At least Lin averages over 4 assists per game like a PG should and isn't always injured like Bev.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

You know what I really don't miss? Jeremy Lin discussions on this board.

Anyway - thanks for getting the game thread started, Nebula1. This will be an interesting test tonight to see if they can bounce back well from their current slump. Hopefully someone finally found their offense and had it shipped back to them.

This is the first home stand of the season, and it starts with two grudge matches. Hopefully they got a little rest and an actual practice in.

I didn't think that this would be the case following Monday's drubbing, but the Rockets are still rated first defensively. They're allowing 94.3 points per 100 possessions. Let's hope that they keep that up while they try to find their missing shots.

LOL, you gotta expect at least some Lin talk during his first return game.
He's actually playing pretty well for LA. He had 15 points /10 assists last night on 6 for 7 shooting vs ATL.

Thought this was funny though.

Oh, I know that it's coming. I'm just on record for not missing it.

I do miss the guy himself. He was cool.

I just hope that we get the pre-Mexico City Rockets back again. I miss watching those guys.

Blame it on the Mexico City strip clubs.

All these poor Uverse and DirectTV people thinking I waited two years for this?

Kawhi could do that to any point guard. The second steal Lin obviously got smacked on the hand.

And so the Lin bashing continues.

He plays well when the Lakers decide that they don't want to tank. As for the Rockets drubbing against the Grizzlies, well we can't explain that either.
* Since 1985, Jeremy Lin became one of 15 players to have scored at least 20 points, seven assists and a steal for six games in a row, including 136 points in 5 starts beating out Iverson, Jordan and O'Neal :D

Its all In good fun. No ones getting personal. Fans can joke about other teams players. It happens all the time. Lin isn't a Rocket anymore and my allegiance is to the Rockets, not to any one player no matter who they are/were.

Lin is terrible.

The Rockets were just gassed from road trips and playing short handed. I don't think Mexico had much to do with anything and I expect a better performance tonight.

Trap game.

If the same team that played against Philly,OKC,Memphis show up, we're gonna lose.

Harden is currently playing like CHarles Barkley in Space Jam. Did the Mexican strippers take his power?

Harden hasn't been the same the past couple of games and that tape on the shoulder worries me... if he is hurt just sit out.

dont sleep on kobe. he still has the ability to win a game by himself if the other teams sucks. if rockets are gonna chuck threes and force feed a struggling dwight, just get somethign hard to bite down on instead of breaking your tv. worht a broken tooth

grass is greener on other side, I don't like much of what I see from Lin in LA and I hope he goes away after this season.

Return to Houston Rockets
