McHale is starting TD over Beverly in this game. I wonder what he saw in the films to change his mind. Will this trend keep on or is McHale going back to his old ways again?
He lost some weight in the off season. He also looks more sculpted. I think JLin mentioned in the preseason that McHale had them practicing harder than he ever had.
I am noticing that there is more spacing in this game now than in the previous games. The Rockets players are attacking the basket and kicking out to open defenders on the wings. This is the way the offense should run. Not Harden Ball. The Rockets players must have voiced their opinions during the film session and that is why McHale is willing to at least try and change the game plan for tonight.
I hope I am not saying this too prematurely. But, you know the saying put up or shut up? PPat didn't shut up and he's putting up. He's deserves his swagger more than anyone else.
So they put JLin back in with under 1 minute left after the Pelicans, I mean Hornets, cut it down to 11. Is this recognition that JLin is a good D man?
Lin is put back to fix the mistake. Lead was coming down in the 2nd Lin fixes it. Lead going down on the third, Lin in and fixes it. I hope you are picking up what I'm trying to say!
Lin just calms the Rockets down. Good defensive pairing with TD and JLin. Harden is instant offense. I am cool if JLin is defense, rebounds, and assists guy.
When lin was out, i thought it was time to sleep.When he came back even for a couple of mins. the game changed instantly. Lin does wonders to the game..Like a food, lln adds a lot of spice on it.
I think McHell should rotate some big men off the bench now to get them some minutes with Lin, the on court coach. It will only pay off in the long run.
Jeremy isn't looking to score at all ever since he came in for the 4th quarter. I wonder what Coach was telling him while he was on the bench "Stop scoring points ... you're making our superstar Harden look bad with your superior playmaking."
Marcus Morris defense is making Ryan Anderson look like Dirk Nowitzki.
How to finish the game... Think about letting Lin control the offense. Tell the team McHale common. Harden's ISO is killing this game! BTW, I don't hate Harden, but he shouldn't hold the ball so much.
I think this game is clear as water. If the staff doesn't see what's going on and the difference between Harden controlling and Lin controlling then nothing will make them see.
When JLin is stopped on the penetration and double teamed, his teammates are just standing around looking at him. They need to cut or get open for the pass.
To me what wilc says is pretty much the heart of Linsanity vs this year. Teammates that move to the right place vs teammates who stand around and watch.
I remember when I first came on this board, you LOFs were really funny. When Lin scored 20 points, everyone was saying Lin should've scored 30 points... haha.. oh how we matured.
"This game's in the refrigerator! The door's closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O is jiggling...."
Lin got to play PG - at least for a hand full of minutes. Harden ISO looked bad - so bad that a blind man would see it. Harden (during 4th) passed to Lin and set two screens for him. Im not really happy but I see a some improvement :)
Ok put the bench in McHale. What did I tell you guys? That Lin would have a good game and that the Rockets will win. Was I right or what? I hope this shows McHale what was happening in that losing streak.
ok zxcvb you are exaggerating a bit. I'm a Lin's fan but let's be honest. This was a good step forward. There is still a lot to improve but is a step. I just really don't think McHale has the ability as a coach to get the best out of Harden and Lin together.
No, it's not. He's had plenty of games as good or way better than this...and it changed nothing.
Dude, don't celebrate a Harden Hero Ball win against a sub-par team on a cold-shooting night. This game could easily have been lost against a better or hotter team.
Notice how the better Lin played...the less they used him.
What are you talking about I'm completely confuse. Lin saved the Rockets at the end of the third quarter and started the fourth. How did Lin gets punish?
Cover 2, prevent defense on Madden is never a sure thing. You have to blitz once in a while. Meaning you can't always do hero ball to win a game even it is for prevent defense.
They were doing fine when Harden was on the floor in the 1st. There seems like there is a mutual understanding that Harden becomes the PG in the 4th. Not fun to watch.
It took JLin only two quarters playing his natural position to get those stats. If he were allowed to play PG the whole game, I won't bet against him putting up elite numbers this season.
How old are you seriously? First you get butt hurt, because I don't praise J-Lin as a God like you do. Then days ago you make an immature post saying that you quit this forum. If you can't take honest/constructive criticism, then do everyone a favor--don't comment at all. Grow the hell up.
