    Why would a 'real' rockets fan care who hoists the trophy, so long as they belong to the Rockets? After all, it's about a team win, right?

    So why should a 'Rockets Fan' care if what it takes is Harden or Howard being traded away to get it done.

    Lin is better without Harden, if only we had a real SG, we wouldnt be talking about starting either him or Beverley. What I wouldn't for Paul George right now. Imagine Lin, George, Chandler, Jones & Howard...

    That's because Lin is not a PG, he is a SG who plays the point.

    We do have a real shooting guard. Lin's currently his backup, as Lin is not an all-star quality SG. Just like he would be to Paul George (who actually plays forward, way to be up with the times bro)

    Lin is okay with any of his teammates, except the team's low FG shooting-star

    Nice to read your articles again Jeff. You've really mellowed with age though...I guess with age comes wisdom. lol

    I really liked the article a lot and I think this thread was made with good intentions.

    Unfortunately, it went all weirdo mode :(

    I don't care who starts or who comes off the bench -- I just want both to play.

    They're fun to watch together!

    CHEMISTRY

    I think Beverley and Lin have it

    And because they have it

    They are playing really well together

    We just need the entire team to come together and find that chemistry

    Once they find it...everything will fall into place

    :)

    They both have similar underdog backgrounds. They are good friends off the court.

    They have no problems sharing the ball and rooting for each other.

    I think if an exec can see Lin as a top 10 PG Lin must be doing something right. He still has stuff he has to improve, but he's been heading in the right direction. Just need to give the guy time.

    Great read. I have a feeling he might be back there after his contract expires (whether he finishes here or not).

    I really like Lin as a 6th man off the bench, doing his thing away from Harden, this is what's ultimately best for the Rockets. But I can also understand that this move to the bench was probably hard for him considering that he came into Houston thinking he would be our starting PG throughout the duration of his contract and worked hard this summer to improve his game/off-ball game (3pt shooting!) to play next to James. I really don't think McHale will move Jeremy back into the starting lineup so if another opportunity opens up for him somewhere, he might just bolt and take it.
