    Lin is consistently making bad decisions. He needs to turn it around. Why does he hesitate so much when he's open?

    You must have a very bad TV signal. Can you even tell which team is Rockets?

    Rubio 2-10

    Shooting something like 35% FG this season. He's never going to be elite unless he finds a jumper, and if he hasn't found one yet it's unlikely he ever will.

    What's funny is that he shoots something like 80% from the free throw line but it doesn't translate to his in-game shooting.

    Commentator was comparing Parson`s game to Magic`s game. Both tall, athletic, and got the mad handles. :cool:

    The 2 points isn't really a bad thing considering he was mainly a facilitator tonight. Plus this is the TWolves, Lin probably felt like he didn't need to go linsane on them.

    Kevin Love is a great player and all but, given his team impact where they are not even in the playoff picture, how can you rank him over Aldridge and Griffin? This guy is 6'8" tops and looks like he's about to have another serious leg injury. I'd not only want Aldridge but also Griffin over this guy.

    we didn't need Lin to score, just keep the offense flowing, which he was able to do. In fact, on most nights, we probably won't need Lin to score a whole lot. He just needs to get Parsons, Jones, and Howard in the flow. Harden will get his own shots, but Lin gets the overall offense flowing.

    No players over 40 minutes. I bet it feels nice for them to finally get some air during games

    Because you can't just evaluate him base on this game. Wolves were missing 2 key players.

    Lin isn't going to be able to score well every night but its good to see him at least contribute in terms of keeping the pace up and playing D, i think he could've easily had a couple more assists if not for missed bunnies

    the defence feels so much more solid with Omer in the 2nd unit and Dmo seems to be growing alot on the defensive end, rememeber the first few games where it was just matador D whenever he was on the court.

    Dwight has been playing very great, but we need to rebound better especially when Dwight goes for a block attempt.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Lin had more.

    ... Harden played bad. We won at the 4th quarter when Harden sat out.

    Apparently people only notice when Lin makes them. Weird.

    well.. they are both tall...

    Parsons can't dribble very well and he isn't that athletic.

    I don't watch the Wolves consistently enough but if this game is any indication, Love should be the 3rd best player on an elite team. He had a great game statistically but was nowhere to be found in the 4th.
