I love Lin, always have but sad to say he will never be a consistent/good point guard. The reason he gets so much hate is because he gets paid way too much to put up numbers that reserves do for much less money. I loved his play during Linsanity but ever since his injury he hasn't looked the same.
The Rockets' passing is terrible - I'd rather see iso-ball than teammates throw the ball at each others feet and heads. HArden is particularly bad about this but Lin is almost as bad - it's like they're trying to one-up each other in finding ways to pass the ball anywhere but their teammates hands.
