    Just 5 days ago, Lin was the best player and nearly led the Rockets to a victory against the Mavs.

    Oh wait, that was a whole FIVE days ago. He's probably irreversibly regressed since then.

    Fire everybody!

    To be honest, they are competing for the title of the worst NBA team this afternoon. And Rockets have lost this battle against Bobcats.:grin:

    I don't think Lin is going to be effective coming off the bench because he and Harden just do not mesh well and you guys play Harden almost the entire game every game. Lin just doesn't fit well.

    The last thing I want is Lin shooting more outside jumpers...

    What about when we were crushing teams left and right. Same team. Just going through a rough patch.
    We are a solid but not elite team. And we are young. I love our setup right now.

    The combination of the larger font and color are a bit or an eyesore. That's my opinion. If nobody else seems annoyed, keep at it. I'll not stand in the way of a Rockets fan and how he reps!

    People need to stop saying this nonsense. He got his shots blocked 3 times right at the rim. This has been the theme all year with Lin he struggles against good shot blockers. Bucks, NOLA, OKC etc. So did Harden. Did you catch the game or did you miss it? Cause if you saw the game & have caught every Rockets game this season you would know this.

    The Rockets need to get a big that can block shots, tired of teams just blocking our guys left & right & us not retaliating.

    LMAO. who are you to judge me a Rocket fan or not? And who gives you right to tell me what to do? Are you the president of the fans club? :rolleyes:

    Do you know how to read? Go back to my posts. I barely criticized the Rockets today. All I wrote was that we beat a scrub team and we shouldn't be so proud of our performance because I think they should be playing much better than this. That I call a constructive expectations. The last thing Rockets need is a delusional fans like you who think we played excellent today. :rolleyes:

    Beverley was not THAT good.

    I am sure Lin will start and get 30+ minutes if he is playing well. I know Lin was being scored upon, but I thought he would be brought back in the 4th quarter.

    Let it happen sooner than later. And finally a man can enjoy his cheesecake all by himself quietly.

    This thread will be overrun by LOFs blaming the coach and/or the PFs soon. Time to get out.

    On a side note, will we ever see D-Mo play and surprise all of us how amazing he is with decent minutes from game to game? We NEED his post skills during our games. I hate how we don't use him. How could we NOT use a 7 ft skilled big man!? This boy will surprise us like Greg Smith surprised us. I'm just waiting for that day to come. Does anybody else want D-Mo to start playing every game or is it just me?!

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention, good to see former Rocket Jeff Adrian! Glad he's still in the league.

    Come on Hocash, both Magic and Kidd are elite ball handlers.
