ClutchFans Game Thread: Pacers @ Rockets 3/27/2013

Who are you to represent. You're just another LOF kool-aid boy.

 

Keep it up Random Fa... I mean Rockets_Pride..

 

You act like this is Lin's fan site. This is the Rockets fan site. We don't prop up one player called Lin here and we don't hate on every player or coach not name Lin.

 

GTFOH LOF.

 

Except for the fact that Lin wasn't 6-24. Lin was 3-6.

I would take 3-6 over 6-24 anyday, Mr. LOH.

It wouldn't matter to me who scored it. Its just more efficient.

 

Why can't Lin get traded... It doesn't need to be a nasty divorce for us... An amicable split, we shake hands... Call it a "spur of the moment" mistake... Maybe we can still be friends and look back on this someday and laugh.

 

You lump the players and coaches together. OK. I'm with you. They all share responsibility for the loss last night. Fortunately, the "final outcome" of the players and coaches after 71 games is that they are in the playoff race. I'm satisfied with the players and coaches.

I'm satisfied with the Rockets' play after 4:50 of the first quarter last night, too. After 4:50 of the first quarter, the Rockets outscored the Pacers 82-81. You're not impressed by that. OK. Sure, the part before that sucked, and I too wish the team had figured something out in order to perform better.

The turn in the game doesn't have to do with the changing slope on a graph of the point totals: it has to do with the beginning of substitutions, which happened between 6:56 and 4:50 of the first quarter. That is what I have pointed to repeatedly.

 

Yo RP, I'm not one to get involved in these kind of things. If I offended you I apologize. I was just surprised, that's all. But I am actually kind of curious.

What is a kool-aid boy?

 

Clearly he's an HOF and LOH.

 

You want to talk about efficient. Tally up the entire season and tell me who is more efficient. Lin or Harden?

 

Yeah but Harden is a max player/allstar.

 

No players should go 6-24 but it did happen and why? Cause no one on the team is reliable, like Lin. So if someone had to score on the team who would it be, of course Harden. If LOF keeps up the jibberish about 6-24 than microscope wouldn't be shined on Lin for his ineptness. You think Lin is better than Harden.

 

Ok then what's all the complaining about Harden is about. He's the all-star so he gets the shots. No one else can make jack or doesn't want to take shots so Harden is doing the work. Lin doesn't want to step up when given the opportunity to so he sat so what? Everyone got a bad game. Does it mean when Harden has a bad game and Rockets lose is because Lin is not being utilized. Absolutely not. If Lin was so effective, he would have played.

 

Harden is usually the more efficient scorer and Lin is usually the better defender. They both have different roles in the same team. (ie. Harden may be saving his energy more to help team offense and not defense). But last night Lin was the more efficient scorer. That still stands.

 

Lin gets his play time if he scores 15+ a game. But mchale does not want Lin to score. And if Lin doesn't score he gets benched. And no, 4, 5, or 6 assists in a quarter does NOT prevent his benching as we've seen this season. Lin is in a no win situation.

 

McHale doesn't want Lin to score? Are you kidding me. How did Lin do against OKC the last time they played. How did Lin do against the first Warriors game. How did Lin do the recent streak of 3 20+ games. Lin just needs to be aggressive. McHale doesn't care if Lin scores. If Lin can score than do it. NO ONE is stopping him.

 

However last night, ALL the starters played poorly against the Pacers, Lin and Harden included.

 

Rockets_Pride should be renamed to Rockets_Disgrace

No one here says Lin is better than Harden! Harden is the best player on the team and that's a fact! I like them both so stop hating on lin and look at the games without your colored glasses

 

No it doesn't stand. Lin made only 3 shots. 1 mid-range jumper in the first half--just ONE. 2 shots in the 2nd half with 1 shot on a fast-break layup or whatever it was that he could have missed but it went in with and-1. Another 3 ptr towards the end of the game when it didn't even matter. If Lin was efficient, he would have scored when the team needed it and mattered. Stat wise, yes, he's 50% but it was ineffective in the context of the game.

 

Last night, sadly, ALL the starters played poorly against the Pacers, Lin and Harden included. No need to only focus on Lin.
