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

[markangelo]

leave it to Casspi to screw up a fast break 

We can't miss these open opportunities 

 

[Peep Game]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm turnovers

 

[do work son]

these lin jump pass turnovers

we have no idea how to cover the PnRs. lin keeps chasing over, but not nearly hard enough to force cp3 to do anything and just leaves DJ and cp3 running straight at asik. when he goes under, he doesn't get through quick enough, and they end up having to switch, or cp3 just hits an open shot. pathetic

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

CP3 making Lin his *****!! 

 

[do work son]

right after i posted that, lin drives, and brings it all the way out. dribbles between his legs and shoots a contested 20 footer against deandre jordan. did not pass once the whole possession.

 

[Peep Game]

You would think the Rockets would take advantage of Blake not being there, but with massive turnovers along with the whistles blowing everytime the Clippers miss a shot, it's hard to win.

 

[do work son]

we have 12 turnovers, they have 3. the difference to this game.

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

Our offense has just gone stagnant 

we got a 15 pt lead then we stopped playing D and started turning over  the ball and not passing it smh

 

[markangelo]

Canaan looked decent out there except for his turnovers… He needs to slow it down a bit and make simple/sharp passes… We got this fellas

How the hell does that even happen man ?

 

[do work son]

Canaan clearly looked like he was trying way too hard. His best possession was when he looked most comfortable, shocking I know, but used a screen and hit an open 3 on stride.

They gotta start fighting through these picks or just blitz the ball handler. Make Paul beat us with 15 foot jumpers

 

[rosegoldsluggs]

 Dont even kno Peep

Prolly cuz we have no offensive system 

the players do what they wanna do so they go when they wanna go and stop when they wanna stop 

Canaan played decent except for them TOs..

Its his 1st game really playin tho so hes gonna get there eventually 

 

[Peep Game]

There's good ol double jump turnover Lin again

 

[markangelo]

We get to see a clippers possession where CP3 splits the pick n roll and get to the paint with ease, getting Barnes a nice dunk.. then on the other hand, we get a possession where Jeremy Lin drives to the paint, leaves his feet, and throw a bad pass to no one (supposed to be Parsons)… No surprise why the clips are leading as of this moment 

 

[Peep Game]

This feels familiar

 

[do work son]

no jordan hamilton tonight? why mchale?

lin is 1 for 7.

1.

for.

7.

8 million dollars against the cap.

 

[do work son]

i swear every crawford shoots, he just screams, and any little contact becomes a foul. we as a team need to start utilizing the scream.

 

[Peep Game]

That was a miserable game. After a certain point, you never felt like the Rockets would truly flip a switch. Doesn't even matter who's in the lineup, it's been the same all year. **** Chris Paul. Unlike other starts who flop (Lebron, Wade, Durant, Harden, etc), he's the only 100% star ***** on the court. ****** hate him, don't even care how good he is. He'd think he has 4 rings or something.

0 of 4 versus the Clippers. What ******* ever. Lin went like 1/9, yet McHale kept him in. Not sure why Hamilton didn't play. Casspi continues to stink.

 

[do work son]

i'd rather canaan start over lin. lin seems only useful when he can come off the bench and just score.

 

[markangelo]

I really like Canaan… dude is quick, can shoot, and a decent defender..I kinda wanted the rockets to win just so they can prove to themselves that they can beat them but whatever… that 4th spot is a pretty strategical aim at this point instead of the 3rd… Still would've been nice to have beaten the clips at least once this season, but every time we play them, we seem scared for some reason, which is why we needed a Bev type player tonight.. 

In a perfect scenario, it would be ideal to have another enforcer/bruiser/nasty type player on this team (MWP? Captain Jack?) so that we don't get bullied around so much… ahhhh I hate the clippers/CP3 so much 

 

 

[Peep Game]

Agree about Canaan. He should've started and just had Lin come off the bench as usual.

Agree about an enforcer type person on the team. Garcia can't be the only obvious person .

Asik's girlfriend

Spoiler

 

[markangelo]

To repair or not to repair, that is the question

 

[Peep Game]

I honestly rather Bev just get the surgery and be better long term.

 

[Humbled]

Dude dodged a bullet. Says he should be back in 2 - 3 weeks

 

[Peep Game]

^Nice
