I really don't know why but I'm really excited for tonight's game. I think is going to be a great one. Hope we win, and I think we will see some Linsanity tonight.
I would think that many regular posters here on JeremyLin.net could also contribute positively, as well as constructive criticism on this Youtube talk show, especially founder JLin#1fan!!!
The premise of that show is lame and stupid. It takes advantage of Jeremy Lin's fame and notoriety. Were any of the people on the "show" watching Warriors and Knicks games hoping to see if Lin would get a few minutes of PT? What about following Lin since Paly and Harvard? Any of them there in Vegas for NBA Summer League?
The real fans are this website's founder and posters here.
So far Rockets are running and gunning. Bradley was trying to make it difficult on Harden, but he got off of a double screen and hit a three. Lin with 2 points and 1 assist so far.
One of the Boston announcers is talking like he is at a golf tournament. He is almost whispering. I don't hear the crowd booing loudly when Lin touches the ball. Don't know what one of the poster in the previous thread was eluding to.
Asik can't hit a free throw for his life. Is he the next Howard. Perhaps they should do hack Ah Sick. He missed 4 FT's so far. As expected, Lin is getting his rest while Harden and TD are in. Time for Harden to rack up his points with Lin out.
Harden's defense is again non existence. He bricked at least two 3 pointers already, but still have shooter's mentality and amnesia. Boston went on a run when Asik missed 4 FT's and coach sub Lin out for TD.
is it just me or is it boring to watch James Harden popping every single position? Forget about Lin, give delfino a go, Smith.. even TD.. fark me.. so boring!!!!
No, Harden usually rests at the beginning of the 2nd quarter until the 6 minute mark or if the Rockets are falling behind. That has been the usual sub pattern. Now it is Lin's turn to play floor general with TD.
The difference between elite and ordinary players is that the ordinary player finds some way to play poorly eg, Asik missed 1 and 2 footers, now he manages to copy Hack a Dwight. Admittedly he is not brought in for his offence but the way he is off balance and shoots with his forearm for Ft's is not NBA level.
Lin is holding this team together at the moment, good distribution and setting up shots for his team. Harden just not at Lin's level with careless TO's.
Rockets playing horrible defense. Don't know why Asik ran out to cover Lin's man and left the basket open for an easy dunk. Lin poked the ball away and Delfino has no court awareness just ran by. The ball rolled to a Celtic player on the floor and he passed to Pearse in the corner for a 3. Delfino did not cover.
Wow ROCKETS DEFENSE IS NON-EXISTENT!!! At least TRY!!! They are not hustling. Delfino turn-over and he doesn't even pursue the ball. Everyone except Lin comes back to defend. Are you serious!? Plus I should have picked sullinger in fantasy I thought about it and didn't. Other than that, good note Lin is playing well. Hitting his shots and playing decent D.
I think McHale is letting memories of Boston Garden get to him. He has been terrible with his subs and is getting killed. Boston bench is outplaying Houston bench.
Rockets shots all missing, including FREE Throws, Celtics not missing any. Rockets under pressure - too many desperate passes and ball watching during defence. Need to wake up. Time for Harden to shoot more?
Harden got trapped and instead of passing it tried to dribble through it and lost the ball. Another stupid TO by Harden. Morris tried to think he is Kareem Abdul and float the ball to the basket over KG and got blocked. SMH.
When Celts are trapping like this, they will leave someone open. So find the open man. Harden needs to catch that a trap is coming and pass it before it happens.
In pre-game interview, Doc had great things to say about Harden but only said Lin has played great in some games but not well in others. Not saying it's racism outright, but Jeremy, just like Yao before him, definitely doesn't get the respect I believe he deserves.
Less than 50 pts in half is not a good sign for Rockets. Lin is playing great. Patterson can make a shot. Defence was non-existant. Now is way better. It's still only by 8, if there is a team that knows how to come out of a deficit in the first half is the Rockets. Let's GO! We got to win this one!
