    Rockets up 4 when Lin comes out.
    Rockets now up 5. Beverley declared hero.
    That being said, it's a team game and would be nice to see Beverley type effort from everyone. We didn't get that until the end. But that's cause starters play big minutes. You can't expect them to play like Beverley who plays 15 a game on average.

    Damn I wonder if Asik still wishes he was in Chicago sometimes. He doesn't get any help on boxouts, and then he's usually the only one back in position on the other end. If they're going to play D like that, might as well keep someone else in for a box out.

    We almost gave the game away in crunch time. That's what happens when Lin is not in in crunch time. Lin's a killer- he needs to be in the game at the end.

    Lin has lost his close out spot to Beverly.

    With AB0, where will Lin be?

    I actually see this as Lin's weakness. He's too much of a "team player" and is content to just be disrespected and treated like crap. Wish he'd grow a spine and stick up for himself and maybe just maybe call out his coaches, or voice his displeasure...or just say eff it and play his game regardless of what McHale and staff want him to do.

    i like a lot of our players, but I reallly like ones who are playing well that night. Delfino,beverly and chandler are why we win tonight. d mo was a no go too much and robinson was holding hot potatoes apparently.

    Lin might be injured. Like with the Wizards game, McHale limited Lin's minutes because he was sick except he didn't tell the media until after the game.

    Pop in SA has sat Duncan and Parker numerous times to end a game when the bench has done better to make a point.

    Lin aint at the level of either.

    LIN plays great the 1st Q in the last 2 games but always gets benched in the last 4 mins regardless Bev plays well and will play the entire Q

    Maybe we were just unlucky the last 3 games. This is the hardest the Magic have played all season.
