    IMO Lin actually seems to realize his position/future with the Rockets and has given up mentally. Both the Rockets and Lin look like they are waiting to part away from each other when time is up. Indeed it seems to be the way it is going. Lin is a non-factor in the Rockets.

    Harden is such a big time 4th Q player. He looks completely different late in the game.

    Truly can't believe that there were some fans who wanted Lin to be our closer ahead of James freaking Harden

    Jones is such a good slasher! He is almost like a stretch four because of the fact he can put the ball on the floor and hit an occasional three.

    Our bench seems lost out there. There's nobody who can actually create offense when Lin is playing this poorly. Still think it's just a slump, but I sure hope he rights the ship before the playoffs.

    Hindsight is always 20/20, you rooted for him when he was actually playing well. How times have changed

    Man, stop the hate on Lin. Dude is playing injured…if anything coaching staff shouldn't be playing him when he's not right.

    Is there any other way to get a three-point play than the old-fashioned way? Is a 3-point shot the "other" way?

    Did you see Lin going back to the bench with his head looking down not even touching hands w/ the starters coming back in?? That's the demeanor you don't want to see out of your players....it's called 'lack of confidence." That's one thing i hate about him. He lacks confidence.

    What about his next contract? Does he want a payday again? Or is he satisfied with the money he made so far, for life?

    Dude just sucks, Linsanity was a fluke and that's that. Has 1 descent game followed by 15 horrible one's.

    Mchale smartly made the sub... good. Lin is killing that second unit. A better point guard would make a huge difference.

    If this is the case, then the Rockets should just bench Lin and give his minutes to Canaan.

    Wow, as if we needed any more proof that our bench sucks. I have no
    idea how they are in the positives in +/-

    This is a major liability, the starters are getting less rest every night as the bench
    cannot score - at all.