Bulls already bullied the Knicks twice. second game resulted to ejection of Melo, Tyson, and Woodson. wouldn't be surprised if it happens again. *big grin*
McHale's half time speech better be damn good or else the Rockets will be shot down from outer space and come crashing back to Earth again. Ron Jeremy Lin is the only penetrator for this game. Osama Bin Harden is fumbling away the Rock and thinking he can do it all by himself.
The Rockets are not playing their up-tempo game. The Celts are doing a good job preventing it by getting back on transition D. Dumb TOs in the first half by all except, JLIN, for once is giving Celts easy points. Rockets rotation defense is bad, need to tighten up.
Honestly, Rondo's stats are inflated. Put Jeremy on the Celtics he'd average just as many dimes imo. Also, Rondo gets assists credited to him that aren't even legit assists.
Sane-0-shit on a different day. JLin play D vs 5 opponents. Look, if they lose this game, they will put it on JLin again. Harden will turn on his iso-hero mode to bump up his stat in 2nd half and JLin will left out standing in the corner again cuz the ball will not come back to him once he let it go.
i doubt if they blame Jlin here unless he stunk its out in the second half. the hornet game was so ugly but i blame the ref there.those were blatant bad calls. The kind of call that ruins momentum and rhythm of players. You can't attack because ull get a charge and you cant defend because they call even the slightest contact and yet they let the other team get away with the same shit. of course there will be game like that and Jlin need to adjust and not let his momentum and rhythm be affected too much.
I really don't know why but I'm really excited for tonight's game. I think is going to be a great one. Hope we win, and I think we will see some Linsanity tonight.
ReplyDeleteMust be getting close to Feb. 4th?
ReplyDeleteWhats happening on feb 4th?
Delete@willydilly. Really? Anniversary of the Nets game that started Linsanity.
DeleteIt wasn't Feb 4 but 5, wasn't it?During superbowl?pls correct me if im wrong. Wanna get the fact straight.
Delete@redking:
Deletearghhhh - shame on me :)
FYI, there's a new web-based roundtable talk show about our favorite Asian American NBA superstar--Jeremy Lin on Youtube via Asiancinevision.
ReplyDeleteEpisode 1 was following the Rockets vs Lakers game on Wednesday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zs24ryIBQw
Episode 2 would be after tonight's game and will feature an Asian-American studies Professor from Wisconsin.

I am not crazy about the name of the show and seems like they are still trying to figure out it. On the other hand, KUDOS for putting it out there!
DeleteWow - I really hate that court. Colors are awful!
ReplyDeleteSo far Rockets are running and gunning. Bradley was trying to make it difficult on Harden, but he got off of a double screen and hit a three. Lin with 2 points and 1 assist so far.
ReplyDeleteLin went coast to coast with Rondo looking on.
DeleteOne of the Boston announcers is talking like he is at a golf tournament. He is almost whispering. I don't hear the crowd booing loudly when Lin touches the ball. Don't know what one of the poster in the previous thread was eluding to.
ReplyDeleteAnother minute and Lin will sit while TD will be subbed in.
ReplyDeleteLin got a nice steal anticipating Rondo's pass to his big man.
ReplyDeleteAsik can't hit a free throw for his life. Is he the next Howard. Perhaps they should do hack Ah Sick. He missed 4 FT's so far. As expected, Lin is getting his rest while Harden and TD are in. Time for Harden to rack up his points with Lin out.
ReplyDeleteTime for Harden to rack up his dumb TOs.
ReplyDeleteMcHale and Sampson, this is one game where Toney Douglas will not save you.
ReplyDeleteAsik wasn't bad with FTs earlier on the season. What the hell happened. Damn.
ReplyDeleteHe hit a wall. Too many minutes for him.
DeleteI think he just suck at FTs.

ReplyDeleteHarden is not playing well at all.
Deleteis it just me or is it boring to watch James Harden popping every single position? Forget about Lin, give delfino a go, Smith.. even TD.. fark me.. so boring!!!!
ReplyDeleteI get scared as helll when lin shoots now.. he just needs to keep driving!!
ReplyDeleteLin is in and found Smith, but he missed the easy layup and got fouled. No assist for Lin. He can't shoot FT's either.
ReplyDeleteMissed layup, missed fts and missed the hook shot. Smith must have learned that from Asik :)
DeleteWhere is Harden? Wouldnt he usually play at this point?
