Lin should be banned from playing in the last min of each quarter

 

Awesome McHale. Bring in Harden just to shot that crap. Team is rolling without him. Keep that flow going.

 

Would love to see our best 3 point shooter by a mile - utilised to take a shot there instead of a James Harden walk up shot.

Of course, it would be too difficult for McHale to comprehend something other than that play.

 

The few times he's had the ball they've been pressuring him hard, trying to prove a point, and he doesn't want to deal with it, dumps it off right away.

His mere presence out there has noticeably kept Batum from helping on the Lin drives though, so he's done his job.

 

Lin plays great when he is calm and composed. However, during crunch time he is a panicky chicken with his head cut off.

 

Slow-mo'ing Lin's fail at 1/16 second speed. Hilarious.

 

That says it all right there.

 

What impressed me most was Lin not fouling on that last turnover.

 

How did they credit Matthews with 2 blocks??

 

And if he misses those shots, CF be like "WHY DID HE SHOOT THOSE?"

Lin can't win.

 

If Harden was able to step it up like a true star, this series wouldn't be so close. The teams playing well but need their superstar to lead. Luckily he still has time to grow into that role

 

Agreed, Troy's playing somewhat a "Decoy" role.

 

Lin just needs to handle the ball more.

 

I'm glad they let Mo have it but they need to let it go and win the game. Bev getting in his face to end the quarter is stupid. If they win the fight and lose the game they lose.

 

I pray that Jeremy has a great game.

I also pray that McHale takes him out in the final quarter.

 

3-1 hole and the last play of the quarter continues being the Harden iso three...

 

Anybody else sick of every single other team getting a top 10 highlights package in the game breaks on League Pass except for the Rockets.

Currently watching Steph Curry's top 10 assists. They have Blake's top 10 dunks. How about Dwight's top 10 alley oops?

The Rockets get absolutely no love from the NBA.

 

agreed. lin does not look happy to be cheering yet. i think he knows that it was his fault that they are in this position. go rockets and play hard!

 

I don't think Lin's release is quick enough for those.

 

Bad TO by Lin, but has not negated all the good he's done so far. Dude is playing like his life is on the line and I like it. We are desperate. There should be emotion being emulated in all of our guys face. This is our home court and we got to let the trailblazers know they're not escaping this court with the win.
