    There are prob a lot of Asians in the Bay area rooting for Lin and it is also Lin's hometown.

    He's a bay area kid that became an international sensation so their will be support. Even Nate Robinson gets some applause when he plays in golden state from his bay area days

    Watch his days in Golden State. They love him down there. It's his home town. Don't know if they will cheer for him though.

    They thought they were watching the Harlem Globetrotters.

    Asik and Lin did really well in the first half of the 3rd quarter that helped the Rockets build the big lead. Both played solid defense in that stretch. For the game Lin did great against Curry and was blowing it up shooting spot up – positive sign for what’s more to come when he gets those spot ups down consistently. Harden was slowed by the 2 early fouls but still did great overall, and made the intelligent decision to let Lin play down the stretch. This is the balance that can potentially make this team really dangerous.

    It’s very nice to see our starting 4 spot get 10 boards. What else can be said about the 3 point shooting tonight… almost half of the Rocket’s FGs were 3s, and they made most of them… just crazy!

    This team has shown they can convincingly beat the four teams above them on the standings. I think they could have won the Denver game if not for the questionable substitutions in the 3rd quarter of that game. Looking forward to tomorrow night’s game against the Heat.

    Even though he didn't have much playing time, he was popular there; however, after our behavior tonight who knows what will happen...

    I suppose, but after a great game those comments always show up. Anyways who cares, just celebrate the win. It's sad that I didn't get to watch it, only got to see DMO's 3

    Go look up Jeremy Lin's first NBA game as a GSW on youtube. He got a standing ovation.

    Really happy for J-Lin. It's good that he had a big game.

    Honestly he shows moments of greatness then moments of just a good solid player. Either way he is obviously a good starting PG.

    The Bay Area is filled with Asian fans, so there will be plenty of them to come out to watch the game I'm guessing

    LOL this is going to be so awkward... especially after tonight... there is going to be a lot of bad blood... and maybe a return of the dragon blood.

    and considering that he's almost a rookie in terms of starting PG experience I think his ceiling is pretty high


    he just needs to stop lookin mopey when his shot isn't falling or he gets the ball stripped
