Lin still has the habit of helping one pass away -- and worst of all, giving up 3s in the corner to help. Lin is being stupid and the coaches are stupid for letting the players do this all season.
Good coaching like that of Chicago, San Antonio, Miami would not tolerate giving up corner 3s so easily. That's on McHale/Sampson.
It's not just Jlin. Harden is doing it as well, that's why Bayless caught on fire. They don't have a choice vs. Memphis because Rockets big men can't guard the Memphis big men 1 on 1.
It is deceiving that Memphis only has 8 offensive rebounds compared to Houston's 11, but most of Houston's offensive rebounds come from the bench and not the starters.
When Memphis game plan is to stop Harden...Jlin has to take over the game. Just like what he's doing in the 3rd quarter...by taking it to paint to get fouls and get to the free throw line.
T-Jones freezing out Lin and passes the ball to Harden instead of Lin who was calling for the ball. This is how he treats Lin after Lin text him every day from D-League.
People will see Harden as the only Rocket scoring 20+ in this game and think he's carrying the team but completely ignoring he's actually turning the ball over and shooting his team out of this game.
I wonder if McHale would tell Harden that they want to win with another 29 points and 9 turnovers performance coming.
Maybe McHale and Harden finally realize that Harden is a shooting guard and should just shoot the ball rather than dribbling and running the offense lol.
Nice explosive run by Lin, to dish failed at the rim. Hope that's on the highlights ... so nice to see Lin pick up a loose ball and make a decisive move on a broken play.
The one statistics that can tell if the rockets is doing well. Ratio of Lin's assist / Harden's assst. If it's greater than 1, the Rox is in good shape.
Houston needs to be careful because Memphis can get hot any moment now. Once Memphis starts hitting those open 3 point shots again this game will be over. On the flip side, once the Rockets 3 point specialists Garcia/Delfino starts hitting their open 3 point shots this game will be over.
Both teams are packing the paint really well right now. Making it difficult for dribble drive penetration layups.
The call on Lin was the worst one actually. I don't even know what that was supposed to be. Jeremy handed the ball off. Allen barreled through him and Harden. Foul on Jeremy.
beverley is a sneaky little bastard hes been freezing out lin WHENEVER it was possible for a long time. the retarded ape knows its the only why to get his minutes
Rockets the 2nd best scoring team in the league has been held to 64 points in the 4th quarter. But the Rockets has held their opponent to 66 points. If the Refs weren't cheating this game Houston would be leading right now.
He wasn't looking to shoot on that shot. He wanted to pass to Asik but at the last minute changed his mind. His momentum was too much and so the shot was too hard.
Lin needs to finish. Gotta look for his shot a little more. Passing first a little too much now. This is great team energy though. Fun to see him and Harden playing like they are on speed
yes, on a few bad plays by Lin and everybody. Nasty 3 misses by TJ at least 2. Harden bad 3 attempt.s But have to give it to them - they are focusing on this comeback, and they have time to do it. Take it to Gasol to foul him out. Lin needs to be conservative for 3 mins - refs won't cheap foul him out near the end.
J Lin showing his intangible effect on TEAM defense.
That stop on Conley, plus the rebound.
As Coach Musselman said, he gets you extra possessions.
The clutch three was just icing on the cake.
Except for last few minutes on offense before last couple plays, he has had an incredible, awesome game, both on offense and defense, even if box score doesn't show it.
SO, that Lin 3 was an un-scripted play - Harden kept the hold until he saw space, took it in and kicked out to Lin ... normally, he'd take it in but today, no fouls and a wall. Nice!
Harden again ... 3 unscored possessions by him, note it here. 2 bad fouls by Bev. Last one might have been fighting for a chance, but prev one wasn't smart.
Lin still has the habit of helping one pass away -- and worst of all, giving up 3s in the corner to help. Lin is being stupid and the coaches are stupid for letting the players do this all season.

DeleteIt is deceiving that Memphis only has 8 offensive rebounds compared to Houston's 11, but most of Houston's offensive rebounds come from the bench and not the starters.
ReplyDeleteLin is teaching Harden how to play defense during the time out and foul shot attempt by Z-Bo.
ReplyDeleteHarden can be such a big scorer if he's content to do more spot up shooting and less dribbling.
ReplyDeleteGarcia is ice cold, he needs to start hitting those wide open 3 point looks.
