    I don't know if that was a flop or not, but definitely there was contact. And given the CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP fouls that was called on Lin in Irving's favor, I say if it was a flop........... GOOOOOD JOB JLin!!!!!

    I was happy for his fortitude on an "off" (hah!) night. I bow to him for coming through when it counted.

    BTW-Was that a patch on his shooting arm?

    This, plus Lin wasn't on Irving the whole time (it's true even if it sounds like a tired argument), and also nobody can stop Irving. That guy and Waiters will Lin/Harden's greatest backcourt rivals in the future in terms of being the most deadly.

    actually, demolition was the road warrios/legion of doom rip off, back in the 80s the WWF had difficulty in signing the LOD from the NWA-Jim Crokett Promotions, hence McMahon created the demolition

    Demolition was just a bunch of KISS wannabes. That being said, I was a fan.

    Lin will often throw his head back when there's no contact above the shoulders to sell contact.

    Streaks continue: Harden's 25+ streak and Rox 4 in a row. :grin:

    Harden showed his brilliance again in the 4th qtr but I'm more impressed on Lin's defense and the 7 steals from Harden.

    Another brutal 4 games coming. Let's go Rox!

    Yes, and no doubt a closer is everything come playoff time. Once again, I'm one of the few who places Harden in the top 5 even with his defense on this board. That's due to his efficiency and bossness at getting a shot which is what a superstar at the end of games do. I'm just saying, Harden didn't bail the Rockets out, as in he was the only one doing well tonight. And I'd iso Harden up in the last 2 3 possessions as well. But not more than that, we're going away from our strength. Better than Artest closing it out, thoug, lol God bless him.

    I think this was the first win for the Rockets, on back end of a back to back road game.

    Yeah, Lin does the head snap back a lot. The reason why he doesn't called for the flop is because he doesn't pretend that he got hit in the head. He doesn't crumple like a rag doll and roll on the floor holding his head as seen in some of the flop warnings the league has handed out.
