ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Knicks 11/14/2013

carmela and the knicks will be so focused on making a statement, that chandler who i have never heard of and dwight will both drop 30.
Lin 16 pts/10 assists/6 t.0s/4 steals/53 minute
Bev 13/pts/2 assists/5 steals/53 minutes

NO REST FOR YOU! (going to make a soup mchale natzi poster)

 

Lin is pretty tired lol. I'll be happy with 15-8 , 50% fg and a W.

 

rofl @ minutes. funny thing is it might happen.

 

hope Lin has Landry Fields' couch shipped over to his hotel room.

 

i'll be very disappointed if Howard didn't come up with a monster offensive game matching up against Andrea "p***y" Bargnani . Can't say the same defensively though , he will spend a lot of time out of the paint.

 

The Rockets have to be excited by what they saw out of Jeremy Lin and Terrence Jones. The Rockets will be fine once they settle on a lineup and get used to playing with one another but Lin and Jones so far look great.

 

McHale needs to go deep into the rotation tonight. Keep guys fresh. Luckily the Knicks like to slow the pace down.

 

Jones didn't shoot too well, but I love what he's brought to the lineup the last 2 games. Very quietly dropped a double double yesterday

 

If Harden plays, Lin starts and Mchale buys a playbook.

#1 Backcourt.

 

time for the coaching staff to let the real starters play

Lin
Harden
Parsons
Jones
Dwight

key is to stop the slow starts. and add more bench players in the rotation like AB and DM

 

I hope Harden is good to go tonight. Dwight should put up big numbers and the Knicks are not a good defensive team. I just hope JR Smith or some other random guard doesn't go for career highs against us on national tv.

 

I would be tempted to put Garcia on Melo. Garcia did a really good job against Durant in the playoffs.

 

Feed the big guy inside. He usually has a good first half, then he stops getting touches.

Anyone know if Harden is starting?

 

It's not on Lin it's on Mchale for putting Lin in certain situations... if we need one stop up by three why is Lin even in the game? We need hard street type of defense at that point not fundamental just hold my hands up defense letting a guy shoot a three in my face. Lin played good I just think he was overused so to speak...

this will be the philadelphia game this year……until the next one……until mchale is finally let go..

 

Why can't Parsons come off the bench and have Lin & Garcia start? Garcia seems to be better at shooting the 3 which we need with Dwight in the middle, and Parsons can provide the offensive spark.

 

Guess Harden is playing. Lin back to bench?
