    Well when you're playing at the level Parsons is this year, you're obviously cut some slack. His 8-24 is an outlier rather than the norm.

    blame at this juncture is pointless, it happened, let's hope it's not serious. On the plus side, it's his non shooting arm, so when he comes back, it won't be a chris paul brick fest. Heck, a break on a collision like that on his shooting arm could be near career ending, at that point even i'd say kill the lin :p

    It happened in a flash and these things just happen sometimes. Lin almost certainly saw Harden's arm but expected to run pass it and brush it off, with minimal contact, so he can go close down his man. It was just that Lee grabbed Harden's arm and made it an immovable so that Lin could not brush aside. Very bad luck for Harden but teammates constantly are running into each other.

    Y'all are ridiculous for spewing such venom at Lin.

    It was a reckless play, but an accident nonetheless.

    Get well soon, Beard. We need you man.

    People are stupid blaming Lin. I hope Harden's injury isn't too serious, but watching that several times it was a freak accident. When Lin ran into hardens arm, Lee had it pushed against his arm creating the perfect situation with Lin's head colliding with his elbow. That locked in his elbow going the wrong way. Freak accident and Lin was busy playing D on his man trying to fight past David Lee. It happened fast and the timing had to be perfect with hardens arm getting locked against david lees while colliding with Lins head before harden pulled the arm away. But lets blame Lin with knee-jerk all over the place.

    I DO AGREE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! BUT certain people are accident prone. Under no circumstance do I think Lin intentionally tried to hurt Harden but if you look at the play, he turned his head, LOOKED at Hardens arm and tried to run through it.....I think he was so into guarding his man, he was not thinking at the time. Which is a major problem with Lin and the main reason as to why he has so many turnovers.

    I have said it before and I will continue to say it, If the Rockets sign him after this contract, it's all about the MONEY, not about WINNING!!!

    Recklessness and Jeremy Lin go hand in hand obviously in more ways than one.

    I've been a huge Lin advocate for years now but everything I thought he would grow out of has just gotten worse and worse.

    He's a great guy, easy to root for, and has talent, but man.... I just really would like the Rockets to NOT have to rely on him for so much nowadays. Just a reckless player when handling the ball and passing, inconsistent as hell, and cant guard a parking meter.

    Dont blame him for the Harden injury, but the whole thing just wants to make you shake him and say "settle the F down and use your head a little more in games please". What was he trying to do trying to slide in between Harden and David Lee when Lee was posting up Harden... just a boneheaded moment for Lin.

    Regardless... Lin is here to stay it looks like, and people are just going to have to accept him for who he is and take the good with the bad cause unfortunately the Rockets need him badly.

    This is my take. I can't believe people are trying to blame someone in any way.