@J. 14. sorry, just 4 years older than you! do I say to quit this forum? I say done with this, which means I am done with reading your shit that day, dumb ass! haha.....it's an insult to have a praise about jlin from a dumb one like you! thank god, you didn't praise!
Yah Patterson had 11 FGA at half time but it's still 11 FGA at the end of the game. So, kinda confused. Why didn't their hottest shooter have another FGA in the second half?
Dang JLin's stats are quite yummy across the board and he only took 6 shots. Just an awesome night for a great all around game. People are either blind or just straight up racist if they don't see Lin's a great baller.
Man, Harden NEVER SHARES THE BALL at the end of the game.
He doesn't give a sh*t about rewarding his teammates. He just wants to shoot the FTs to pad his scoring stats. His EIGHT turnovers, seven in the first half, single-handedly put the Rockets in deep trouble.
And the guys who saved the game? Jeremy and Patterson? Harden told them to go to hell and let him get his. What a cancer...I feel for Jeremy and the entire Rockets team. Harden Hero Ball remains the law of the land. Go to hell, James. Take McHale with you.
I'm glad HOU won but they still made Harden be the PG from 2Q to 4Q except when he got benched after getting 7 TOs.
I don't see things have changed a lot. Only in the 1Q, Lin looked very confident to set up the offense.
Then Lin was back looking to defer to Harden to make plays. There was one play in 4Q when Harden looked at Lin and gave the ball back, possibly thinking "Oh yeah, you're the PG, here is the ball".
I don't know if Lin and Harden have figured out who should get the ball 70%-30% or 60%-40%. This is definitely a long process for them to play together. They still look like two PGs trying to play together.
I think they have figured out that Harden will be PG most of the game. This hasn't really changed this game. Letting JLin play PG and the Rockets play team ball is just to "get everyone going" to start off the game. Once everyone feels involved, they will put the ball back into Harden's hands.
Man, you said it. Nothing changed. Jeremy was just so damn good whenever he was allowed to run the offense that he made up for Harden horrendous TOs, defense and stat-padding.
NOH made sure to collapse on Jeremy because they knew Harden would never give him the ball back...and the strategy would have worked on a better shooting night. Hey, it worked last time.
Jeremy Lin has a very good game on both ends of the floor in a Rockets win. The Bulls manhandle a good Golden State team behind some great shooting from Kirk Hinrich. Good NBA night for me.
James Harden with 7 TO and Lin with 2 TO and 4 steals. Way to go Lin. I wonder if McHale will pull Lin again this time?
ReplyDeleteMcHale is starting TD over Beverly in this game. I wonder what he saw in the films to change his mind. Will this trend keep on or is McHale going back to his old ways again?
ReplyDeleteWith mchale, there is no guessing. There is absolutely no rationale in his decisions. Just watch and be amazed.
DeleteMaybe McHale saw Ty Lawson blowing by Beverley at will last game.
DeleteIs it me or did Jeremy Lin lose muscle mass compared to when he was on the Knicks?
ReplyDeleteI think it's an illusion. Lin's lower body got bigger, so maybe he's "lighter" proportion wise up top.
Deleteduring summer he worked out to lose muscle and around 10 pounds for his knees.
DeleteHe lost some weight in the off season. He also looks more sculpted. I think JLin mentioned in the preseason that McHale had them practicing harder than he ever had.
DeleteHe lost fat, which makes a person look skinnier. Not muscle lol. That's the last thing you want to lose.
DeleteVasquez with only 2 points so far in this game and 2 TO. Houston guards must be playing subperb defense on him.
ReplyDeleteBoth Gordon and Vasquesz average about 15ppg. You sure can't tell by the box score tonight. Difference? Harden gives up more points than Lin.
DeleteLin is back on the positive for this game so far +12 and Harden is +6. Harden's assists is almost near Lin's assist number now. WTF?
ReplyDeleteHe might have gotten 5asts and 5TOs playing PG in the 2nd Q
DeleteI loved how PPat had a fist pump when Parsons got an and-1!
ReplyDeleteFantastic ball movement!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Lin out?
ReplyDeleteDon't know. McHale may intend to let JLin play the entire 4th.
