    Tinman must be dealing with some repressed hentai fetish with all these Lin posts. T-man, please get over it. Everyone else has. The only thing you do by bringing up Lin is remind people that you are an idiot. Honest question... if he hit that shot how many shots deep would you be right now ?

    Reminiscent of his '13 airball vs MIA final seconds @ToyataCenter.






    One miss was good, the other was bad.

    Situation:

    Down by 1 point, teammate is playing unstoppable, and a large 6'11 opponent is right in your grill with his hands up.

    Should you:

    A) Pull back and reasses
    B) Pass it to the wide open guy on your left
    C) Work to get the ball to your unstoppable teammate
    D) **** it! Jack that **** up and pray!

    Yeah i know it happened . I was watching the game lol....

    Just try to contain your excitement man. Did you even watch the rest of the game ? Or were you too busy hitting rewind and jerking off ?

    I appreciate you posting in my thread.

    you are not excited by a Rockets win?

    you know in Game 1 of the 95 NBA Finals, Nick Andersen missed 4 free throws.
    It was a memorable moment

    For sure excited. But disappointed at how sloppy we played. We can't tolerate in victory what we would lament in defeat.

    You're right its about a quarter in and a win is the only thing that really matters at this point. Still... i cant be completely happy. Harden had an amazing game .. only 4 T.O's and he had 2 steals. Furthermore, EGO was 6/10 from 3. We just couldn't stop them tonight.

    I mean for christsake Jeremy Lin had 10 points and 7 assists with only 1 turnover. That's inexcusable. Thank God he missed that one shot.

    Edit.. LOL he had a block and a steal too and was a BKN team high +17. I almost wish he had made that shot... of course with the condition the Rockets still won. It would have been worth the Clutchfans entertainment alone.

    Thanks Tinman, if it wasn't for this video I would have never knew what really went down.

    WTF was he thinking? Down by 1, with 24 seconds left 19 seconds on shot clock and he chucks a HIGHLY contested 3 pointer with 21 seconds left? If I was his coach, I would send him straight to the dog house after the game and never allow him to see the light of day.

    Dude is the most worthless scrub of all-time! Remember guys, this joke for an NBA-player makes $12 million per year which makes Brewer's contract look like a steal.

    Also he needs a new stylist/PR rep. He looks like a damn asian girl with his stupid pony tail hair cut. I have never seen an NBA player look this ridiculous in my life.

    Rockets fans have seen Lin make decisions during "Clutch" situation before.
    It's like you know it was coming.

    He's been hit or miss. He's made bad shots and tunrovers, but he also hit big shots in games against OKC and Portland.
