    Chris Brousard called out Lin on twitter...so messed up. the All Star game is a popularity contest. If it were based on ability or stats there would be no need for a vote. Just go down the stat sheet and have the league choose the players.

    I wonder what black analysts like Stephen A Smith and Chris Brousard have against Lin. It's goes beyond normal media criticism. It seems almost personal to me.

    It sure stinks that you see and value race like this, and therefore perceive every slight against Jeremy Lin through the prism of racial bias.

    Here's the only "Jeremy Lin tweet" he's made in weeks:

    Sure is some controversial stuff there. :rolleyes:

    It's simple. Lin has the ability to prove them all wrong which I think he will

    He's not done, this is a bump. If it doesn't happen for him in houston it will someplace else. He's a special player. But he's going to have to prove this over and over, it's just how it is. What have you done for me lately.

    Trap game? Maybe . . . Is it so easy to forget that Toronto has blown us out every game we've played up there for years?

    As expected, McHale confirms Marcus Morris will start in place of the injured Patrick Patterson today.

    With Bargnani out, don't expect Asik to single-handed bully the crud out of the Raptors like last time.

    This is the chance for these guys to step up and force the Rockets mgmt to play them more...If Morris starts and gets the offense rolling, that is only going to further solidify trust in him and perhaps he wont lose this spot the rest of the season.

    If TJones emerges and plays like he is capable of playing he has a chance to do just that... Bottom line, is that a starting spot has just opened up, and the players have a chance to make it work...Best of luck to Morris and TJones...

    Ridiculous. Why doesn't Lin start at PF ahead of Morris?

    Coach is obviously racist.

    I can see how switching so often between SF/PF skills and defense can become annoying as a player - unfortunately that's just the way Marcus is built. If it continues for a while I think his development at either position will be stunted. The plus side with the current offense is that our PF has been playing outside the paint quite often so Morris should continue doing well tonight, and score a fair number. Hope he can display his rebounding skills tonight, and keep up with the opposite PF (thanks to a soft Raptors front court)
