Big Lin fan here, Westbrooks going to eat him alive if Lin doesn't play with any heart like he did when his team mates got traded.
Was that great game from him really because his teammates got traded? I thought the reason he played so well was because he had almost a week of rest while the other 2 games were off a back to back. Well rested Lin and tired Lin are like night and day.
I want Rockets to win. I don't care whether Westbrook is a superior player than Lin but I hope Lin trashs Westbrook in the playoff. Linsanity reborn with Rockets. GO ROCKETS!!!!!
Westbricks will go for 2-7 fgs then Lin gets benched and Westbricks goes for 40 pts for the game. Of course Mchale inserts Lin back in with under 4 mins left to play.
bev wont get a chance against the guy either maybe arron brooks will see some playing time cuz he has the most experience he needs to bring it for the playoffs!!!
When Westbrook makes Lin look like a child I don't want to here no BS excuses blaming McHale... If Lin is a positive factor it will show by his play. Westbrook beating him on the court has nothing to do with McHale.
Raphael's average in 3 games against us, 23 points! Surprise. lin's average 14.7/ 7 assists. Raphael, averaging 20 shots as a "point guard" by nature will win that matchup. Can't deny his talent to get to the line though. It's almost as good as harden, his ability to make it look like a foul.
maybe we all get surprised and McHell unleashes Lin finally in the Playoffs. Maybe he planned it all the way through to let Lin finally run the show come playoff time and used the season to work on his flaws. who knows. i doubt it though^^. Would take the Rockets to a whole new Level and opposing teams would have to change their gameplan to defending a whole time not just Harden Isos. doutb it though. think he gets yanked again after a good 3rd quater to sit for PatBev the whole 4th because we all know how good PatBev is. he hustles plays with energy and deferrs to everyone without thinking about it. oh and he gets offensive rebounds. that´s all you want from your PG right???LOL If McHell isnt extremely r****ded LIn/Westbrook will be a good matchup. have you seen Lins last play in the 2nd half against the Lakers? he didnt just run coast to coast unbelievably fast but his head was nearly at the rim lol... he is deceptivly athletic
Jeremy Lin needs to pull Kevin Mchale to the side in these next few days and DEMAND he play him 40+ minutes. Time for Lin to stop being the NICE guy and his real emotions out.
My feeling tells me that Lin will be in big trouble defensively. If he defends Westbrook little too aggressive, he will be in foul trouble early. If he loses Westbrook little bit, he will be yank out by coach with out hesitant. Only way to susscess for Lin is to play with heart. And not let anything anyone ruin his confident.
This is wishful thinking. In 2 MUST win games, he sat LIN for LONG stretches in the 3rd and 4th quarter. McFail has accomplished NOTHING as a coach anywhere. The simple fact is. HE JUST ISN'T VERY GOOD AS A HEAD COACH.
