    As good as Parsons and Harden were on the perimeter, Linbeverly wasn't get it done and they chose to defend the paint hard. Howard was a casualty.

    It's sad.

    You can't just say "Lin was way too wild out there tonight..." without getting a mob of reactions and accusations.

    You can trash every other player all night long, even Harden and Howard...but Lin? It'll always spiral into some mess.

    MRI tomorrow but by the looks of it and the fact that it was he hyper extended his elbow its deff. going to be a while. I hope he doesn't try to play too soon, will probably be in way too much pain anyways.

    I hyperextended my elbow earlier last year. It was so swollen I couldn't move it around for 2 wks.

    That was probably the best I've ever seen a player guard Dwight this season.

    Hopefully, we can bounce back quickly for the next game.

    THIS.

    Is exactly why McHale needs to start taking lessons from Coach Pop.

    I've never seen a player on this board get criticized more than lin..we hold the right to defend our players if they are held to different standards compared to the rest of the team. :grin:

    LOL. You obviously haven't been here long enough. I won't ever start with the players that make Lin's treatment look like royal palace massage and leaf waving.

    Honestly, this is a good loss if there's ever one. Back to back, foul trouble for Dwight and Harden, Parsons was terrible, and the Rockets were still one stop away from winning. Oh well, great block by O'Neal. We're now even Jermaine.

    Can I ask you a question? Why does it seems like every post you make is about Lin?

    Wow, how many people pissed in their pants again. Please, calm down. It was just one game that, by the way, the Rockets had in their hands. It was an awful shooting night for just about everybody and still the team got into overtime. It is difficult to come crispy to the game after the Laker game that was more like a walk in the park followed by nervous day waiting for the trade line close.

    The team is getting better all the time. I'd be very surprised if the Rockets missed home court advantage in the playoffs.

    Haha, perhaps. Hard to think of a more polarizing figure than Lin right now, though.

    Such hate on this forum. It's such a shame. If I didn't know better I would think Lin was on the opposing team. But it's typical and silly.

    Parsons was good on the perimeter? Volume shooter Parsons? Chandler not-so Bang? Chandler rejected by O'Neal on what would've clinched the game?

    Defensive rebounding was the issue tonight. TJones wasn't getting it done so to help out on the boards genius McHale brings in Casspi????? I would've much preferred to see Dmo in there, especially guarding David Lee who took TJones to school.

    You got me, he was 8 of 24, I fell asleep and woke up at the OT. Even Lebron gets rejected on some dunks, it happens. And yes Dmo deserved to get some burn....
