    Yes, of course it's sarcasm.

    What's there to expose about Lin anyway?

    The teams already know about Lin and YET THEY CAN"T STOP HIM.

    Only Lin can stop Lin, but he's getting there and improving.

    Marc Jackson by no means was the guy who invented "Elevator Doors", if that's what you are referring to. It's been around for a pretty long time and the Warriors aren't even the only team using Elevator Doors currently -- I've seen Clippers, Nets, Thunder, Hawks, Suns & Rockets utilize ED at least once this year.

    Also, despite going to it a few times, the Warriors have not scored a single point using Elevator Doors in the prior three meetings against the Rockets.
    In fact, the Rockets did a very good job alerting their players, when GSW went to ED out of a time-out down 4 with 44 seconds to go, see: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=7727334&postcount=115.

    oh yeah... well mchale has invented the great glass elevator door. It's where a pick goes to harden and lin but in reality there is no pick. it's invisible.

    This is another trap game. Jeremy better bring it and not get destroyed by Jarett and Dell's kid.

    I'm more concerned about their bigs versus ours. Asik is our lone big guy on most nights and he can't do it all on his own. Dmo and Trob are really going to have to play hard against DLee and the Aussie. Heck, Landry is no slouch either.

    Aside from James, I expect big games from Chandler, Carlos and.....Francisco. He's due for some good shooting.

    I've followed him all through the Sac years...he's a great player...give him some time. He's one of those guys that will come through, hopefully in a playoff series, and light it up from the outside. He's streaky...and he hasn't even had a "hot" game yet.

    Glad you have noticed it too since February.

    Was that Harden play in Oakland intented? I wonder why we are not seeing it after that one?

    Also do the five other team's that have used the ED call it the "Elevator Doors" or other names?

    Yes.

    Terminology is fluent. I was taught it as Elevator Doors myself. Zach Lowe calls it Sandwich. It couldn't tell you what specific teams call it.

    This hangover is making it very hard to pregame with green beer.

    Going to the game! My record has been 11-1 going to Rockets games. Only loss was to the nasty Utah Jazz in a Playoffs game.

    The way the momentum of the race is currently swinging, this has the potential to be the game that decides whether the Rockets are fighting for a 6 seed or just fighting to squeeze into the playoffs. I hope they realize that and come out aggressive and hard-working at home.
