    I agree that it wasn't a good game by him, and you personally don't put the blame squarely on him. But many people are really blaming the entire game on him. Oh well...it's the life of Lin.

    When nobody except those trolls saying Lin is superstar when he plays great...please give this kid his first full season a break.

    Is Jason Smith available? This guy plays unbelievable every game against us. Good energetic defender, nice length, and accurate mid-range jump shooter.

    Excuse me, I saw nothing but posters putting this loss entirely on Lin. Shall I quote?

    My pregame nightmare came truth. Lin had a terrible game. You can say all you want about his 5 steals neglecting his 5 TOs, but some of his TOs came at the most crucial time of the game and chaos to our downfall in the 4th.

    Rockets 15 assists to 22 turnovers. Even Lin was 1:1 A:T.

    ugh, well

    1) We all knew January was gonna be hard because of schedule and back-to-backs

    2) Blew out Lakers yesterday

    3) Even the Hornets announcers were saying that the calls against the Rockets were bad

    4) Young team

    They'll get a day off tomorrow to rest-recuperate-gameplan, and it'll be okay.

    it's "scapegoat".
    but too many things didn't go right.
    when shots aren't falling, they really need to have some plays set up for asik and other bigs.
    he seems to be a wasted weapon at the end of games. i know offense isn't his strong suite, but it has to be developed.

    I guessed the calls would be atrocious when I saw the point spread. Sports are so rigged I don't know why I bother to watch sometimes.

    The silverlining after a loss like tonight's is that we get to read all the trolls who haven't had much to say over the past 5 games. ;)

    Did someone already mention that Lin should be sent to d-league? :p

    No doubt Lin had a bad game, but to pin the loss on him and him only is morally WRONG.

    That was had to watch, but in the end, we can't win them all. That's the most important thing to remember.
