    Please, I hope they will change their game plan and let Lin handle the ball a little more.

    Ryan Anderson and Anthony Davis are going to be tough to guard, but our PF's are pretty mobile and able to defend, so Rockets win, 92-88 :)

    Your probably pretty close and right on the dot about Lin, theres being no indication of change from either player or coach.

    Lin is not crushed by his opponents, but his coaching staff.

    Spot-up shooter Lin here we come!

    Erm... lay off Harden please. He's still trying to figure things out. And whatever problem's Lin's facing, that's not on Harden.

    Rockets need both at their peak to really do well.

    So far not bad for Lin...but he has been playing like a SG...

    (I don't know whether I am writing the right English but I still wish you can understand this...) He is the Only one among PGs that one's sample is big enough to be ranked onto the Spot-Up ranking since this season started:

    Agreed. Many thought Lin is the main issue(especially after that poor air-ball) but apparently Harden/coaching is the even bigger issue. Afterwards, I still think Sampson can be a really good coach in the L.

    Kid is super legit. Silky smooth hook shots, range on his jumper, and got 5 blocks his last game.

    I don't see what the Hornets can do about the Rockets' massive advantage in personnel in the backcourt, though.

    Austin Rivers is supposedly getting a start tonight after an early ankle tweak, and wow, is that rookie ever due for a teaching moment. I foresee a lot of abuse by Lin and Harden. Doc Rivers' crotch-spawn is going to get sonned like woah

    LOL OUCH! I actually like Rivers I really hope he develops nicely as a player. Anyway Anthony Davis is really good but I hope Jones outplays him once again.

    Somehow i think that Sampson will be the key to reshuffling Lin and Harden's role while Mchale is on leave. He seems to not be so entrenched in a 'system' like mchale is. If Sampson wont help ignite both players during his tenure as interim head coach, once Mchale comes back, you can forget bout it!!!!!! Maybe Sampson can show Mchale the light! Then again...maybe not....but one can only hope.....