ReplyDeleteNo, Harden usually rests at the beginning of the 2nd quarter until the 6 minute mark or if the Rockets are falling behind. That has been the usual sub pattern. Now it is Lin's turn to play floor general with TD.
DeleteJust shoot it TD. Damn.
ReplyDeleteThe Celtic crowd is deafening.

Lin with the sweet mid J. 4 pts 2 assists so far.
ReplyDeleteMore dumb TOs. WTF.
ReplyDeleteLin sick of team mates missing easy shots. Doing it himself.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Delfino handling with LIN and DOUGLAS *BOTH* on the court?!?
ReplyDeleteredking - ROX has been doing this all season, it's part of McHale's offense.
DeleteThe Celts are forcing the Rockets to the perimeter. They need penetration to collapse the defense. JLin needs to start attacking.
ReplyDeleteNice 3 JLin.
ReplyDeleteThat saved by Terry I swear the ball went out of bounds. Lin with 3 pointer for 7 points.
ReplyDeleteLin for 3!
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah Lin YEAH!
ReplyDeletehouston bigs suck on defense.
ReplyDeleteRockets playing horrible defense. Don't know why Asik ran out to cover Lin's man and left the basket open for an easy dunk.

ReplyDeleteI think McHale is letting memories of Boston Garden get to him. He has been terrible with his subs and is getting killed. Boston bench is outplaying Houston bench.
ReplyDeleteRelying too much on the 3 ball.
ReplyDeleteGarbage defense getting caught on hc sets heres where exp counts lin tried and td got it to 3 but lack of post d is killing them
ReplyDeleteSullinger is making the Rox bigs look like idiots.
ReplyDeleteNote to Rockets organization: Marcus Morris and Patterson cannot bang inside with the big boys. Need a solid PF.
ReplyDeleteFinally a dunk by Morris.
DeleteRockets shots all missing, including FREE Throws, Celtics not missing any. Rockets under pressure - too many desperate passes and ball watching during defence. Need to wake up. Time for Harden to shoot more?
ReplyDeletewow.. what happened to the Rockets' D?
ReplyDeleteSeriously what the eff is going on.
ReplyDeleteMove the damn ball. Celts are trapping hard so move the ball.
DeleteWhat a goaltending!!!
ReplyDeleteC's bench killing Rockets...
ReplyDelete3 rox bigs couldn't out rebound sullinger.
ReplyDeleteHarden got trapped and instead of passing it tried to dribble through it and lost the ball. Another stupid TO by Harden. Morris tried to think he is Kareem Abdul and float the ball to the basket over KG and got blocked. SMH.
ReplyDeleteTO's harden, use your team if your getting doubled fkn pass it off.. bloody hogg..
ReplyDeleteWhen Celts are trapping like this, they will leave someone open. So find the open man. Harden needs to catch that a trap is coming and pass it before it happens.
ReplyDeleteCome on harden pass the ball when they trap you........
ReplyDeleteack!!!! Celts are trapping much. pass the damn ball when you're trapped Harden...
ReplyDeleteit's nice to see that Lin seems like the only rocket playing well.
ReplyDeletei cant stand Hardens face for some reason lol.. he never smiles.
ReplyDeleteHis beard is hiding his smiles :)
DeleteJ Lin has a high arc on his shot ay?
ReplyDeleteHarden is sooo bad today!!!
ReplyDeleteThat usually happens when his opponent actually play D against him and stop his move. It's like he is confused and don't know what to do.
DeleteI would assume every team would scout J Harden though, why today? the dude D'ing up on him playing better D than most?
DeleteIn pre-game interview, Doc had great things to say about Harden but only said Lin has played great in some games but not well in others. Not saying it's racism outright, but Jeremy, just like Yao before him, definitely doesn't get the respect I believe he deserves.
DeleteHarden with 5 TO's already for this game. Another errant pass to no man's land Lin.
ReplyDeleteSeem like only Lin is playing his tail off....
ReplyDeleteSack Harden lol..
ReplyDeletebad pass by Harden..
