Oh? McHale: "We were switching 1 through 5." MT @bigb_78: @Jonathan_Feigen Howard wasn't at fault, Lin played chase around, got caught."

 

Us Kool-Aid drinkers are both watching the game and looking at the stats.
Lin is about team basketball, so if he is not right for this team, the Rockets are in trouble.

 

Poor, Jeremy. He deserves more respects from Rockets fans and his teammates.

 

We will not be fine if we keep playing the way we have the first 6 games. Major changes need to be made.

 

Just heat of the moment.

 

Exactly! The whole set up was wrong! McHale should have called a timeout but of course he didn't notice b/c he's just as clueless.

SMH when you let D'Antoni out-coach you.

 

dude deserves more shots as well. He's the only Rocket shooting over 50% from the field.

 

Should we talk about the 1st quarter more? Always starting in a big whole? I thought Rockets last year used to do well at the start of the game. If it is due to lineup, it is coaches responsibility.

 

why do some people make up stuff, the chemistry btwn harden parsons and lin is just fine lol harden ignores everybody when he doesnt wanna pass not just lin besides hes always outside of the 3p line so it makes more sense to pass it to the other guys and the last play is on lin he shudnt have lost blake thats it lin fkd up the last play but he had a good game today of course harden and howard will be mad at him but dw, theyll be fine

 

not enough lin turnovers
harden run the clock down to 5-4 sec then do his isos
bev scoring less then asik
harden and bev doing poor defensively in the beginning
missed free throwsespecially dwight
getting picked off at the end leading to the heartbreaker
bad endbound play by having bev throwing in the ball

 

If you think a scoring PG is a team first player, then you are delusional. Lin needs to score to be effective, we need a PG that doesn't need to score to be effective. You are oversimplifying the issue because your argument is weak. We need a true point guard on this roster. We also need a dramatic boost in defense.

 

Lin played fine. It was an unfortunate loss, but things happen.

 

LMAO!! OMG the tears. This is hillarious

 

lol. ouch.

 

I'm 100% ok with Lin screwing up a bit by going under and Bev getting lost on rotation. They're both basically NBA sophomores against a legit offensive genius and 33+ year old vets.

We didn't lose on that one play, we lost on the 100 no-defense, heat-check plays before it.

 

Mchale didnt watch the video yet...speaking out of his a$$ as usual...

It wasnt Lin's or Bev fault...it was a great play drawn up by MDA...How about having your in-bounder guarded...or trying to foul the screener

 

everyone so quick to judge lin but with Bev "he is just a first time starter"

 

To cf members, worrell and Bullard,it is lin's fault! Haven't you heard? They're the voice of the rockets

 

You can see the fire from Paul George. I've yet to see it from Harden.
