ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Thunder 12/29/2013

The post said Lin has his number compared to Brooks, yet Fisher has hit 1 shot and it was on Lin.

Lamb has hit all of this shots on Lin, most of them because Lin wasn't fighting hard enough to get around screens.

Since the post was a comparison, it is 100% wrong and delusional.

Reggie Jackson scored his points when the team couldn't stop anyone. His points were part of the 13-0 run.

Lin is 1-8 from the field as well as ZERO assists. He is playing like ****, accept it and stop deflecting so you can continue living in this delusional state where Lin is MJ and everyone else in red and white are scrubs in a conspiracy with us to hold him back.

 

Do you even know what playing 4 in 5 nights and 7 in 10 nights does to your body?

Sorry..i shouldn't bothered, who am I to say something...WE SUXX TRADe aLL!!!

 

4 game in 5 nights , b2b against the best team in the west at away, stop bashing the players ffs. We're only down 12 .

 

The Asik curse.

 

I am far from a fan of D-Mo, but one bad night in a gruelling schedule and he's back in the doghouse it seems. Him and Brewer just to freshen the guys up wouldn't kill us

 

Its obvious Harden is playing bad.

 

Houston only has 1 TO in the first half......bad sign?

 

You're just quoting stats without watching the game. AB is playing better offensively. But Lin is playing better defensively. AB is putting up points but he's also allowing the opposing PG to do the same thing. It's a wash right now until either AB locks down on defense or Lin lights it up offensively.

 

This team just makes my blood pressure high every game.

 

If Lin is off, he needs to play small minutes and AB needs to chuck away from 3.

 

I think they'll pick it up. Lin has 0 turnovers and needs to be more aggressive. Harden is trying to get the drive going but is getting blocked, so time for the step back mid range and then drive. Parsons is not quite in sync but may get in sync. T Jones just has tough match-ups.

The team needs to turn the ball over. As bizarre as that sounds they play better that way. They have 1 turnover and not a lot of points or flow on offense. Turn it over, stop playing so safe and they'll get better.

 

and James Harden ?

 

The only assumptions Im making are the consistencies in your posts where Lin is concerned.

No one is saying he or Harden are playing well.

But considering the CONTEXT, why do people need to take a dump on them?

For the record I've no problem benching Lin or Harden tonight or at least cutting their minutes severely. They don't have the energy. But lets not be disingenuous and pretend that it's just about tonight with the people who are dumping on Lin and Harden. It's usually the same people every time.

 

Yeah, this is what I expected. Not to start off down 13-0, but a double-digit halftime deficit doesn't surprise me at all. As long as they don't embarrass themselves like they did against the Pacers, a loss isn't a big deal(or surprise). Now if they come out Tuesday night and lay an egg against Sactown, THAT would be cause for concern.

 

Harden is definitely not playing good out there. I can't blame him though, McHale has been playing him way too many minutes. I don't care if he is young, McHale needs to find a way to lower his minutes. Morey needs to get it together as well and get us some help soon before fatigue plays a factor in the playoffs.

 

if i'm not mistaken, reggie only scored 2pts on lin...

 

Rockets can't even hit free throws tonight. Must be McHales fault

 

Not going to cut it against good teams. I noticed that while he has speed he doesn't penetrate in the same manner Brooks does. Brooks has more experience but it gets people open shots.

Lin dribbles in , turns around, takes a hard fadeaway, gives the ball up at the end of the shot clock, or turns it over. He neds to look at some game footage and fix that.

 

Thankfully he has been showing up in the fourth. Hoping for the same this game .
