I know this is a let down but losing by 3 to the defending champs with Lebron beasting and the fact that your assistant coach is calling the plays makes me hopeful.
Refs cost us this win..bs tip in at halftime...bs call on Bosh...bs loose ball foul on Morris..Phantom call after phantom call...
THis is true. I don't think LIn did anything in the 4th quarter. He was just not involved at all. perhaps that is why he was so cold. but seeing how afraid he was to take a shot in the game... i think he just isn't that confident anymore.
We were only down by 1. And good point, we didn't really need the 3 to get the lead. But the missed box-out on Bosh after Wade missed both FTs was devastating.
Lol, yeah, I'm happy with the effort. Unfortunately I don't think we can play this good consistently, but we've got an idea of how good this young team can be.
He pretty much forgot about Asik on the Bosh-rebound. That's almost as bad as Harden-ball and Jairemy Lin.
Just a note... Statistics from Lin from 2011/12... Catch and shoot jumpers - 33% Off the Dribble - 47.9% (3rd among PG's) Passing to Lin at the 3 point line on a catch and shoot is the lowest percentage shot for Lin. It shouldn't surprise anyone.
totally agree 1,too much iso ball ,it is easy for the heat to defense 2,no Asik on court 3,lin's air ball
Lin was wide open. He MUST take the shot. So it was a bad miss, stupid to discredit somebody for 1 miss.
Yeah, when you take a step back it was nice to see them compete with the world champs. Sucks though that they couldn't pull it out.
Harden should be taking last minute shots. I don't fault him for his decision making. If not Harden, who else should take the last shot? Air-ball Lin? Parsons? Patterson? Come on! If I was Harden, I wouldn't trust Lin with the last shot of the game. I'd look for Parsons or Delfino before I pass to Lin.
Harden moved the ball more in this game then the previous games and we have seen some success. It's unfortunate that he went back to his old self in the final minutes. Maybe he is feeling the pressure to score more points. He doesn't seem to be a selfish player.
