    No way! I can't hit ignore. I like reading everything. Even the stuff I don't like reading. ;)

    I want him to be great, but he's just a rookie right now. His speed might carry him to the next level and his shooting/defense/decision making need to steadily improve and become consistent. I see Lin as about the 7-9th range in two years as far as PGs go. I see him making the allstar game 2 or 3 times in his career.

    Here's the thing I like most about Lin, he's exciting to watch and I think that energy that follows him is leading to wins. Winning is worth the b.s. LOF/LOH junk that fills this site. I love him for the wins. Same with James Harden.

    P.S. You are not a Lin-guy. You proved it with even mentioning Battier.

    It's helpful to have an effective vet in times of need.

    Damn! Bulls with a 31 point lead over Warriors in the 4th quarter. I'm glad we don't have to face Chicago anymore this season. Too bad it's a blow out ... this means Warriors will be rested and focused to redeem themselves on Sunday.

    Thank goodness we won. One of my favorite plays tonight was when the Wolves had a 3 on 1 fast break. Lin was the only Rocket back, and managed to draw the charge.

    It's not often an NBA team will blow a three on one fast break. That was pretty remarkable.

    Also loved Robinson's behind the back pass, even though Smith didn't score off of it.

    Delfino's all out effort in the 4th was great as well.

    Harden went absolutely insane in the second half, and I'm so glad the team pulled it together. It started ugly.

    That annoucer, whoever his name is, just can't get that second loss out of his mind. He just mentioned that again...

    Warriors are really soft. Curry, Klay, Lee are all finesse players and avoid contacts. No Warriors really put in the muscle in the paint. They just can't keep up with physical teams. Rockets should pass them up the standing.

    I heard that on the radio and was impressed. It happened a couple games before also. I think Beverly was the lone defender that stopped a 3 on 1

    How is that racist?!!! :)

    The greatest movie ever made, Fast and the Furious, was all about LOFs and it was mixed race. It's just pure unadulterated prejudice. ;)

    I'm not a Knicks fans at all but I wouldn't be surprised that Dolan makes a bid for Lin once his contract is up here with the Rockets.

    Absolutely right. It was Beverly. I think it was the Orlando game. I might be confused though. But it was definitely Beverly who did it before.

    I think it's safe to say we will remain in 7th place tonight. The GSW have a 1/2 game lead still after this loss they are about to get.

    Dayummm the rockets played like a beast tonight. I was down 1-8 in my fantasy basketball match with a team consisting of L James, Harden, Lin, Asik, Parsons and I went to 5-4 tonight. Thank you soo much I'm keeping my 1 ranking in the league!

    It could happen right? Doesn't Lins contract expire when Melo/Amare's do?

    I wouldnt be suprised. I hope they make a huge offer and instead chooses the Lakers

    Dolan would never do it. Too much pride.
