Every fast pg in the league torches the lakers... And we had for the past couple seasons a couple laker kills. Brooks, Dragic, Lowry... Wasn't Alston a lamer killer too?

I was think Lin would follow :(

Howard thinking he made a good desicison

well rocket team can't handle the bigs... and Harden typical offense... dribble dribble lose ball... start chucking threes...

Harden is a good player, rocket needs ball movement to make the other team do defense and give the ball to him to score... stop doing ISO.

Great showing by Parsons. Good ball distribution by Lin. Loved to see that Terrence Jones got meaningful minutes.

Now for the Jazz tomorrow night!

Time to start Morris at the 4, we have too many offensive liabilities in the starting lineup

Patterson is too soft out there, he would get the ball 5 feet from the basket and still shoot a jumper

Lin is scared of getting blocked, he'll never score with that mentality

Morris and Smith are the only 2 that don't look scared out there

He is losing faith in his teammates after the first or second game (give or take)? He's been doing this since he got here a...

Yes, too bad Laker bigs just too powerful. Asik is good, but not good enough for them.

This is game #10. Its a big enough sample size where you can start to sense a pattern.

Jeremy Lin is shooting 35% from the field 26% from 3pt line with a True shooting percentage of 46%. That is completely unacceptable.

His shot isnt falling. I accept that. He will shoot better.

What scares me is how bad his ability to finish around the rim is. I saw it in preseason and i'm seeing it now. He just has trouble completing his layups against nba bigs. Half the time his layups dont even draw irons.

I dont know what he did in NY but he's not doing it in Houston. I hope his knee isn't 100%.

I think Lin threw up his first floater of the season today, and he made it. I don't know why it took so long for him to utilize it since hes afraid of attacking the basket

He's not driving towards the rim as much, with the offense they're running, he's at the corner most of the time, I'm surprised that he did a lot in this game.

No he goes to the rim plenty enough. Its just that when he get there he's been struggling mightily this season.

I thought he was a great finisher in NY. Lin is playing like the alien from space jam took his power.

It seems like when he goes to the rim and stops...he doesn't have the lift like he did in NY to shoot over the big guys...really weird. I'm more concerned about that too...cuz the perimeter shooting will come around.

It is what it is, though this team just really needs more time.

agree...they still look a bit lost in the halfcourt set when Lin penetrates and over dribbles...

Lin has the speed and lift, do you not see how high he gets on defensive rebounds? He is so aggressive on those at times stealing them from Asik... Then on the offensive side he drives at will into the paint and does this stop and pop fade shot which is god awful and NEVER goes in...

That or he'll dribble off his foot or look for a bail out pass.


Why can't he just be as aggresive on offense as he is on the defensive glass



Thank god we traded Martin... could you imagine this team with Kevin Martin? :o
