Brooks doesn't have it this game. Lin had a terrible 3Q, too pumped up, unfocused on defense. Hope he has the 4Q mojo when he comes back. Harden had a good 3Q but Howard is struggling.
I said they had problems 20 games ago but the refuses to do something. There comes a point where stubborn morey should realize he overplayed his hand. Trade that whiny b**** already, we are gambling this entire season.
Harden is playing good d, staying with his man, Harden can't control if shumpert makes his threes or not. Lin is just getting blown by
The Rox need to make some type of move in the worse way. This team as is just doesn't have it. Doesn't help there's no system to speak of on the defensive or offensive end.
There is really no need to mention Harden's defense. It's the same every game. He is making up for it on offense though.
So...Brooks is the only bench guy to play in that quarter or did I miss another sub? Mchale's answer for everything is to just ride the starters and hope Harden can bail him and his staff out. Unfortunately we have to ride is contract out until he losses the players.
This team is so unentertaining to watch it's ridiculous. Give me last years team or even the Gogi-led Rockets team that just missed out on the 'offs. Need to find better things to do.
We are poorly coached, we were never prepared for this game and we had like a 2 day break. McHale should have pointed out the weakness from our last couple loses,but he probably doesn't do that in team meetings, I feel the coaching staff just want the guys to figure out on there own or something. Everyone seems lost out there on defensive end, and offensive ball we get points but just having chemistry there is no real offensive scheme out there.
You think it has anything to do with how hard he plays on defense? And seeing the perimeter guys with concrete in their shoes on every possession/ You think it has anything to do with how hard he works down low on offense trying to gain position, running around setting screens which don't get used properly, resetting down in the post - only to watch a contested jumper go up? I give him credit that he hasn't grabbed one of the players yet and wrung their necks.
