ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Timberwolves 2/10/2014

Possibly, but both Harden and Howard are consistently effective on the offensive side.

 

He at least WATCHED the game..

 

Personally, the way he drove to the basket and how he continued to move even without the ball were what made him have a great game. The entire starting unit scored in double figures, thanks in part to Lin.

 

So is everything good. He will always get the most praise or the most criticism.

 

Can't judge Love too harshly. He really has no help. Guys like Griffin, Aldridge have players around them like Batum, Lillard, CP3, Jamal Crawford, etc. that impact the game and can also score. Wolves have who? Shved?

Rubio can dish but is useless as a scorer, lots of teams sag off him and pack the inside making things harder for Love.

 

I agree Lin at least watched the game.

 

He's got the hops to dunk and speed to get there but not the hand size to have control over the ball. Lin had off the charts athleticism tests but can't finish with authority for a reason.

 

and yet Kevin Love has a standing reach of 8'10, while Blake Griffin is 8'9.


you're point about him being undersized is meaningless, unless you play basketball with the top of your head.

 

Seems lin only had one to with 7 assist. Not bad.

 

yes I would rather people just say the bench sucked... instead of singling out Lin

his performance was nothing to talk about tonight... but not much different

to how below average the bench played today

if were going to dissect Lin he started to play better in the fourth when he was allowed to dominate the ball

 

Doesn't Lin have the highest FG% at the rim for PGs?

 

Those undersized Kentucky power forwards, sooner or later they all turn into Antoine Walker :grin:

 

Harden is a turnover God. lol. No one argues that. He's terrible at defense, team defense, team offense, turnovers, and shooting the three.

But he can score at will. Is clutch. Is confident. And he has the beard of a forty five year old pirate who fell asleep face down in a puddle of rogaine. So it all evens out.

 

Hand size has nothing to do with anything.

 

It's a dog fight for 6-8 seed with .5 games difference.
We are sitting tight and looking upward with 4 games above 6th and just 1.5 games to catch POR.

 

Dude, you're apparently blind.

 

Are you trolling? Lin had 1 TO. Harden had 4. Everyone else 0, 1 or 2.

Something else - TJones had zero rebounds.

 

Off of layups but when do you see him finish with a dunk in traffic the way Lilliard, Westbrook, and when Rose was healthy could?

 

He had 1 TO all game, btw.

 

I don't think Harden played "bad" per se, we couldn't have won without his 19 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, and he made all his free throws. Having said that, looks like he was playing the game differently from the rest of the team and we moved the ball better when he's out. He did play 32+ minutes.

Jeremy is a Jeremy-of-all-trades. When his shots are not falling (he missed only 5 shots tonight ), he contributed big in many other ways. No hate is warranted.
