    Happy about the win, but we're too soft.

    Man, how good is vucuvic?

    DMo has a long way to go defensively. Still don't want to comment on Robinson. Lin had a bad game. Harden has no lift on his shot tonight. Beverly is an excellent backup. Parsons is so underrated. Should have continued to go to Asik in the 2nd half, especially wile we were in th bonus. Small ball worked tonight and Delfino showed he was more than a shooter.

    Good win! Wish we wouldn't make it so hard on ourselves by letting teams back in the game with poor defense.

    It should be unbearable for old members to follow game threads. Wow guys, Rockets win and all you talking about Lin being benched in 4th quarter (with him being injured and Bev having good game).

    if he thinks that then he's an effing idiot. that's almost as r****ded as saying the quarterback isn't an important position in football because that's the PG is he is the quarterback of the team. I can understand why Lowry demanded to be traded but if rockets were smart they would have canned McHale's ass a long time ago.

    Harden is a star and doesn't have an effective backup.

    Is Lin still playing for the Rockets? I thought so. So why are some of you guys so bent out of shape when he continues to be the most popular player at CF? :confused:

    hahaha.. so true. well, with the way things are and how lin is expected to play, we'll see plenty of 1 and 2. he won't play up to fans' expectations unless he shoots more than 15 times a game. and he doesn't have the green light to do so and it's not his role, so we won't see that again.

    I'm optimistic about D-mo's offense though. He made some mistakes here and there but his post moves are getting slicker each game.

    TRob is obviously still a work in progress. I give him a few more games with limited minutes to gell in.

    For the entire 4th quarter?

    I recall Asik got benched once the entire 4th quarter. This must be the second game Lin get benched the entire 4th quarter. I don't recall any game that Parsons was benched the entire 4th quarter.

    We got a lot of problem in this team, but ONE thing in particular I saw was that we get FAKED Out way too easily!!!

    McHale always find an excuse to bench Lin, always. Douglas, now Beverly. You never see Harden or hardly Parson gets benched - even if they are not doing well, Mchale still let them close out games.

    I guess we all know by now, Mchale is setting Lin up to fail, simple as that. I guess it is a way for him to stick it to management for getting Lin.

    That too, but least they made a good decision in the 4th quarter to get the win.

    Wow, can't believe at some times we were even in danger of not winning this game. What happened to all those blow-outs? Are we unable to produce them any more from now on? :(

    By the way, the contrast between the trust that McHale put on T-Rob and trust he put on his starting PG is truly amazing. :rolleyes:
