    Why you pick Lin out? The Rockets have 0 defense.

    Im not convinced the Rockets are gonna win this game they beat the Bobcats but man it was an UGLY win so if the Rockets havent found there shot this is gonna be a tough one unless the W boost there confidence and start playing better

    Lin's D will fail mchale's feelings/eye test and he'll be benched the entire 4th qtr. Lawson will score double digit points in one qtr, like Kemba did against Beverly. But Beverly will provide a, you got it, huge spark and hit a corner 3.

    We're not winning this game. I'm looking for improvement at each position and a moral victory.

    If the shots dont go in there not winning but if they play like they did when they were 21-14 then they can win this game but the shots have to fall in

    We need a new coach, man. I hope Mchale resigns this off season. I feel bad for the guy because of his daughter, but when it comes to basketball, he needs to get his head right and coach better.

    If Mchale has Delfino guarding Faried or McGee then He should def be fired

    Lawson has been struggling all season and his numbers are actually comparable to Lins this season. Of couse I would rather have Lawson but he's been a huge disappointment (I drafted this guy on my fantasy team in 2nd rd - big mistake.) They jumped the gun on giving him that 48 mil/4yr extension.

    Lin needs to guard Lawson well but I'm kinda more worried about the front court matchup. Denver is just too strong up front.

    Parsons and Delfino will initiate plays

    Harden ISOs

    Beverley and Lin in the corner 3

    Patterson and Morris in the other corner 3

    McHale will run small-ball against Denver's two-big line-ups.

    We get outrebounded and all our turnovers lead to transition points.

    Lose by 10.

    You forgot one thing, at the top of the arch, Harden's pocket was picked,
    fast break for Nuggets. (Repeat 3 times).

    Does Les ever complain about this?

    Every year it feels like the same thing. The Rockets get 20+ b2bs every year seemingly, that's not right.

    Iguodala will go off against Harden and their bigs will kill us underneath. Lin will play tough against Lawson but will be yanked for Beverley in crunch time. Looks like a loss to start another losing streak.
