    Lock if posted.

    Really looking forward to this guy getting some minutes. He seems to understand his role as a energy/rebounding guy, and he seems more than content to fill that role. I'm willing to bet he's gonna play with a chip on his shoulder considering all that's happened. Wednesday can't come soon enough :grin:

    couldn't really hear the interview clearly: did they ask him what the coaches asked him to do or work on?

    He seems be really excited to get the second chance(he said it at least 5 times):cool:

    Can't wait to see him on the floor!

    And he knows his role right now is mainly defense, rebound and energy guy.

    Lol the asian reporter in the end just had to ask a question about jeremy lin.
    Can't blame him though. I guess that's his only job.

    "So Thomas, what do you know about Jeremy Lin?"

    "I know that he's a guy... A cool guy."

    Right after that McHale appeared and told everyone that Lin is not cool and in fact only cares about how many points he scores, the team's record be damned.

    Fortunately someone asked T-Rob about Jeremy Lin there at the end before he slipped away. Whew, that was close.

    It is so nice to hear an interview without having to listen to John McClain's sweating voice.

    "T-Rob ....can you please talk about yourself within the context of Jeremy Lin?"
    "How do you think your play will impact Jeremy Lin?"
    "If Jeremy Lin was a color, what color would he be?"
    "What does Jeremy Lin smell like?"
    "I know that you are excited about being a Rocket, but how excited are you to play with Jeremy Lin"
    "On a scale of one to ten would you rate Jeremy Lin a 10 or an 11?"
    "When you stand next to Jeremy Lin in the rain, do rain drops actually touch him?"

    Yeah that Lin comment made me chuckle as well as feel a tinge of embarrassment. I know that's his job, but still lol

    "T-Rob, do you agree with this statement? "when you die, you don't got to heaven, you just play ball with Jeremy Lin""
    "What does Jeremy Lin look like naked?
    "Can you confirm that Jeremy Lin's breath smells like strawberries?"
    "If Jeremy Lin asked you to carry his watch in your prison wallet, would you do it?"
    "Can you confirm that when Jeremy Lin cries, a bad person goes to hell?"

    I loved the token Lin question, awesome. I think this kid has something to him. I like that we picked him up.

    Bless those Asian reporters for always bringing the LOLz.
    "They all wanna win" Really TRob? I was told some rather get their points. :p

    It must be so exciting for him as a rookie to go from the Kings to a team that's actually in the playoffs race and easily one of the most exciting teams in the league right now.
    I've never watched him play, so I'm really curious to see what he brings to the table. :)
