    When the Rockets had a 3 game winning streak you nerds were praising Sampson, now we get our ass kicked by the Spurs, a change of heart, why nerds why????

    Just stop defending Lin, please. You make everything worse for your hero in terms of good will, if you can believe that.

    Nobody stands up for Patterson, Asik, etc. when they are called out for crappy play. Then everyone just moves on, because their anger is dissipated, it doesn't meet a giant wall of LOHs.

    The bench is doing a better job hustling than our starters. Our team has no identity...

    I'm surprised Sampson threw in the towel so early. Didn't even experiment with Lin with the second unit or something to try to give the team some energy.

    Sampson is probably gonna wait until 2 minutes ae left in the game to give Motiejunas some burn. Put the kid in now. Let him start finding a rhythm against NBA quality competition.

    This must be why Jlin is so powerless on the court.

    yeah, i'm his biggest fan..he'll bounce back. It just seemed like the whole team came out flat-footed and uninterested, other than Harden. They seem to always come out slow after a few days of practice, I'm beginning to hate their practice sessions

    I just think Lin has a long ways to go. I think it would've been better had he gone to a more experienced team with a good pnroller. Cause he can't shoot, he is becoming useless when the other team has a good inside defender.

    This is the same for the Lakers game.

    Hopefully it's just nerves...otherwise I'll start really thinking he's scared when he's matched up against the big boys like Duncan and Dwight.

    rockets have had several shots go in and out, it'd be less of a blow out if they went in :)

    Its because Asik has played consistently well all year so he is given some slack when he has an off night. Lin on the other hand has only had about a couple decent games. Im a Lin fan but he has been below average this year. I hope that changes.

    This is a disgusting effort. I can understand struggling on offense badly, but we're letting anyone get to the rim. Layups galore. There's no intensity on defense whatsoever. Even Matt Bonner's driving to the rim now.

    The Spurs have the best offensive game in the league.

    Forget the actual scoring, they are loaded with shooters. What makes their offensive game so amazing is their passing game. They spread the floor beautifully, their passing borders on psychic, their 2nd unit is better than a lot of lottery team's 1st units, and oh yah, they happen to have 3 all-star/HOF caliber players and the best coach in the NBA.

    They have arguably the best chemistry of any team in the NBA.

    It's ridiculous how good they are most nights. :eek:
