    thank goodness the rockets come up against a dumber team.

    clutch FT from AB, but was his defense that much better than Lin's in the 4th to keep him out there the whole 4th?

    the rebounds, man...

    Harden had a TREMENDOUS stat line, but why do I feel he almost cost us the game?

    So thankful for the win.

    LOL....haha...Brooks was pretty much useless but he came up big with that foul and won the game for Houston. McHale sure has some serious issues with Howard and Lin....

    Now a days, I cringe when other team misses a shot. We're not getting defensive rebounding.

    The Knicks aren't really a bottom feeder team, the only reason they have that record is because they were dealing with a LOT of injuries. The Knicks also beat the Spurs last night in San Antonio.

    He's reverting back to his bad habit of ball watching and drifting off from his man again tonight.

    AB shooted 1/8 and Lin had good record in 4th quarter.

    McHale should trust Lin more.

    Don't be stupid, benching Lin was maybe the only thing McHale did right in this whole game.

    the fact that chandler and harden both played 44 minutes again.. Our rotation is terrible.

    Beno kept beating him off the dribble and brooks was quick enough to stay with him. You guys to busy being fanboys while the team gets the win

    I disagree. If you want to develop Lin, you must put him in. This is how he'd learn. If he continues to be bad, then you bench him.

    Its one of the great mysteries that will never be solved.

    Great that we won but we lucked out.

    There are just so many flaws with our offensive sets and minutes management of our players.

    Making our star player play the whole second half is just asking for trouble.

    Come on, even then to bench him for the entire 4th quarter? Its not like AB was playing stellar defense.

    He committed two fouls early that helped put us in the penalty early. And he wasn't exactly a lock down defense.

    Knicks gave us this game, if not the loss is on McHale. Garcia played almost the entire fourth. I mean why? Just cause he hit one three pointer?

    Man though we shouldn't have struggled this much against a team coming from a back to back with us having 3 days rest. I don't know what, but something needs to change.

    Not for nothing, Lin was getting screened. They were not communicating out there. It wasn't something you bench the kid for, especially to go with a guy who is 1-8 and not doing much of anything.