ReplyDeleteTake it strong young man take it strong and Lin got and 1 on Rondo with Parson on the wing. Nice aggressive move Lin.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Lin is seeing that Harden's game is suffering and he is going into Linsanity mode.
ReplyDeletehe should always go into the mode, fark harden eggo.
DeleteLin is doing a good job containing Rondo. Only 3 assist for Rondo considering the C's are shooting 56%.
ReplyDeleteYeah Lin, in your face harden
ReplyDeleteI like how he leaned in to get the bump
ReplyDeleteJeremy is the only one hustlin'. disagree with announcers saying Lin cannot stay against Rondo.
ReplyDeleteracism man, plain and simple.
DeleteHe's not racist. He's just pro Celtics. That was just a dumb statement he made.
DeleteLin is playing well tonight, good defense and playing under control. I hope he looks for his shot more in 2nd half
DeleteSeem like only Lin is playing his tail off....
ReplyDeleteLess than 50 pts in half is not a good sign for Rockets. Lin is playing great. Patterson can make a shot. Defence was non-existant. Now is way better. It's still only by 8, if there is a team that knows how to come out of a deficit in the first half is the Rockets. Let's GO! We got to win this one!
ReplyDeleteCome on harden pass the ball when they trap you........
ReplyDeleteThat might be the BEST first half Jeremy has played ALL SEASON.
ReplyDeleteHe was outstanding in every way. Too bad Asik couldn't make his FTs and his other teammates slacked off on defense.
Zero turnovers! Hehe, don't want to jinx him.
But you just did :) If he turns it over it will be on you :)
DeleteSo true. First game this season that Lin played with total control.
DeleteWhy is Jeremy Lin +/- at 0 when he is 4-8, 1 -2 from 3 pt land, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 10 points?
ReplyDeleteOn a happier note, the Knicks are getting bullied by The Bulls. No pun intended.
Bulls already bullied the Knicks twice. second game resulted to ejection of Melo, Tyson, and Woodson. wouldn't be surprised if it happens again. *big grin*
DeleteMcHale needs to adjust on defense in regards to Jared Sullinger or this game is over.
ReplyDeleteMcHale's half time speech better be damn good or else the Rockets will be shot down from outer space and come crashing back to Earth again. Ron Jeremy Lin is the only penetrator for this game. Osama Bin Harden is fumbling away the Rock and thinking he can do it all by himself.
ReplyDeleteThis is winnable game even with the lead Celts has.
DeleteThe Rockets are not playing their up-tempo game. The Celts are doing a good job preventing it by getting back on transition D. Dumb TOs in the first half by all except, JLIN, for once is giving Celts easy points. Rockets rotation defense is bad, need to tighten up.
ReplyDeleteLin could probably average 9-10 Assist if he had finisher like C's Garnett and Pierce. That's why Rondo's assist stats are debatable.
ReplyDeletetrue. C's have better catchers
DeleteHonestly, Rondo's stats are inflated. Put Jeremy on the Celtics he'd average just as many dimes imo. Also, Rondo gets assists credited to him that aren't even legit assists.
Deletei think assists can also be about chemistry rondo pierce and garnett have been playing together for years.
DeleteMcHale better make adjustments on his offense. Rockets main scorer will be trapped and trapped. play uptempo and outrun Celts
ReplyDeleteSane-0-shit on a different day. JLin play D vs 5 opponents. Look, if they lose this game, they will put it on JLin again. Harden will turn on his iso-hero mode to bump up his stat in 2nd half and JLin will left out standing in the corner again cuz the ball will not come back to him once he let it go.

Deletefumbling Asik.
ReplyDelete7 footer and can't make a point blank layup. sad
ReplyDeleteHe misses from 1 foot. What do you expect from 7?
DeleteTime to sub out Asik. Liability
ReplyDeleteThis Rockets team besides Lin and Harden (only on offense) is trash.
ReplyDeleteParsons' D is so overrated.
ReplyDeleterally time.
ReplyDeleteJeremy can evade traps better than Harden
ReplyDeletenew thread, folks.
ReplyDeleteMy God. Effen Asik. He really suck like sheeeeeeeeeeeeet.
ReplyDelete
