    Seriously dude? You're complaining about an illegal free stream? Email the webmaster and ask him to get CSN Houston LoL

    so far, we've seen the sanantonio/lakers version of harden and the miami finals version as well.

    i've yet to see linsanity. doubt we ever will again.

    I agree, and Asik's reduced minutes support that. I just don't understand why he's running Harden out there for 20 minutes if that's the goal. Harden's play will be much more important than Lin's against Miami.

    Like last game, Lin started off with the first 5 pts then he was quickly benched. The coaches have no concept of feeding the hot hand or riding someone who is in rhythm. Regardless of how much he plays in the second half, it just doesn't make sense to me to yank someone who is getting into a groove, esp if he needs to shoot out of a shooting slump. That and he is the best playmaker on the team. It confounds me.

    lol.... or maybe Sampson hates Harden and doesn't want Harden to get Lin's assists?

    I don't know man...Harden has yet to make a shot where he is running down the clock. They always end in bad looks. I think he was right to shoot the open look that time for a higher % shot. Unfortunately, he missed and gave the pistons a fast break opportunity. Can't always win em

    And stop playing for contact. He goes up pretty soft looking for contact if he takes it harder he'll finish those plays.

    I kinda get a clue abt this too. Yeah Sampson kept Asik too.

    Some of the LOFs are overreacting.

    I agree. Lin never played this bad with NY. The ball is taken out of his hands as soon as he cross half court and he's camping in the corner. What's the point of paying all this money and make him into a spot up shooter?

    His first NBA game as a rookie. Give him a break. He has plenty of time to work on his offense. He's already more aggressive than Patterson, and a better rebounder and shot-blocker.

    The potential is clearly there. He will need time to mould himself into that category of players
