    If we lose "some of the next 5 games" then it should be seen as disappointing. What exactly is our goal this year? To make the playoffs and get bounced in the first round? GS just went 6-1 and all the games were on the road. Pretty sure the last 5 were in 7 days but could have been 8. Either way, Losing to OKC is fine, but considering we've had enough crappy performances, losing to Washington, Boston, Atlanta without Horford or New Orleans without Ryan Andersen should be unacceptable.

    Either you're trying to incite Lin fans or you have a lack of basketball knowledge ..
    Lin has shut down numbers a bunch of times against opposing PG's.
    How did Marshall do last night???

    Marshall? The guy that got cut by the suns the year after he was drafted in the first round? How impressive.

    A win by any other name is still a win.

    We have road work to do so lets get on it.

    Jeremy did his job, that's the point...he did it against Parker and Conley and few others too...but keep hating THAT'S impressive.

    Have you seen how the kid has been playing? This is no the Kendall Marshall from the Suns. Since he became starter the 3 games heading into yesterday he was averaging about 16ppg, 13 assists.

    LOL, Tracy Mac you obviously don't watch many Rocket games. Forgot the 1st game of the year? Kemba Walker scored 6-8 quick points on Bev...then Bev left the floor, never came back, and he ended the game with 12 points.

    Lin fouls people at the basket? LOL Bev is the king of overaggressive fouls, unnecessary fouls, that's why he's top 10 among PGs in fouls per game.

    Stop contradicting yourself, how can you be ball watching and so bad at defense, but still at the same time be right by your man to commit fouls at the basket?

    Lin didn't have a good game, only harden did so let's leave it at that. Rockets own and everybody needs to stop bickering.

    That being said it doesn't change the fact the team still has major flaws.

    With only 5 PTS (on 2-13 and 1-6 shooting) and 8 ASTs, KM was surely below average last night. Sorry his trend got broken.

    what most people on here did not know is that , in the second half the rockets coaches adjust the defense and hide harden on defense and put lin in position to shut down nick young and other lakers guards.

    It really cuts you deep when Harden goes off and Lin struggles doesn't it?

    Just have to try to make an amazing performance look not as good and on the flip side twist Lins rough performance into some kind positive.

    To each his own I guess.

    Hope Lin finds his shot soon, we are going to need him when Harden cools off.

    Well, if you start like that what would Miami do w/o Lebron, Pacers w/o PG, OKC w/o Durant..only exception would be the Spurs imo
