    While I agree to a point, would it have matter tonight?

    Please make it stop. We just need to move on to Canaan. Trade Lin to whoever D'Antoni is coaching next year so he won't have to play defense.

    Because he usually is a good 4th quarter player. Damn people on the internet are so damn fickle.

    I seriously did not understand that substitution either. D-Mo was playing great defense.

    Lin and Bev taking stupid shots and taking 2s when we need 3s.
    Thanks guys.

    At least Bev showed up more than 5 minutes in the first quarter.

    I am not a big McHale hater but that was a dumb dumb decision.

    Why is it always Lin's fault?

    The only plays I can really pin on Lin is. 1. That midrange j he shouldn't have taken at the elbow. 2. Collapsing in the paint and biting on Ray's pump fake 3. And 3. That 3 he took

    But then again, Harden lost Ray on that corner 3. Bev took a bad 3. Chandler while showed some signs of life, still another disappointing game offensively.

    The real question is why did McHale take out Asik and put back in Dwight?

    Shoulda rode that hot lineup. He then subbed out Lin after he picked up a foul and then put him back after the commercial break. Why?

    Lins pull up three late and his other mid range pull up on what seemed to be a 1on 3 break were not very smart plays...then again, we had A LOT of dumb plays today made by the top 6 guys..

    Why are yall blaming Lin on Mchai.? The momentum shift happened when off the timeout the team told James to guard Allen where he proceeded to shrug them off and not guard Allen

    You guys have VERY short memories. Wasn't it the Bev,Lin,Harden Lineup that won the Rockets close games? Remember? I guess not.
