    He's recovering from a broken wrist. That's a big time injury for a pg its going to take time to get his touch back.

    Thanks, but .


    1. This is Lin now with the Rockets not the Knicks
    2. It's a pre season game
    3. It's a pre season game
    4. It's a pre season game
    5. Go find some Lin highlights with the Rockets, at some point the Rockets fans will get sick of seeing Knicks highlights.

    Thank you for the info. The point is though, this is only preseason. Lin is also coming back from his knee injury, and it takes time to get into NBA shape when you've been off the court for so long. In addition, this is a whole new team, and he needs time to get familiar with his teammates and build chemistry. I just think it's ridiculous that some people are so bent out of shape on one bad preseason game.

    We must defeat Dallas. I don't care if it's preseason. Dallas sucks and deserves to be beaten like a red-headed stepchild, again and again. Why? Because they are Dallas, that's why.

    Go Rockets!!

    Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey
    @AsikOmer getting a much deserved day off tonight - he is leading all players in rebounding for the preseason

    Asik not playing. I think he deserves the rest. So Smith starting perhaps?

    Per Morey, Omer not playing tonight, he's resting.

    I think that's great. We get to see how we adapt to not having Omer and the Turkish Hammer gets some much-needed rest for busting his nuts.

    Maybe if Bull started calling him O-Mo' he would get the point.

    Glad Asik's getting some rest, he's been giving a lot of effort and looks a bit gassed at times.

    all the true Lin fans will tell you Jeremy Lin doesn't going into Linsanity until the 2nd half and his stats for the 4th quarter are 10X better than the 1st half for some reason. It must be the adrenaline or something, but if you just watch Lin normally he's really not that "unique". I wouldn't start saying crap about Lin until he starts a real game and plays in the 4th quarter causing them to lose, kind of like Carmelo in the 4th where he ball hogs and the Knicks lose.

    Looks like White might be playing tonight? This is from the Associate Head Coach at Iowa State, tweeted about 35 minutes ago:

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Best of luck to @<a href="https://twitter.com/highway_30">highway_30</a> as he takes the floor in his first NBA Pre-season game tonight for the Houston Rockets! <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%23CyclONEnation">#CyclONEnation</a></p>&mdash; T.J.

    Let's just wait to see how he plays this year. Last year is over. People need to move on. I know Lin will do whatever it takes to win when it counts, but things are different now with a new team, coach, system, etc.

    That's according to that coach (ISU). Although this is what Matt Miller of NBA.com wrote

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Marcus Morris (ankle) won't play tonight. Royce White continues to be out unless the team is trying to pull the rug out from under us ...</p>&mdash; Matt Miller (@MattMiller713) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattMiller713/status/257983433375109120" data-datetime="2012-10-15T23:16:58+00:00">October 15, 2012</a></blockquote>
    <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    So who knows, but I doubt the coach at ISU would know this unless White told him, or McHale told Fred Hoiberg that White would be playing tonight.
