I never want to see jeremy lin shoot a 3 again...ever

Parsons deserves some blame too. Having a career game and you have an open look from the corner 3 and you turn it down to pass it to someone who has been a terrible perimeter shooter his entire life outside of a 2 week period.

Lets just say Derek Fisher's defense in the Lakers-Kings playoff days made Mike Bibby a lot of money.

Prime Derek Fisher is still better than Lin. He wouldn't have airballed that 3.

To be fair to Lin, I don't know what the **** the interim coach was doing that game. He basically went Harden heroball for five straight possessions, which is fine if you have a sizable lead against an average team, but they had 1 or 2 point leads and just let Harden dribble the clock all the way down while LeBron/Wade/Bosh/Ray were waiting to pour in some points on the other end. I've never felt so strongly about a bad coach job until that game.

Lin is playing SCARED. Not playing aggressive and instinctive!

Lin got spooked when he got exposed in Miami before the All-Star Break and has struggled ever since

Maybe Lin's games with the Knicks last season was a fluke. Rockets need to stop the bleeding. Sometimes I feel like Harden is like a Carmelo Anthony, causing a distraction to Lin's game. I don't know...

I noticed this too. He has been incredibly passive this season. He is doing the other things well such as passing, rebounding, defense, etc. but his scoring and shooting has been awful this season. It is kind of funny too cause everyone labeled him to be a scoring PG but he is looking more like Kidd than he is like Westbrook so far this season.

It's hard to choke any worse than that airball. He was wide open.

He's deferring too much, afraid to appear selfish, over-thinking. Not Driving and attacking anymore. He's too nice. Gave the Keys to Harden.

WTF. That was a great read by Parsons. Lin was wide open.

Rockets really had a bad close to the game.

1) Poor rotation by the big man to allow Lebron a easy layup to take the lead.

2) Air ball by Lin

3) Unable to secure the rebound after a FT miss by Wade

4) Harden dribbles down the clock to shoot a contented, last second 3-pter

Lin was 2/5 from three before that shot, and Parsons wasn't open, it was a great play, and airballs happen.

A wide open look by a bad shooter is still a terrible shot. It was a dumb pass by Parsons.

You think Kobe ever passes to Metta in that situation?

It was a great pass to a guy that had made a couple that game. If Lin shouldn't be shooting that shot, then he needs to swing it over to the other side. Actually they were only down by 1, Lin could have driven in and then shot or kicked out, there was plenty of time. It's not like Parsons left Lin with only 2 seconds left.

Parsons got doubled as soon as he caught the ball. Instead of wasting time, he swung it back to a wide open teammate/GUARD parked right at the 3 point line.

It cannot be overstated how wrong you are on this.

Lin was shook on that shot.
