    That team just isn't very good. Lin should have passed it when he saw Nene approaching. To give credit to Lin, on that 3rd play, he was bumped out of bounds by Nene. (Should have been a foul) This is his first game back after sitting out a really long time and his stats were solid. He just doesn't have a spot on a very good roster like the Rockets nor does Cousins, Gay or any other trade proposals.

    The guy has always been a scrub and I will never forget the intense passion I hated him with in that Portland series where he found a way to get Portland that game, which effectively closed out the series.

    I think I might enjoy watching an intelligent duck play defense. He or she could probably block a lot of outside shots with his or her body, but I imagine 1 game could be the career ender.

    I apologize, I meant to say VERY weak. Take a deep breath and gather yourself as all the assumptions you made there are far reaching. You didn't call anybody out as I'm responding to you. Lin is very gay and there is nothing wrong with that. Yes, the man bun is gayish. Being gay is O.K. it is something to be proud of. I'm sure your parents will be fine with it when you tell them. If I had a gay son I would love him just like the others. Heterosexual men like calling their friends gay because it implies they have less testosterone and are less manly and being manly is what being hetero is all about. Its too bad you think being gay is bad but I'm O.K. with gayness. Don't be so mentally weak and think everything is a fight or an insult. You are somebody special to somebody, I'm sure of it.

    I'm really glad the NBA doesn't call it your way. If that was a foul on a consistent basis, the game would be unwatchable. You don't get that call at any level that I watch. I would say that the replay clearly shows that Jeremy knocked that out of bounds but the team retained the possession. That was a gift from those refs, which I'm also okay with.

    I don't get it, by all accounts Lin played his ass off and sacrificed for the team when he was here in the past. Yes, he made mistakes, but he was by no means BAD when he was on the Rockets. Shift to assholes like Parsons, Howard, and Lawson, all of whom either 1) Dissed the rockets publicly, 2) Didn't give a **** about the team, or 3) Sucked big time.

    We need to stop focusing on Lin for reals lol. We have a good thing going, and you assholes are trying to ruin it by continuing to bring this dude up? lol

    All I know is the Rox have always gotten called for the foul concerning that type of play in the past in the most critical moments (Playoffs against the Mavs 2005, Jazz 2007, Lakers 2009, and Warriors 2015) Go back and look at some film. It's good if they don't call it on the Rox anymore but it usually goes either way when you bump or hip check the opposing player out of bounds.

    It was Nene's fault. Lin was about to score but Nene cocked blocked it.

    Lin played like a dam d leaguer majority of his time here. Then what happened in the playoffs? Cost us 1-2 games easily.

    Majority his fault and his dumb bootey buddy parsons getting busted on by lillard.

    The main 2 divas lin and parsons are gone along with the cancer dwight and mchale and the true anchor (Harden) is proving what happens when you have competent coaching focusing on his talents.

    Surprised no one said Lopez is supposed to feel Nene start a slide prematurely to Lin and fake the hand-off ala Yao Ming then spin and attack the middle.