DeleteThat's my question too.can someone give an answer? Is it time to rest base on mchale's time table?
DeleteIt is earlier than in previous games, when JLin would be subbed out at around 3 minutes left in the 3rd.
DeleteIt might be McHale staggering JLin and Harden's minutes.
I am noticing that there is more spacing in this game now than in the previous games. The Rockets players are attacking the basket and kicking out to open defenders on the wings. This is the way the offense should run. Not Harden Ball. The Rockets players must have voiced their opinions during the film session and that is why McHale is willing to at least try and change the game plan for tonight.
ReplyDeleteIs Jeremy done for the night? You never know with this idiot team.
ReplyDeleteThey already tried taking the ball out of his hands TWICE in this game alone despite the offense looking brilliant with him at the helm.
The Hornets look turrible.
ReplyDeleteBarkley impersonation, LOL.
DeleteExactly ;-)
DeleteHoward Chen:
ReplyDeleteBall swung around ALL OVER the place. Really seems like the team's just straight focusing tonight
Running, running, get the ball to the open man... McHale's philosophies are being executed. And the Rockets r up 19.
Lin's played a solid all around game. Hopefully he gets time to rest and prepare for the Nets tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNo point in playing him with a 20 point lead.
He doesn't need rest. He needs to play and gain confidence and boost his stats so McHale and Morey stop disrespecting him.
Deletedude, they're gonna keep disrespecting lin regardless. Lin needs to have 30 30+ games in order for them to stop disrespecting him.
DeleteHeh, you're right.
DeleteBut at least if he plays, we get to enjoy fun-to-watch basketball instead of boring as hell Harden-ball.
I hope I am not saying this too prematurely. But, you know the saying put up or shut up? PPat didn't shut up and he's putting up. He's deserves his swagger more than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteHouston's spiritual team leader?
Good take, perhaps.
DeleteAmazing they don't pass back to Lin, especially Harden. I think he can sense Jeremy is playing well. What an A hole.
ReplyDeleteVery true. It's clear he'd rather lose and put up "Kobe numbers" than win and put up "Eric Gordon numbers."
Deleteduring this losing streak, lin disappears. I don't understand.
ReplyDeleteIf Houston can preserve their lead, McHell should put the bench in for some garbage minutes. Anderson and Aldrich etc. needs more looks.
ReplyDeleteDon't count on it. Knowing McHale and his idiotic thinking, he is not going to sub anybody in until there is at least 1 minute left in the game.
DeleteYup. If we had confidence in McHell's bench rotation ability, we wouldn't be talking about it right now.
DeleteThey need to get 20+ and just get NOH to quit.
ReplyDeleteGawd smith is fouling machine.
Smith got suckered. But, I'd like to see more Lin/Smith plays.
DeleteSo they put JLin back in with under 1 minute left after the Pelicans, I mean Hornets, cut it down to 11. Is this recognition that JLin is a good D man?
ReplyDeleteLOL 2PAT PLAYING D!
ReplyDeleteOMFG I AM SO HAPPY!
Lol, did everyone hear PPat say "Gimme that" right before he blocked Rivers?
ReplyDeleteLol yep. That was hilarious.
DeleteRivers looked like a kid in a man's game...LOLOLOLOL!
DeletePatterson owns the PnR defense rotation.
ReplyDeleteLin is put back to fix the mistake. Lead was coming down in the 2nd Lin fixes it. Lead going down on the third, Lin in and fixes it. I hope you are picking up what I'm trying to say!
ReplyDeleteLin with 11 points and 5 steals.
DeleteCorrection, 13 points after that steal and lay up.
DeleteWOW - I like how they closed the 3rd quarter! Intense D!
ReplyDeleteLin leads the team with +14. Would be much higher had McHell do a better job staggering Lin and Harden's minutes.
ReplyDeleteLin -> +16
DeleteHarem -> +2
Bitte!
DeleteI like how Toney is so supportive of Lin on the floor. I rarely see James run along with Lin on fast breaks.
ReplyDeleteI always say -> gimme more Lin/TD action!
Deletethat what we talking about man, lin all the way
ReplyDeleteHoward Chen
ReplyDeleteIn fact, 6 steals is his CAREER high. So JLin is 1 off of that with a quarter to go.
