HOUSTON ROCKETS Thread '14/'15 - Offseason - Picks (+ Jason Terry)

[Peep Game]

Let's hope there's something even close to a repeat of this, except, leaving with a victory instead

 

[markangelo]

Ugly first quarter so far 

No offensive plays whatsoever 

 

[Peep Game]

McHale needs to be fired before they head back to Houston.

 

[markangelo]

As it looks right now, we are destined to be matched with OKC/SAS/LAC/POR and I don't think we can win against any of them in a seven game series. Portland might fall off the top 4 with GSW looking to replace them (unless Rockets get their s*** together/trade Asik for a good piece/Asik stops being a p**** and actually contributes). Regardless, as of right now, I can't see us winning against any of those teams so there has to be changes made i.e. coaching change, Asik situation being handled, bench contribution, improving on the defensive end…….    /rant

Pretty good and truthful article

Please get this win against the spurs tonight 

Give the fans a bit of happiness after those two losses 

 

[Peep Game]

Yaaaaaay, no Harden tonight

 

[markangelo]

f***…. Lin at sg? 

 

[Peep Game]

That's the plan, both Lin and Bev starting togther

 

[do work son]

i can't wait until we get rid of mchale and lin. i can't tell who i hate more. probably lin because we signed him to replace dragic, who is a million times better than lin

 

[Peep Game]

Lin could still be an asset, unlike McHale. And as I said that, Lin gets blown by for a layup

 

[do work son]

lin stinks. hopefully we can swindle someone for an actual piece we can use.

Just how does Lin suck? For a guy that had the third most win shares last year (behind Beard and Asik), being demoted and not having any P&R plays and other plays ran for him this year, how does he suck?

 

[markangelo]

^he's too inconsistent

 

[Peep Game]

His consistency is maddening, but I do think he can have value to this team.

 

[markangelo]

I actually agree…Once we get everybody healthy, he can be a great 6th man..

i know he's your favorite player and all, he's poop. no middle ground with him. too inconsistent, and still makes stupid stupid decisions. for the money we're paying him, i still wish we had dragic or lowry over lin.

 

[jewbacca]

Letting Dragic go and then signing Lin to a comparable deal was a terrible move by DM.

 

[markangelo]

I miss Dragon..

 

[Peep Game]

^Same here.

And well look at that, another Lin time debating whether you love or hate Lin. Tonight, love

 

[markangelo]

was just about to post that 

Well played, Lin 

 

[do work son]

lin shutting me up this 4th quarter. wish he could do this consistently. once we get healthy, hopefully he can do this with the second team.

Letting Dragic go and then signing Lin to a comparable deal was a terrible move by DM.

i think they lowballed dragic a little + dragic really wanted to go back to phoenix.

 

[markangelo]

Howard and Lin coming through 

GG fellas

Edit: Jones too 

 

[hongcouver604]

I agree that he's inconsistent, but you can argue that his minutes have been inconsistent, too. McHale is terrible managing his playing time and is staggering his minutes... McHale has him on a short leash and yanks him out the game after a few missed shots or a stupid TO. He's top 5 in TTS% among PGs, opposing PGs have the lowest FG% in the paint against him, and he's top 5 at scoring in the paint for all PGs. His playmaking ability as a PG might be shaky, but he doesn't suck.

 

[sofa king awsm]

Lin does well against spurs

i have faith in him
