    Honestly, I believe that would have been the case. I want to root for Lin, but it's real hard to.

    Yeah, Westbrook as important to OKC as Chris Paul is to Clippers.
    Still very proud of the Rockets tonight!

    I do.

    With your logic, a team should trade players every few games depending on their performances of that period.

    That been said, Lin needs to seriously ponder what his position is in this league and how to improve his game this off-season. The least he needs to do is traveling and doing interviews/speeches.

    Bev's like the reverse of Lin. racks up the rebounds, but only gets 1 or 2 assists as opposed to Lin who gets the dimes but only gets 1 or 2 boards. i guess in the playoffs, there are enough playmakers at multiple positions for the Rockets that rebounding becomes more important. too bad for Lin. he needs to improve his rebounding over the offseason. in college he was at least decent in the category. who knows what happened.

    Royce needs to STFU :mad: Twitter people go on and apologise to KD. We don't need to motivate them :(

    Nothing against Lin's game but we can't play him for the rest of this series whether he is healthy or not. It's just not fair for the rest of these guys who have fought to get us back into this series.

    Can't change the lineup. Beverley has to start next game.

    While I certainly have criticised Lin before, It's a little easier to defend OKC at the point guard when it's Reggie Jackson or Derek Fisher, than when it's Russell Westbrook.

    It's like the **** where Harden being guarded by Sefelosha is inferior to Curry being defended by Ty Lawson (or quite often nobody with the breakdowns Denver are executing)

    Yeap! Find another team with 4 PGs as good as our current 4 (yes, i'm counting Harden as a PG too). I hope we re-sign AB0.
