    I'm willing to give the coaches and players more than 22 games to figure everything out. And I don't understand how you can say that a player that is averaging almost 33 minutes per game is wasting away on the bench. Only two other players on the Rockets play more minutes than Jeremy Lin, he is getting plenty of minutes to develop.

    u know what it is. just get Lin out of Houston and as nono says, we stop the farce. yeah, if Lin not got enough for Rockets, trade him up for chocolates or whatever, just don't bench him. hell, send him to the wizards or to the bobcats, I will watch him play there. Not this press release of getting Lin the ball, left side/right side with harden BS and not play him for a full quarter. I wasted my league pass subscription by not saying any Lin play. smh!

    The coaching staff is trying to blackball Lin out of this league and it's so obvious. They purposely bench him in end of games, purposely lower his minutes, turning him into a spot-up shooter despite that being his biggest weakness, and none of them ever say nice things about him.

    Mchale said the only guy that can beat players off the dribble is Harden, didn't even mention Lin when he clearly can.

    Mchale is just a dumb coach and this is why Lowry wanted nothing to do with that *******.

    Based on the last several games and Lin's postgame talk, which, strangely, does not sound very dejected, I suspect that Houston are probably going to ship Lin and PPatson to Lakers for Gasol very soon.

    How crazy do you have to believe that the coaching staff is PURPOSEFULLY trying to blackball Lin? Don't you think they have an interest in having him do well? Question their competence, but good god there's no grand conspiracy here. Lin must be more aggressive. The coaching staff needs to put him in better positions. A few benchings aren't the end of the world.

    Bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Don't wait for Lin to go, just go right now.

    No, I don't think they want him to do well. These assholes want him to fall flat on his face and it's pretty apparent with the way they treat him. If they wanted him to succeed, they would give him playing time, not bench him every 4th quarter or give him less than 20 minutes.

    Can someone please tell me what was said in the interview? It's so noisy in the background (not my background, the locker room's background) I can't hear a thing. Thanks.

    Do you really think Lin is going to play well with KOBE? He is not gonna touch the ball just like he "is not" touching the ball with Harden.

    He said reasonable things like "it's not about me", seemed happy about the win etc. He was being smart, measured, and sane, unlike his legion of fans here.

    Jeremy Lin knows what's important for the team.

    His fans (most of them here anyways) don't.

    If there was anyway we could keep Jeremy Lin and throw out all the Lin only fans here I'll be so happy.
