u ya Lin had a bad game but this is a team game when one player has a bad game the others pick their game up this TEAM does that best
Guys give Lin a break he played well for the last 10 games or so, and one game where the stats don't show, you bash on the guy. He played well in the first half and played hard on defense even though he didn't score a whole lot. Another factor he was tired coz he said he was catching a cold last game. HE played well through sickness.
For sure, WAS is better than their record w/ Wall back in the line-up. But honestly, they are overmatched at every single position and HOU has better chemistry.
For the rockets fans, winning should be more important even lin and harden didn't play up to their standard. It is fine to comment on their performance but don't have to be too hard on them. A win is a win. Today's player of the game clearly belongs to delfino.
well yea thats true. I just think we really really really need a PG 3 point thread off the bench in case Lin is not draining his 3's. To be really honest I don't even think it matters that much if we can get Dwight or J Smoove in the summer because then Lin can just play a Rondo role. If he doesn't hit the 3 we can just rely on Delfino, etc, to provide us with our outside shooting. Problem is we are playing small ball this season. And if you don't have a shooter at the 3 then its gonna make the up-tempo offense so much more difficult. Teams are gonna dare him to shoot the 3 like we did to Gerald Wallace today and if he has a rough patch, coupled with Harden handling the ball, he will be that much more ineffective. Either way I think there is room for improvement there. Lin's 3 point shooting might just mean the difference between a win and a loss a lot of the nights, as otherwise teams will just pack the paint for James Harden.
Jason Kidd? Jason Kidd? he would be exhausted after one quarter with this crew. lol. We are building for the future. And it seems the future is coming like a frieght train.
Actually we picked up a half decent point guard in the trade I think. Time will tell, but Beverly has upside also. It is what it is right now. This was a HUGE win.
He predicted the 7 game losing streak. Also his prediction has technically already come true, 2 games in a row is a winning streak
Honestly Lin's performance fluctuates a lot. Wish he would give some consistent good performances so I can at least decide if he's avg or good.
Ok guys, how has Lin been inconsistent? I would have agreed with you in the first part of the season, but he has been playing great for many games now. One bad game isn't going to hurt the team, we still won didn't we? If you guys think Lin isn't starter material who exactly do you propose we start? Beverley? Lol no
