    He's not being used that much at all. I know he's struggling to score but hope his usage isn't going to be a trend...

    why is Lin afraid to shoot an outside jumper?

    he's forcing everything inside. he's been like this the entire preseason. when he was with the knicks he was not afraid to shoot perimeter jump shots.

    all of a sudden with houston, he's afraid to shoot.

    wtf?

    If the Rockets Play D, Penetrate, Pass, Rebound, and Score like this against Elite teams this season, they will be real Fun to Watch :cool:

    Lin can't shoot at all it seems. Always driving crazily into the lane even when he's open for a shot.

    I hope Delfino will play better than this. Why'd we get him? Veteran leadership? I'd'a rather picked up Grant Hill if we needed a role model so badly.

    What's up with the rotation? I thought McHale wanted to run and rotate quicker?

    Lin's getting no calls. He should quite a few FT pts.

    Wonder what happen to his shot over summer. only 1-7 FG. Maybe he adjusting to create more by design so his rhythm is off

    His shots were not falling, so he is being aggressive attacking the basket. Nothing wrong with that.

    smh. if Lin takes jumpers who is going to penetrate and find shooters? he's playing great D and penetrating. that's why we were up so big in the 3rd quarter.
