Parsons is a good spot up shooter yes but he has limited playmaking/passing skills. Also don't use him on iso. Lawson on him and he couldn't take advantage and travel lol.
Parsons, Harden and Asik combined for 11 turnovers lol and it's only the middle of 3rd. How many possessions do they need to throw away? And how many turnovers do they need to get before McHale realize they are NOT playmakers?
they need to play montejunas. he is at least a 7'0" body that will stall some of these tip ins and penetrations when lin and asik is out. I believe he could shoot the 3s like delfino.
montejunas is soft right now so that makes him a perfect 3. then again, who knows what's going on in practices
Still have hope towards McHale? He just doesn't respect Lin at all. If TD or Berverly have a little spark, they rather start them than his starting point guard on any quarter.
McHale really thinks of Jeremy as trash -- a 3rd stringer he's only forced to play because of his contract. And if he misses a shot or TD does anything good...he's benched.
"Yeah - I let the asian kid to the work and then bench him to make my favorite sons look good in 4th. Oooops... didnt work - again. Lets put Lin back in... but not as PG."
I may not know basketball as well as others but simple logic is this. Let others handle the ball = TOs all over the place. Let Lin handle it = limited TOs.
I think McHale must be schizo. I don't know what coach is going to coach on any given game.
Guys, the rest of the cast is just having the law of averages come back to bite them in the ass. I think this is what happens when you live and die by the 3. I think overall, McHale hasn't done anything really outrageous; it just sucks blowing a lead.
Omer leads the team with 4 assists.
ReplyDeleteJeremy wild layup
ReplyDeleteSigh Asik and Pattersons :/
ReplyDeleteTy Lawson is definitely going hard at Lin. Dude looks like he wants to prove something.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to prove that last game where he scored about 20+ points wasn't a fluke and Lin can't defend him.
DeleteI think so, too. It's too bad that Lawson's doing a pretty shitty job of it though.
DeleteBut Lin is all ovah dat boy!
DeleteGood contest by Harden
ReplyDeleteHarden needs to take over (he does) when Lin is out
ReplyDeleteParsons is a good spot up shooter yes but he has limited playmaking/passing skills. Also don't use him on iso. Lawson on him and he couldn't take advantage and travel lol.
ReplyDeleteDelfino, 1 year contract, stealing minutes from rookies. Too bad Houston have no reliable 3 man with range
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about. Delfino is a steal for Houston. He has proven that. I like Delfino.
Deletesteadying vet influence, nebulous label
DeleteIggy on drive, Houston players parted like the red sea. Thank goodness it was a miss
ReplyDeleteRockets strong in 3rd 8pt lead so far, atm foul on TD timeout.
ReplyDeleteI think Lin's taken out for being too selfish on that fastbreak and missed layup.
ReplyDeleteNot selfish (McHale doesn't care if it goes in) but foolish.
DeleteHe's not gonna get that call and he shouldn't tempt fate.
Asik does have one offensive skill -- tip-ins.
ReplyDeleteQuick hook for Jeremy. McHale did NOT like that wild-layup. And I actually agree.
Jeremy better play the entire 4th, though. His playmaking and defense have been great.
Morris...haha
ReplyDeleteHarden hero ball is causing the game to come to a slow halt again. He is trying to get bail out by throwing his signature move.
ReplyDeleteimpressive mini trap by denver, but the ball handler was douglas.
ReplyDeleteand asik!
ReplyDeletewow, that was a crazy make by harden
ReplyDelete17 on 7. very deserving of the 80 million
ReplyDeletequalify this statement, at least for tonight
DeleteThey are really locking down on D (Nuggets).
ReplyDeleteHarden's and 1 is huge atm.
Time for Lin to come back b4 these Rox start to run around like chickens without their heads.
ReplyDeleteParsons, Harden and Asik combined for 11 turnovers lol and it's only the middle of 3rd. How many possessions do they need to throw away? And how many turnovers do they need to get before McHale realize they are NOT playmakers?
ReplyDeleteWith Lin on the bench, the 8 points lead has gotten down to 1 point lead now.
ReplyDeleteandre miller is like 40 yrs old. that was a good shot
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spin by morris.
ReplyDeleteGawd 1 pt game :/
don't know why we barely see JLin and TD on the court at the same time!
