    You do know that Rondo can't shoot, right? Career 24% from 3's and 62% from the charity stripe. You'll need 2 basketballs to play Rondo and Harden together.

    Let's get the fact straight: Reggie scored 15 of his 23 when AB is on the court. Would you mind explain what evidence you have to support that Lin struggled against Reggie.

    Who had a hand in Lin's uninspired, turd of a performance against a back up point guard? Is that McHale's fault or Brooks's fault or maybe the beer vendor's fault?

    All you can do is laugh. Anyway I'm pretty sure that Asians that actually watch basketball either voted for Chris Paul, someone on their favorite team or just didn't vote at all.

    It was Lin's fault. He was playing with a lack of confidence and it showed. However, Lin didn't lose to only Reggie Jackson... the entire opposing team was doing a very good job of putting pressure and limiting drives / guard penetration.
    Also, Reggie scored most of his points on AB (from what I could see)

    I still don't believe that Lin should get the starting position though. Lin caves in to added pressure too often... starts making bad decisions, loses his aggression. Plus, he is better suited leading the 2nd team than Beverley.

    I LUV EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DEAL!!!

    We need to ask ourselves as fans, "Do Alexander and/or Morey want to win a Championship or Make Money?" If they want to win a Championship, you make this trade all day everyday and then on Sunday but if not, we know it's about money.

    Rondo is a leader, a floor general, and he has been to the Championship, Conference finals, played with future HOF's and to top it off, he's only 28!! That trade would be a steal.

    But where ever Lin goes, there will be a large following, which equals money!

    I think by the trade deadline, we will have our answer

    Really? Of all the things to take away from the game, you choose Lin??

    At around the 8 minute mark of 3Q when AB subbed for Lin, the Rockets still had a 10 point lead. Lin was kept out for the next 12 minutes, and during those 12 minutes, there was an 18 point swing.

    Lin was put back in with only 4 minutes left in the game, the Thunder leading by 8, the Rockets in disarray, and Lin being totally cold from having sat for 12 minutes.

    But yeah, that second half was definitely Lin's fault.:rolleyes:

    Unlike Harden, everyone is to blame for Lin's play except Lin. When Harden plays like a turd, Harden gets the heat for it. WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

    In fact, I started a thread to talk about Harden's play where I lay the blame on Harden. Not McHale, not Casspi, not Lin, not Howard, or Morey, or Clutch the bear but Harden.

    Charlie Rosen was on the radio stating that Reggie Jackson was going through Lin like a stadium turnstile.

    Nope in fact I expressly said despite the loss I chuckled about it. I can quote myself if you need me to but carry on with the McHale froze Jeremy Lin thing. It's always someone else putting the chains on Jeremy Lin.

    Howard, Rondo, Jones all in the game at crunch time in the 4th quarter, what could possibly go wrong.... Oops looks like someone was fouled and going to the line, game over, Rockets lose.

    Got it. I missed your earlier posts, and thread about Harden.

    Not saying that Jeremy doesn't deserve the blame sometimes, this game is just not one of them.
