    Yah, I think Regression or Real is going to be a real discussion for the rest of the season. :grin:

    This will be a battle between the two leading PPS guards in the NBA between Lin and Matthews.

    he'll be worn down offensively by having to guard harden, so no, he won't be going off on rockets.

    Last time we won against the Blazers, both Lin and Asik were starters. That isn't the case anymore.

    Bro if Sampson is the Coach while McHale is out Jeremy might not even be on the floor after the 3rd quater. If you'll remember Sampson was the first to start Benching Lin in the 4th last year. Benching him in favor of TONY DOUGLAS. Lol. Lin just might wanna wait until McHale gets back. Sampson leash on Lin is decent shorter than Mchale. He'll be lunch to see 20 minutes.

    Anybody wanna take the over or under that Lin see less than 21 minutes?

    Quick! Let's trade with GSW and get TD back. We can get it done before the Portland game.

    He was shooting like 35 fg and 29 3pt at that time. That was when he was awful.

    Lin fans are preparing for Lin to sit. Have you ever thought that it may be smart to limit his minutes due to the type of injury he had with 2 point guards playing pretty well. Lin has a history of knee injuries. We have the luxury to slowly bring Lin back up to his usually work load.

    When Lin is 100% we are a better team.

    History of knee injuries? He's had one major one, and that was the meniscus tear he suffered back when he was in NY. And then ofc the Grade 1 contusion he just suffered. Don't exaggerate lol.

    Pretty crazy we've played twice @ POR and Utah without playing either once @ HOU.

    Asik is better than anyone in stopping Aldridge. Let's see if Howard and Jones can do enough to stop him in Asik's absence.

    Regarding Sampson's short leash on Lin, I would say it is more tough love than anything else. Lin doesn't listen to Mchale that much but he definitely pays attention to Sampson.
