    It's hard to blame Morey if you understand how our current roster had to be constructed based on the salary cap rules.

    In order to be able to sign Dwight we had to strip our roster and then rely solely on vet min signings to fill in the rest of our spots. I guarantee he didn't look at our roster going into this season and think to himself this is good enough, but outside of an Asik trade there isn't a lot he can do as far as roster tinkering until the offseason when certain exceptions come into play. I fully expect him to make good use of our signing exceptions to add an important piece. Most likely a solid impact 2/3 guy who can spell either Harden or Parsons to lighten their minutes.

    It is always when he messes up! Even my wife notices it and she only watches for Parsons lol.

    Also another thing, harden always plays when the games are on national tv even when he's hurt. but a regular game he would sit out,

    Yep, he appears selfish on many levels.

    Sources?

    It's a pleasure having fans like yourself around. God bless Lin and his legion of followers.

    If Lin played like AB in the 2nd half with that stat line, he would of gotten yanked so fast it would not be funny. Good luck, Lin. You are going to need it.

    So I've seen plenty of games where Harden is sucking and having a bad half or game- so why does McHale refuse to sit him for the 4th?

    Yup, Morey needs to hit up the D league, they can't be any worse than Cas and Garcia.

    He made sure he got 3 more PGs while shifting the roster around. If he finds a trade for Lin & asik the team will then hopefully get some pieces

    Rockets win close game, Harden key in win.

    Result? Lin fans complaining about Lin's playing time and taking shots at Harden.

    Typical.

    Seems more like the Knicks losing the close game due to their bonehead mistakes than the Rockets winning it. No need for the concern, right?

    I was at the game and there was no reason to have lin sitting down when AB was stinking up the court. I like AB but he should have been subed out on his performance just like Lin. Lin first quarter was ballin.

    Block/ignore the irrational Lin fanboys.

    Simple and effective.
