[Y Sports Radio] Calvin Murphy: Jeremy Lin Needs The Ball In His Hands

When the rockets need more ball pressure and immediate respect from the 3 pt line, for whatever reason, lin is probably getting subbed for Dougie or beverley. Sometimes this ends up working well, and extends into the 4th. And then there are times he plays like crud. Happens to everyone.

 

Did the rockets win 2 times when lin didn't play in the 4th? Didn't remember.

 

Coaching staff obviously learned nothing.

 

well, they gave him the ball more this time around

let him play around 33-35 minutes dammit!

also, what did calvin say in the post game show?

 

Wouldn't want to disappoint you, Clutch.

 

well, usually you can point to a player or players as the primary reason for losing a game. Tonight McHale and his incredibly lately substitutions is the primary culprit.

 

Trade Lin, start Douglas and get Beverley off of the bench. We can have an offensive spark all game long and elite flailing arm defense.

 

McHell does not know how to use Lin's brain. Lin's strength is not his athletic ability (I bet we can find over half of NBA players are more athletic than Lin), but his brain that allows him to make better decisions on the court than most NBA players. But, without using his brain, McHell just exposes Lin's weakness. Sign!!!

 

ofcourse

 

lol....I only have one reaction to the subject of this thread...



...the man speaks truth.

 

Well whattaya know, Mr. Calvin Murphy was right?
We've been looking real good with Lin playing more PG. He again did a very good job today against the Nuggets, hope it stays that way and he continues being aggressive.

 

murph needs to come back in the broadcast booth calling games with matt and bill.

calvin was the fans bill worrell bs bias shameless homer detector. He always kept it real and kept worrell's out of control ego in check.

ever since he left worrell has been on a rampage.

we need calvin back.

 

I think this game makes it clear....

 

Now that the Rockets have two consecutive losses, maybe it's time for the coaches to stop the music chair ball handling again?

 

Actually I think it's good for players to build up good habits for ball movement in training, and as a plan B.

 

Please, Mchale, listen to this man. If you value your job. He knows what he's talking about. We can still have Harden scoring 25 ppg, we just need to stop iso-Harden plays

 

I think it's amazing that Stephen A Smith, the biggest Lin hater, can change his mind about Lin but his own head coach cannot.

Jeremy Lin, Is There Enough in the Tank to Get Houston Rockets in the Playoffs?

The recipe to success appears to be this for the Rockets: give Lin the ball, space the floor and if the open man can make the basket, the future is looking bright in Houston. The more assists he has, the higher the probability the Rockets will win.

 

no knowledge on this subject.. Shouldn't post stupid claims like this.
