Absolutely....he has HORRIBLE hands....it is laughable to bounce pass to him in the paint. 9 outta 10 times, it's not happening. What amazes me about Worms Lopez is how he is able to get rebounds over Dwight. Sometimes it looks like he is coming over the back and should be a foul. But, Dwight should do a better job of blocking out. It appears sometimes that he just out hustles our bigs.

 

Line has to be big like Sam was for this team to win

 

That pass from Harden to Lin below the basket was thing of beauty. I really wish Lin and Harden can gel and play well together.

 

Harden 8 of last 10, good job.

 

No matter the issues with harden, he was still clutch down the stretch when we needed him. Howard is to be commended on his passionate play. bev needs to rest up. Asik and lin both putting together audition tapes for the off season. We' ll take it!!! Game six is gonna be nuts!

 

Lin and Parsons both had good games but they need to learn when to slow the pace down. It amazes me they can force a contested layup when the best play is by far to take some time off the clock.

 

The refs will make it look like portland fans are influencing their calls and they will give the blazers bs make up calls as they are being swayed by home town jumbo screen replays that only show one side.

Their fans are idiots, and look at how rockets fans dont accuse the refs of sucking when they are doing a good job.

 

So happy for Jeremy Lin tonight. That guy deserved to have a performance like this. Its also good for his confidence. Perhaps we'll get to see that Linsanity dood again Friday.

 

His priorities are in order. God first, everything else pales in comparison. This is just a game. Sounds like he has his head on pretty straight unlike a vast majority of people.

 

Agreed. It takes time and experience for them to learn to make the best decision. They will grow I believe.

 

this lin and parsons news conference was hilarious, i think they legitimately might be lovers

 

LOL Lin and Parsons look awkward on the podium

 

They need to keep moving. Harden has the ball, Lin camps at the corner - Lin has the ball, Harden camps at the corner. They used to cut to the hoop for each other last year.

 

Lin rose from the dead tonite...whatever message he was given b4 the game, can you repeat it just b4 Game 6 pls

 

Two years ago when Lin and Harden started together, there were times we were blowing teams out with both of them combining for some magical numbers. I thought they could build on that this last Summer, Lin had a pretty good preseason adding a left-hand dribble and working on his 3pt shot. Now, coming off the bench with almost the same minutes... Lin's numbers have taken a hit this year. I love Beverley but to start him because Harden doesn't play defense is not right. I think Harden may be best suited to come off the bench until he contributes on both ends of the floor.
