Same here. Really nice to see him making 3s again. He just needs to learn to play at a calmer pace to avoid picking up a bunch of fouls.
Need to give huge props to the Rockets Bench. They were huge in blowing up the lead in the 3rd quarter.
First, the knock on Lin was that he was no good. Now that it's clear he's good and even Stephen A. Smith admits he's going to be really good eventually, the new knock is that he's "inconsistent". Inevitably, even that petty criticism will fade from peoples' lips, and we'll all be better for it. Yesterday, Chris Paul apparently proved his inconsistency as Tony Parker destroyed him.
It's one thing when there is incompetent officiating on both sides and you see both coaches and players from both teams complaining, but tonight the refs were so blatantly one-sided it reminds me why I distrust Stern and his goons. Something was afoot tonight guys, where's Bob Lanier's wife when you need her?
The Nets are one of the best defensive team in the EAST. ROX can't score 120pts on them. What wrong if LIn couldn't score more?
Even with a win, the Lin haters find a way smash him. If your a Rockets fan, shouldn't you be talking about Harden and Delfino?
Delfino was Star of the Game in many ways. Harden? He's just your every day Superstar. Listen, I have had doubts about Lin also, but frankly he carried the team in many stretches tonight in the middle of the game with an incredible display of superior point guard plays. His passing and set ups made some easy baskets and created a flow that is just so important. I was impressed. Our back court is a very interesting combination of talents. After 1/2 a year. Morey you have struck gold.

How about this rule...if we win by 10 or more points, on the Road, against a quality opponent, every player on the team should be spared criticism for that one night? Fair enough?
