    What is up with all these members hating on each other about the dumbest crap? Who cares about who's a LOF or LOH. I know that there are a lot of new members that joins because of Lin, either to Love him or just to plain hate on him. This is a Rockets forum page and we're here to talk about the game....

    Seriously, some of you guys need to stop with all this BS. I'm getting tired of seeing Lin's lovers and Lin's haters b****ing at each other 24/7. If you're a Lin's hater, stop coming over to Clutchfans just to hate, take it elsewhere because this is a Houston Rockets fan forum. If you're a Lin's lover, seriously, take it down a notch. Lets be real, Lin has really been sucking lately...

    Say what you want to say about the offensive sets, but anyone with a bit of basketball sense knows our losses are because of the defense. We score more than enough to win. Problem is our players can't seem to stop anyone when it matters or even on a consistent basis. We are a young team and if there's one thing that needs to be firmly enforced, it's the defense - both individually and as a team. At this point, I'd be more than willing to score less points and see more of a defensive effort. If you can't score then fine - but you better not let the opponent score either.

    Yup, thought he played around 8 minutes or so but perhaps it was six. I just remember Mayo very hot from the start even when Lin was in the game. (Of course I think Parsons was on Mayo not Lin so it's a moot point)

    Mayo scored 2 more in the third while in was on the court. Really, its not that difficult.

    Don't just look at the box score, watch the game. Delfino makes a few good hustle plays but defensively he isn't stopping anyone and he jacks up mostly 3 pointers that usually don't fall more then 30% of the time. 30% meaning 70% are bricks or air balls and making it easier for the opposing team to out rebound us.

    Mayo had 22 in the first. You pointed out 17 points. Weird. No need to disrespect man.

    Enough of this Lin talk. I'm so sick and tired of debating it.

    Instead can we talk about Patterson tonight?? All you Patterson defenders crawl out of your caves and repent!! Your soft god has proven he's made of chocolate mousse!!!

    Mayo had 5 points when Lin was subbed out around the 5:55 mark in the first quarter and only scored 2 points in the 3rd.

    I'd say that Harden has had relative "success" this season even though the team isn't doing well. I'm talking about individual success.

    Douglas has hit clutch shots this year. That game winner earlier this year, the shot against LA to take the lead, the shot today to cut the lead to 2. At least give him some credit

    Cos Yao was a BOSS who played through injuries like it was nothing. Lin is just so timid its frustrating.

    Yeah too many people obsessed with Lin on both sides. The bigger story is Harden and whether he will be back soon...

    This entire game was nothing but dish to Harden and hope for the best. To leave your 2 free agents you paid good money for on the bench is stupid. Everyone knows Lin sets up players better and plays better D than Douglas. Everyone knows Asik is a rebounding monster and a very good defensive player. Well I guess everybody except this rockets coaching staff. They watched the team completely bleed out and lose the lead. Two timeouts were taken no substitution. I feel sorry for Mchale but you just cant coach. This rotation needs to be fixed.
