Just need any athletic big that can finish at the rim and catch alley-oops. Lin to Chandler was money last season in NY, I can't even remember...
It's mostly from the poor shooting combined with the turnovers. We took 6 more shot attempts as a team but made 1 basket less. Free throws...
This is the key! Westbrook has a huge chip on his shoulder. If you get into his head he starts trying to win his individual matchup or prove...
Honestly a player like Perkins is a plus. Boston has Garnett who is a similar douche. Reggie Evans is also a dirtbag but has a crazy rebounding...
Perkins won this for OKC with his dirty play. He's the one who injured Lin forcing us to use Brooks, and then held Chandler on that pivotal...
Rockets destroyed OKC on the boards 57-40 and took 6 more shot attempts but still lost because they only shot 40%.
Parsons 17 points on 23 shots, just terrible. Hope he plays better next game.
Beverley has stepped up when it counts, dude is reminding me a lot of Bledsoe. Think he shoots better but Bledsoe is more explosive.
Yet I'm sure you would gladly give Beverley that money right now for an even smaller sample size. Lin's getting paid what an avg PG gets paid....
He was playing decent. 3-7 FG 7 points 4 reb 3 assists in just under 20 minutes. I do think if there was no Brooks tonight we could have pulled...
He also ran actual plays out of time outs towards the end, I was shocked tbh lol
Can't really be too mad though, Harden got 20 free throws...20!
This is an overall positive game. Lin played ok the time he was in. Beverley was beast. We stayed toe-to-toe with OKC and had a chance to win....
If Parsons wasn't so horrid this quarter Rockets might have stolen this.
6-18 shooting and 6 turnovers after 3 quarters is pretty bad, but his 24 points and 10 rebounds is good...so it evens out to mediocre.
Cmon Harden
Worst of the season? He's not hitting his shots but he's doing fine with everything else.
This team doesn't have a system.
Lin's really cold shooting tonight. He's also been a lot less involved in playmaking, he has rarely brought the ball up this game.
His O is fine but needs to tighten up on D. He's giving up too many easy buckets on the defensive end, 2 backdoor cuts where he just lost his man.
