    Subplot of that game I will be most interested to see is Bev guarding Lin. Highly doubt Bev wins the box score comparison, but I think he will frustrate Lin by testing his handles and probably causing a turnover or two. Rockets win easy though

    So you read reports, while the rest of us watch games.

    New flash, jump passing and not knowing clock situation is not the coaches fault.

    I don't see Dwight Howard jump pass the ball

    Good players don't have to have picks thrown in to get traded. That is all.

    What exactly is the point of posts like this besides you showing how salty you are over everything Lin related?

    Would probably be a better comparison if LA had sent us something in exchange.

    HAHA, you know the situations were different but I get it, you have to protect your boy at all cost. Even if that means comparing apples to oranges.

    No doubt. He'll come out with something to prove and extra motivation.

    Lakers will then be mediocre to suck the rest of the season.

    lol

    As of right now the Lakers have no interior defense at all. Even TJ will be feasting.Lin should be able to score against us if he is healthy. I am not doubting Lin is a decent PG but except for Kobe this team is a joke and expected to be lottery bound.

    My prediction: Lin goes crazy game 1 with extra motivation to play against his old team. Lakers win.

    LOFs rejoice and have a field day.

    After that, life will go on, and Lin and the Lakers will return to being mediocre.

    Because God forbid you say anything that's not anti-Lin.

    can you calm down?

    i'm just responding to your statement, dragic had a 1st rounder thrown in as well and we sent over a broken Aaron Brooks who frankly never looked the same since he got manued.

    Throw in the fact Lin's contract is toxic, compared to anything involved in that Dragic trade, at the end of the season the net difference was a second rounder.

    We did what we had to do to get rid of Lin, but don't sit behind your keyboard, say one thing:
    and then have a cry when someone merely suggests that your reasoning aint watertight

    exactly

    rockets got rid of players in both those transactions

    rockets earned a draft pick together with someone who became a stud pg

    and rockets gave up just a late draft pick to go with hot garbage

    morey is a genius

    son of sam clear stated that good players dont need picks attached to get traded, Dragic got a pick attached to get traded, that was the only point I was making

    its as though sonofsam isn't even a true rockets fan, he didnt konw how much brooks sucked and PHX still traded away 'a good player' with a first rounder for him

    So you came to the conclusion that Lin is his boy simply because he made a comparison that you did not like?

    Perhaps you should start using the grey matter better your ears, if there is some.

    Any body think Lin is gonna fail as a Laker is dumb. It's that he made too much $$$$ to be a Rocket is that's it. Him and Parsons gone means less facilitating and less attacking the rim.
