To clarify, McHale said that Lin's knee had a "reaction" as a result of recent training sessions and that they are going to be careful going forward. I think they are just being careful with their newest face of the franchise.

I want to see Jajuan play before I make judgement on him. I heard he is athletic and I want the Rockets to be a young and athletic team.
More from 790 interviews: Gary Forbes - Found out about trade to Houston from watching ESPN at a restaurant. Very confident guy, too bad won't get playing time. Terrence Jones - Short interview. Doesn't have a football team and is waiting until closer to playoffs to pick a team to root for. Lin on 790. Says he feels healhty and there's nothing wrong except normal soreness. Doesn't want to let marketing commitments interfere with his play. Pretty standard interview with stock answers otherwise.
This is a pretty good interview. Martin and Morey seem to be on great terms. Morey commenting that no one has worked harder than Kevin in the offseason. All joking and laughing in the interview.
Hmmm the soreness could potentially be his body just getting back into things. They may have him take it easy during the pre-season. The heat are doing the same with Wade & the Sixers with Bynum.
Keep in mind... Terrence is from an area where football isn't all that... it's not like he grew up in Ohio or Texas They had Kevin and Daryl on at the same time.. it was interesting Now they are finished.. I'm bummed there isn't any coverage at all video or audio on Rockets.com
It was wierd because of the interviewer. Martin and Morey seemed like best of buds, talking about how they went to dinner together the other night, and the host kept on talking about how wierd this interview is because of the trade last year that didn't happen and they were just like.....ok......Can you just ask a F-ing relevant question please.
Yup, McHale said its likely b/c of the increase in "intensity" in recent weeks. I don't think its a big deal.