ReplyDeleteHe usually hits his shot 3 feet behind the arc. It is too close for him.
DeleteGasol is such a skill center and better than Asik and Grg Smith combined.
ReplyDeleteThey should try and see if Asik can hit the same type of jumpers that Gasol is hitting. I think Asik can...
DeleteOne of the best in the league. Morey sohuld be trying to get Marc, not Pau.
DeleteAsik is not mobile enough.
DeleteWhen Memphis game plan is to stop Harden...Jlin has to take over the game. Just like what he's doing in the 3rd quarter...by taking it to paint to get fouls and get to the free throw line.
ReplyDeleteIt is also up to his teammates and coaches to say, "Hey you guys need to start giving it to Jlin and let him take over."
DeleteT-Jones freezing out Lin and passes the ball to Harden instead of Lin who was calling for the ball. This is how he treats Lin after Lin text him every day from D-League.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Harden is still alpha dog no matter what Lin does.
DeletePeople will see Harden as the only Rocket scoring 20+ in this game and think he's carrying the team but completely ignoring he's actually turning the ball over and shooting his team out of this game.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if McHale would tell Harden that they want to win with another 29 points and 9 turnovers performance coming.
Clyde Drexler said, "Why would P. Beverly give it to a PF at the half court..." LOL
ReplyDeleteHarden quietly warming up. Asik had a nice dig of a bad pass from Jones and a slam. Much better than early in the season.
ReplyDeleteIf they stay focused, we have a chance.
The game is BORING
ReplyDeleteWith the announcer praising harden all day long
DeleteLin is playing almost all of the 3rd quarter. McHale is letting Lin earn his minutes tonight.
ReplyDeleteBox score may not show it, but Lin is playing a great, great game!
DeleteHopefully his effect on this game will be like L. A. Clippers victory (important reason for win, though box score doesn't show it).
...after yanking him early when he started hot (3-5).
DeleteHouston is lucky right now, Conley has missed some open 3 point shots.
ReplyDeleteT. Jones needs to catch and shoot and stop this catch dribbling crap...
ReplyDeleteAgain, Lin passes to him to shoot and he ends up dribbling and not passing it back to Lin to reset. Rookie!
DeleteJlin knows Harden has the hot hand...they need to keep Jlin bringing the ball up and make the plays and have Harden be the spot up shooter.
ReplyDeleteThe Rox needs a PG to break down the defense. They have everyone playing PG while Lin is the only legit.
ReplyDeleteIf Lin had Harden's usage, he probably scored 30 points in this game already.
ReplyDeleteLin is no where near Harden when it comes to creating for himself.
DeleteDamn. Lin seeing monster minutes now. So use to seeing him on the bench.
ReplyDeleteThis is good for playoffs. Lin needs to take more shots though.
That's because Chandler Parson's is still out.
DeleteJumper gone cold with his team freezing him out.
ReplyDeleteBut he's doing everything else. Robbed of 4-5 assists by his idiot froncourt.
Harden had better catch and shoot and the Rox will be alright.
ReplyDeleteWe need a3
ReplyDeleteLOL Asik.
ReplyDeleteAnother dunk/assist ruined. Jeremy needs bigs that can dunk a basketball.
Maybe McHale and Harden finally realize that Harden is a shooting guard and should just shoot the ball rather than dribbling and running the offense lol.
ReplyDeleteNice explosive run by Lin, to dish failed at the rim. Hope that's on the highlights ... so nice to see Lin pick up a loose ball and make a decisive move on a broken play.
ReplyDeleteThe one statistics that can tell if the rockets is doing well.
ReplyDeleteRatio of Lin's assist / Harden's assst. If it's greater than 1, the Rox is in good shape.
Lin driving really hard to rim. Like his aggressiveness. Just need finishers. Harden is shooting better now
ReplyDeleteHouston needs to be careful because Memphis can get hot any moment now. Once Memphis starts hitting those open 3 point shots again this game will be over. On the flip side, once the Rockets 3 point specialists Garcia/Delfino starts hitting their open 3 point shots this game will be over.
ReplyDeleteBoth teams are packing the paint really well right now. Making it difficult for dribble drive penetration layups.
Let's see what happens...
this +/- stat is getting laughable ... Dmo with highest +/- they have to fix that some season.
