    Why won't Dwight??? Why won't Harden? Both of those "stars" as klutzier than a drunk with one leg.
    More importantly, what is it that you enjoy picking on Lin so much?

    You seem upset. May I suggest a stress ball or brisk walk?

    How about Parsons. He's shooting .365 (2's)and .240 (3's) for March.
    Lin is .446 and .250..

    Did you just wake up out of a coma?

    I would think LIN could string a couple good games together but not the case

    If you think Lin played fine up until today you have low standards.

    Lin isn't capable of consistently being a plus player in his current role. Not going to happen.

    Lol this shows how little you know about basketball and how little you care about the Rockets. We're in a win-now mode and Lin has proven time after time that he can contribute to the team but you 'seriously consider playing Canaan', a rookie that hasnt seen more that 48 minutes of playing time in the NBA, that hasnt proven anything yet a few games before playoff starts? Thank God you dont work for the Rockets

    I never said that. He was bad for a long stretch until the last few games where he showed improvement. Today was just a bad game for him.

    I get really nervous watching Jeremy with the ball. Never know what to expect.

    You don't seem very smart tbh.

    Is it really that hard to read and think at the same time.

    I never said Canaan would be better than Lin. I said I'd consider playing him because I believe Lin will cost this team. I have a good feeling about Lin over a play off run. Over the course of games. I'm not sure if Canaan can be a more effective player.

    Well I didn't say that, but it should have been implied. But you're too busy playing the "you don't care about this team card" which automatically lets me know you're a mental midget.

    I don't get nervous. At this point I'm expecting fail. If he plays well or does something great I'm surprised.

    Lin has ability, but he just doesn't have 'it'. Can't put my finger on it, but he just hurts the team in his current role more often than not. He's not a great passer, shooter, scorer or defender. Though at any point he "could" do any of those things well.

    Just wouldn't count in him doing any one thing well on any night. Lin playing well is a bonus at this point.

    Based on the games recently, if Parsons only played about 20+/- minutes, I don't think he would have made much of an impact to these games. Actually, he's been bad lately. He's allowed to play up to 40 min or so and because of that he's allowed to play through his mistakes or pad his stats. He's a good player and I know what he's capable of, but same goes for Lin. Unfortunately, Lin doesn't get consistent minutes and has the shortest leash. Parsons doesn't deal with the same treatment.

    Man he was looking good in the first half, completely disappeared in the 2nd.

    Still can't compete against the Heat.

    So you don't think Canaan is better than Lin but you want to play him. Fking smart. We got a genius here.

    BTW take some English lessons somewhere
