ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/29/2014

Agreed. Blame McHale for the lack of inbounds plays, but fouling 3-point shooters are on the boneheaded players.

 

I honestly think in a normal PG role on another team Lin could easily be an 18-8 guy or better. These past 2 games minus James he's gotten 18-8 and now 18-7 and that's with him playing off ball a good amount and running few PnRs.

 

We should have swept this team 4-0 if you think about it. Mchale does not have any control or structure with this team... I don't know what the F or how the F Lin gets on Dirk defensively... DON'T SWITCH Dammit!!!

 

I'm still shaking lol

Go Rockets!

 

Never a dull moment.

Go Rockets.

 

That's because D-mo said ALL YOUR REBOUNDS ARE BELONG TO ME LOL

 

That dumbass foul at the end almost cost the game but it was a good night nonetheless.

 

He is trying to do too much including that unnecessary foul,

 

That was so close. But a win is a win!

Beverley is known for his low TOs, but in this game he uncharacteristically coughed up 5…one was just a total mental lapse where he passed it backcourt after crossing the halfcourt line. But, overall Houston’s guards outplayed the Mavs’ guards by a big margin. Bev & Lin did a great job guarding Calderon & Ellis, and in the latter half of the 4th did great together. DMo had a big impact in this game, providing good defense and getting a double double. He had a huge impact.

I think one of the worries about Lin was that he wouldn’t play well without being the focal point of the offense, but he’s shown again in this game that he can play alongside the stars of the team. He had another game great. I do think though, that coaching needs to be more consistent with his minutes. Stop playing yo-yo with him just because he misses a few shots, gets a few TOs, or gets picked off on screens here and there. I think he’s improved on all of these categories, and playing yo-yo with him only contributes to his game being inconsistent.

Really nice distribution of shots & points; everyone contributed to this game. Two wins back to back against their Texas rivals. Although those Memphis losses hurt, I’m feeling better now.

Hopefully Harden heels up fast and the team finishes strong before the ASB.

 

All is good in Rockets land. Jeremy's fine. Everyone's fineee.

 

Not saying I ever want any of our guys injured - but I'm hoping that this has been a blessing in disguise and that Lin has recaptured some of that mojo that he will continue with Harden back.

 

When Harden is not on the court, jeremy should be the primary play maker.

 

Great Win finally in Dallas! Seems like Dallas can do no wrong with hitting those 3s in the last minute of the game. DMo was great and he seems to have bulked up this season. Anohter soid game by Lin, I hope this continues once Harden gets back.

 

I noticed this too. His help defense on the PnR is quite good.

 

Denver lost!

 

A happy Lin = An unstoppable Lin. Coach, please keep him happy :grin:

 

Lin is the one that gets stuck on the pick and roll everytime. I don't know why he does not fight through the pick.

 

Watch Harden comes back next game and drops like 40 points.
