    Jeremy Lin is far from Rondo, Jeremy Lin is far closer to Derrick Rose than Rondo.

    with this Beverley signing, Love not happy, Cousins mess, LMA, etc... looks like Lin will be freed . . . . out of the Rockets if you read some postings. Some posters are OK to have Lin as part of trade package for Love, LMA and Cousins.... welll... hmmm... let's see about that. Looks like that Lin is not really welcomed here in Rockets City by all... just the owner wants him here. Good Luck to all if indeed Lin will be Freed (traded).

    Posters here don't make decision for the team. Les and Morey do. I don't think they will trade Lin. Do you seriously think we will start Beverley? Come on;)

    eggnogs taste good :cool:

    I watched again the Griz vs. Rockets recent game. 2nd Quarter, Harden Resting. TD and Lin on the floor. What the Fack is Lin doing on the sides, camping out there? why is TD doing majority of the point job? I thought he needs the ball to play great... F8cking Lin just camping out there. :mad: Glad we won that one. I mean I even saw Delfino doing some PG work because they are on top of the key . . . Lin doing some disappearing act out there.. doesn't he realized that opponents dont fear his jumpshot? :mad: SMH just camping out there.

    Lin Doesn't have a choice the coaches tell him to go camp out in the corner sometimes, that is part of their game plan.

    Lin is a good pg. Who cares if he is top five or not? He's not the problem we have to solve for. He got his confidence back and is playing more aggressively so that's good.

    WE don't need more than 15-20 pts a game from Lin, we need 7+ assists from him. What makes him an NBA starting point guard is his intelligence, his passing ability, and his ability to penetrate. If he can add a consistent jump shot than it will make him the complete player. I think he's got some Jason Kidd in him. Will he be a top five pg? I don't know. He will be a solid one at the very least.

    Now...with Harden, Lin doesn't have to be the primary ball handler all the time. That's why he needs a jump shot. So that when Harden gets double teamed - Lin can hit that open trey with ease. Lin needs to get to 40% on the 3-ball, and that will open up harden's game more. A lot more.

    The other thing Lin would benefit from is a better PnR player to work off of, and more interior players that can hit a 10-15 foot jumper. That's the big knock on Kevin Love - he's not a great jump shooter.

    Bosh would have been a much better fit, even a David West. But we need a PF that can play physical, hit a jumper, and do well on PnR. That's the key for Lin, Harden, and this team.

    Lin once compared himself to Goran Dragic.

    That's probably the most accurate comparison, but I think Lin has the potential to be a better assist man than Dragic is.

    In my opinion, Jeremy Lin is Rondo with a jump shot.

    Rondo has an accurate jumpshot. Common misconception.

    True - I don't really view Derrick Rose or Rondo as top 5 PG's

    Why would you hate a player when his fans say something?
