    You what is weird? I think the Rockets can play near the same level as the Spurs, and the Spurs can match up against the Pacers, but the Rockets vs Pacers feels like we can only beat them if we have the hot hand. If Lin played would it have made that much of a difference...I really don't know. One thing for sure, at the moment those teams are much more disciplined.

    No he isn't enough to tilt the power balance for us against INDY or Miamiit has nothing to do with injuries . Lin was quiet durable last season.

    Did we have one last year? Harden is a very good facilitator at times.

    No doubt about that, but it takes few years playing night in and night out so we can't be too harsh with Bev and Lin.

    Amare Stoudemire is injury prone. Derrick Rose is injury prone. Lin is a bastion of relative normalcy. Stop overreacting.

    If Rondo can be like he was a few years ago, that trade with Boston wouldn't look so bad. I think boston needs Asik and Lin to bolster their team. at this point, Boston shouldn't tank, they probably won't get a top 5 pick this year.

    Well Asian is a general term. Most think of East and Southeast Asia when they say Asian in the USA. But there South Asia and west Asia too. Asik is Asian lol.

    I just want the team to be healthy, get chemistry, and finally play one game with everyone knowing there role and playing up to there ability.

    Doubt that. The Pistons beat both the Heat & the Pacers at home.

    Harden is not a Point guard. We need someone like Rondo who can actually run the damn offense at elite level. Harden is a good playmaker in patches. He is being asked to do to much and his skillset is not ready for that. Learning on the fly is not going to bode well for us in the short term.

    true compared to Stoudemire Lin is like superman. But, Lin is showing signs of getting injured, Back, knees. And lin plays an extremely physical style of basketball. He always gets bruised, knicked, hit, held, bumped. It is a concern no doubt for fans of Lin and the Rockets