ReplyDeleteWho are these refs tonight LOL...they're drunk or something calling some bogus calls...
ReplyDeleteTJ!
ReplyDeleteHarden needs to understand that Refs are not calling fouls tonight. He needs to give the ball to Lin and trust Lin to find him...
ReplyDeleteAlright, let's tie it now!
ReplyDeleteRefs cheating Lin. Again.
ReplyDeleteJust making s**t up now. No foul whatsoever except being Asian.
Who was saying the officiating was good and consistent? The officiating is incompetent.
ReplyDeleteahh the retarded beverley handles again good job mchale
ReplyDeletePass the ball you idiot.
ReplyDeleteThis is good the Rockets need to learn how to fight through this type of officiating.
ReplyDeleteExcept I would have thought Rockets would get the home court Ref officiating.
Deletewow. 3 bad calls against houston now. harden is balling on D now
ReplyDeleteRefs are terrible terrible in this game. Calling no existence foul calls. The last call was the worst one.
ReplyDeleteThe call on Lin was the worst one actually. I don't even know what that was supposed to be. Jeremy handed the ball off. Allen barreled through him and Harden. Foul on Jeremy.
DeleteTJ!
ReplyDeleteBeverley just froze out Lin. WTF?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Jlin is saving his energy for the last 5mins. of this game.
ReplyDeleteHarden picking up the T after complaining about 3 blown calls by the Refs. Lin and trainer has to calm Harden down.
ReplyDeleteHarden loses his cool ... let's hope that doesn't change the momentum. Lin bear hugs Harden to try to avoid the T. TO by McHale, ...
ReplyDeleteStu, many bad calls in first half too.
ReplyDeletebeverley is a sneaky little bastard hes been freezing out lin WHENEVER it was possible for a long time. the retarded ape knows its the only why to get his minutes
ReplyDeletestop trolling with racist comments...
DeleteNotice how when Lin is guarding Bayless, he isn't hitting his shots now.
ReplyDeleteRockets the 2nd best scoring team in the league has been held to 64 points in the 4th quarter. But the Rockets has held their opponent to 66 points. If the Refs weren't cheating this game Houston would be leading right now.
ReplyDeleteT-Jones coming up big tonight for the Rockets. 5 Offensive rebounds for 10 rebounds total and 7 points so far.
ReplyDeleteWhen HARDEN knows he has to play D!
ReplyDeleteRefs are bull!
ReplyDeleteWow no foul on the Jlin drive...
ReplyDeleteDid you expect anything else from these refs?
DeleteThey said Jlin has to go attempt the layup..but he had 3 guys guarding him...he had P. Bev wide open...but Jlin got hit hard from behind...
DeleteA game that really misses Parson
ReplyDeleteCome on Lin should made that lay up.
ReplyDeleteHard when you're getting undercut like a running back.
DeleteJeremy gets TACKLED at the legs -- NO CALL.
ReplyDeleteGasol gets touched...FTs.
That wasn't a foul on the fast break?? Lin wasn't passing the ball, he was going up for the shit.
ReplyDeleteLOL...shot.
DeleteDelfino should not be in the game if he wont' shoot.
ReplyDeleteWtf is this i'm watching? Bball or MMA. Lin was tacked and no call wth
ReplyDeleteFINALLY he gets a 50/50 call. 1/12 ain't bad!
ReplyDeleteHere comes the Jlin show coming up...it's nearing the 5min. mark...
ReplyDeleteOkay they made up the call for Lin, LOL
ReplyDeleteI like it! Gasol 2 quick fouls.
ReplyDeleteAnother one on Gasol, keep after him!
ReplyDeleteJeremy is only 3-10 but he should have 10+ assists with competent bigs.
ReplyDeleteBad shot attempt by Harden...
DeleteBad miss by Lin and lost his composure.
ReplyDeleteBad miss on the shot. But he was HACKED hard with no whistle. Any black player gets that call and he knows it...hence the freakout.
DeleteHe wasn't looking to shoot on that shot. He wanted to pass to Asik but at the last minute changed his mind. His momentum was too much and so the shot was too hard.
DeleteRefs cheating Jeremy all game. He just got punched...no call.
ReplyDeleteCalls are for black players.
Bayless is playing good defense on Jlin. Jlin is not having a good shooting night.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, there have been multiple times where Bayless and Memphis has fouled Jlin very hard...and Jlin not getting any calls
DeleteMeh. He's fouling him all game. You can call that defense if you want.
