    If Lin were on the Suns they'd be nearing records for all-time loss in a single season. If Lin were on this rockets team they'd have 1st round in playoffs with home round advantage.

    Brooks has played in this system before, he was playing at an AS level before he got hurt. And its not like that was a long time ago and he's old now, it was 3 years ago and he's just 28 ( i think)

    Some good points, but Harden is definitely not selfish.

    Mchale really needs to adjust here down the stretch... he's pushing them to run too much so the team doesn't have the same spark and energy in the back end of back to backs and within the games they don't have energy to exert on defense.. I suggest he slow the game down a little bit even though it's contrary to what his philosophy is for the sake of preserving these guys for the home stretch.

    Should Tim Ohlbrecht get some run at backup Center over Greg Smith? It seems that whenever Smith comes in the game, our energy level just plummets. Robinson has some *RAW* abilities, but we just seem so out of sorts when Asik goes out.

    I don't think dragic as of now is a much more superior player than Lin is, if you watched the entire game you will know Lin actually owned him except for the fourth quarter when every rockets excluding Harden suck as hell. dragic had a few good moves in the fourth with Lin deep in foul troubles though

    He's too confident in his ability to draw foul on that 1 vs 3 fast break, when Delfino (or was it Garcia) was at the wing waiting for 3.

    Lin isn't that good. Harden is our star. Lin was simply a marketing move and fans like you are paying for his contract and some. Which is why Les allowed it to begin with.

    Some of you people are acting like the Rockets are the only team the Suns have beaten this season. Losses are going to happen - back-to-backs on the road makes it even more difficult. Freaking chill, people.

    Agreed, LIn was signed so Les could get more play with his Chinese investments that started when Yao was here. The truth is he's not an NBA starter, maybe a backup, likely a D leaguer. Should play in China actually, make good coin and still draw attention.

    Dragic doesnt suck but he doesnt make anyone better. His teammates get frustrated half the time cause he never passes them the ball so the coaching staff now plays Marshalll at point half the time and move Dragic to the 2.
