    Yes. But Lin has an easier time getting off his shot. It wasn't an awful move but Lin should have been in and in there rebounding. If he had got that long rebound he could have pushed it with harden already at half court.

    we tend to break against bad teams... but once we are set at 4 I think we are fine

    He's been very consistent: When he gets tons of screens, he rockes and the Rockets rocks; when he is made iso-pass past half court, he sucks and the Rockets sucks.

    It's been perfectly consistent.

    Knew we were in trouble 5 min into the game from the offense McHale was running, prayed for a half-time adjustment, it didn't happen.

    reminds me of when kenny smith wasn't hitting crap, so we would ride a hot sam cassell til the end. yeah, i'm old.

    beverly was playing with energy and was hitting shots, lin looked sluggish and unfocused. i'm not going to put all of this on lin, though. the whole team looked wiped.

    We attempted 46 and made 19 of them.

    I'm more concerned about our defense. The Wizards are a terrible offensive team, and we allowed them to score 105 points on high efficiency. The Rockets defense has been sputtering for a while, but we were winning because of our hot shooting.

    so are you in the lose-our-playoff-spot-to-the-lakers group then? and our 2nd half schedule is WAY easier than our first half so im all right with it

    Lin played badly but the veteran Delfino was just as bad if not worse. Yet everyone is piling on just one guy.

    Probably cuz they have higher expectations for Lin.

    One guy has more expectation and didn't deliver. So the criticism is fair. However, trashing him when he's sick is unfair.

    McHale has been playing Delfino like he is a star, that is stupid coaching

    Should have won. D-Mo should have been in instead of Delfino at the end, blah blah. But look, it's the wizards you guys........ they casted a nasty spell on our rockets at halftime so that they wouldn't have any fuel left towards the end to finish off the game with a win.

    Our schedule gets easier, let's focus on the next game that we better win!

    It's pretty easy actually. He has always sucked when running the McHale r****ded iso-initiated offense. It's on the coach for not knowing his personel.

    I will put it on Lin when it's actually on Lin.
