    I don't expect Flynn to get any minutes let alone Lin if he makes the team.

    Lowry, Dragic, Martin, Lee, T-will, that's 5....we're not running a 6 man guard rotation on a regular basis.

    Lin has a spot in this league though.

    well, not prejudice in Houston per say. In fact it shows you what a classy organization Houston is by picking Jeremy off waivers. But if you've read articles on Jeremy Lin, you can see he was dismissed a lot, despite the fact he was a great player, both in high school and college. He was basically one of the top high school players in California and didn't get any looks at all from traditional NCAA establishments.

    Lin defense is quite good.....the steal and block stats last season didn't lie
    besides....he is fast and able to handle the ball very well

    can we buy out Flynn.....?

    I've been watching Lin since his high school days at Palo Alto high and he's been doing this type of stuff his whole career. Dude is extremely clutch.

    BTW, I rewatched that last shot 100 times and Dragic was murdered. Its a preseason game, so it doesn't really matter

    Oh for sure, but that tends to happen in all sports with guys who just show potential,which is exactly why Flynn was drafted where he was when clearly as a basketball player Lin is all around better.

    I really hope Jordan isn't just teasing us again...really like his aggressiveness these first two games.

    Well then I guess we can mark it as a W since it doesn't really matter

    Really liked what I saw from J Hill, T Will, and Twin. Buddinger needs to be careful.

    Flynn DRIBBLED OUT the clock every time he had the ball then passes it to Morris or someone else for a last second shot. THAT is NOT good basketball. Dragic has 10000000x the brains Flynn has in terms of running a offense.

    Flynn is more of a pure PG whereas Dragic is more of a hybrid. They have two totally different games but Dragic is more of a game changer in my opinion.

    I agree, look at Morris' first game, 0/3 and now he shows up as leading scorer today.

    It looked like it was his first basketball game evah!!:rolleyes: He took a nice charge but other than that he looked lost IMO. Saw more potential and flash in Jeff Adrien.
