    You guys notice that Jeremy Lin's accent is not at all what you would expect someone from Harvard to sound like? He actually sounds kind of "street" to me. All those years of pick-up basketball, lol.

    Well that collapse would have been horrific.

    This is why you execute regardless of the score.

    Rockets 2nd units were busy laying bricks around 5 minute mark. The offense became stagnant and DMo was playing horrible.

    Great game by Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin. So disappoint to see Delfino shooting 10 threes and only making one of them.

    nevertheless, good win

    Structural similarity to humor. My response sounded like laughter, because I was exhaling the breath I had been holding at the end there.

    Almost had an heart attach, but a good experience for our bench. Coach took a risk and paid off. Next time bench would do better to sustain a lead.

    Its funny how Mchale leaves the bench in and lets them play through mistakes after blowing a big lead so they can learn how to finish off games. Yet he yanks lin and Asik out many times depriving them the opportunity to do the same.

    I didn't watch the first 10 mins of the 4th... Can someone tell me what happened to our lead?

    Good spin for a near loss. You should be his spokesman.

    did it have to do with Dmo? Everytime he came in the game they went on a run.

    Some flashes of Linsanity tonight. Mchale pulled the starters a tad early, but it ended well. Critically important game; a loss would have been a disaster.

    Mchale needs to stop riding the bench for so long. When it was down to 8 starters shouldve been put back immediately

    Lin/Asik were ice cold at that point. It's not certain it would've been better. I applaud McHale for sticking with the back-ups. They got the team into the mess, he let them work out of it.

    But boy was Motiejunas apathetic and careless.

    I think he's from California, not the East coast.

    Stupid move by playing the bench considering how close the playoff race is. Mchale should be fired had we lost. Lucky we got a W