Lin just calms the Rockets down. Good defensive pairing with TD and JLin. Harden is instant offense. I am cool if JLin is defense, rebounds, and assists guy.
ReplyDeleteyay, Lin's in the 4th quarter!
ReplyDeletePssst! McHale might hear you!
Delete@willydilly burst of laughter hahaha
DeleteAustin Rivers. "And 1" You need to make it in for an and 1 lol
ReplyDeleteTypical cocky rook. Better not get Lin angry!
DeleteWhen lin was out, i thought it was time to sleep.When he came back even for a couple of mins. the game changed instantly. Lin does wonders to the game..Like a food, lln adds a lot of spice on it.
ReplyDeletePPatt with a double double tonight. 16 points and 11 rebounds. No Asik sighting so far in the 4th.
ReplyDeleteWow morris is just horrid on both ends today.
ReplyDeleteWATCH AND LEARN MCHALE. YOU TOO MOREY.
ReplyDeleteEnough of this "we only have one star" crap. Jeremy isn't Lebron or CP3...but neither is Harden. Let J-Lin be the PG and enjoy.
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteJLin is JLin. Thats good enough :)
Deleteeven LeBron has Wade, Bosh, and Battier who helped him give Miami their second ring.
Deletethis sounds farfetched but I'll be impressed if James can convince Kevin Durant to come to Rockets
I think McHell should rotate some big men off the bench now to get them some minutes with Lin, the on court coach. It will only pay off in the long run.
ReplyDeleteHey, Coach McHale shaved today. He fears the Beard no more :)
ReplyDeleteOh - you mean that was an symbolic act? Shaving the beard of -> shaving Harem of?
DeleteYou need to shave the hair off in order to show your balls.
DeleteActually, McHell was probably in a closed door meeting to save his job. So, he had to get himself cleaned up.
Jeremy isn't looking to score at all ever since he came in for the 4th quarter. I wonder what Coach was telling him while he was on the bench "Stop scoring points ... you're making our superstar Harden look bad with your superior playmaking."
ReplyDeleteMarcus Morris defense is making Ryan Anderson look like Dirk Nowitzki.
Terribad pass :/ Tried to be fancy.
ReplyDeleteAsik is turrible on offense.
ReplyDeleteOMG ASIK DO NOT FREAKING BRING UP THE BALL PASS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBad PnR defense right there... can't tell who Lin was rotating with.. Oh Haren is back in the game.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA ASIK coast to coast not quite!
ReplyDeleteComedy of errors. Asik stole the ball, ran the full length of the court and missed the lay up. Still scoreless for the game.
ReplyDeleteWow, Asik running the fast break.
ReplyDeleteSigh plz remove asik now plz plz plz
ReplyDeleteLets go Lin. Finish with 20 pts
ReplyDeleteRockets has 6 steals, 5 from jeremy; 17 TO's , 7 from harden....hhhmmmm
ReplyDeleteMan, Lin has to make those wide 3s. And Asik is a PG in a big man's body.
ReplyDeleteOr he thinks he is.
DeleteLin with 6 steals and Harden with 8 TOs.
ReplyDeleteNumbers are piling up in opposite directions.
DeleteLin steals, harden turns the ball. I guess harden us trying to even out the game for NOH's sake
DeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteClose the game Harden don't iso plz.
Fking lame.
I was expecting this... in the fourth, Harden wants to make the big plays and be the man.
DeleteIs it just me or is anyone else notice how bad it is when Harden stops the ball. Seriously. Stop it! Or you might lose this game!
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE HERE notices, man.
DeleteOnly the Harden, the coaches and idiot majority at Clutch Fans don't see it.
Those moments are the differences with Harden and Melo. Melo would have gotten off a decent shot.
ReplyDeleteBACK TO HARDEN HERO BALL.
ReplyDeleteMY GOD THIS TEAM IS IDIOTIC.
REMOVE ASIK NOW!!! ITS A MIRACLE NOH DIDN'T SCORE OFF HIS TOS REMOVE HIM!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey should sit Asik down for the remainder of the game. He is causing havoc, not scoring and committing turnovers.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ JLin stop passing it to Asik...
