    Let the inquisition begin. No stone must be left unturned. Children especially must be dealt with very harshly. We must stamp out this evil before it takes root and the minds of innocents are fertile ground.

    Ring the bells, raise the bridge. Gather all the townsfolk around the centre square.

    The stake is ready, there is plenty of firewood.

    All it takes is a few more of the true faith like yourself to gather up the heretics and then the cleansing can begin.

    Oh it will be so beautiful.

    There will be a public stoning a high noon.

    All jokes aside I do find it laughable how he came in saying he is a huge Rockets fan and supports all the players as the crux of his point and it was complete and utter bs.

    People here are ridiculous. Yes, Lin has done a great job recently but our PNR Defense and overall help defense were significantly better as well. You shouldn't hate on Bev for the lack of team D from earlier. I bet he can benefit from it as well.

    Still, props to Lin for stepping it up!

    Not anymore. It was a good plan until they Harden and Howard. It was a good plan then the big trades. They will be traded soon for sure.

    Lin is a pro athlete. He's tough. He's been playing ball most of his life. He doesn't get banged up more than anyone else who plays in a similarly aggressive style. Regardless, his health is for him to worry about, not you.

    Lin is staying on the Rockets. Quit being silly.

    Only Harden and Howard i am betting my house not to be traded. Rockets needs Lin coming from bench however the Rockets still looking for PF as 3rd star. Lin or Asik are their best bet getting one.

    Asik might be traded, but Lin isn't going anywhere.

    Morey will be watching out how strengthening one position would weaken another. He knows we need to keep a balance among all positions, both for the starting five and the bench.

    That's why he is not in a hurry to trade Asik, even more so for Lin.

    Ok, perhaps I was stretching it a bit by saying Love is a superstar, but he is undeniably the best PF in the game. I just don't find it fair how he gets all of this hate because he hasn't been to the playoffs, even though his supporting cast is, and has always been crap.

    Put Love on the Rockets, and I think he'd be the second, if not best player on this team.

    Lin will be traded once they have a lucrative offer.

    I am one of those Lin fans that doesn't care whether he starts or not as long as he gets his minutes, but if Rockets starts a winning streak, especially if we win tonight against Thunders, I don't want Bev back in the starting lineup.

    Just Asik may not be enough for an allstar.

    Me too, but with a caveat. Since Lin appears to play 4th quarter well, whenever the game is close going into 4th or Rockets is losing, Lin should be in 4th to give Rockets a better chance to win.

    I don't care that much if he starts but I like him with all of the starting unit except Harden sometimes. I think he needs to build chemistry with Dwight. That bullet pass Lin made to Dwight when he was deep underneath for the easy dunk is encouraging. That lob Lin tried to make when Dwight was double teamed shows they have a way to go. Dwight finding Lin for a big 3 in the 4th was encouraging. Lin looks great with Jones. Lin needs to move more off ball, cut more. Lin has to play the 4th, he stops thinking so much and imposes his will usually to good results.

    he's enough for an impact player which is all that is required.

    an all star would be nice, but a high value role player is good too.

    In 4 playoff games, Jeremy Lin has had 16 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 8 turnovers, total.


    While shooting 25% from the field, and 17% from three.

    I asked for a link confirming that any poster said JRue was a good player when Bev played him and then said JRue wasn't a good player when Lin played him. Maybe you should follow along a little better.

    Give me the link that shows one poster saying one thing then contradicting it. You're the second person making the claim without proof.
