    Didn't you see the steal from Harden, which led to the pass from Lin to Jones for the finish?
    Harden also passed the ball to Lin in the 2nd half too.
    They still have got a long way to go, but they played reasonably well together in this game.

    I think McHale should play Lin and Harden together more often than he does.

    Not dominant, but it's a W.

    POR was dominant. We have our hands full, on national TV.... could get ugly.

    Much needed victory. Jones balled out of control, MVP of the game.

    Lin's just tired. Every single shot was exactly like 1/2 ball short of being a bucket, except for his 1 two and 1 three, obviously.

    Good win last night. Milwaukee made little runs here and there, but the Rockets were clearly in control.

    Harden was playing full court on ball defense for some reason, which was nice even if a little odd. I thought TJones' comment on it in the postgame interview was interesting.

    First time I've ever repped a LOF.

    T. Jones just had the best game of his short NBA career and jokers on here crying about how Lin was treated. Come on man cut out the madness out please, we won last night.

    LOL

    We already know that answer, his #'s have improved dramatically with the departure with Rudy Gay.

    if the Rockets somehow trailed by 10 with 4-5 min to go i'm sure you would've seen him back.

    funny thing is TJones is treatd the same way, if he's shooting 2-7 and Casspi is hitting some 3's, TJones is gonna be playing 25 min that game.

    LOL. H-Town Sports suck.

    Yes, Lin's whopping 31 mpg average is exhausting.

    We could win the championship with Lin playing 28 minutes and there would still be some crying about how he didn't play 30+. Things just never change, all you can do is use the ignore feature and move on with life.

    agreed. i was so happy for t jones last night. at this point trade talk with asik and lin has really been a distraction all year. i say do the trade and see what happens in the playoffs this year and next year make the full push.

    Only because you got your Lin homer glasses on full blast 24/7. Nothin wrong with that until you start making accusations.

    I have the (fill in the blank) on ignore, having added several similar wastrels the last few days to what was once a very, very short list. However, when members quote them, I/we still end up seeing their stupidity. Just an FYI.

    Dwight's three point percentage would even be better if that one against Dallas counted but the buzzer had sounded before he got it off

    I don't really see your point. You could go through the game logs of many games and see similar sequences for Harden, Parsons, and Howard and they never got benched.

    Nobody is saying Lin didn't have a bad game, just that the leash on him is ridiculously short.

    Harden/Parsons have no competent backups. Who would you bench them in favor of? Brewer? Garcia?

    I don't know who's on and off your ignore list.

    I quoted the last line to directly respond and call out the poster for his double post.

    one thing I did recently was unsubscribe to the annoying and polarizing threads so they don't end up on my feed.
