Wow, Lin was plus-25, highest on the team. There were times tonight when Charlotte made the Griz look like a D-league team.
Lin helped the Rockets finally get back into the playoffs two straight years after 3 straigth near misses before he joined the team. Lin has played better then most backup guards this season. The backup guards for the rockets is much more horrible than lin this season.
From NBA.com STRONG BENCH PLAY Lin and Lamb entered the game with a combined average of 22.4 points a game - the best bench combination in the Eastern Conference. They combined for 26 points against Memphis.
You can't be serious... A guy called James Harden was the reason we were in the playoffs. Maybe you heard of him? Of course Lin is better than most backups. He is a borderline starter. His inconsistency and random lapses of utter stupidity however is what makes him swing from scrub to good in the same game.
Tough times for the people that want to ridicule Lin and also laughed about him joining the "terrible" Hornets.
Except that Lin built most of his stats during the first half...first got into the game with the Hornets trailing by 10, turning it around to a 5 pt lead by halftime. At the half, Lin led the Hornets in scoring.
