ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/16/2013

I apologise about my poor grammar and spelling at the moment, I'm not proof reading. I'm too sad/angry/disappointed we lost for that.

 

Seems like the Spurs and Mavs have the Rockets number and they are older and Rockets can't beat them. I hope one of these seasons the Rockets return the favor but I am been saying that for years.

 

Your highest paid player needs to be held accountable. No one in their right mind can tell me Jeremy Lin has been good this year. Parsons is making under a mil btw. I have faith Jeremy will get better and he has the tools to do so, but given his starting spot and contract, certain expectations are warranted. I don't see how you can be mad at James Harden or even have him in the same discussion, he is scoring at a very efficient rate and a league leader in points. Yes he had a bad game...20/8/7. If that's bad, he's probably pretty good. At least he's consistant. If you don't believe me, consider the fact that he broke the rockets 25ppg streak and is still on a 20ppg streak. WTF has Jeremy Lin done consistently except miss shots and turn the ball over?

 

I'm hoping to get Milsap so we don't have to free Dmo.

 

Dear lord, it was Lin and Harden PnR got us back in the forth, yes, screen every single possession.

 

i would have had patterson out there on dirk.
at least he hit a three tonight.

 

dmo will be free on another team

 

She/he meant we outscored the Mavs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters.

 

He wasn't put in the position in NY initially and he still was agressive..

Stop making excuses man, Lin can play like that whenever he wants. He can call for a pick whenever he wants, and I hope he starts doing it more. He can be a good young player if he just plays with more confidence like he did in the 4th quarter tonight.

 

You will never understand it unless you harbor some unnatural hate towards Lin.
The same people who blame Lin for this loss for whatever reason, will come around later tonight or tomorrow and tell the rest of us that there are no Lin haters, just Lin-fan haters.

Yet that's clearly untrue because they are blaming Lin for the loss tonight. Oh well, it's what it is cos Lin is the polarizing guy he is.

 

I've seen Lin call for picks plenty of times, he doesn't get them most of the time....

 

Yes, he is fast. And yes he's capable of getting past his defender. So is a large chunk of the NBA, that doesn't mean they do it regularly and that they shouldn't use a pnr. Especially with harden where they can put another guard in a position they really aren't used to.

 

Harden gets criticism for iso plays, but come on. With Asik clogging the paint how else are we supposed to score?

Teams have adjusted to us by ignoring our outside threats and crowding the pa int.

 

SO SO SO SO TRUE. PNR for Lin and he will get 20 every game.

 

Didn't think it was every single possession, but I'd have to re-watch it. Regardless, my point still stands about wanting Lin to play with the same agressiveness that he had in the 4th quarter tonight, all the time. There's no reason why he can't, and it's ridiculous to blame the coaches for Lin not playing well most of this season.

 

It's true, he calls for the pick and his teammates are like, "Nah man, no way"

 

Go Cavs go!!!

It's pathetic that I'm scoreboard watching and we're not even mid-way through the season lol...

 

Oh no I'm not mad at Harden at all (Since look what he got Rockets so far) Though I was really disappointed at Harden tonight he was relying on foul call to much at this game. Yeah Jeremy Lin has not been consistent but has shown potential especially Rockets vs Spurs where James was out because of injury. But is it always Lin's fault when they lose? IMO it's not always his faul.

 

fault*

 

Exactly. We need someone else that can take some of the attention away from Harden so he isn't always double and triple teamed.

I hope you are watching, Morey.
