PRESEASON GAME 6: Rockets v. Hornets

Post #1 » by **TMACFORMVP** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 12:22 am

On right now, on NBATV! Watch it!

Our D is looking better (against the Hornets though)..Kmart and Lin bricking.

Jones looked a little too excited to begin, starting and playing vs two college buddies will do that, but he appears to have calm down. Love his style.

Parsons as always is finishing everything.

I would like to see Asik get more touches... f*ckin lottery wrecker :cry:

Martin is a different player from last year, attack... or at least driving toward the direction of the rim

Lin is so damn fast... but seriously his finishing is so gotdamn ugly.
Looks just like a combo of Dragic/Lowry except Dragic finished everything and Lowry always looks under control.

I hope he wont let the contract and bad start weigh him down.

I'm concerned about Lin's ability to finish in traffic.He's not in NY anymore so he doesn't get those ticky tack fouls to bail him out.

Looks like he is forcing it, and making some bad decisions.

Greg Smith looks as though he has really good speed, runs the floor very smoothly, and has really learn to create space for himself in the paint.

White cant finish ****.
I dont know why they're posting him up down low. He's a playmaker not a finisher.

Delfino has never met a shot he doesn't like.

smith can be a decent backup center if he can limit his fouls

No DMo tonight?

Oh, for god's sake...finally get a game on a network that I have and the signal is out on just about every freaking channel in that range!!!

Called Uverse again today, asking for updates on them adding CSN Houston by the time the season starts. I like Uverse, so I'm willing to be patient, but if this drags into the regular season I'm going to have to make a change.

again robin lopez smashes lin, this time to the ground. he just strait up hate's asians.

daam that sucks e, u gotta get a rockets channel going before the season starts man. if you cant watch any games, then whose life can the rockets sabotage with their infamous "Make [Insert Poster Name] Suffer Gameplan"? definintely not me, i wanna keep my hair on my head. next time you call them and they cant do anyhing about the channel, just tell them you'll cut their throats if you cant watch the rockets.

How did Jeremy Lin set the league on fire in NY? He cant make a layup or hit an open shot here.

is it the water?

Yea I understand a couple bad games, but not one decent preseason game? He speed is amazing, no way he is still affected right?

He doesn't even look like he belongs on the court once he gets in the lane... I'm really starting to get a lil worried.

That Delfino/Parsons/Livingston lineup was awesome though, I forget how good Livingston was supposed to be.

Teams have scouting reports on Lin. He just can't keep doing what he did in NY and still be effective. He needs to change his game a bit to avoid getting trap. Once he's trap, he's like a deer in the headlights. Either he makes ill advised shots or turns the ball over.

well 15 players on the roster
following will make the team for sure

1. Lin
2. Parsons
3. Asik
4. Martin
5. Patterson
6. Jones
7. Lamb
8. Motiejunas
9. White
10. Morris
11. Delfino
12. Douglas
(maybe trade coming soon...)

if I'm the GM I'll like to keep Smith and Livingston

so one more spot left

Machado or Forbes?

i think it will be Machado

Babyface?

Yea I didnt notice size difference always thought he was big...

But he IS a lot stronger and some much quicker! He was manhandling people in the paint and has good hands.

Well, I think it has made him muscle bound and unable to lift his hands over his head. He is only averaging 1 rebound ever 6 minutes. JJJ get one every 3.
