It's pretty we're a better team when Toney Douglas is the primary ball handler.

    I applauded and cheered for Tony Douglas even as a professed Lin fan.
    But seriously...why stir up trouble?

    By playing TD in the Portland game, it gave TD the confidence he needed in tonight's game. TD knew that his coach believed in him, and he played well tonight.

    All the credit goes to Jeremy Lin for the win tonight... He's so selfless. He blessed Douglas with the last ounce of Linsanity left in his system as he was watching from the bench as his backup, who only makes $2 million a year, helped win the game.

    And Lin knows his coach has little confidence in him. Meh it is what it is. We won & that is all that matters.

    Someone needs to light a fire under Lin's ass. Im happy for TD tonight, and especially smith! Seriously this is a good thing to see, the Rockets have a bench that is coming into it's own. Even with parsons and lin benched, Harden struggling there was still awesome things that the bench players pulled. Imagine if EVERY player had their a-game on. This young team would be extremely dangerous.

    A brief stint in the D-Leauge would do wonders for Jeremy Lin's confidence.

    Let's keep talking about Douglas and Smith. And Delfino.

    Just a one night break from turning everything into about Lin, I beg of you.

    He sucked but wasn't the only one.

    I still think Toney Douglas sucks in general, and I can't believe Sampson went with the hot reserves tonight, but that was an amazing game. If he could even average half that consistently, he'd at least have a job for the next decade as a career backup.

    But hey, give our coaching staff some credit. They made the right moves and kept the right players in the game to win.

    If TD for Lin, then Delfino for Harden after tonight.
