    Well, we sure should beat the lowly Wizards ... or will we?

    If anyone is blaming Lin ---you just hate him as a person cause Brewer, Casspi and Garcia played like garbage

    Lin's foot on the line is being highlighted, but it's not even the worst mistake the team made tonight or even in the final two minutes. For example, how Harden (or Brooks?) didn't know where Harden was supposed to be on a play out of a timeout is beyond me.

    Also, people think about the final "crucial" plays in games decided by a few points but the points scored or shots missed in the middle of the 2nd quarter also count toward the final score. The team was stagnant and mistake-prone the entire game. They didn't end up with 80 points for the game by only being bad at the end of the 4th quarter.

    Yeah but if we Had Delfino, he would be on injured reserve list right now.

    Can't disagree with that. Lin needs/expected to play better. Hope he gets out of the slump soon.

    Yes it should concern all Rocket fans especially those who have been one for a long time not just since Lin has been here. He gets paid $30 million and that could be given to a player who is much better and therefore could make this team better and you know what's funny ? I'm one that has never really put him down but it's getting old all the turnovers, stupid passes and toes on the line....

    The Rockets have no depth... The bench is garbage, especially with Asik, Beverly and Parsons out of the rotation.

    There are a number of bench pieces available via trade, let's hope Morey adds them.

    He was calling for the ball too. We don't start getting into the set until too deep on the clock. He needs to stay there too. Don't come out and set the picks. He is too nice. Too nice at times.

    Yup, that's why Lin gets so much hate.

    Man... Way I saw, Dwight needed to manhandle and better box out better for entry pass.

    McHale has been great? I don't agree. Yeah, Jeremy sucked today but Jeremy's strength is coming off the bench. He played a solid game against the lakers the other night too. The offensive schemes and inconsistent defense really bothers me.

    So Asik can coast freely with a phantom injury and weekly trade requests?

    At least he plays, steps on the line for a clutch 2.

    You don't need a great PG to be a contender. It's not even close to as important as qb.

    And i think this team needs a backup C and a starting PF more than PG right now.

    Seriously? It concerns me because it affects the salary cap which hinders the Rockets a bit.

    Dvr'd the game, put it on, watched the first quarter and then turned it off. I already knew they were gonna lose. Rockets are super garbage, to be fair, its hard to be good or consistent with so many injuries but still...garbage.

    Yeah, but a foot on the line, and he is supposed to be the starting point guard on this team. A good pg does wonders.

    He's being sarcastic.
