    Dude he barely played and it's a preseason game and he's in a team deep with PG.... No need to state your case twice on Lin one in the game thread and this, he's not gonna get a roster spot on this team...

    No one is arguing that Lin is a savior, but he I wouldn't judge him based on 2 minutes of play. He did what I would expect from someone in his position, dominate the ball and show that he deserves a spot on the roster.

    He could bring in some energy off the bench as a third stringer in the league, but I doubt he would see any time on the Rockets behind Lowry/Dragic/Flynn.

    If they are looking to waive Blakely, it looks like Linn may be sticking around.

    Why do people spell it Linn or Lynn, it's Lin. How is that hard to spell.

    wait so is this like a derogatory thing? Lin versus Lynn versus Linn? I'm confused...

    Although it is common for girls, there are still lots of men with the name. I know one Lynn myself.

    Until the injuries hit us like last year.

    Weren't we all happy about Brooks and Lowry last year? That we didn't need a third stringer?

    If Lin doesn't make the roster for this team, I hope he more opportunities with other teams.

    He will give Dragic and Flynn serious competition.

    I don't get the excitement over Jeremy Lin. His upside is a back PG on a bad team or the 3rd PG on a good team. On his best day, he's Matt Maloney without the shortened 3 point line.

    So again, no one answered my question... why do people suck at spelling his last name? L-I-N.

    Trade Flynn and Dragic for draft picks.

    Jeremy will be the backup PG.
