    There were the 12 steps of la cucaracha that blew Lin's mind and caused him to fall down in a daze. Then James set his pivot while stepping back but then moved his pivot foot to gather for the shot. So technically it was a travel but it's not uncommon for that play not to get called, especially when the defender helplessly falls down, because it's good for the highlight shows. The NBA is an entertainment business after all.

    Just like how blockers get dunked on. Hakeem, Mutumbo, Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, Yao.

    Like you said above. Lin didn't back down after Harden shook him. He went full speed and got a basket back. Good to see him in a comfortable environment.

    He still drives and pause. Drive and stall. Had some good buckets and assists but no win for you today Jery.

    Y'all blind, Harden clearly punched Lin twice in the face on that play and then kicked his nuts.

    refs are blind, no ankle breaker, biased racist refs.

    Lin played well in the second half for a 2 million player, but reading this thread people are still expecting a 15 million performance? So which one is it?

    When did this Lin Fantasy Fan approach to measure production per dollar spent, start?

    Is Lin a Fantasy now, or before?

    "So which one is it?"

    A single player doesn't lose a playoffs series himself, but certain mistakes made a certain inopportune times can DEFINITELY be considered worse than others. In Lin's case, they certainly are worse given how and WHEN they happened. Lin has always been high risk high reward type player IMO with incredibly shaky decision making during crunch.

    Everyone blows playoff games. Michael Jordan even did it.

    don't ever mention Michael Jordan and Lin in a playoff basketball analogy ever again.

    everybody drops a dump and takes a piss too.

    Tinsane asylum inmate out in force.... this is why we real fans of the rocket and fans of lin have no choice but to point out what big colu you all are..... starting with tinsane, zboy and cos go mets..... your posting tonight shows how misguided your view on lins game tonight and his time as a rocket..... actually things worked out well for us real rocket fans..... they won and lin played solid....helped his team comeback and take the lead before we were able to hold on for the win.

    Its going to be a fun few days on this thread.

    This is true about almost ever guard in the NBA if you look at them like how the tinsane inmates does. I`ve watched many games in my life and even the best to the average player have made the same kind of mistakes as you pointed out about lin. Some of them just have had more higher level games to overshadow those low games... than againt some have had less of these good games than lin too.

    Michael Jordan said that Lin was the Hornets' most important FA pickup this summer.
