    He said it was the first day in the 2014 playoffs that a road team didn't win a game.

    If he played like this all the time he'd be starting on another team.

    What I find funny is that Lin is basically a backup PG and 4th option on this team yet is expected to deliver all-star performances, and is seen as a failure if he fails to do so.

    I don't see OKC fans being obsessed with what Reggie Jackson is or isn't doing.

    We COULD win all 5 games they are all very close. But that's playoff.

    One more road game, one more home game. The Rockets can do this. Lin goes from goat to hero. Harden goes from missing to clutch. Howard keeps playing at a very high level. This team is crazy enough to come back and win the series.

    I think the team understands it is till in a feel hole against a resilient blazers team. They know how hard it will be in Portland to go to a game 7. The are correct no celebrating quite yet. Job ain't done yet.

    What's wrong with Lin having some faith?

    Lin doesn't OWE anybody anything. He played with heart and carried us to the win.

    If Lin owes us one more game, how many games does Harden owe us? The series?

    Rockets have lead well over 80% of the time this series now. Pretty unbelievable.

    I think the reason why Lin played well is because he had to step up since Bev is sick. When he is not needed, he gets benched more often and he plays poorly. So since Bev will be fully back in the next game, Lin will probably be ineffective.

    Jeremy Lin played great tonight, pretty much kept us in the game when no one was scoring

    Parsons made some game losing plays in the 4th qt. The jump ball layup by lilliard was his fault. Follow the trajectory and get back vs staying hugged up. Game close,mini fast break,not really and he shoots a 3.

    No OT, 12 TO, 23 assist, our bench 34 vs 5, some showed up early, thanks Parson and Lin, some showed up late, thanks Harden. Respect Bev's flu game, Howard playing hard all game. 1st home game win. A good win. ‪#‎rednation

    TNT is taking every excuse to not talk about the Rockets win.
