The Rockets have some serious defensive potential.

Jeremy Lamb is a smooth operator

Definitely a fun team to watch, however they are really weak defensively. Barnes is pretty good, but I would have draft Drummonds (watched him in HS a lot) instead, and let him develop behind Bogut. That would have been a sick team.

Not if they don't get back on D. Dejuan Blair just beat the whole team for a layup

Jeremy LAMB is going to be really good in this league...

That's what happens when a young team is playing against vets. They're gonna make their share of mistakes but you can see in half court sets that when they're motivated they can have an impact.

dam. Asik can pass.

Lamb and Asik have been really good. Co-sign the guys complimenting Lamb right now. Look how often Lin doesn't get to quarterback and just hands off...Why sign him and not use him properly? He's practically the off guard.

Lin has done nothing to impress in this game. Where is the Linsanity? Is his knee shot or only at 85%?

The Spurs Ball Movement is too crisp for these young Rockets.

Jeremy Lin - 0/9 with 1 assist in 23 minutez

ALL THAT POTENTIAL WE LET GO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

He hasn't been featured at all. He gets down court and immediately has to pass and clear out. They finally gave him a pick and roll to run and he produced.

Eddy Curry went the wrong way on that pick.

Im not a Lin fanboy, but McHale's simply not using Lin correctly...

Asik with 12, 10, & 5 in 25 minutes...nicee

Agreed. He's spot up shooting from the perimeter and despite being a decent shooter that's not at all playing to his strengths.

Jeremy is 90% right now and 1/10 from the field.

The Rockets Half court defense and transition defense has fallen apart.

Quick Kick · Post #216 » by **Quick Kick** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 7:57 pm

So every six months he improves in integers of five?

So by 2019 he should be 160% and godlike. Linsanity Part Deux, coming to a decade near you.

When we had JR in the mix we were good against Wash. I can't wait to see Amare and Melo together though. Also I feel Felton should work on taking smarter shots, his shot selection last game was iffy.

Fixed

If I didn't hate the Rockets so much I'd add them to my league pass, they're have nice potential but are sloppy on the offense and it's hard to watch. Once Lin settles in he could average 14/6 lead his team to 25-35 wins.

boomann21 · Post #218 » by **boomann21** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 8:05 pm

Machado is a nice pg. We should of picked him up so when our old guys retire we could have him waiting in the background.

@Jonathan_Feigen
Lin had an open 3 I really thought would be first FG. Nope. His 0 for 9. Has 1 assist in 22 minutes.

Have any of the "analysts" mentioned how often Lin was pushed off to the wing and left without the ball? Mchale could be the death of Linsanity...Let the kid orchestrate!
