    Lin picking up his dribble is something I will never understand

    Rockets playing great tonight....except....for the epically bad Jeremy Lin. I hope he gets his head into this game tonight.

    This. Same with the rest of the team. I hate it when they look like a bunch of crybabies, like the Heat.

    Is anyone not bothered by this defense at all? Once 2nd half starts and our offense cools down it will be like the thunder game all over again

    Agreed, I don't think it was even that close.

    Im really loving the effort on the defensive end. Rockets look like they dont want a repeat ot the previous TNT telecast.

    He has been doing it for ages.

    He had a clear path on the last play and instead turns his back towards the basket after picking up the dribble.

    Whaa.......

    this. It's the little things, when he does this in the middle of the pick and roll it pisses me off. He has stopped doing it SOMETIMES when he drives to the hoop. He always used to do it driving to the hoop and then throw up 5 damn pump fakes before that fade away

    Lin needs to be given the green light to play his type of ball with the second unit, he sucks as a role player and needs the ball in his hands as well as the confidence to perform well. At this point, just let him be the primary scorer off the bench, it can restore his confidence as he plays against scrubs.

    If anyone can explain how that could possibly have anything to do with him playing so bad I'll talk about it. Until then I just want him to play much much better.

    He's a poor ballhandler. It's not just decision making. You can tell when he has the ball long enough it just looks like he's about to lose the ball no matter what. To be honest, I think his ballhandling is too poor to be a starting guard at this level.

    It was funny. I had to replay it. He's steamed at Lin.

    Lin's just a bench or role player material.

    Does Reggie Miller get a bonus every time he mentions the OKC game?
