    Wow, I honestly question your purpose on this site. Every single comment, and I mean EVERY single one I have seen from you is one where you are either talking ****, putting down Lin, or something along those lines. Do you ever have something positive to say? I hesitate to call you a troll cuz you have been here since 04, and that would be a whole lot of time spent on the Internet talking ****. You amount of time that you spend talking and posting about Lin, i would think he is your first born child or something. I get that you don't like him, but the constant **** you say just disrupts the whole forum experience.

    Just casual trolling. Why you get so mad?


    Sometimes I troll the LOH's for the chuckles.

    Beverly's officially been called up.

    Jonathan Feigen ‏@Jonathan_Feigen
    Rockets to call up rookie Patrick Beverley from the D League, per source. Was planned anyway but Lin ankle sprain set the timing.

    according to Wages of Wins, Houston was supposed to have lost the last 3
    (If I’m reading that last chart right, and was supposed to have won against the Lakers).

    It also, still, pegs Houston for 4th playoff seat.

    Yes, I know it's early to talk about playoffs but my point is that people shouldn't be panicking yet. It's a schedule loss and it's good for this young team to learn how to push past it.

    Maybe King1 also feels that the whole forum experience has been disrupted for him by people who, from his perspective, constantly spew ****. Can you really blame anybody for feeling frustrated occasionally when you have a place full of people with so many strong and diverse opinions? No disrespect to Jeremy Lin or his loyal fan base, but I have to admit that a few of King1's zingers have been chuckle worthy.

    Having said that, I hope Lin recovers quickly from his ankle sprain and posts some monster numbers. Go Rockets! All of them.

    It's game-by-game.

    If Lin keeps up with the opposing PG and they fail to iso Lin, then Lin shut him down. If the opposing PG lights up Douglas or uses a ton of screens to get himself free of Lin, it's due to team defense succeeding or failing.

    Recently, many of the PG's have had to use screens to get free of Lin, which is a credit to his man defense, because that means that the PG's can't get free of Lin by himself.

    I'd say, "watch the game", but I know a lot of Houston fans can't, or don't have time, and can only track the boxscore or see highlights. But the truth of the matter is that it's a long season, and teams make adjustments against each other. One of these adjustments is how Lin defends his assignment; another is how his assignments adjusts to him. So you can't really generalize.

    This is about as favorable of a situation as we could face the Clips in. Hope it's enough.

    He did that on purpose so as to create reactions from the LOF. Don't mind him is all I can say.

    Wish CP3 and Lin speed recovery from their respective injures so they both can play tomorrow and give us a fun game to watch. Was looking forward to this matchup for a long time. :p

    Clippers will be coming off a back-to-back after playing the Grizz. Hopefully they'll be a bit worn down and banged up. Go Gasol!! But that said, the depth on that team is scary. Even w/o Paul, they still have Bledsoe, Billups and Crawford.
