Glad we have Glen Rice to take our anger out on. Can't really blame the Rockets for this one, as much as I want to. Another positive is the Lakers lost giving us a slight edge over them in the standings.

You didn't see the commercial? Using gay to mean stupid or dumb is a no no, and it's offensive to gay people. You are better than that! But yeah, it really is a kind of gay.. :grin:
Damn it Mike James screws the Rockets over again! If he played better we could have probably picked Lin back up

The Rockets let him slip right through their fingers, and he is exactly the kind of sleeper that Morey was specifically hired to acquire, but the dude is so focused on trading for a star that he can't see the forest for the trees. And you just know that Les is absolutely steaming over this, because Lin could have been a huge cash cow for the Rockets exactly like Yao was. The only good side to all of this is that NY fans have to deal with the JOF and not us. And if Lin becomes a top ten player, he will be exactly what the Rockets have been missing since T Slack was still in his "prime". What a monumental F up. What could have been a bright spot for our crummy season has become another symbol for the Rockets' misguided approach to rebuilding.
How good will Lin be once he starts getting the superstar calls? With his aggressiveness, he could be among the league leaders in FTs. The player comp I see for Lin is a bigger, slower Tony Parker. Both look to score in the paint, aggressive, hesitant shooting the outside shot, both heady and clutch players. I see All-Star appearances in Lin's future as well.
