56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted November 1, 2012 Mike Brown is one of those guys fitted for a cordinator or side coach spot, not a head coach. Good for defense but the man doesnt know how to run a team or a offense. If he doesnt change the offense up by the fourth week of play, hes gone... bank that.

BwareDWare94 723 Posted November 1, 2012 I was quite impressed by all three of Houston's big acquisitions, especially Asik. He's not nearly as offensively inept as advertised, and he practically made Greg Monroe irrelevant. His defense makes this team tick, and I'm also wondering if we shouldn't start Greg Smith at the 4 after he played so well. Hopefully the injury he had isn't serious. How in the flying fuck did none of these three--Terrence Jones, Royce White, and Donatas Motiejunas--see the floor? I fucking hate Kevin McHale with the fire of a thousand suns. The guy is stupid beyond stupid and should not be a head coach in this league. ARGH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted November 1, 2012 I saw some things I liked and some I didn't in the opener for the Suns. We got down early because our bench was DREADFUL. They picked it up later in the game though and we came back from 17 down (although, all for not as we still lost). Dragic is awesome, I see flashes of Steve Nash in him every time he runs down the floor then under the basket. He's a better defender than Nash, but not nearly as gifted with his shot selection. Going right to the basket, he's golden and fearless. But when he has to spot up and hit a jumper, I usually cringe. Our big men, Beasely, Gortat, and Scola really need to post up and dominate inside the paint. They don't fight for boards nearly as much as they should. We should dominate the glass in most games, IMO, unless we are facing a true and true center like Hibbert. Also way too many turnovers and a general lack of care for the ball. Overall, we are pretty average. lol. Just like always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I miss him already and wish Houston would have signed him instead of Lin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milla4Prez63 678 Posted November 1, 2012 Houston had something going with Lowry/Dragic, I don't know why they blew it up for Linsanity. At least they managed to get Harden, that should give them a decent future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted November 1, 2012 Dragic is a fine three point shooter when he receives a pass, it seems. I miss him already and wish Houston would have signed him instead of Lin. I am not talking threes. He's fine for a 3 here and there. It's just that not enough of his shots drop. I am sure it won't be like that all year, it was just one game after all. And he will get better every day. There nobody else in the league I would rather have than Dragic taking over for Nash. Like I said before, when he has the ball and runs the length of the court, I see Steve Nash all over again. Needs a little more time, but he's gonna be very very good. Already is pretty darn good. lol He has more energy and fight than any other player on the court, and that's awesome. Both Lowry and Dragic outplayed Lin in game 1. While Lin wasn't bad by any stretch, I expect this pattern to continue. Rockets failed big time, IMO in this regard. Why we traded Dragic away for Aaron damn Brooks to begin with baffles me. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted November 1, 2012 I remember Aaron Brooks looked like a stud at one point. He's fallen off the map to the point of just being a guy capable of giving you a solid offensive night occasionally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted November 3, 2012 Just wait until Harden starts having his 2-11 or worse nights. Thunder looked a lot better tonight, but Ibaka's jumper is just the slightest bit off. Lamb came in for the final minute of the game and dropped his first NBA bucket from way behind the arch. Martin played really well tonight, imo and his defense actually looked pretty good.