ReplyDeleteSo, apparently, McHell isn't reading the forum and acting on my suggestion to use the bench instead he puts in Harden and Asik... elbow-fu.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's 5 straight possessions, that resulted in either a turnover or a bad shot when the ball goes to Harden or Asik.
ReplyDeleteIts so maddening to watch thank god NOH only scored ONE basket during that time.
DeleteAsik ! 25 millions for 3 years . Lol
ReplyDeleteHouston's bargain during the off season. Yup.
DeleteWe need Asik on D to clog up the paint, but just don't pass him the ball on O.
DeleteHow much does TD get?
DeleteC'mon Harden. Be a team player. Also do not pass to Asik. He's causing your TO number to rocket too
ReplyDeleteWth is this? TO after TO. Come on McHale, use the dam timeout to calm them down. Coach man coach. Do your job please.
ReplyDeletewhat is Asik doing in the perimeter???
ReplyDeleteRight Asik! If you turn it over - at least make an opponent bleed :) 20 TOs a game - should be enough to KO all opponents.
ReplyDeleteHarden with the ball for 8 seconds and Lin on the corner again. Asik multiple TOs. This is craziness on infinite replay!
ReplyDeleteHow to finish the game... Think about letting Lin control the offense. Tell the team McHale common. Harden's ISO is killing this game! BTW, I don't hate Harden, but he shouldn't hold the ball so much.
ReplyDeleteI think this game is clear as water. If the staff doesn't see what's going on and the difference between Harden controlling and Lin controlling then nothing will make them see.
Agree. Rox coaches should watch this game again and again. Rox at their best and their worst -> in a nutshell...
DeleteRox falling apart...Sigh.
ReplyDeletewith 3 minutes to go and a lead that can be easily brought down
DeleteBad TO by Lin here. He has to be careful here.
ReplyDeleteWhen JLin is stopped on the penetration and double teamed, his teammates are just standing around looking at him. They need to cut or get open for the pass.
DeleteTrue, he looked uncomfortable there directing the offense after giving the ball to Harden for 2 quarters.
DeleteTo me what wilc says is pretty much the heart of Linsanity vs this year. Teammates that move to the right place vs teammates who stand around and watch.
DeleteDelfino for three.
ReplyDeleteWhy are the Rockets making Ryan Anderson look like a slow Larry Bird?
ReplyDeleteLin doesn't look to score at all.
ReplyDeleteHarden does not move out of the top of the key without the ball.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a good play by Harden. Pass and get it back.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWait, how did Lin pick up his 4th turn over? The box score said he has 4 TO.
ReplyDeleteHe had a bad pass, then got stripped from behind.
DeleteTwo easily avoidable TOs.
Aminu got the steal while Delfino was standing around looking at JLin getting trapped.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI wanna see harden get his beard shaved.might look weird !
ReplyDeleteHouton's reporter Jason Friedman is trying not to mention about Lin in his tweet......
ReplyDeleteDidnt he make fun of us LOFs?
DeleteI think they are angry with us.
DeleteClutchFans.net @clutchfans
Jeremy Lin tonight: 13 points, 7 assists, 6 steals, 5 boards, 1 block, 0 fan complaints.
lol.
I remember when I first came on this board, you LOFs were really funny. When Lin scored 20 points, everyone was saying Lin should've scored 30 points... haha.. oh how we matured.
DeleteThis is what Chick Hearn will be saying by now:
ReplyDelete"This game's in the refrigerator! The door's closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O is jiggling...."
And, still no bench rotation...
DeleteStill plenty of time to lose this game.
DeleteWith Rox you never know.
Delfino keeping them out of reach.
Maybe the losing streak got him nervous and trembling at that thought.
DeleteI told you, McHale will never put in his bench even with a 20 point lead. He's not that smart.
DeleteHad McHell inserted Anderson and Aldrich instead of Harden and Asik... same difference but young guys get more experience and old guys get more rest.
DeleteLOL finally Aldrich is in.
DeleteI miss Chick Hearn. Wasn't Joel Myers with the Lakers?
DeleteAnd Lin goes to the corner again.
ReplyDelete4th quarter is Harden PG time.
