    Wrong. All losses count the same. Handing a loss to OKC does nothing more for us than handing a loss to the Wiz, if we could have managed it.

    The wizards have only Won 17 games, but in those 17 games they have beaten teams like the Heat, Thunder, Hawks, Nuggets (2X), Knicks, Nets, Clippers, Rockets. Sure they suck but they have still beaten some good teams

    Lin drives....pump fakes, defender stays on him....Lin jumps in the air...twirls around, tosses a pass that's immediately picked up by Ariza.

    Lin catches the ball for an open 3pt shot. Doesn't shoot it, pump fakes and dribbles in a few times for an open 2pt shot...DOESN'T SHOOT IT EITHER.


    Sorry, I don't think Lin was the only reason why the Rockets lost tonight, but the PG position did NOT do "fine" tonight.

    He only trolls, that's it. Clutch is okay with it for whatever reason. So just put him on Ignore and CF immediately gets more enjoyable to read.

    I agree with you there.

    Also, Parson sat too close to Lin (;-.-)

    This I agree with. It's not 'ok' to be bad on a back-to-back, just because that's how it's been. He needs to figure something out about that.

    We lost to raptor, kings and Wizard, so I agree. Nothing is easy.

    Sorry Superstar, I was this close to hopping on your LOH wagon when I read that Jeremy had the flu :p
    If that's the case then I can cut him some slack, the games when James and Asik had it they played like crap as well. It'd make sense because today something definitely wasn't right about him.

    Haha, I thought according to CF members Lin plays better sick....at least, that was the reason when he put up 29 points against OKC.

    Rockets were up 6 with just 6mins left. Then McHale subs Lin in and the lead went away quick. Beverly should of been able to finished the game and especially knowing now that Lin is sick.

    Flu and cold can affect your recovery. I don't know about him playing better sick, though, since even superstars like Kobe can't do it.

    For me, it's also because he's been demonstrably inconsistent from week to week, and occasionally within single games... he has amazing games, and then he goes cold. I really like his attitude and work ethic, and i understand that he's playing sick, but the Jekyll and Hyde routine makes it real frustrating, and tonight's performance provokes a knee-jerk reaction in me.

    Hopefully Lin can get more consistent, fast, and I hope that Beverly continues to develop.
