    Was Gogi's shot ever as bad as Lin's is at this moment?

    Lin's shooting is the crux of everything.

    They are sagging off him when other guys have they ball, and taking the drive away from him. If he can just get some shots to start falling it will open everything up.

    Still would prefer to have Dragic, but Lin is better than this.

    Still, I'll give Lin his first complete season to see how far he will go...and I hope the coach allows him to grow via mistakes on court...keep shooting until he makes it

    But I'm a Lin fan, so obviously I can tolerate any of his growing mistakes and will keep on looking for his positives... you guys please go ahead

    I agree.

    I don't know how many times this game I saw Lin receive a pass and be open for a jumper and instead drive to the hoop only to get cut off by one of the Lakers' bigs.

    Once he gets that jumper back, we must prepare for Linsanity 2.0

    Kelvin Sampson is his shooting coach.

    He hasn't shot 50% with two shot attempts.

    What houston fans think
    OMG LIn is Trash , WE need Lowry or Dragic , WE can't win without Them , their the greatest PGs Ever, Lin should be in the D-League

    What Really happened
    Howard Schooled ASik
    Gasol schooled Patterson
    Kobe Destroyed Parsons
    Metta outmuscled Harden
    LIN left PGs open to help on post
    Laker PGs Hit 6 WIDE Open threes
    LIn played terrible rotational Defense

    i agree his shooting is definitely broken. Needs to fix it . until then he is just going to have to bear all this negative backlash.

    has his shooting form changed from last year? I remember that he had a weird shooting mechanics last year , but at least it worked.

    Lowry was not gone either way. Money solves everything. He would have talked it over with Coach McHale and everything would have been fine.

    Bottomline they weren't willing to offer him a legit contract and instead chose to go for the fraud hyped Lin.

    Lin is not a star and probably never will be. I'll admit, his storied two weeks in New York were magical, but in the long run I don't think he is the answer at starting PG moving forward. He's the best we got now so we have to roll with him. I just hope his shot improves because he is becoming a liability the way he is shooting right now.

    All your rep belongs to me on this one.

    Jk, but yeah I think I said it first after he aired that 3. It was only a matter of time before someone else did.

    Just imagine how dominant Harden would have been with Lowry.
    (sigh) Kyle Lowry. I miss you.:(

    Harden and Dragic would have been a lot more dynamic...both can penetrate AND play off the both...

    both lucky lefties as well...

    Lin will be a 25mil backup if Rockets truly want to contend going forward.
