    Did I say anything else beside his bad shooting?
    Why did you get so sensitive?

    the past 3 games... were depressing to be a Rockets fan... just when we think we have all things going . . . we messed up. Past 3 wins, we rally from behind . . . next 3 losses ... we can not recover. what else is next that this team will offer their fans?

    Sure Lin contributed on defense but last I checked you need to put the ball in the basket to win, and on offense he contributed a grand total of NOTHING.

    Oh well


    Role players will be role players.

    Greg Smith grabbed more rebounds in 4 minutes than Morris and Patterson grabbed in 32 minutes combined.

    Greg Smith in 4 minutes
    3 rebounds

    Marcus Morris/Patrick Patterson in 32 minutes (combined)
    2 rebounds

    Defense doesn't count because it doesn't show up in the box score. I think Lin needs to start stat-stuffing instead of wasting his energy on D. At least that way he won't look like a disgrace in the box score.

    If Lin just went 20-8 with terrible D everyone would be perfectly happy imo.

    D'Antoni's Phoenix Suns also regularly went with an 8-man rotation. Not saying its a good or bad idea, but there's a precedent for a great run and gun team doing it. And that team was older than ours.

    Yeah Lin didn't play well. Missing 3's still. Not being able to convert on lay ups. But also he was getting hacked as well no calls.

    Also he was 2 for 13. But when the team goes overall 8-32 from 3 & 4 of those 3's are by Delfino driving lanes won't be there. Particularly when you can't get on ball screens. Lin needs to shoot better he is part of the problem for poor shooting he isn't the solution but guys need to set screens for the guards as well.

    I was talking about McHale getting completely exposed and being forced to change things. Morey should breathe down his neck a bit to force him to play more people from the bench.

    He needs to bring more offense plain and simple. He's making too much not to.

    McHale needs to start playing more players like the Pop does on B2B. He needs to give DMo and Anderson more PT when the team plays B2B games and they still have plenty of them left. On to the Clippers on Tuesday need to get out of this mini losing streak.

    over 82 game season you're going to have bad losses, and tough stretches, just the way it is. Look at the Clippers, 2 days rest and they lost at home against Orlando and Afflalo looked like LeBron James out there.