DeleteSame old McHale. Harden ball is boring as hell.
DeleteLol Delfino making them cry.
ReplyDeleteI see jeremy smiling. He seems to be happy tonight.
ReplyDeleteLin got to play PG - at least for a hand full of minutes. Harden ISO looked bad - so bad that a blind man would see it. Harden (during 4th) passed to Lin and set two screens for him. Im not really happy but I see a some improvement :)
DeleteAnd this is probably game.
ReplyDeleteFinally.
But man Lin take some shots in 4th plz...Just because you have 50% shooting tonight with 3/6 you still need moar shots.
Ok put the bench in McHale. What did I tell you guys? That Lin would have a good game and that the Rockets will win. Was I right or what? I hope this shows McHale what was happening in that losing streak.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't learn jack.
DeleteThey disrespected and Derek Fishered him AGAIN in the 4th...and 3rd...and 2nd.
Nothing changed. Jeremy was the game's MVP and no one will ever notice.
ok zxcvb you are exaggerating a bit. I'm a Lin's fan but let's be honest. This was a good step forward. There is still a lot to improve but is a step. I just really don't think McHale has the ability as a coach to get the best out of Harden and Lin together.

DeleteDude, don't celebrate a Harden Hero Ball win against a sub-par team on a cold-shooting night. This game could easily have been lost against a better or hotter team.
Notice how the better Lin played...the less they used him.
Lol Aldrich moves like the jolly green giant.
ReplyDeleteA Beverly and Aldrich siting. Harden was still in the game and now he is subbed out.
ReplyDeleteThis team can go to hell.
ReplyDeleteThe MVP of the game being disrespected and not allowed to touch the ball in the 2nd half.
He makes a TO and he's punished for the entire 4th...yeah, it's hard to find your rhythm when you don't touch the ball for ten minutes at a time.
Harden must've held the ball for 90% of the final eight minutes.
Amen!
DeleteThey had a 12-15 point lead, it is like putting the prevent defense on Madden. Just give the ball to Harden and play ISO ball.
DeleteLet's hope they will at least let JLin help the Rockets win the game in the first half.
DeleteWhat are you talking about I'm completely confuse. Lin saved the Rockets at the end of the third quarter and started the fourth. How did Lin gets punish?
DeleteCover 2, prevent defense on Madden is never a sure thing. You have to blitz once in a while. Meaning you can't always do hero ball to win a game even it is for prevent defense.
DeleteThe game was fun when Harden was on the bench. After he came back, ehhhhh....
ReplyDeleteThey were doing fine when Harden was on the floor in the 1st. There seems like there is a mutual understanding that Harden becomes the PG in the 4th. Not fun to watch.
DeleteJLin defensive STUD!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
Delete3/6 13pts 5rebs 8 assists, 1BS, SIx GLORIOUS STEALS and 4 TOs, one was careless one he was trying to show off.
ReplyDeleteYes he is all star material. Anyone say he isn't can kiss my ass.
Amen!
DeleteWhat I liked the best was he was attacking and drawing easy fouls...Go LIN GO!
DeleteI wont kiss your ass, but he's not all-star material right now. Blame it on coaching, teammates, etc... but he's not.
DeleteI'll give him 2 years.
@J shut the hell up ! I see where you coming from now! from your previous thread and this thread, you try to put up something! but it's not working!
DeleteIt took JLin only two quarters playing his natural position to get those stats. If he were allowed to play PG the whole game, I won't bet against him putting up elite numbers this season.
DeleteHow old are you seriously? First you get butt hurt, because I don't praise J-Lin as a God like you do. Then days ago you make an immature post saying that you quit this forum. If you can't take honest/constructive criticism, then do everyone a favor--don't comment at all. Grow the hell up.
DeleteLin didn't even HAVE to play in the 4th if he didn't have to come into the game to save McHell from himself.
Delete@J. 14. sorry, just 4 years older than you! do I say to quit this forum? I say done with this, which means I am done with reading your shit that day, dumb ass! haha.....it's an insult to have a praise about jlin from a dumb one like you! thank god, you didn't praise!
DeleteMchale saying sorry to the NOH coach bec he has to let jeremy play PG tonight, otherwise he wil lose his job.
