ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 1/25/2014

If the guard hesitates to take the midrange jumper or is a poor shooter the pick n roll is useless

 

This is a good point - anyone have TJ's stats with Bev vs Lin starting? He definitely seemed way more active in those games in general.

 

Thank you for pointing out more of Worrell's and Bullard's abnormal and unusual comments or assessments on our players' on court performance.

It seems to me that they have been doing this recently with an agenda yet unclear to us. It however doesn't take a psychic to know something is cooking.

 

To add salt on injury.

Is Lin trying to tank or is he secretly injured. How has he been playing with so little effort these last few games?

 

natural state of mind. look at lowry in houston in his last month here or lowry when he was watching IsoGay play set in Toronto. Or gasol under mike brown. It's like he is on prozac when he is on the court now just standing around at a spot.

 

Amazing how Lin went from being 6MOTY candidate at the beginning of the season to the 8th man off the bench. McHale subs in DMo and Casspi before him.

Part of it is Lin's inconsistency, but also we need a coach who knows how to make the most of our players.

 

He is secretly injured, mentally that is. At this rate, he should not even play. Brooks is just as more productive than him at this time.

 

You lie. Clutch article clearly showed the lineup with Bev is better, which included T-Jones.

 

So...just to be clear. $16M of our cap money that we used to sign Lin and Asik last year is now useless? How the hell did we take one step up (Howard) and 2 steps down. Okay, maybe three steps up and 1 step down.

 

From the last 2 games, doesn't seem anyone in the team is a good fit for McHale's offense.

 

He said Tjones is playing better with Lin and clutch is playing better with Bev. Could it be that Tjones is better with Lin but others are worse with Lin?

I do not see how you can arrive at the conclusion that he LIED. Unless you do not know what clutch actually wrote.

Fixed.

 

He was never the six man to begin with. A lot of people are saying Lin will be better off coming of the bench because he will be used as a six man. A few people including me have been saying from the beginning that there is NO six man on this team. It is just fairy tale made up on this forum and of course the reality is different.

 

T. Jones has been pretty invisible since coming back from injury. Hoping it's that the Grizz are a bad matchup for him and nothing more serious.

 

He was still limping yesterday and is still hurt.

 

T-Jones plays majority of his minutes with the starters.

 

True, true but the reality of the situation is this: Nothing definitive is going to be known until we see how this team performs in the crucible of the playoffs. Until then, all of this is mere speculation. Now I get why those who may have ODed on the red koolaid back in October would be feeling some angst right now. After all, wasn't the acquisition of Howard supposed to catapult the Rox to an NBA title? The truth of the matter lies somewhere in between, I suppose.
