    lol. are you serious. Harden has pretty good amount assists right now, and he is moving the ball well. I have no problems with that. In fact I like this Harden. He is sharing the ball.

    I disagree with you. He is a major part of this team. He can be replaced, but as it is now, he is one of the core pieces of this team.

    Lin did 2 things against the Mavs.

    1. Miss shots
    2. Dribble 2 steps, pick up his dribble, pass it back out

    Played too many minutes, looked lost from the moment he stepped onto the court.

    That's fair. I frankly don't understand posters that say Lin is not a big part or key part of the team. What 13 games have they been watching? He's a major contributor to the team. He wasn't last night or in one of the Clippers games, but in the other games he most definitely was and with his abilities, will be for most Rockets games (and I assume he's a Rocket until he's not one, I'm not into trade speculation).

    Lin looked tired last night that is what I thought, nothing wrong with sitting him out if he was struggling.

    I don't have a problem with it. He was playing passive and that's not his role on the team. Maybe he was tired from the back-2-back or uninterested cause we were up big whenever the bench went in. Hopefully he will not have another game like it again.

    There is no stupid conspiracy theory. If you are a player like Lin and you don't play well, you get benched.

    Happens to the majority of NBA players - you freakin' Lin people just refuse to believe he is not as good of a player as you guys think he is.

    Yes Jeremy, stop picking up your dribble and you will be fine.

    Shortfuse is right for your name. He's been doing far less of that this season, in fact in the Celtics game the announcer said he was like Steve Nash in how he dribble penetrated and kept his dribble. He was out of sync this game, but he hasn't been picking up his dribble that much at all this season.

    Who cares? The success of the team does not require every single player to feel happy at all times.

    I like Lin, but the world does not revolve around him. Even Lin would agree, I'm sure.

    pretty obvious from last night, he was informed he would be part of a trade package with asik.
