    Lin is a mediocre basketball player. More so than not, he is making mistakes rather than helping his team. Just deal with it.

    Price has career average of 3.4 points a game
    you want to compare Lin to him?

    They are the two point guards on the team. Who else does their coach have to put in there?

    My original point was, if Clutch is going to cherry pick bad plays, he should stick to that. The video would have been a little shorter but more valid.

    He's not cherry picking Jeremy Lin games dude. It was the Rockets opener.

    Duh. I said bad plays, not bad games.

    Why in the world would he want to sit through Lakers games to pick on Lin.

    Clutch just posted a video of last night's game (season opener) to show that Lin was a vital cog in the Rockets win. Probably the 3rd most influential player after Harden and TJ.

    If Clutch were to post a video of Lin's dumb plays, he might need a new server.

    I doubt Clutch makes videos of Lin's piss poor play against other teams. He can't be that bothered with a mediocre player

    This video highlights the truth - Lin was one of the main reasons Rockets won and further emphasizes reasons Rockets started Bev over him and needed to attach a 1st round pick to dump him. I dont think it was the racist Rox organization or Clutch or Morey or Mchale or Harden or Bev who marginalized Lin and held him back last night.

    those bad plays were good plays for the Rockets

    aren't you happy the Rockets won? I personally think they could have blown them out by 30 if Dwight had played a little better.

    If I recall correctly, the Harden montage wasn't created by LOFs. Hmmm. I can't remember who.

    But a full length video of Lin's turnovers would be oddly compelling viewing. He does bonehead very well on occasion.

    I was happy til that kid broke his leg. That put a bit of a damper on it.

    Dude has been in the league for awhile and he still plays uncontrollably. He rides on his emotions too much. Lin makes the Rockets look like the best defensive team in the NBA. Maybe they are?

    Nice editing of your original comment.

    Not so great analysis of the main reasons the Rockets won. Lin was a minor subplot on a bad team running a stupid offense.

    I was pretty unhappy for that kid. It sucked for him. That kind of thing takes the fun out of the victory, at least for me. I'll be happier next game.

    I assume you are trying to imply I'm rooting for Lin instead of the Rockets? Hey, I root for both of them, but Rockets first.

    Dude, I edited right away when I realized I wasn't sure who created the Harden video. Too bad you can't do that.

    One thing I know is that the Lin Fans made it go viral.

    Another thing I know is that Lin was one of the more instrumental guys in Rockets winning yday. Lakers went on 17-4 run from the half bringing it 66-59 and with possession. Lin went on to almost airball a lame 3 point attempt early in the shot clock. Harden ran away on the fast break and completed a 2 and 1. Game. Set. Match.

    I also know that Clutch has better things to do than create videos of Lin's piss poor ****ty play every time Lin has that (which is quite often).

    Why did it suck for him? He got a fair chance yday unlike in Houston right? He got to start (thanks to an injury) unlike in Houston right? It's all on him.

    You should feel unhappy for yourself. You cannot enjoy a great team victory because you're so emotionally and mentally attached to a mediocre player on a lottery team.

    Lin was hot garbage last night. He was simply horrible. We have seen that Jeremy all to often. He may go off for 36 points and 12 assists in some game soon but those spikes will no offset his lows.

    I am glad he is gone. He was not fun to cheer for.
