Linsanity was him playing very well for a few weeks. I'm just saying when the going gets tough, Brooks and Bev don't back down from a fight. You can see it in the way they play. I havn't seen that fight out of Lin yet.
Lin knows he playing limit minutes so I expect him have turbo on. If he doesn't try to blow by Fisher, I really hope Coach M benches him quickly.
The answer is Yes. Anyone in a Rocket's uniform should score repeatedly and without conscience on Derek Fisher.
Bring him in off the bench, PLEASE! The combo of Bev and AB is much better as it stands right now, but Lin could contribute. Just don't want disruption of the current flow.
I've always said this would be his best role. If he's healthy then he can be effective as a 6th man. If he struggles then we can sit him down. Nothing to lose here
I can't account he number of times when Lin lit it up when Harden was out or sucking....when he's the main ball handler I haven't seen him back down at all. Today he'll have limited min....hopefully he'll play the pesky in your face PG that you're looking for...he should have no worried of getting fouled out with the limited min.
Should be fun to watch. I've always wanted to see Lin playing the 6th man role where I feel like he can do the most damage to the other team without damaging us in the process.
From the reaction here I would prefer JLin not to play tonight, for his own sake. If we win, it is the chemistry of the team and the continuation of the winning streak. Nothing to JLin. If we lose, we have JLin to thank to. A very strange situation.
glad to see jeremy back in the line up, i think he will be needed tonight. every player has to step up to beat this team. i think we should play him as the 6th man, or play him with the other guards. small ball will beat okc
He hasn't had a chance to after that game 1. You cant say he has no fight if he hasn't had the opportunity to
if jeremy is part of the rockets long term plans, than he has to be able to come back and perform. he needs this experience to be able to battle out of mental/physical blocks, and come out and perform. this will make him grow as a player, but if he cannot perform tonight than he needs to be sat for the sake of the team. but i would not be opposed to him coming off the bench. every game is different, he may come in handy. i think jeremy has trouble with lock down defensive teams such as OKC, because he doesnt really have a consistent jump shot. he either drives to the basket or shoots 3's, and it is tough to drive to the basket on OKC and if you arent hitting your three's then...
Its really great to see someone with a pre 2012 join date actually rooting for all the players on this team! Props to you my friend, wish the others would take note, GO ROCKETS!
