    The owner of the Mavs. said he thought he could be another Steve Nash.

    It's not that bearable when he's playing poorly either.

    Unfortunately Lin is polarizing and neither side can resist taking cheap shots one way or the other.. Still, that's not Lin's fault. He tries his best and for the most part helps the Rockets win games.

    Can't complain too much about that.

    And I hope Sampson and McHale learned tonight you can't go by that. He wasn't horrible the 1st quarter, he was good. He had a bad 2nd and not good 3rd then he went to work in the 4th

    Nice to see the team grind out a game on a b2b. The Grizz makes other teams play the slow down grind it out type of game.

    I highly doubt Brooks would have been back in the game.

    Even D-Mo was struggling early on but McHale left him in the game, and Howard never came back in the game.

    McHale isn't evil and he doesn't sacrifice wins on this team just to spite Lin.

    Great 4th quarter comeback, and like a few others have said, props to TJones for a big contribution, and to Harden for getting to the line so many times. These last two games have made for an amazing Christmas!

    He's more like Iverson on his impressive ability to getting into the rim.

    Except that he doesnt get call that he deserves.

    Tough road ahead for this kid.

    Remember how terrible we were at B2B's last year? It's mind boggling how that's change. Also, are there highlights out yet, I would love to watch them show all of Harden's 23 FT's just to record the facial expressions of the Grizzlies.

    dude, you didn't follow the Mavs like I did when Nash was just brought over. Mavs fans were about to ride him and Dirk out of town. they had issues with his contract also.

    it took dirk/nash/finley trio to start playing well together for them to all succeed.

    6/6 tonight, but under 80% for the season and career. For someone who drives to the rim and gets whacked all the time, he needs to improve his FT% to benefit from it, or at least makethe defense think twice before whacking him.

    Having said that, he doesn't usually get calls unless he's bleeding or fouled really hard so I think a lot of time he's shaken up. He doesn't miss a technical free throw.

    You just gotta **** on those people who ... hang on :grin:

    If it's good for the Rockets, I think all true Rocket fans can allow themselves to be wrong.
