    I remember hearing him say that he was really determined to shut Lin down when he first faced him. He ended up with a trip double.

    Lin's gonna have a target on his back the whole season. Hopefully he is the real deal.

    So Lee, Terry, and Green are enough to turn last years Celtics into regular season juggernauts and NBA champions?

    It's a possibility, but big talk always leads to let downs.

    Of course, all of his people want to beat Lin.

    The Rockets do not have enough athletic people on the team, with thenlikes of Lin, Asik, Parsons, Delfino, Motiejunas on the roster. Even guys like White and Martin are only of modest athleticism. Hopefully some of the other more athletic players like Jones and Patterson can step up.

    They were in the conference finals and lost in 7 games to the eventual champion last year. I don't see how it's that far-fetched.

    Bring it on cocky b*stard, Lin has too much class and style + he's humble to get down to his level.

    Ending up on the back end of the lottery every year is bad enough; if I find the Rockets in a pawn shop, I'll be in the streets protesting.

    He is a good point guard with full of attitude. Ray allan knows him the best.

    That is why he does not want to play with him.

    If Rondo wants to win a title next year, he better invent a time machine for KG and Pierce.

    In the game against Lin, Rondo didn't just post a triple-double; it was like a like a double triple double, nearly 20-20-20. It was sick. In the post game interviews, Kevin Garnett confirmed that Rondo was indeed really motivated for that game.

    I remember players wanted to beat up on Yao when he first came to the league.

    Race?
