    Really? I have LP and when I checked the NBA games list, it only showed 2 channels broadcasting the Rox/Jazz game, and both of them had the crappy commentators.

    I'm not a LOF. But seriously, does this poor kid have to prove that he can play against the best pgs in the league and earn his starting spot game by game? Has he not played for 82 games last season?

    I'm still not convinced that Lin is a lesser fit with the starters, considering the fact the he had played with most of them in the past season. Basketball is not just merely stats; it's also about team chemistry. I think Morey and the coaching staff are believing into their stats a little too much and neglecting the other human factors. Rockets are lucky because the guard they decide to bench is Lin. If it happens to another guy, it's going to create some locker room issues for sure.


    I thought Lin has played well defensively in the past two games and has the incredible ability to score and attack the rim at will. Just that sometimes he gambles a bit too much but that's also the fun part to watch or to condemn :grin:

    I see no conflicts for Lin to start and lead the 2nd unit. Unless Rockets have decided to dump Lin's contract, this benching thing is not a good strategic move at all, be it for basketball or for business reasons.

    Yes it does. You get mobile and broadband when you buy with cable. You just have to link the account.

    Broadband allows you to pick your broadcast.

    FU Utah Jazz!!! You effing suck! Somebody better pull a daryl morey and sign Gordon Hayward away from that piece of stink!! Great 2nd half, Rockets!! But that freaking ugly 1st, I want to burn away from my memory. I'm still semi-annoyed we let the Jazz punk us around for two freaking quarters!! And we couldn't catch a rebound break anywhere! Argh!

    There's my rant for the night. I know we won, but still, how could we play like cr@p and gave the Jazz any type of satisfaction in the 1st half! Damn! I effing hate the Jazz!!!

    Don't know about international LP, but you can try it with the archived games to see.

    trust me, i want lin to start, but mchale may have a different philosophy. I don't think bev is a better defender, he's just a better on ball defender but not by much. and lin is a better help defender. so i think that evens out. What lin is better at is playmaking and creating his own shots. Harden also plays more efficient with lin in the lineup.

    The real stuff starts now. The Clippers are elite and the Blazers who beat the heck out of Denver by almost 30 and easily beat the Spurs tonight are the real deal. Two massive back to back games.Dwight and Griffin will be interesting because both are athletic but Griffin is far more agile. Jordan and Asik will cancel eachother out.

    Key will be how do we limit paul who is doing a great job finding guys like Reddick and getting his own offense going.

    That's exactly why Lin should start and get better chemistry with JH. It'd benefit both JH and Lin. In some sense, Harden is so good that JH next to him is more like a luxus, while JH and Lin might truly develop something JH and Nelson did in Orlando.
    I only watched the last 4 min and saw the last TO by Lin, where he didn't figure out a way to make a play with JH. He still needs to learn to harness his dribble for the play to evolve the way Nash, Rondo and Paul do.

    They have Crawford, Reddick, Barnes, Dudley and a few more great shooters. Plus he'll just lob it to Griffin. The key is to limit Paul but if you try to double him to much they are loaded with scorers who will take full advantage. You cant stop him like you cant stop LBJ, Harden or Durant, but the best is to try to limit him.
