What is wrong with the internet right now? Has it always been like this? How was it pre-AOL dial-up days?
I think he got pissed about being yanked for playing poor D by trying to steal resulting in a dunk and then a quick unnecessarily 3, and then missed a layup and turnovers. He did not play well in the 1st Half and he was benched in favor of Aaron Brooks for a brief moment. And he probably got yelled at as he head to the bench but i don't know...i know McHale was mad at that moment. Then he contributes to the win in the 2nd Half and basically feel he should be vindicated. He probably feel unjustly benched and should be giving more chances.
I've never really seen Lin really happy on court except for during Linsanity. Every game during that stretch Lin was borderline cocky on the court, sticking his tounge out, nodding, screaming, etc. and he had great chemistry with Fields and Chandler. He's lost a lot of that swag/confidence while being on the Rockets, and I think much of it has to do with McHale's lack of trust in him, his short leash, losing his starting job and his role/minutes being jerked around as well as constantly being the team scapegoat.
Maybe the realized that the game was given to the Team by the refs. I am rooting for the rockets but some of the calls Harden get are obvious gifts.
