    glad we made it through, and i come to the forums and still lin vs pat, lol.

    i don't think lin played too bad, he notched a good assist number and played some hard d on dragic. dragic was an absolute monster this game, no one could slow that man down. almost felt like a position reversal, bev playing and closing the game like a beast and lin playing the support defensive player.

    so glad to have howard on our team.

    Agreed. Finally a good sensible post amid the arguments between the complete idiots who think Lin sucks and the complete idiots who think Lin can be the man

    Let's give credit to who had a good game, not give bash to who had a bad time (everybody have ups and downs). Sick of all these HOF,HOH, LOF,LOH,BOF,BOH. Be a rocket fan, and prove it.

    there are only 2.

    Rockets fans and fake Rockets fans

    If the question comes up, which is better, Clutch City or Linsanity? if you answer 2, then you know which group you belong to

    LOL.....
    People always blame Mchale for limiting pgs' performances, they forget the fact that Lowry and Gragic continuously improve their games in the past a few years.

    Until he gets shipped, is it too hard to root for the Rockets and the players who play for them?

    Are the Lin fans affecting your ability to follow your team and the players on the team? If the answer is yes, seek help.

    Big timer tinman the sh** is getting old and ridiculous bro. Somebody whether its the real Rockets fans or the fake fans needs to be the biger person and let the madness go. There is nothing wrong with agreeing to disagreeing.
    What's crazy the main big dog around here starts the madness.

    time to burn the LOF card. He wanted to lay low from spotlight, but at least he do it by playing good and with energy. not good Lin. not good.

    Lowry and Dragic are both focal points in their offenses. They would be option number three here. Stop comparing Lin to them. Lin puts up big numbers when he is the focal point as well.

    Who cares about Lowry
    Who cares about dragic

    They don't play here who cares

    Lin played bad, but his 2/6ast help us win, even if it wasn't much

    Team is 17-5 since new years, best in the nba

    One thing that surprised me was the fact that Dragic got his career high of 35 points yesterday. As well as he's been playing, being the focal point of an offense and being in the league as long as he has been, I could have sworn he had scored more points in a game. Oh well, it sucks for him he got his career high in a loss.

    Suns had the 2 best and 2 worst scoring quarters this game.

    Slow and steady won the race.

    Dragic as much as he's improved, is still incredibly chokey down the stretch, getting punked by Bev like he did was just one of many.

    I was sick last night, so I could only see bits and pieces in my delirium. At one point in the third quarter it was 93-83 Suns, next time I opened my eyes, Rockets secured the three point victory.

    Can anyone give me a brief second half game summary?

    Rockets played sloppy with decreased energy in the 3rd... but picked it up slightly in the 4th (spurred by Beverly's hustle). Suns also went cold, but I think the Rockets did a much better job of double-teaming Dragic and forcing him to become a play-maker.

    Basically, the 1st and 4th quarters were very similar (in the Rockets favor), while the 2nd and 3rd quarters were owned by the Suns (with the Rockets playing sloppy).
