    If lin is healthy next game make him the official sixth man for the rest of this series. If bev keeps this up as PG and our bigs smith/asik continue to battle, this will be a 6 game series.

    Yet I'm sure you would gladly give Beverley that money right now for an even smaller sample size.

    Lin's getting paid what an avg PG gets paid. He's sure as hell better than Mo Williams, and they make about the same amount.

    I think we should incorporate Anderson and jones instead of Garcia or delfino guarding durant.

    3-guard starters is very good for the Rockets. They were able to play fast. They should keep it up Game 3 or this series is over.

    Why would they be happy? Everyone knows Lin has had a good year and its not like he's losing his starting spot judt because some people clutchfans think so. Im a lin fan and I'm really upset about this game, especially cause we could've stole it. But yea, the more we win the better the chance we get past the first round which would mean Lin would get to play more. I honestly dont know why any Lin fan would be happy about this

    Very impressed by Beverly, wonder what kind of contract he is on, he will earn much more when he can sign a new one:cool:

    It was a good game. We could've definitely used Lin at the end there. Tired legs in both Harden and Bev, likely also caused them to have a couple mental lapses at the end there.

    WTF is up with Delfino? I know he was injured for awhile, but his shooting stroke has been off since the whole Manu Sausage fiasco...

    Game ball to Beverley and Harden. Harden even though he didn't shoot at a high % got his groove back in the endgame.

    Asik should be making dunks earlier in the game (not just in the 4th) and we need to get out 3ball going. More PT for AB/Anderson to get them in rhythm. Gotta to expand that guard rotation. Maybe use TJones a bit

    Applause for everyone, even McHale (my last dig ... should have used AB in the reg season bec we need him now)

    How long do we have Beverley for? Is it this year, next year, then a team option for the third year?

    We should be proud of the effort that our guys gave. Bev played great,but we did miss Lin.
    The Lin/Harden war must end on the boards. We need to be at full strength.
    Go Houston Rockets!

    He hit one crucial shot. More like the averages catching up. He was 3/14 in his previous 17. It was only a matter of time before he hit the next shot, making it 4/15 in his last 15 shots.

    When I watched Beverley get under Westbrook's skin, it gave me hope for the series... unfortunately, OKC pulling this one out puts the Rockets in a big hole.

    Hell of an effort though. I can't even be upset about this loss.

    Only way to out hustle OKC....their bigs, especially Obaka, is too much for Houston's big. Lin and Bev evens out the pace for Houston due to their quickness.....

    I know it's cliche but srsly, this loss was a tremendous moral WIN.

    I was expecting to see some improvement from the 1st game to this one but not to this extent!! :cool:

    Defense was great. JLin and Greg picked it up big from last game. Whole team had a little swag going. Bevs the GOD getting under Westbrook's skin was awesome :p
    What's the status on JLin? Probably some broken ribs from all those charges lol .. :( Hope he's ready to go for next game. Carlos just doesn't cut it out there. He's just been hot poopoo since hurting his elbow.:(

    BTW Miniature-Ball FTW!
