    If Lin puts up tmac numbers then something bad happened to harden.

    Also having historically similar playoff run as tmac means the rockets will lose in the first round.

    I know having big stats and losing in the first round comforts tmac fans.

    His basketball iq is fine. He just has a mental sickness called "living in the past"

    We remember the past so we don't make mistakes in the present or future.

    I thought you remembered the past so you didn't have to worry about the present failures of the Rockets?

    I think there's success with the present rockets, Dwight Howard and James harden are awesome. Dwight Howard actually led his Orlando team to the finals.
    When was the last time we got a superstar that could lead us to the finals ?

    Yes we remember. We don't live in them, dwell on them and roll around over our bed sheets in ecstasy when we attempt to use the past to shame the present.

    Who does that?

    Howard is the best former Orlando magic player we ever got. I've mentioned this many times.

    Way better than Orlando players we got in the past

    But he needs minutes to step up and he needs a coach who believes in him like Dwight does. ;)

    Lin is a hero when he gets the whole team to play well enough that the other team has a hard team defending against us, and we win...

    ...not when he puts up Linsanity stats.

    The best part of it is, he knows this (sometimes, he defers too much).

    He was a hero in parts of the game, but Harden was the hero in the 4th quarter after Portland came back and made it a 2 point game.

    true observation.

    still a little nervous when Lin shoots the ball, it's like craps when the dice hit the back wall and bounce all over and hit the chips

    Coach Dwight? lol not gonna lie, pretty happy about the general team chemistry - nice to see a tight team.

    I can't even imagine what the lockerroom might be like for the Pacers
