ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Nuggets 1/30/2013

I hate when people make excuses for McFail and say we lost because the Rockets are young.

 

Steven Gerrard missed the penalty

 

We are not mad on other team hot, but what coatches rotation is ridiculous.
It has been again and again.
Second reason tonite, refs just blowed away our rythem at earlier quarters.

 

Lin is shooting 50+ from 2 point range... He's a good finisher. Where he's been struggling at are short J's.

Also, McHale's sub-pattern for Lin goes as followed:

1st Q: Sub out Lin halfway through quarter. Play TD rest of quarter.
2nd Q: Keep TD out there until 7-8 minutes left, play Lin to close out half.
3rd Q: Sub out Lin halfway through quarter. Play TD rest of quarter.
4th Q: Keep TD out there until 7-8 minutes left, play Lin to close out the game.

It's not really complicated. If you just watch the game and keep track, you can see it just about every game. (And more so if Lin is having a bad game.)

Anyway, it's a stupid rotation. Douglas is not a point guard and James Harden is more efficient at SG rather than being the playmaker. Parsons should also not be handling the rock.

When Douglas does well, it's because he is SCORING, and that is because he DOES NOT HAVE THE SKILLS OF A GOOD POINT GUARD but rather the skills of a streaky shooting guard.

I don't know what to say for the coaching staff...

Either play Bev at PG and let Harden be the SG, or for short limited amount of times let Harden dominate the ball, rest Lin and have TD play the catch and shoot role of the SG. Every time Lin is in the game, let him be the PG and initiate the offense. IT'S SIMPLE.

 

Guys..some positivity. We competed well as a team. Wondering if Lin has turned the corner for the rest of the season. Wait and see..
Meanwhile Asik still chasing that 20 reb game..bad luck
Parsons was great aside from the end of the Q3..
Really doubt McHale will be the coach when this team is ready to go deep in the playoffs..but he's fine for now..ok?
SO JUST CALM YOUR ****ING FARMS PEOPLE

 

I blame this loss on Denver!!!!!

 

Also I would love Danillo on this rocket team.

 

Mchale dumb rotations and missed 11 FT's...

 

He should be as aggressive as he was during garbage time more often.

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
ROCKETS has 21 TOs and LIN has only 1????

 

Harden was trying to see if he could miss as many layups as turnovers (6).

James "The Turnover Machine" Harden.

 

I don't know why we're even attempting a layup. We should be chucking up 3s and hoping for a miracle.

 

Go back to the Nuggetorium or wherever you're from, tard.

 

no you get your freaking PG out there so you can score on the other end too. Why do you keep making that nonsensical argument? Yes Lin can't block Gallo's shot, but as we clearly saw, he helped get the ball in the bucket.

 

Wow, the Rockets outplayed Denver the whole game, except for an offensive breakdown early in the 4th. Left in the second team (and went small) too long.

 

The game was over in the early fourth. When Harden started forcing it the game was going the wrong direction. Lin should have started and played through the 4th....another winnable game down the drain.

 

to make things worse, Jazz won. fml

 

Harden's TO's aren't any uglier than Lin's. All TO's are ugly, and they are the primary reason why we lost the game tonight. That, and missing wide open 3s when they made their run.

 

Best post-game analysis thus far

 

Not playing dmo is dumb. He's a more skilled player than morris and Patterson. Spare mr on the defense and rebounding. It's not like he'd be taking the minutes of two guys that are stellar defenders and rebounders.

They are both mediocre at best. Terrence jones and dmo are both better players and would bring more to the team in their own respect. Time to scrap this Patterson Morris pf duo. They bring very little to the team. The guards have to do waaaay to much on tbis team. Big men all have to be set up for most of their shots.
