    McHale only took Lin out because he wanted to raise his shooting percentage this season and not risk Lin missing more shots.

    Dragic is above Avg. but is a undersized SG parading as a PG, but he does have talent

    Lin's a likeable guy off the court, but on it, he's a below average point guard.

    He's easily rattled & unsure of himself, contributing to his high turnover rate & poor shooting numbers. He's hitting 25% from 3PT & has the second lowest TS% of any starting PG in the NBA.

    Where is the aggressiveness & willingness to attack off the dribble that made him such a threat in New York? He has attempted over 3 FTs in a game just TWICE through 19 games.

    We were fortunate to win against the Lakers but yes, I'll take a win any way it is served up.

    As for McHale's in-game management tonight, :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    No wonder our 2nd unit couldn't score. Our best bench scorers didn't play. Greg Smith, Tjones & Morris:confused:

    yes, there are LOF's that do;t mind seeing the rockets lose if lin is not the reason they lost.

    i know it's hard for you to understand but it's the truth

    Notice during that play, Patrick Patterson blocks Collison and Collison got the ball back and dribbled it out of bounds and the refs called it out on Patrick. Then after that, Carter ran into Douglas which was an illegal screen, pushed him all the way to the corner and held him there, that's why Mayo got so open.

    Yes, I honestly feel we would have won the game with Sampson because our guys would have at least been fresh in the 4th.

    Harden rolled his ankle in the first half. If you sit the guy, his ankle will swell and stiffen. Only reason he didn't sit much at all. Harden looked hampered on defense by the ankle. But if you sit him for more than a minute, he won't be able to come back in at all because of the ankle.

    At least that's what I hope the reason was for McHale.

    That's not my point. Despite all the love many posters here claimed to have for Dragic, very few of them followed him to Phoenix.

    Why did all the LOFs follow him from New York to Houston?

    who's talking about surviving, without LOH's and LOF's, ClutchFan just wouldn't be the same. Lin's presence brings so much polarity and discord with the members. I say "Let's Rumble!"

    Yeah when Harden was out, Lin was still passive. If it was the NY Lin, he would of jacked up most of the shots instead he's looking to pass no matter what. He's a good passer but it feels more like he's doing it because of confidence issues.

    This is a new low. Even Raptors fans who hate Casey is celebrating the fact that his inexplicable rotations aren't as bad as McHale's.
