ling shoots better without the ball

 

McHale: "We don't Lin to be Linsanity"

 

the rockets were down 8 when beverley left...they're down 9 now, stop being so negative.

 

Delfino is our answer? The guy is old and not hitting ****..

 

Why is Beverley not in? Delfino has been terrible today.

McHale's rotations are laughable.

 

why is lin so consistently inconsistent

 

For rookies and very young players, the "rookie wall" comes around 40 games into the season. The young guys are only used to playing 30 or 40 games a year in college and are not used to the massive increase in quantity and frequency of NBA games.

 

I'm going to quote Carl's sig:

Throw the coach down the well
so my player can be free

 

screens screens screens!!!!!!!!!!! repeat after me.. screens screens screens!!!!!!!

why the heck not coach? HUH? lol

 

he's 2-9 with 4 assists and getting paid 8 mil per year

 

Because he doesn't have "trust"

 

I'm starting to hate Lin.

 

Judging by your name you are obviously a Lin enthusiast.
This isn't Linsanity on the knicks... Your living in the past.
I think LOH are sick, and as a Rockets fan I have an interest in seeing Jeremy get better. In any case, you can't tell me with any sincerity that Jeremy Lin has been good for the Rockets organization thus far. Even more so, given the fact that he's the highest paid player on the club right now.
Someone earlier said he's criticized when he doesn't shoot and bashed when he does. Perhaps the problem is that he isn't hitting the shots you'd expect a starting point guard to make. Especially at that salary, we should expect much more from a starting point guard.
It doesn't take much to see that, you just have to open your eyes.

 

Dunno, that frustrates the hell out of me. There are games he looked like a star in the makings then there are games he played like a CBA player.

 

No, because he doesn't get screens.

 

hes an idiot!

 

Play Jeremy at the SF and bring in Beverly at the point. Move Parsons to 4 to guard Dirk and bring in Asik. Harden at shooting guard. That is a good defensive squad that can score.

 

Who cares? I haven't seen it much this season.


Jeremy Lin makess more YMCA mistakes than any supposed "good PG" that I have seen in a long, long time. He constantly picks up his dribble in horrible situations. He sets players up to fail, particularly Asik, OFTEN. And there are just far too many times when he jumps straight up in the air with absolutely nothing to do.

The point guard is a position of future upgrade. Pretty much every position other than SG is in the same situation. Jeremy is NOT a unique snowflake. He is average. Let's face it.

 

Why would you bench Beverly?...he was the only one keeping us in the game! Harden & Lin have been terrible!!

 

I've finally understood. Lin is not a person, he's an enigma. God sent him to test us.
