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

disagree. tonight anyway.
lin had the hot hand toward the end.
harden shouldn't have hogged.

 

On the brightside, Beverley got a chance to show that he's definitely deserving of minutes and made the best of it.

Lin and Harden can get more rest now which should help tremendously...

 

sigh...

A promise is a promise. I wont watch the next 10 games.

Dw guys, good night. Its over. Love. Be at peace.

 

That pass was REALLY far away from impossible to catch.

Dead in the chest, through Parson's hands is really far from impossible. Was it too hard? It's hard to tell from the replay, however if someone hits you with a pass in the chest into your hands, you gotta catch that.

It's not like Parsons was trying to catch a pass behind him or had to stretch up or out to catch.

And the main reason the game was even close was Lin was carrying the team in the 4th quarter.

This game is so far from being on Lin it isn't even funny.

 

i really hope Mcfail knows what is "set a screen" if he does..rockets wont have this 5 str8 loss....

 

Understatement.

 

I want to see more of this aggressive Lin and less deferring to Teen Wolf.

 

Lin's pass hit Parsons on the butt?

 

harden tried. evn tho everyone other than beverley did not bring their game. still hurts tho

 

As much as I want to see Lin starting... why dont the coach experiment and let hiim come in with the 2nd unit? Harden doesnt have to worry about sharing the ball w/ Lin and just focus on his iso/penetration/kickout. Also, with this Lin's not relegated to catch and shoot.

Lin with 2nd unit will do wonders for the team imho. Let him run the show do his thing with them...

 

See ya.

 

It's frustrating to lose because of free throws.

 

Our team overall played badly. Still too reliant on Harden, and we struggle to get our players in situations to succeed.

Of course, to be expected from a young team...they need to learn from this game.

 

I hate the mavs more than any other team in the league. There, I said it.

 

This forum is unreal. Is it going to be like this until Lin is traded?

 

I am concerned about Lin's free throws though...he's only 19 out of his last 32, 59%...may mean he's getting worn down from a long NBA season.

 

worst loss of the season

 

McHale needs to see what is about his team that when they are starting to look good the team heads the other way. Win 5 in row and now lose 5 in row. He needs to play his bench more minutes instead of saying that his starters are not used to playing lots of minutes, if you know that then whe continue to play them lots of minutes.

 

!?! look at the replay, Parsons was cutting so he expected the pass and in the slow motion it went off parsons hands which were right in front of his face....nowhere near his butt. It's ok if you want to hate, but don't make stuff up.

 

I'm not saying Lin's game is perfect. He drives me crazy too when he picks up his dribble too early or leaves his feet when passing the ball. But when Harden was 5-of-23 and 1-of-8 from 3 and missed layups after layups, I would say Lin deserved some credit for at least keeping us in the game in the 4Q.
