It has happened a lot, even more so at home then away, in the last few years that we get credited with less blocks than we actually had. It's amazing.
Just like when he airballed that 3 pointer right when we needed it back in december? not hating but Lin is not a closer. Good win guys.

Patience and Jumping to conclusions on a whole game based on a sample. Oh and also the coaches' ability to make adjustments. This is a very good team.
this game called for some hilarious gifs........ greg smith's 3pts dance delfino's face harden flexing after an and1 rodman, where you at!
The Lakers kept in the game for the first half because they got to play at a faster pace for a bit, which allowed Nash to do what he's best at, and forced Lin focus on guarding him. Nash did the most damage in the 1st half. Coaching made good adjustments beginning in the 2nd half. I thought there were two turning points in the 3rd quarter. At the beginning of the 3rd I think they rotated Lin and a bigger man to defend Nash, which allowed Lin to start attacking the paint (and thus his game picked up). The second point was when they took Asik out towards the end of the 3rd, and went with a smaller line up. It was still a 1 point game with about 3 minutes left in the 3rd, when Parson's hit a 3, then Lin drove for a layup, then Delfino hit a 3, then Lin hit a 3, then Parson's made 2 free throws. Lakers did not make any buckets in these few minutes, and Houston was up 12 points. Houston kept with the smaller lineup, and Lin kept on attacking the paint. Nash was basically nullified in the 2nd half. Coaching did a good job.
