    Maybe we can get T-Pain to ride the end of our bench to get the message across :cool: Can he still find work?

    Never did b4 but just started. 8 names already. Does reduce the time I spend here.

    If we all used the ignore list, today's thread would be 40 pages short only

    Rockets record last 10 = 7-3. West top 8 only Memphis did worse, and it's 6-4. Everyone else is 7-3 or better.

    We better win on the road in Jan.

    Here is Jeremy's average stat line in the last 9 games (Rockets are 7-2 in their last 9 games). Numbers rounded to the nearest whole number.

    15/04/07
    34 Minutes
    6-12 FG (actual FG% = 51.4%)
    1-4 Three point attempts/makes
    2-3 Free throws attempts/makes
    2 Steals
    0 Blocks
    3 Turnovers
    +13 Plus/Minus
    19 Raw Efficiency

    So, a guy who has played just 96 total games in his career (and started just 57) and is putting up 15/04/07 on 50% FG with a (2+)-to-1 Assist-To-Turnover Ratio and a 19 Raw Efficiency number recently is supposed to be performing poorly?

    Additionally, 5 of Houston's last 9 opponents have been Top-10 teams, record-wise, in the NBA (NYK, MEM, SAS, OKC, ATL). So it's not like Lin is feasting on weak teams. And 4 of the 9 games have come on the road.

    Only thing that stands out to me, in a bad way, is the three point percentage. I'm not really worried about that, since guys like Rajon Rondo and Jason Kidd began their careers as terrible long-range shooters. Jeremy can work to improve his 3-point shot.

    Rajon Rondo is still an extremely mediocre 3 point shooter. 27% on the season, 25% in his career.

    Took care of business at home. Sometimes you have to win ugly. At least it wound up being a 12 point victory in the end.

    Beg to disagree...we are not in the position to say what the team's standing right now if the trade didn't happen...whether Lin is an All Star or not depends on what people perceives him to be...
