    So... almost everything that's gone wrong with this season so far is traced to a single, then-seemingly-insignificant decision: waiving Jeremy Lin.

    Think about it:

    (1) The Rockets waived Lin in order to sign Dalembert.
    (2) Among PGs, the Rockets decided to keep Jonny Flynn instead of Lin.
    (3) Among the minimum wage guys, the Rockets also kept Jeff Adrien instead of Lin.

    The result?

    Dalembert has struggled so far, seemingly getting worse.
    Jonny Flynn still plays like a head with its chicken cut off.
    Jeff Adrien is bad on the court when he played.
    Jeff Adrien also injured Lowry's foot in practice.

    Everything is connected. Jeremy has spoken.

    Jonny Flynn looks like a little kid out there.

    That's true - and to say nothing of the points, assists, and intangibles that Lin would have brought us on the roster. I don't think 8-0 is out of the question with him.

    If only we had Jeremy Tyler, the dude that was sooooo much better than Chandler Parsons.

    That is not a fair comparison is Tyler better than Dalembert and Thabeet, if so, then we still should have taken him.

    I'd say this curse is a little longer than one off-season ...

    Jeremy Lin to Greg Smith > Cp3 to Griff?

    CP3 to Griff is obviously better right now, so stop trolling.

    However, Lin and Smith do have higher upside.

    Foolish to draft for need in the second round. Have to draft best available.

    True. If Larry Bird was black, he would have never made it. If Michael Jordan was white, he would have never made it.
