NOPE Harden calls for the ball

 

only hot hand was Harden. He absolutely should've shot more, especially in crunch time.

 

Making stupid posts over and over again isn't going to make them true.

 

I'm just going to stop this discussion here.

 

"Howard sulks" is not funny at all. If Howard could have played better tonight, we absolutely could get a W.

 

a guy talked about Lin having opportunities to "make plays" not "win the game." Man, people really interpret others badly on this board sometimes...

 

Jeremy was not passive. He was playing under control. He deferred to Harden because Harden was the best scorer out there tonight. If he forced shots or tried to go 1 on 3 he'd be reckless.

Stop blaming a bench/role player.

 

I just wish our next game was against the Kings and not the Suns. We'll need him against Phoenix, but we could afford to sit him against Sactown(yes, I know they beat us twice already, but they still suck).

 

It's ok to have Bev in when we can score but when we need points he needs to sit he is so awful scoring its sad Curry ran him over

 

Moronic. The rest of the team was 23-74. Our other star did nothing. Harden almost carried us to victory despite the pathetic effort of everyone else. Even at the end, Harden set up Parsons going to the basket, and he couldn't finish.

 

Excuse me....

But what freaking game are you watching?

 

Why are you expecting him to bail the team out? You think Lin's a scrub anyways.

 

Completely agree. Lin was scared to miss a shot and lose the game for us. But Harden was hurt and there were some plays he just necessarily want the ball. Granted Lin had Iggy on him a lot of the time, but still he's gotta try to make something happen. Parsons couldn't hit a lot of shots late but at least he was being aggressive. The only shot I think Lin took the last 10 minutes of the game was that shot clock heave.

 

lol jeremy lin can do no right in texas. parsons jacks up 25 shots and misses the game winning dunk, but he gets a pass….i wonder why!

 

There's an album about you

It's okay, fans have to blame Lin. They don't wanna see the real limitations of the Rockets.

Like Jones letting Lee look like the 2nd coming of Kareem.

Like Dwight getting manhandled by an over the hill player like O'Neal.

 

Harden gets the ball for the same reason that Steph Curry had the ball for most of their warriors' possessions in overtime.

 

Do you even basketball bro?

 

It wasn't exactly deferring, though. It was obvious that Lin was trying to penetrate into the lane and make plays, but for whatever reason he was unable to do so and he ended up being stuck in odd places. I'd agree with your point about deferring if Lin simply handed it to Harden whenever he could, but that wasn't the case tonight. It was disappointing to watch. As a Lin fan I was very happy that Mchale chose to keep Jeremy in in the clutch, but he simply couldn't do anything with the opportunity.

 

right and I said Lin didn't play PG didn't have plays called for him was buried in the corner so Harden and Parsons could take like 60 shots and Lin wasn't given any opportunities
Watch the game again when Lin was out we sucked Howard was awful and Harden and Parsons tried to score every time they touched the ball
Lin comes in we get leads and go on runs
