    I really hope they don't force his minutes. Our backcourt has a good rhythm going, don't mess that up.

    McHale is a very careful and nice way said they won't force his minutes.

    Glad he's healed. I hope Jeremy "gets" playoffs and has more confidence after seeing his bros win. And yeah he should definitely come off bench remainder of series...

    Delfino is likely out, so Lin at the very least will keep us from having to burnout the rest of the backcourt.

    Its hard to say, at this point, between Lin and AB who we'd have an advantage with. And I didn't think I'd ever say something like that coming into this series.

    This might actually be the start of something good. If I had a choice between Lin playing as a sub-par starter and a damn-good bench player, I'll take the bench playing

    Happy to hear it. He needs to bring it tonight and play 110% every second he's out there, knowing he's probably only going to play 10 minutes or so. He needs to abuse Fisher and Jackson and go to the hole every time. I think his ultimate destiny is 6th man extraordinaire, ala Harden in OKC or Ginobli in SA.

    It's all about the adrenaline rush baby!!! His urge of wanting to play will block off all minor nagging pain...hopefully! Adrenaline was what linsanity was built on!

    Not sure how he'll play tonight, but at the very least he's well rested.

    Definitely excited to see him back. And he might even play better coming off the bench

    Ask yourself this:

    Who would you rather have score on Derek Fisher: Aaron Brooks or Jeremy Lin?

    Looks like we're going to lose tonight. Thanks Lin.

    Yes

    Awesome. Another weapon the Rockets have. They will need it. Hoping Delfino is good to go but looks doubtful.
