Lin cost the Rocket a 10 point lead. All he had to do was not press and take care of the ball. He handed the Hornets momentum with his garbage drives and turnovers.
Come on guys. We need more knee-jerk in this thread. Say it after me again. Regardless of the game being a back-to-back, a terrible flight to New Orleans, and being part of (and one of) the youngest and most inexperienced teams in the league who will at times, have losses like this, Jeremy Lin is irrefutably, indisputably, irredeemably and fully legitimately.... .... A JOKE!!! /me knee jerks high-up in the air....
he's playing like a 5 million dollar player, i dont get why everyone's so upset like he's getting max money or something. Double standards abound, Harden has a good game albeit 7 turnovers, hey whatever he had a good game. Last night Lin has a good game, 7 turnovers and people are up in arms over it!
Unless you are derek fisher, if you play 41 min and handle the ball as much as he does, you are bound to get those "numbers". Dont be a noob and just look at the stats. I am sure you think 5-5-5-5-5 is absolutely amazing. Fact is that Lin is not a good nba player and doesnt deserve to be on our team as a key player.
Uggggghhh when Lin looks bad. he looks like he doesn't belong in the league. 1)Gives up his dribbles on drives and gets stuck. 2) Silly turnovers. 3)His shots misses badly.
Lin's TOs are going to hurt the Rox big-time if he doesn't clean it up. He and Parsons need to be benched if they don't stop turning it over. Harden turn it over too much too at times but he more than makes up for it in other ways. Lin and Parsons are not the caliber of players who can continue to turn ball over and expect playing time. It's getting ridiculous.
Sheesh people this is like the second half of a rookie year for Lin as a starter. He has shown potential yet he has not fully harvested it yet. He's young, let him and the Rockets grow
Nope. Wrong, as Harden would be the defacto pg and Douglas the sg. This team has been winning INSPITE of Lin, not because of his contributions. Take Lin off and there is 8million dollars in cap space that could be used for someone more worthy.
amazing how many cockroaches come out when it's dark, after a full month of bright lights no less :grin:
Was actually only 3 TO's. One was a bogus charge call with the defender in the restricted area that cost him a score and foul. Another was him hustling on a loose ball and losing the jump ball. His TO's actually weren't that bad.
