No reason the Rockets shouldn't win 50+ games this season despite the rough start. These road wins are big.

Gotta beat those Western teams

When's the last time you said something positive about Lin? Seems like every time you post something about him you're bashing him. We get it, you're not a huge fan.

Irving is absurdly quick off the dribble. Most of his turnovers came from trap defense following the penetration. Lin didn't get horribly beat, he kept Irving in front of him on most plays and had a hand in his face. 10-24 isn't great, but Irving has to play a lot more 1 on 1 ball because much of his team mates are not shot creators. He's averaging around 4 TOs a game, and that's probably pretty normal for someone with his usage rate.

We didn't see them with Anderson Varejao, so they weren't at full strength. Maybe Scott would run more p and (roll/pop) with Varejao instead of isoing Irving on the wing and let him do his thing...

But yeah, Cavs have got a few athletic pieces. I'm especially impressed with Gee as a find. Kid has bounced around the league after getting picked up out of the D-League and he's now got a spot.

As per Lin haters, their hate is a condition that borders on the insane. Some of them just need their meds.

Mvp of the game is Lin. He kept the team's head above water for 3 quarters when Harden was sucky sucky.

Another game ending in Butts & Struts! Didn't get to watch the game, but the recap sounds like a fun one (unless you were cheering for the Cavs).

omg do I have a fan, someone that reads my every post!?! I am honored, but how bout you just get over whatever it is that bothers you and post more during games... Lin would be disappointed in your lack of activity.

Yea and that was better shooting than Harden with a few more TO. :o Are you implying Harden and Kyrie are NOT sick? Cause that would be um sick.
fanboys coming out in full force if fans praise another player :lol:



btw your name has me wondering, does anyone know what Sprewell is up to? Are his kids ok?
wow two houses foreclosed, yacht grounded, prohibited to see his kids, and just arrested for loud music... :o
guess he wasn't joking back then.

Everyone chill out. It's okay for people to criticize Lin or any player, and it's also okay for people to defend a player in response to the criticism.

This Rockets forum is probably the only one left that hasn't devolved into fanboy vs fanboy-haters. Let's keep it this way please.

Irving was definitely sick. He made a couple plays that had my jaw hanging. His handle and spin move are ridiculous. Superstar of the future for sure.