ReplyDeleteWe did, barely a couple of minutes in the 2nd quarter and then McHale sub out TD for Harden.
Deletemaybe we should say barely use....
DeleteCan someone tell me, in layman's terms, what 3-second violation mean? I still don't understand. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou have two defenders guarding a man without the ball for 3 seconds.
Deletecan't sit in the painted area near the rim for more than 3 seconds. have to "Clear" out then you can reenter.
DeleteThat's 3 seconds violation. I thought you meant defensive 3 seconds.
DeleteThank you, guys.
DeleteTo be precise - you cant stay in the paint for more than 3 seconds unless you are guarding an opponent.
Delete@John Ly:
DeleteWe are talking about the defensive three seconds violation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_three-second_violation
There is also the three seconds rule...
they need to play montejunas. he is at least a 7'0" body that will stall some of these tip ins and penetrations when lin and asik is out. I believe he could shoot the 3s like delfino.
ReplyDeletemontejunas is soft right now so that makes him a perfect 3. then again, who knows what's going on in practices
haha, miller LAZY
ReplyDeletebck to back Toney D.
Deletehe will not lost minutes. apple of this staff's eye
Lookout, the beard is starting to go nuts, look at them crazy eyes. ISO ball is popping up. Better put Lin back in control.
ReplyDeleteHehe, Toney!
ReplyDeleteGo TD!!! 2 steals 2 layups!
ReplyDeletewow TD w/ those consecutive steals :>
ReplyDeleteDOUGLAS!!!!!!!!! TWICE!!!!!!!!! GOOO!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit. Douglas.
ReplyDeleteDouglas is don't a good Lin impersonation tonight. He is showing the coach why they shouldn't ever bench him for Beverly.
DeleteThey also shoudlnt bench Lin for Douglas unless they really want Lin to rest. I would prefer to see Lin and Douglas at the same time.
DeleteHarden not falling for the penetration bait. very savvy
ReplyDeleteLol was like NOOOO DONT YOU DARE HARDEN YOU GET STRIPPED EVERYTIME!!!
DeleteHe got burned in the 2nd quarter and learned his lesson.
DeleteHopefully, he'll keep playing this unselfish way more and more.
Toney D - your new starting PG!?!
ReplyDeleteah, bad Toney shows up. check that statement
DeleteDouglas is ON baby.
ReplyDeleteFucking Douglas is Hustle-ing.
ReplyDeleteHarden's minutes are crazy long....
ReplyDeleteParsons ball handler...lol
ReplyDeleteFAvorite son gets those type of plays
ReplyDeleteGOD DAMN IT PARSONS YOU HAVE NO FKING HANDLES DON'T ISO
ReplyDeleteThis is SO frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThey keep taking the lead to 8 and let them catch up with stupid plays.
Parsons ISO...REALLY?!?!? DUDE HAS NO HANDLES!
CP stumbles to end 3rd qtr...
ReplyDeleteCaman guys, blue-eyed-hearthrob's done more than enough good to justify a couple of shitty plays.
ReplyDeleteOmer needs 6 more assists for a triple double. Or, 6 more TOs.
ReplyDeleteParsons iso is so much fail lol. Coach's favorite gets this kind of play call even he's bad at it.
ReplyDeleteParson ! I knew u would turn the ball over .
ReplyDelete4th qtr. Let's go!
ReplyDeleteJEREMY STILL ON THE BENCH????
ReplyDeleteF**K YOU MCHALE. NOTHING CHANGES
LOL, Nuggets take the lead already.
DeleteWhat the HELL is going on???
no harden no lin
ReplyDeletefinally a TO
DeleteWhere's LIN???
ReplyDeleteLet Parsons be the ballhandler to develop him into a star.
DeleteI think Douglas playing well cut into Lin's minutes. And everyone knows McHale will never take out Parsons and Harden.
ReplyDeleteold problem of his rotation....
Deletedoes he need spark again?
bad start for 4th... oh no... No Lin in sight...
ReplyDeleteMcHale substitution pattern is the X factor for Denver.
ReplyDeleteSeriously!!!
DeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteNothing to say here.
This rate we're gunna lose.
Guys. Chill. =P
ReplyDeleteStupid McHale doesn't know what is he doing.
ReplyDeleteStill have hope towards McHale? He just doesn't respect Lin at all. If TD or Berverly have a little spark, they rather start them than his starting point guard on any quarter.
