http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228451&page=32 Wow, so much negativity especially for a team leading their division and that made the Finals last year! Talking about tanking, blowing it up, fire Popavich & how bad they are! LOVE IT!!! EAT THE HEAD SPURS! EAT THE HEAD!
Imagine if we had just kept the same offense scheme from last season and just upgraded with Howard at C and improved Jones at PF? Easily be #1 in offense this year in NBA
I realize that this is VERY premature, but this right here shows why getting HCA in the first round is so important. If we can play the Clippers or Blazers in the first round we could possibly win if we take care of home court. And being that the Spurs are the likely #1 seed this year, we would play them in the second round if we are at the #4 seed. Gotta get that HCA, never know what can happen in the playoffs.
Ahahaha its amazing. I thought the GARM was bad. Spurstalk criticizing Popovich. They have no clue how good they have it.
I certainly agree with this post 1000%. Great win for the Rockets tonight! Also, does anyone else get that feeling that a lot of the 2012 and 2013 posters are actually posters on here that made a second account just to troll? I mean, of course not all or most, but a far amount of them certainly seem like older posters with their knowledge, but they are pretending to be new to the forum and fake supporting different positions or arguments, only to troll later.
I'm just tired of one thing though... When the ball goes up in the air when playing defense please for the love of God find a man and box out instead of chasing the ball. You learn those fundamentals in middle school basketball. It would solve dozens of our problems.
I agree with your post. I think the Rockets should have stayed with Lin as the starter and not change up something that works. Maybe before the season is over Mchale will realize that is the Rockets strongest lineup. I was impressed tonight by Mchale at the end of the game. He pulled Jones and put Dmo in for his defense. I thought that was a good move, something I never thought he would do.
Gotta credit Lin for setting Jones off at the start, too. Few assists not credited too because the shooter got fouled after a nice pass (Jones, Casspi).
Ran the pick n roll and took midrange shots as opposed to just chucking a 3. And when we did we let a high % shooter like Brooks take them... what do you...our offense looked WAY better during the 2nd half when we did that.
Lin has been averaging 31 minutes a game, all season long. Since there was one game with 4 minutes due to injury, and some 25 minute games, most of the time he plays more.
As much as getting Asik back will help the defense I don't think people realize what it will do to our offense. He sets amazing screens and picks and with Jeremy on the bench they could be a deadly duo.
Blazers are in the toughest stretch of their schedule, so they are dead tired. Having to play against the Grizz's grind-out D does not for a happy portland make.