ReplyDeleteNOH coach said "I can dig it, hey how about Gordon for Lin straight up?"
DeleteLOL you guys are hilarious!
DeleteLMAO!
DeleteDid Patterson even play in the second half?
ReplyDelete?
DeleteHe replaced Asik when McHale benched him right?
Nobody played in the 4th quarter. It was Harden playing by himself. That's why everyone seemed to be invisible.
DeleteAnd I don't mean that Harden carried the team in the 4th.
DeleteYah Patterson had 11 FGA at half time but it's still 11 FGA at the end of the game. So, kinda confused. Why didn't their hottest shooter have another FGA in the second half?
DeleteLOL Aldrich, Bev and Anderson each got 1min play time.
ReplyDeleteDang JLin's stats are quite yummy across the board and he only took 6 shots. Just an awesome night for a great all around game. People are either blind or just straight up racist if they don't see Lin's a great baller.
ReplyDeleteMan, Harden NEVER SHARES THE BALL at the end of the game.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't give a sh*t about rewarding his teammates. He just wants to shoot the FTs to pad his scoring stats. His EIGHT turnovers, seven in the first half, single-handedly put the Rockets in deep trouble.
And the guys who saved the game? Jeremy and Patterson? Harden told them to go to hell and let him get his. What a cancer...I feel for Jeremy and the entire Rockets team. Harden Hero Ball remains the law of the land. Go to hell, James. Take McHale with you.
Omer Asik going to coast to coast!!! Now that's something I thought I would never see. Haha. But the missed layup is something I've seen a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good try...Though I think he was desperate to put up some points, great steal tho lol.
DeleteDamn. Lin schooled them. Played like Chris Paul on a good Chris Paul night.
ReplyDeleteThe reason harden didn't turn he ball over he second have is because he stop passing the ball...
ReplyDeleteOK this might be a historical stat.
ReplyDeleteWinning team beats losing team by 18 points.
Winning team's leading scorer has 30 points.
Winning team's leading scorer has +/- of only +4, lowest on the entire team excluding the scrubs (including Morris).
Only possible in McHell's world.
this is McHells world...
Deletethis is McHells world...
but he would be nothing
nothing... without Jeremy Lin...
Asik had another 0 pt game but only 6 rebounds. He had officially hit the rookie wall.
DeletePPat stepped up his game with 18pts,13rebs so his words on Harden carried more weight.
Lin did quite well in the first 3Qs. Don't worry, he got a bit shell-shocked seeing McHale letting him play in 4Q again :)
I'm glad HOU won but they still made Harden be the PG from 2Q to 4Q except when he got benched after getting 7 TOs.
ReplyDeleteI don't see things have changed a lot. Only in the 1Q, Lin looked very confident to set up the offense.
Then Lin was back looking to defer to Harden to make plays. There was one play in 4Q when Harden looked at Lin and gave the ball back, possibly thinking "Oh yeah, you're the PG, here is the ball".
I don't know if Lin and Harden have figured out who should get the ball 70%-30% or 60%-40%. This is definitely a long process for them to play together. They still look like two PGs trying to play together.
I think they have figured out that Harden will be PG most of the game. This hasn't really changed this game. Letting JLin play PG and the Rockets play team ball is just to "get everyone going" to start off the game. Once everyone feels involved, they will put the ball back into Harden's hands.
DeleteMan, you said it. Nothing changed. Jeremy was just so damn good whenever he was allowed to run the offense that he made up for Harden horrendous TOs, defense and stat-padding.
DeleteNOH made sure to collapse on Jeremy because they knew Harden would never give him the ball back...and the strategy would have worked on a better shooting night. Hey, it worked last time.
Jeremy Lin has a very good game on both ends of the floor in a Rockets win. The Bulls manhandle a good Golden State team behind some great shooting from Kirk Hinrich. Good NBA night for me.
ReplyDeleteBlah on the GSW loss.
DeleteWaiting for highlights from blaiyan and geraldlin:)
ReplyDeleteWaiting for highlights from blaiyan and geraldlin:)
ReplyDeleteDid anyone mention Lin shut down Vasquez for this first time offensive and defensively and made him benched in the fourth!
ReplyDelete
