    Lin still needs to score if he's running it. He's not finishing or hitting jumpers as much as last season. Portland would have adjusted to it.

    Sampson is a tool. That was a wide open MADE 3 for Harden. FU Sampson.

    At least Asik was on the court, so we didn't lose too bad.

    Sampson, get out of here. Lin is one of our best defenders on the team. Just STFU.

    i feel good because our guys play very hard and we have a lot of talent.
    i feel terrible because our coaching staff is completely inept.

    Sampson probably had flashbacks of Lillard draining 3's to ice the game on Lin a couple games back. Too bad switching with Douglas was equally bad and he probably knows he effed up on that one.

    Calvin says he wanted Lin on the floor, running the ball in OT.
    It was his night he said...

    I don't buy that at all. TD switched both times guarding Lilard, and left Parsons hopelessly with Lilard. If TD was left in specifically guarding Lilard, successful or not, he would have been at least staying with Lilard.

    Either Lin is hurt, or coach is upset with something (but that's r****ded). There were no proper offensive sets ran in the entire OT.

    Holy f-ck. Something's got to be done about sampson. Get rid of him at ALL COSTS.

    I GUARANTEE the rockets would player better without ANY coach at all than with sampson.

    Yall act like Sampson is our fulltime coach. The guy is our interm coach.
