ball to get everybody involved, then James ISOs. The defense will be very hard to guard either guard, and Dwight will get all the rebounds.

    I don't get Houston's PNR defense with Howard. Howard is fast enough to show hard and recover to his man, but they have him hanging near the key. The opposing pg, Wroten tonight, just used the screen set by Howard's man and attacked. There was nothing Beverley could do to recover.

    Lin wasn't on him the whole time, and let's be honest, Anderson was just crazy tonight, hitting tough shot after tough shot.

    There is no excuse for Anderson scoring 36 points. The Rockets made a lot of bad mistakes all game but Anderson's 36 points is hard to forgive. He might not score that many points the rest of the year.:mad::mad:

    Yeah, it was obvious he was gassed even before he started to miss shots. Agree on the second guessing of coach.

    when the season started I thought wow our starting unit is great and our bench is probably better than most starting units of other teams. I still haven't seen smith, dmo asik only payed 4 min along with brooks. we have like 3 players who show up to play every game Lin Harden Dwight and half Parsons thats it. Bev made a couple of great defensive plays but otherwise a non factor

    This is still pissing me off.

    We would won the game if we just fouled. Unless we believe that Beverly or Lin would have missed those FTs...

    Who would you have liked to have seen McHale start instead of Lin and Beverley? 6'0" Brooks? Or huge offensive liability Brewer?... He started his best two available guards.

    The problem is that we had a foul to give. You must use it and let the other team inbound again. Then you can set your defense again.

    Lin is not at Harden's level on offense, and he is too short for a SG position. Stop putting Lin against Harden. Lin should play PG, and Mchale should reduce Harden's minutes so that Harden could have the energy to play at both ends.

    Would you like cyborg Harden to cover Anderson? Would you rather Lin guard the even taller Wrotten? Should Lin have just not started?

    Harden needs to stop ball watching so much. First JJ reddick and NOW James Anderson goes off for 36 on him.

    Haren no D in his name!