DeleteJeremy has no jumper tonight. He started off hot, but McHale cooled him off with the early benching leading to the huge Memphis lead.
Jlin just needs to continue to be aggressive and his shots will start falling.
DeleteOmg! Lin is playing bad in 4th qty.
ReplyDeleteJust stfu man
Deletehe's constantly cheated by the refs. what can we expect?
Deletei cant watch that no more the nbsa is sooo racist. and im not even asian
ReplyDeleteDamn Lin gotta make that point blank shot
ReplyDeleteLin needs to finish. Gotta look for his shot a little more. Passing first a little too much now. This is great team energy though. Fun to see him and Harden playing like they are on speed
ReplyDeleteRefs are letting them punch and tackle and kill him. Why shoot?
DeleteA they blind?
ReplyDeleteyes, on a few bad plays by Lin and everybody. Nasty 3 misses by TJ at least 2. Harden bad 3 attempt.s But have to give it to them - they are focusing on this comeback, and they have time to do it. Take it to Gasol to foul him out. Lin needs to be conservative for 3 mins - refs won't cheap foul him out near the end.
ReplyDeleteHe keeps missing that in-between running jumper in the lane. It's like he wanted to pass but decided to shoot it.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, he's afraid to shoot because refs are cheating him hard.
DeleteVOTE NOW: ROX PLAYER OF THE GAME
ReplyDeleteSeems too tired. Bad calls all around.
ReplyDeleteHarden will either shoot us out of the game to the win - everybody seems cold.
ReplyDeleteWow, Harden... WTF was that?
ReplyDelete7 TOs on Harden
ReplyDeleteI think that's it.
ReplyDeletemight be right ... 1 mistake by Lin, several by Harden, and we're down 8
DeleteThey need to make a quick run right now...time is running out...
ReplyDelete8TOs on Harden
ReplyDeleteRefs decided this at the half.
ReplyDeleteNo point in complaining about anything.
My God, he just got PUNCHED IN THE FACE again. No call! 5th time this half!
DeleteJlin has to take that 3 point shot. The paint is clogged up.
ReplyDeleteGarcia should be in there, not Beverley. They need another shooter.
ReplyDeleteLin locked down Conley.
Harden- 28 points and 8 turnovers.
ReplyDeleteOnly 1 point and 1 turnover off the mark lol.
historic! 29/9
DeleteLin 4 TO harden 8 TO
ReplyDelete3 ball!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL Lin fouled to head, got mad, then a 3!
ReplyDeleteThen no look pass to Asik for the slam and Lin is saying Let's go!!!
DeleteRe by Lin, slam by Asik - our man is mad!
ReplyDeleteJeremy fucking Lin, I love you.
ReplyDeleteA bit of LINSANITY. He's playing angry because of racist refs.
ReplyDeleteLin got bumped by Z-Bo, gave the refs a dirty look and hits a three.
ReplyDeleteLinsanity!!!! Less than 5 minutes hes 60% from 3
ReplyDeleteJ Lin showing his intangible effect on TEAM defense.
DeleteThat stop on Conley, plus the rebound.
As Coach Musselman said, he gets you extra possessions.
The clutch three was just icing on the cake.
Except for last few minutes on offense before last couple plays, he has had an incredible, awesome game, both on offense and defense, even if box score doesn't show it.
Wow!
Stat guy robbed Lin and gave Harden that rebound. Unbelieveable.
DeleteIt was a Lin 3, Lin lock down D on Conley, Lin rebound, then Lin assist on Asik dunk.
Fuck yeah Lin!!!
ReplyDeleteSee his head swagger! He agrees with you!
DeleteThat's the Lin I wanna see.
DeleteJlin show nearing the end of this 4th quarter.
ReplyDeleteLike I said he just needs to stay aggressive...good things will come...
DeleteJust when I was afraid Lin would get blamed for the loss, Lin comes up with two big plays. Go down swinging Lin.
ReplyDeleteHe just needed to get mad ...
DeleteDid I tell you guys that McHale needs to unleash Linsanity which is like unleashing the Hulk.
DeleteOng, that no look to Asik made my day. Unbelievable high bball IQ.
ReplyDeletewow, Lin's no look pass! Asik!
