    I'm a fan of Jeremy Lin. Not only a Lin Fan, he's not even my favourite player on the team...but I liked him. I started liking him when I was in Taiwan and heard that he was a Christian Taiwanese in the NBA etc. I almost bought his Warriors jersey, but I have this thing about wearing other teams gear...

    I was happy when he was here, ...meh when he left, happy when he blew up in NY (in fact I predicted it: GlenRice Donkey Kiss incident)

    Now I'm happy that he's back. He has the tools to excel in this league, but hasn't been used to his strengths...like a few others in the team.

    I think we should all support this guy, who's not doing to bad, in my opinion. Yay JL7!

    Rockets win.

    I'm hoping for a big blow out victory & some minutes for D-Mo.

    Since we're playing a bad team Lin will probably be pg.

    It's when we face the good teams that the coaching staff freaks out...

    Key to the game will be how the Rockets defend the pick and roll. If they're going to let Kemba make his defender go through multiple screens and allow the mid range jumper this will be another battle. Hopefully Asik will hedge/show hard and if he does that, Rockets will destroy the Bobcats.

    I don't even think he pays attention to the game when he is there. Probably just day dreaming.

    Why would any coach gave up a 22 points before calling a time. The game was up 8, and if there is a 12 to 2 run, a timed out would be called. No, not McHale, still daydream. He probably got woke up by Sampson to called a TO that gave up an 8 points left and now it was -14.

    Lin played only 24 minutes in the last game and Beverly played 23 minutes.

    TD zero.

    I think it's a sign that Lin doesn't want to be forced to shot only 3s any more, so he started to shot more mid-range or even long 2s that he felt more confident to make.

    +1. Defense is a team effort.

    Mark this game down as a win for the Good Guys. Bobcats lose by double digits.
