    Did you see the end of the 1st OT where Parsons had Rudy Gay at the top of the key pump faking three times on a 3-pointer with the Rockets up 3 and just under 3 seconds left and DIDN'T foul him intentionally? Instead, Parsons allowed Gay to shoot the shot(it was contested, but he still got it off), it went in, and we were forced to sweat out a 2nd OT.

    That's entirely on McHale. Yes, Parsons had 5 fouls, but the only reason he wouldn't have fouled intentionally is if the coach told the team not to in the huddle.

    Couldn't watch the game. Just saw the box score. Lin did amazing but it look likes Howard was the leading man. He had amazing stats all around tonight.

    I still don't understand how this game was remotely close when all the starters and Lin all had above average games.

    Maybe it is Toronto's defense, but Lin didn't trap himself on the dribble this game.

    TJones was awesome too. Wanted a Sergibaka on this team, and TJones may well be that guy.

    Lin was getting fatigued, his defense was shakier than it'd been the entire night.

    And it looked like Jeremy played SG tonight and Harden was the main PG LOL. GG

    We missed something like 18 free throws and our offensive execution late in the game was p-sspoor. Lin really saved the Rockets tonight.

    Bwaaah. You just noticed that this game? The Rockets scoring officials haven't been nice to Lin EVER. Go check out some of last year's games. Nothing new here.

    Are Lin fans incapable of watching a good Lin performance without taking a massive **** on half the Rockets organization?

    23 turnovers by the Rockets, which helped Toronto to put up 30 more FG attempts than Houston.

    Just stop it. Nobody can take credit away from Lin tonight. Mentioning 0 assist is not really blaming on him or anything. It was funny because DH2 got 2 while Lin + PB had 0.

    Lin played very well with both scoring and defense, except for a few bad decisions caused TOs.

    Howard was huge in the first half and on boards, while Harden's 10 dimes helped too.

    Don't be over-sensitive.

    Raptors had 7 more offensive rbs, 10 less TOs, and we missed 20 fts and shot 27% from 3s.

    There are a few Lin fans like that. But why didn't you just ignore him?
