    Lin is very replaceable. He's about as average as it comes.

    He scored 4 pts in OT and got the steal + assist for the game winner.

    If he "almost threw away the game twice", we also won because of him.

    5-11 13pts 6 assists 5 rebounds 1 turnover. He in fact did have plays that involved him dribbling and shooting.

    Oh look, it's my puppy dog. He's getting that race card warmed up as we speak.

    Well, when you blow a layup that would've sealed the game in a must win situation, its understandable people are going to be pissed. Obviously he made up for it later. That said Parsons overall has been worse than Lin this game and Harden hasn't played that well either.

    Where the **** did I give Harden a pass? Learn to read please, before trying to mouth off. I said he failed in the end. Lin and Daniels bailed him out there, therefore me saying Lin partially redeemed himself. That still does not change the fact that if Lin didn't blow a layup he was supposed to make and lose his dribble in one of the most critical moments of the game, it would have never gotten to the point of Harden failing miserably on that play.

    Again, we won because of Lin. There you go. Sit snoopy, sit.

    If TROY DANIELS (LOF love him now for saving Lin's ass :grin:) didn't make that shot, Lin would've got the forum ass whoopin he deserved tonight for the clutch r****ded layup, clutch fouls, and repeat clutch turnover. Call off the hounds!!!

    Good decision to pass Jeremy!

    Something I never want to see him do again while wearing a Rockets jersey. He is simply too inconsistent for me to consider him worthwhile to keep around.

    He actually is posting both extremes. He is making a point. Your reading comprehension is sorely lacking.

    That wasn't a turnover on the dribbling at the end. He was clearly fouled without a doubt.

    Firstly, I liked that he went for the layup as it was the right play since he was open. Unluckily, he missed. I guarantee you that if he had made that, everyone would be praising him and no one would even question if that's the right play or not.

    Secondly, I agree that it was a huge turnover by Lin at crunch time and no one can give him excuse for that.

    On a bright side, I felt Lin had an average game tonight and hopefully he continues to play better for us!

    You're still an idiot that can't read. LOL

    I didn't say he WON us the game. I said you can't give Harden a pass for his TO and blame Lin for his.

    Anyway good win,

    I played that over and it looks like Lin was fouled on that play. For some reason or other he doesn't get the calls. Like that flagrant play that was never called when he was driving to the rim. I don't know how he made both of his free-throws after that. By the way Howard never gets calls when he slams down his shots.

    or coach... You said you don't want to see him shoot or dribble ever again as a Rocket. There is a playoff series still happening and I would much rather have Lin dribble and shoot over Canaan.
