    If you really want Lin to be out of the Rockets, then let Lin play. At least his stocks will rise then you'll be able to trade him higher. Or they want other players' stocks to rise so that they can trade them for better players??? Anyway, I just wish good fortune for the Rockets. Harden seems to be off tonight.

    It must be that McHale is experimenting this time on some possible combinations. I'd give him the benefit of doubt at least till this season ends. We'll see in the playoffs if he's really a coach you see as somebody who can give you a championship. That said, the starters gain some momentum towards the playoffs. As of now, I see them regressing every game. Yes, even Harden and Asik and Lin and Parsons... Their performance is sliding...

    McHale pretty much did that tonight. If he didn't stick Lin in at borderline garbage time he would've played less than 15 minutes for the game.

    I hope this is sarcasm but I fear the contrary. You know Hibbert is their CENTER right? So JL is supposed to prevent Hibbert to...what exactly? SMFH

    Even worse is that not once this season has McHale said "my fault".

    Lin did get playing time and gave up 3 consecutive turnovers leading to 6 easy points for the Pacers.

    Why not asking PB some Questions instead of Lin?
    He play more time than Lin.

    Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. Why not interview Beverley since he had more minutes and considered by many to be the savior PG of this team. Obviously, Jeremy was gracious to do the interview and not pull a Hardin.

    confused, confused, and confused. ??????????? who can answer?

    i can't figure out what mchale was thinking. it looks to me he has been trusting bev more but he didn't insert him into the starting rotation. why??? then today he subbed out bev at around 4 minutes left of 4th qt. what was that for? if he thought bev is better at closing out a game, why? was bev tired after playing so long. if this is the case, he should subbed him out a lot earlier so bev can come back to close out the game.

    i just have no clue on what hell he was thinking.

    coz they don't have the ball (brave) to ask. it's kinda a trend everyone who has some kinda connection to rox organization is taking, always agreeing with the front office and coaching staffs.

    I got you. So this is a business decision Not to dig the Truth question. Which means not to dig meet the best interest for them. still don't think sport journalist's job shouldn't be that complicated.

    Hibbert's a 7'2 maybe 7'3 center. Who honestly on this roster barring maaaybe asik or maaaaaaaaybe T-Rob could stop him? Sure he's not a force or anything but lin and Hibbert mentioned in the same line doesn't make sense.

    It's sarcasm - his point was that Jeremy was not the reason Hibbert killed tonight.

    Mchale sub Lin in because he knew the game was over and he didn't want to take the heat for not playing Lin the entire 4th quarter. Cowardly of him, we all know he does not take responsibility for anything.

    He was responsible for Iso harden. The safety's way to let it go.

    When we had a 6 point deficit with the Rockets treating the ball like a hot potato, they should of brought in the starters with, or without DMo. As for Beverly, all I saw was him and Harden playing catch and shoot. Lin is not in a shooting slump, shooting the same average as Harden. Some are saying he is not into the game, or aggressive, he had 2 steals with his time last night. I'm frustrated Lin and Asik don't finish games, sometimes Parsons. No consistency = early playoff exits.

    Nobody talks about this!!??

    "[Harden] has all the weapons to get his own shot and create for others. If you make it tough for him early on, he's going to try to make it to where he can get his own still and get his numbers, and that kind of will take you out of the game. Tonight, that's what I tried to do."
    -- George on his defensive gameplan against Harden.

    I guess the whole world knows that except McHale & Harden