ReplyDeleteMcHale must go.
DeleteThis was a horrendous insult and a terrible coaching move.
what is that?
ReplyDeletehe puts back Harden?
Douglas at the point? oh no..
ReplyDeletetoney D wants that starter job!
ReplyDeleteI give up.
ReplyDeleteThis team is SCREWED.
McHale really thinks of Jeremy as trash -- a 3rd stringer he's only forced to play because of his contract. And if he misses a shot or TD does anything good...he's benched.
George Karl is thinking how stupid McHale is, but how great so that the Nuggets can win.
ReplyDeleteThis is utter crap.
Karl isn't exactly out coaching McHale.
DeleteOops I meant McHell.
DeleteNot my point.
Deletedelfino for asik...lol. and promptly gives up offensive rebound
ReplyDeleteLOVE that coaching staff
Still no Lin yet!
ReplyDeleteAsik out... Nuggets getting offensive rebounds..
ReplyDeleteParsons wants the PG job now
ReplyDeleteParsons another TO... what's going on??? Let Lin in!!!
ReplyDeleteFinally! a real PG comes in
ReplyDeletelin is back, time to get back on track and win
ReplyDeleteLOL EFF YOU MCHALE.
ReplyDeleteYOU LOST THIS LEAD.
What the HELL will it take for McHale to stop treating Jeremy like garbage???
DeleteI have no idea. He really, really, really has NO RESPECT for Jeremy as a player.
Look at the scoreboard you big dumb meathead. All this is on you.
Jeremy will probably be blame for... for... for Gallinari hitting 3s.
awww. Denver is pulling away...
ReplyDeleteGallo tees up Parsons. And rockets getting unhinged
ReplyDeleteLin was out way too long. I just don't get it. :( Harden wants to be hero now. :( TO.
ReplyDeleteGame is over they totally lost momentum.
ReplyDeleteMcHale is an idiot.
Totally correct! Deja Vu all over again!
DeleteTotally correct! Deja Vu all over again!
Deleteharden and his TO, shame
ReplyDeleteThat was a bad ref call.
Deleteok
DeleteGallo tees up Delfino! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen playing against top teams, Rox can't reply on 3s to win games.
ReplyDeleteagree
DeleteHOU rockets coaching staff!!!
ReplyDeletestill love's Jeremy's reply--
Deletewell, his record speaks for himself.
hahahaha. makes me chuckle everytime
what is going on with the coaching, OMG
DeleteIts too late to put Lin back in.And then blame Lin for the lose.
ReplyDeleteLin is in. 'hope it's not too late...
ReplyDeleteI don't blame Douglas. He's playing well. But the minutes he should cut into is Harden's, not Lin's. We all know it will never happen though.
ReplyDeleteAnd McHale's brilliant idea to let his guys with the most turnovers to handle the ball lol.
Exactly. Harden is a great player but needs to sit when he's hurting the team.
Delete8 points behind only, lets hope for the best
ReplyDeleteThis calamari Gallinari guy is taking over the game...please, somebody, do something....
ReplyDeleteCalamari over Sausage tonight.
Deletenuggets lead by 8... Let's go LIN!
ReplyDeleteMcHale must be betting money on Houston lose.
ReplyDeleteNOTHING HAS CHANGED.
ReplyDeleteNothing. So long as McHale is here. Jeremy will be considered garbage.
He puts in Lin after the game has shifted...so he can share in the loss.
God, what a P.O.S.
LIN!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJeremy tried to draw a foul. DEN is homecourt
ReplyDeleteSo. how much was Houston up when Lin was taken out in the third. Because by the time he came back in and got an offensive possession they were down 5.
ReplyDeleteSmooth J by Jeremy to stop the bleeding
ReplyDeleteLin looks a bit winded.
ReplyDeleteRox coaching pushed the self-destruct button when they took Lin out in the 3rd.
ReplyDeletePatterson watches the offensive board
ReplyDeleteMcHale thought bubble:
ReplyDelete"Yeah - I let the asian kid to the work and then bench him to make my favorite sons look good in 4th. Oooops... didnt work - again. Lets put Lin back in... but not as PG."
McHale thought bubble:
Delete"OK - lets leave the guy with the worst TO numbers and the worst D in the game. Make the asian kid risk his body to save the game."