ReplyDelete25 foot no look bounce pass to ASIK!? Now that's for the highlight reel
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...Jeremy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an orgasm...
DeleteLol lol lol
DeleteBe nice to Isabeli. She's just in awe.
DeleteI think McHale have found a new formation against Denver & Memphis.
ReplyDeleteHouston still needs to be careful...Memphis has been missing a lot of open 3 point shots.
ReplyDeleteHow funny if we win, the box scores will say Harden won it ...
ReplyDeleteLin needs to stay closer to his man. Being 10-12 ft away is not good
ReplyDeleteTime to send in Smith for Jones!
ReplyDeleteLin smash Lin smash!
ReplyDeleteLINNNNNNNN
ReplyDeleteLin for tying 3!
ReplyDeleteClutch shot!!
ReplyDeleteIce!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Mr. Clutch...
ReplyDeleteBingooo!!!
ReplyDeleteLin wit dat 3!
ReplyDeleteCHEAT THAT RACIST REFS
ReplyDeleteLOL and people want to freeze him out. GTFO haters.
ReplyDeleteLin for trey to tie the game!
ReplyDeleteJeremy 3!
ReplyDeleteThere you go Lin...stay aggressive!
ReplyDeleteUnreal. Can he really be this good??!!!! In clutch he must nearly 70% from 3.
ReplyDeleteThat 3 was about 4 ft beyond the arc. So much for long 2s.
DeleteSO, that Lin 3 was an un-scripted play - Harden kept the hold until he saw space, took it in and kicked out to Lin ... normally, he'd take it in but today, no fouls and a wall. Nice!
ReplyDeleteM.Gasol has never been a clutch free throw shooter just like his bro P.Gasol
ReplyDeleteAsik + Tjones + Harden as SF + Lin + Bev
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be it!
JLin clutch 3. Hooorraayyyyy
ReplyDeleteDamnnnniitttt should have went back to Jlin on that play...
ReplyDeleteHow did announcers say Toney Douglas hit Harden? TD isn't even playing for Memphis.
ReplyDeleteHarden Hero Ball going to lose it.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn it, Harden. Pass it.
DeleteJust call a jump ball LOL
ReplyDeleteInstant replay support ruling for what?
ReplyDeleteGODDAMN YOU HARDEN.
ReplyDeleteJeremy could have won this. Easily.
Wow, Harden with 2 hero balls, and Bev fouls to make it a 2 possession or 3 pt game. My heroes ... not.
ReplyDeleteGod, the Rockets are so predicable and numskull Bev foul Conley for no reason. Harden didn't feel like playing D after he got the no call.
ReplyDeleteSomeone screen shot that. He was walking up the court, not giving a shit.
DeleteTwo out of control drives by Harden. But McHale doesn't have the balls to bench him.
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE HELL J.HARDEN PASS THE DAMMMMNNN BALL!!! They're not calling fouls so you're antics are not going to work tonight.
ReplyDeleteWill Jeremy touch the ball again?
ReplyDeleteStupid bev foul
ReplyDeletethey called that ticky tak on Bev ? wtf.
ReplyDeleteSo, this is playoff bball ... nice game. What will McHale draw up?
ReplyDeleteDamn it. Give Jeremy the ball! Harden tried and failed already. TWICE.
ReplyDeleteWHOAAA...that should have been a foul on tony allen...
ReplyDeleteMchale should know by now that Harden is not Mr Clutch.
ReplyDeleteSIGH.
ReplyDeleteJeremy didn't even TOUCH IT.
F**K YOU HARDEN AND MCHALE.
MY GOD.
DeleteThis team will get SWEPT. And it will be 100% because of Harden Hero Ball.
are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteHaha! Good job harden.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting screwed on calls. GLad this is not a playoff game.
ReplyDeleteJ.HARDEN HAS SINGLE HANDEDLY LOST THIS GAME AT THE END OF THE 4TH QUARTER.
ReplyDeleteIf Harden gets a FOURTH chance, this is a joke.
ReplyDeleteHarden again ... 3 unscored possessions by him, note it here. 2 bad fouls by Bev. Last one might have been fighting for a chance, but prev one wasn't smart.
ReplyDeleteHarden u idiot
ReplyDeleteI will call this loss on Harden for trying to draw too much foul rather than passing
ReplyDeleteLet Lin launch one please
ReplyDelete
