    Shows that Larsv8 is a true rocket's fan who gives credit where credit is due. More than can be said for posters who only creep out and post negative things about our players when they play badly.

    Congrats to Lin and Bev for having great games. The best thing for me about this win? That harden and howard got theirs effortlessly. They are not forcing shots and easily got to 20+ points playing within the flow of the game.

    Props to Mchale for making the right rotations, though I feel Parsons could have come in instead of Casspi in the 2nd half.

    Overall, pretty amazing night for Lin and hopefully he can continue his streak.

    Maybe not MJ. But definitely a top 5 point guard.

    So proud of Lin to get a triple double in the face of all the adversity he has faced. A front office and staff who want him to fail. Teammates who refuse to pass to him. A star in Harden who gets pissed when Lin scores baskets. I swear Harden misses on purpose sometimes just to keep Lin's assists down.

    Lin needs to go to a team like the Mavs or Jazz where he could lead them to multiple rings.

    I agree Harden-Lin isn't the best fit but chill out.

    There's not that much drama.

    nice link read below ... wooohooo

    Jeremy Lin is only one of three players to have accomplished the triple-double in less than 30 minutes of play, along with Brian Shaw and Rod Strickland.

    Good logic, but triple doubles under 30 minutes of play has happened 23 times when including starters. Fat Lever got a TD in just 25 minutes 11-10-10

    Lin is the first bench player to get a trip-dub in under 30 minutes in 15 years (Rod Strickland), and Lin joins Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Russell Westbrook as the only players to get trip dubs in under 30 mins in the last 5 years.

    Now we're really digging deep!

    Lol forreal man, top 5 point guard? Feasible, probably more in the 5-8 range, we'll see come playoff time if he can produce his usual results under playoff intensity. But lol I don't think hardens gonna intentionally miss shots just to spite lin. Maybe ball-hog a little/ blow defensive assignments and act like it wasn't his fault, but I don't think he would intentionally hurt the team for someone he probably doesn't even care that much about.

    Slightly off topic but was looking up the 5x5 and since 1990, has
    been done 13 times. Hakeem being the most impressive, 6 times!!!

    The best being 38 points, seventeen rebounds, six assists, twelve blocks, and seven steals.
