    Bill Simmons said that Lin is one of the top 6-7 guys in the league in getting to the rim. Also said it tools us a while but we figured out who our best 5 is finally.

    Just sayin that for all the people who like to cite some blogger saying we should be starting Bev over Lin as evidence that we should.

    This is a terrible half time crew. Who is this lady? She is terrible and is trying too hard to sound cool. And then they add Doug Collins right next to her.

    What a disaster.

    He said that the rockets finally found their best 5. Lin and t jones ought to be the starters. But you know, it's mchale here, so, pb will probably start once he's healed.

    If we had any sort of bench, we would be blowing them out. It's time for Morey to work his magic and get us that scoring threat and legit back-up / starting PF.

    50% freethrow shooting across the board.

    People using one Rocket's good performance as a reason to knock another Rocket. Classy.

    Just be happy. Rockets are playing well. The entire starting 5 is looking good. This is cause for celebration, not a launching point for troll arguments.

    Dwight Howard is amazing, I never thought I'd warm to him as much as I have, he's on a tear. At full health with Omer and bev eventually healthy this team is legit, can best anyone - we are just struggling for health and consistency because players can't stay on the court together.

    Don't mistake Lin's compassion as a weakness. That's his way of lulling his opponent to sleep and then he goes in for the kill.

    He also said that Manu, who comes off the bench for SAS, is back to being one of their big 3. I don't recall him saying that Lin should start, now did he?

    And neither of those are really on his defense. One was where he missed a shot or turned it over on the offensive end and Parker was already halfway up the court and got the quick pass and scored.
