    Every one had a good game tonight.
    If mchale thinks p bev is better than j lin, then he deserves more playing time. After all hes the coach, the rockets hired him to make this kind of decision. No need to be angry when j lin gets benched for the whole 4th qrt, all he has to do to get more minutes is to impress mchale, to convince him hes better than p bev. If he can do that(hopefully he does for his fans), hell get more minutes. If he can't, well, mchale will just give beverly more playing time. There's nothing to complain about. They are both great players. If you're a true jlin fan, you'll believe in him instead of hating on mchale and j harden. Its not their fault! This is all on Jeremy!!

    Spurious Superficiality

    When a disputant allows himself to be sidetracked by irrelevancies, ignoring his opponent's logic and evidence. He cannot grasp the whole of the issue - or the principle underlying it - so he focuses on some small part (usually just one word) and directs his rebuttal to an attack on that tiny bit which is all he can perceive.

    Don't look now, but Asik is pretty close to Yao Ming numbers for the season. Check it out.

    Amare was WAY more gifted offensively than Robinson likely will ever be & Robinson is already way better defensively. But I do agree with you that Thomas has a lot of potential. The game just needs to slow down for him & he needs to work on his offense.

    Specifically, your point is that outcomes set in stone cannot be criticised because they are reality. That's r****ded.

    Seems like TRob plays nervous. Like he makes silly mistakes dribbling the ball off his feet from time to time or just throw up quick, bad looking shots.

    No, a cool dude doesn't lie about other people to justify his own hate. He does this all the time to anyone critical of Lin and anyone who doesn't hate Mchale as much as he does. It's surprising that 1. he's an adult and 2. that he's actually a role model who coaches a team (with this attitude).

    I am so impressed with Asik. He came here touted as a great defender and rebounder, but his constant progression on offensive - not referring to dunks - has been superb.

    I can say otherwise because "almost lost" is merely your opinion. My opinion is that we did not almost lose. Do you have some way to prove that your opinion is more valid than mine? No.

    No, the hate is just sarcasm when he feels ppl are too harsh/hate on Lin.

    Yeah he does. That is why I think the game is really fast for him. Everything will slow down once he has an off season under his belt & a training camp with the team. I really am not worried. I would take Dmo & Trob any day over 2Patt & Mook.

    In unrealted news I love that Smith is playing really well. Ever since I saw him play early in the season I was really impressed by him. I love his hands & a Smith Asik front court is terrific. Lin can brick all the shots he wants, Greg & Omer will clean it up. I said this early in the season that McHale should consider Asik & Greg playing minutes together because those are two guys who can set screens & two guys that can finish really well.

    Because it is Orlando miss two important offensive rounds
    that lead to the foul time. If they make any one of them, thing
    will be totally different

    Yea, we didn't lose but the risk of losing was high, and that risk wasn't necessary given the gravity of this game's result. Next time we play that way, there's no guarantee that the cards will fall in our favour.
