    This. Though, in this regard, I'm still nervous for the team because they really really need to be on top of their transition D. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of those games where they play their heart out and just barely lose it, or even one of those 3rd quarter or 4th quarter meltdowns we've been seeing.

    Oh, young team. They'll get stronger, just will be difficult for awhile, especially in January.

    If Uglas has to guard CP3 all game, then this game is going to be Uglay. We recall Beverley yet? ******* we better...

    Then you might want to explain to his idiot fans that he doesn't have the same potential as Chris Paul

    Lin obvious doesn't have the same potential as CP3, at the very least, CP3 will have to grow a few inches.

    Lin has the potential of a lawn gnome

    Your assessment of potential is inept. At the very least, the lawn gnome will have to grow a few feet.

    I am so proud of this team.. yes we lost 3 games in a row but nevertheless all 3 were relatively close games...we are by far the youngest more unexperienced team with no (on paper) talent except harden and we still managed to play exciting basketball competing equally with almost all teams holding playoff seed (by 5 games advantage) blowing some contenders and best defences in the league...what more can you wish for?

    what people here tend to forget is that Basketball is still a team sport.

    So no matter how important one player is, if the team doesn`t mesh or have chemistry to play teamball, it is losing most of the time.

    So reading comments of LOF and LOH are funny but one noticed how dumb they are in their childish arguments

    nice argument but don't forget that there are some players who are chemistry specialist and a team spirit depends more on that player then on anyone elses spirit or talent...Lin is such a player...these players can cause the otherwise maladjusted team and teammates to get their team spirit back...

    When the opposing PG does well all we hear is "he did most his scoring when Lin was out, stopping an elite PG is a team defense thing"

    when the opposing PG has a bad game "Lin shut him down!!"

    For the Rockets sake I hope to see many people claiming Lin shut down CP3 all by himself.

    the problem with this team is not Lin, Its not being able to defend which is not Lins problem and the ability to score down Low.....thats the problem. Give the Rockets a big guy like Tyson Chandler, just anyone who can catch and finsh, someone strong and you would see a championship caliber team
