    earth to rocket fans he's living up to the 5 million dollars he's getting paid this year. At best you're 30-35 win team, deal with it. People around here act like Lin/Harden/Asik and buncha NBDL and Euroleague players are supposed to make the playoffs.

    Lin is really inconsistent from 3. He either air balls it or swishes. So very odd. He was never a good spot up shooter last year though so I am not surprised a lot of his shots were jumpers off the dribble.

    The way Lin is playing right now is solid to you? Outstanding at times?

    Is this real life...

    I really don't believe so but then again neither one of us is on McHale's staff.

    During Linsanity, Lin had the ball most of the time. Now his job was to get the ball across the midcourt. smh

    How is Lin getting paid more than Dragic and Lowry? I guess being Asian goes both ways.

    Sounds like another guy I disliked very much....Except this guy would have more shot attempts than McGrady and even Yao sometimes.

    I think JEremy Lin needs to change his shooting mechanics. The guy shoots way too high for some reason. It's a very awkward release.

    I know but why does he do that though is it the coaches telling him to do it or Lin just being passive. I think it is the coaches because right now the Rockets are running the equivalent of the Hawks ISO JOE offense but it is ISO HARDEN. Yuck!

    The only thing Lin and Michael have in common is the letters I and L.

    dragic isn't in his 3rd year in the league. He's a 34 million dollar player, who was shooting 31% from three coming into today. Enough with the knee jerk reactions. This is a mediocre team, deal with it.

    I've been saying this since Lins second game here. He is the second coming of rafer. I swear to god. Please somehow spare us years of watching this guy again. I thought with brooks Lowry and dragic we were finally past that phase.

    When your point guard can barely dribble, what else do you want him to do?

    If you are going to quote McHale, then link it. And I do watch the game, and what I see is a Jeremy Lin that is being ordered to hand off the ball to Harden and then go camp on the baseline, and handing the ball to Harden on fast breaks. If this was not an order from the coach, then the coach can easily rectify the situation by telling Jeremy that he is the main ball-handler. The fact that this happens game after game tells me that it is intended.

    As I said, Lin needs to be traded to a team that will actually use him correctly, and to a fanbase that is not so knee-jerk and hating.

    They were borderline All-Stars. Calling them great is justified. In fact, I take my valuation considering you yourself admit you aren't a Rockets fan.

    He airballed 2-3 shots in the game. The last one killed us. This religious freak better cope with his stress in a better way. You can tell he's tight and nervous and has no confidence! My suggestion, go have a few beers(more than a few) or a glass of wine and go get LAID! You know some drinks and a good women will help you cope with the day to day stresses. This pent up virgin bit, have you even talked to a women like that. Go out with harden to a strip club. Either way I'm tired of this nervous, tight game play. F'n air ball!
