    goodness sakes, team's winning/wins and people still complain...

    Lin and Harden shouldn't waste their energy on the Wizards with Celtics up friday. I rather they go ham then. Harden is so talent he can score 30 barely trying.

    The most impressed thing with Lin was his defence in the fourth. That foul call was not a foul, and his close outs and pnr defence was much better than usual. Parsons is a player I think every Rockets fan must like (including me). He is CLUTCH.

    They should...Start Lin and Harden together...in the 3rd...take lin out by mid 3rd quarter...and let him play all the 4th... harden should take a break at the beginning of the fourth and then come back into the game by the mid 4th or earlier if Lin is struggling...Mchale keeps the worst offensive unit during the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th...and that is unacceptable...thats just poor rotations...and not knowing that ur best players have to be on the court at all times...when one isnt on the floor...the other one should be...they need to address this garbage...

    This team was playing really sloppy but I think that we really played down to our opponents. Hopefully they step up for a nationally televised game against the Celtics.

    McHale is still very much tinkering with the rotation hopefully he figures things out quickly. Patterson was bad in this game still don't like his play. They were leaving him wide open he needs to hit those shots & Delfino was meh.

    But they still shot 50%...so who cares?

    It's nice to know Lin can put up 38 like he did last night. It's even nicer to let teams know we have 2 other scorers that can shoot 50% so they don't target any one player.

    I like it. Good game. Move on to the next one I say.

    Yeah, I remember that game. I think John Wall scored like 85 points on Lin that game ;)

    TJ looks more of small forward. He looked great in SL at PF, but from the minutes in the NBA so far, PFs are too big and strong for him in the painted area.

    Um, take a guess who's leading the team in shooting percentage.

    It was the perfect game for the players to better feel out each other with that extra pass to find the open man. If coaching wants him to be the PG, then tonight he did fine. What they need to do is incorporate more high PnRs. With Harden as the main scorer, Lin does not need to score a whole bunch. Although I do agree that he needs to put up a few more shots... maybe average around 12 shots a game.

    When Lin does the pick and roll with Patterson, Patterson never rolls to the basket! But, the defenders don't respect Patterson's shot, so both end up guarding Lin, and it's too tough for him to go 1 on 2 in the lane on that.

    So, Lin passes it to Patterson, but Patterson misses the 17 footer. Patterson should roll to the basket and give Lin the option to pass it to him for a dunk or layup.

    That's how Lin and Tyson Chandler were so effective last year. On the pnr, Lin would lob to ball and Tyson would dunk it. Tyson always rolled to the basket.

    Good win and our starters did not have to go all out. Can't wait till Friday's game.

    What? WIDE OPEN lane to the basket - like clear path. Easy lay-up but he decides to make a bad pass to Patterson? (pass came low to PPatt - ankle level and he bobbled it). I'd like to see more aggression out of Lin.

    Uh can shoot. Shooting 50% for the season.

    Rebounding isn't a problem for the Rockets. Parsons and Asik are both elite at it for their respective positions. Playing well for the whole games makes up for any supposed mistakes in the final few minutes.

    Great win!
    A lil disappointed my benchmark for Lin wasn't met, but whatever.
    Next game should be great though.

    'The Celtics All-Star (Rondo) also said he expects to beat Jeremy Lin "pretty badly" when Boston meet Lin's new team, the Houston Rockets, RTHK reports.' This was back in the summer.

    I hope Lin takes it a bit personally! I know I would come out harder if someone trash talked me like that. Haha.

    Lin can't go left, can't go right.. He doesn't belong in the Association.
