i didn't get to watch the game, so stop blaming me, jerks!!!

It was just this jerk blaming you, (I think.)

Mandry the beast. Don't make me say it!!!!!!!!!!

We need Chuckwagon or Mandry back. Our PF problems are instantly solved!!!!!

Actually, Scola would still be doing well here also. Maybe we shouldn't have amnestied him. I'm just saying that while I think Patterson WILL be a great PF, he is not there yet. I also agree that we should have seen Moju or Jones on court by now. Play them late 1st or early 2nd McHale if you aren't confident with them playing down the stretch.

is there a deadline if you want to amnesty someone?
if we aren't going into rebuild mode we should've keep scola
this is why i hate morey and this team so much
make up your own mind what do you want to do
i thought missing out on howard, deron and amnesty scola that they are going into rebuild mode
then all the sudden they are trying to go to the playoff with new faces

Jeremy Lin play terrible defense tonite. He just let lillard scored 8 points in OT. (2 wide open 3 pointers and a cut to the basket). The rocket shouldn't 't sub in Lin and Patterson in 4th quarter with 5 minutes remaining. Morris and Douglas was playing good D and made Lillard look like a scrub tonight. (I can't believe I'm praising TONY DOUGLAS) Instead Lillard became a stud once Lin and Patterson subs in.....

And the Rocket offense are too predictable, can't believe cole aldrich has post moves lol. They can't run play harden or lin 40 mins in this type of offense. WTF are they doing not playing the rookies, are the coach really try to compete for the western final or something. GIVE SOME PLAYING TIME TO EVERYONE lol

aldrich and morris hardly get any playing time before
so they are as good as rookie

the offense is predictable because we got harden after the preseason
he hardly get anything practice with the team
easiest way just play iso all day long

yeah the offensive sets are too dependable on the superstar like harden creating a play. Which is alright, but if its the only offensive set u got, its not going to last. Especially with Harden playing 40 mins a night, back to backs.

Questioning how good mchale is as an offensive coach. Cole aldrich is a scrub, but hes a good scrub. Plus i think our rookies need playing time. Terence jones is ready. Royce white and motiejunas can help.

Rooks can help, especially on B2B games!!!!!!

What's it going to hurt?

back to reality lol

[kent335]

We're 2-1 after three games. We could have been 3-0 had just one more 3 pointer or 1 more layup in regulation went in. Most times, those shots would have gone in, but playing in a back to back, the starters were gassed. I'm happy with the way the team started. I mean before the season started, most fans were looking forward to tanking to get a lottery pick that may or may not pan out.

Lin has been playing about as good as the lottery pick PGs that he is going up against. Harden has been beasting.

I think most fans would have been really happy at the start of the season if the Rockets had gone 2-1 after the first three games, since two of those were on the road.

[rocketsballin]

^^ 3 days off gives them plenty of times for layup drills...for those who can actually make a layup (not omer asik)

asik is just as bad as jared jeffries when it comes to easy layups/dunks. i cannot believe he cant make a **** simple layup

[Vator]

I blame this one on the coach. Yeah they missed an insane amount of layups, but I attribute much of that to fatigue. 3 games in 4 nights...you NEED to better untilize your bench players. Period.

[rocketsballin]

yeah there's that too. someone said earlier to use the rookies in the first half only till they either earn a rotation spot or get sent to dleague

Lol nice. We do the same thing, but they're SO much better at it. I'm almost jealous.

I suspect that McHale was waiting until this multi-day rest period to get the rookies primed for playing time. Sensible move: young players often get jitters if thrown into the spotlight early on, and keeping them on the bench let them observe and learn. If they continue not to get minutes, however, I'll quickly start to get critical.

Anyway, this loss was disappointing, but there were quite a few positives here. Even on his worst shooting night so far (missing point-blank layups is never a good sign), Harden still broke the 20-point mark and was an all-around excellent contributor. Lin's defense needs work, but his court vision and playmaking skills are as excellent as ever. Douglas played much better, probably recognizing that his future is on the line. Aldrich can ball, and might be able to teach Asik something about finishing at the rim.
