    can't believe that Lin can't even get to the FT line......how sad, how much longer can you defend his play anymore.....it's embarrassing to all asians at this rate! yeah, i'm asian and i said it.

    Don't forget Parsons. He had his 4th double-double of the season. He's rebounding the ball really in these past few games.

    If nothing else, this will be a huge test of Lin's will. It would be nice if he burns his old team like Asik did tonight.

    Lin might be the worst point guard in the league right now:(

    Sorry mate, I'm one of the biggest Lin supporters, but 2-9, 5 turnovers and he really looked lost out there tonight.

    Douglas was only 1-4 but luckily for him, and us, it was the shot that counted.

    I thought he started off well and then Sampson inexplicably pulled him when he was finding his rhythm.

    What Lin needs to do is get some confidence...and I thought that was a bad move.

    I am not denying that Lin has not been playing well, but I really don't feel that the rocket coaching staff are developing him the right way. His complete lack of confidence had a lot to do with rockets coaching this season.

    in his defense, he was hacked a few times and should've gone to the free throw line but still way to inconsistent. He looks scared out there. The confidence issue is really beginning to show and affect his play.

    agreed the matchup was bad, his game was off, i am hoping he is not looking forward to playing the knicks and thinking about that. at least he won't be in the garden.
    he is probably thinking about how they were saying he wasn't that good of a pg once he was gone.

    Lin gets paid 8 million a year to do his job. Coach is paid to get the team win, not to pamper one player's feelings. Lin is in a slump, and he needs to figure it out and fight through it.

    If the coach treats Lin specially, while ignoring everyone else's feelings, a few fans might be happy, but every player will turn against Lin. I am not sure you would want that.

    Stop being so sensitive for Lin, just picture this in your working environment, and replace Lin with a common colleague.

    I would say Parsons is pretty safe, unless of course the trade consists of a top tier superstar, then in that case all non-superstars would be unsafe.

    What is your opinion on Sampsons rotations? Like Lin started off well in the first quarter & then Sampson pulled him out. He is very rigid with his rotations. Seemed odd to me. This is about the third time Sampson has done this.

    Worst starting PG, maybe. I think he's better or equal to most bench PGs.

    Sampson does not drive a Volvo.