I may not know basketball as well as others but simple logic is this. Let others handle the ball = TOs all over the place. Let Lin handle it = limited TOs.
ReplyDeleteI think McHale must be schizo. I don't know what coach is going to coach on any given game.
He suffers from OCD:
Delete-Lin must not look good
-Gotta treat Lin like a stepson
-Treat everyone else like sons
all time defense is required and good passing game is all they need to get back and win
ReplyDeletethis game invalidates the credit we just gave to morey. smh
ReplyDeleteLawson shoots a 3. and delfino bricks a lin pass
ReplyDeleteRockets are panicking and Harden is a TO machine and cant' score with his bail out move.
ReplyDeleteharden bad body language. thankfully parsons plays D by drawing a foul
ReplyDeleteOK McHell should've pulled Harden by now.
ReplyDeleteHarden out. TD in!
DeleteLin's the only one still trying... draws the charge.
ReplyDeleteGREAT job by lin
ReplyDeleteeverybody bleeding, be assertive
DeleteLin is really keeping this game in check by himself.
ReplyDeleteLIN = GAME CHANGER!!!
ReplyDeletefinally delfino scores off a lin rondo assist
ReplyDeleteLin needs to call for the abll now
ReplyDeletefinally sausage man nailed a long one
ReplyDeleteJeremy SINGLEHANDEDLY leading a comeback.
ReplyDeleteThis is 100% Jeremy 0% everyone else.
DeleteEven that layup by Parsons was Jeremy taking defensive attention away from him.
finally playing like a team
ReplyDeletesee how Rox regained their composure with Lin running the show?
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY reason why Rockets are back is in the game is because of Lin. Whoever can't see that is BLIND!
ReplyDeleteYou posted before I did, but I totally agree!
DeleteUp next: Harden hero ball!
ReplyDeleteRockets back to losing streak style,its clear who is the best player who can control the game ,its Lin.
ReplyDeleteI don't care about the stats; Lin has a positive effect on the game. If you can't see that you're fucking blind.
ReplyDeletei mean a team led by lin
ReplyDeleteGo rockets......
ReplyDeleteGuys, the rest of the cast is just having the law of averages come back to bite them in the ass. I think this is what happens when you live and die by the 3. I think overall, McHale hasn't done anything really outrageous; it just sucks blowing a lead.
ReplyDeletelet lin rule and hope harden don't play hero ball
ReplyDeletecome on...grab the board
ReplyDeletesomebody stop gallinari plssss...
ReplyDeletethat's on the HOU front court
ReplyDeleteLin throwing his body like it's the playoff
ReplyDeleteno more TO, all defense and make all shots
ReplyDeleteIt's like role reversals. Denver live and die by the 3, and Houston is attacking the paint?
ReplyDeleteWho the heck is leaving Gallinari open all day?
ReplyDeleteLIN!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at Lin taking it to the 6'11" man.
ReplyDeleteLin looks like he is in Linsanity mode now.
ReplyDeleteMcHale really need to leave .
ReplyDeleteLin missed a FT.
ReplyDeleteHe lost the game.
That's what McHale is gunna say.
Not to mention Lin's single TO was the game breaker.
DeleteLINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet feed by lin
ReplyDeleteanytime you score within 4 seconds, that is better than a 3
DeleteGK is like:
ReplyDelete"Man I am so picking up Lin when his contract expires"
Not too late before the trade deadline.
Deletedelfino wild bailout
ReplyDeletedidn't see foul honestly
DeleteONE MAN COMEBACK
ReplyDeleteEAT THAT MCHALE
Ya really mchale .......
DeleteJeremy is really working hard .come on rockets coaching staff huh now what.
ReplyDeletefaried footwork very impressive
ReplyDeleteDelfino wants to play pg again ,omg ! So messed up
ReplyDeleteLin misses and Lawsons takes it on very nice move
ReplyDeleteharden with slap defense
DeleteLawson just owns Harden
ReplyDeleteOh well GG guys/gals, Lin made it respectable 4th.
ReplyDeleteEffing Harden's D is pathetic.
ReplyDeleteLOL asik, being challenged drops to 24% chance going in
ReplyDeleteOmer just cost Lin ANOTHER assist.
ReplyDeleteAsik...
ReplyDeleteYou are worthless.
Srsly you suck...
