in college TD was an SG but learned to play PG upon entering NBA. height is the obvious factor - short for NBA's standard 6'4" - 6'8" SGs. but yeah, really better as SG. real great backup SG for Harden.
So you want Rox to loose? Thats gonna make Lin fans look bad dude :)
Obviously something happened in the locker room. Rox came out stronger and Lin took it to the basket realy hard too. Rox trailed only by 6 (or so) when JLin left. So - they were in the progress of fighting back and they simply continued to do it. BTW - its still just a two point game.
I don't understand why the Rockets are having such a tough time against a weak team but play well against a good team. Hard to watch all the miss easy shots n careless turnover........
I don't understand why the Rockets are having such a tough time against a weak team but play well against a good team. Hard to watch all the miss easy shots n careless turnover........
A Lin for ray Felton makes sense for both teams. Felton is a spot up shooter who can easily play two guard with Harden, while the Knicks need a real point guard who isn't old enough to become a US senator.
Yeah - Dolan will give Lin an 80 million dollar contract when Lins 35 and Lin will go to NY - doing absolutely nothing :) cashing in - doing nothing - paying back :)
Wouldnt be the first time that Dolan gives big contracts to people who do absolutely nothing for the team.
I doubt Jeremy will be back to Knicks, with the way Dolan is managing the team. me thinks the possibility of him going to the Lakers is bigger than returning to Knicks.
that picture of lin's head bleeding looks so serious.....He really needs to learn how to protect himself in the game! Hope he's alright and take couple days to rest!The christian prayers pray to him!
Lol. You kidding. right? Yes. you must Kidding. Cause I seen other players take some days to rest due to an injury too..ex. Melo. ex. felton. ex.Defino.ex..amare.... alright. 2days then,if not that serious. Man, at least give some like two days..that's really serious thing from what I watch..
I think TD could start games with Lin coming off the bench. TD seems to play well both with harden or with Lin. He can knock the three, run the break, defend quick guards and has that energy/swag. A good compliment to Harden/Lin who needs the ball in their hands.
Im just hoping jeremy is ok considering it' s his head involved.if it was any other part of the body, no big deal.but with a head injury, you gotta be more mindful.any news yet as to what to expect from lin's injury?
what the hell???????lord....what is mchale thinking??? when he needs back normally he wouldn't put him back, when he's no need to come back he put him back.
Love JLin's toughness. Got his head split open but stood right back up ready to run with blood dripping down like sweat while the collided dude was on his knee for quite some time. So whoever say or think JLin is soft and playing scared, you can talk to my knuckles.
I hate to bring up the knicks in any mean, but I think the knicks will let lin rest consider he just got stitching on his head. I don't like the fact that he is still put back to the game when he just bleeding like hell and got stitching.
Man - watch this Linsanity man play with a head injury! All these years that he spent banging his head against the wall (see Taiwan interview) finally paying off.
maybe killing your old team is a good inspiration lol. the Rockets boys have a history of killing their old teams.except for James, Jeremy, Toney, Asik, and now, Delfino, killed their old teams.
Damn it, Jeremy, you could have had 20 pts if you just attacked the rim like this.
I'm so sick of him being so unselfish and focused on improving his weaknesses, lol.
He has to stick to his strengths for now and get some buckets to start the game instead of being a pure passer...he doesn't have the bigs to be pass-first.
Now who says jeremy is soft? I bet many of those who claim he is soft cannot handle the stitches he got, moreso to come back on the court. Before anyone says he is soft, try getting some stitches in your head and maybe you will think straight.I wouldnt be surprised if jeremy didnt care if he is getting anesthesia. That's how tough he is. Really worthy of admiration.
The "problem" is that he's such an unselfish team player who's not concerned with his stats. And he knows it's much better for the team if he can get Patterson/Morris/Asik involved and hit 1-2 jumpers early.
But then he turns it up in the 2nd half. Today it was almost too late because of his injury!
Guys/gals give Lin a break, I think I see a pattern now. Lin is going to practice his 3pt shots beginning of game. Then drive more and go mid range 2nd half if he's not getting it.
He knows he sucks rocks with his treys, personally I think he is getting close, I don't know how much he is practicing those treys between games, but open shots have to be practiced in game.
If coaches let him play and have faith in him let's cut him some slack. They know they can't defend PGs esp PnRs without him.
TD not good against PnRs, Harden...Lol don't even get me started. Lin is like Israel's iron dome when it comes to whoever he is guarding as long as its not a blatant mismatch.
The problem is that he's looking to set other people up and not even the 2nd scoring option early in games... Like Clyde says, he should be looking to use his speed to drive
Hope Jeremy is alright, just when he started the half by taking it strong to the basket too...
ReplyDeletenot his night...
DeleteMorris shooting horrible tonight 0 - 7....
DeleteToney D is a better scorer than playmaker... go TD!
ReplyDelete:) TD -> SG not really PG - that at least is what I think. However I like his style - especially when hes playing with Lin.
Deletein college TD was an SG but learned to play PG upon entering NBA. height is the obvious factor - short for NBA's standard 6'4" - 6'8" SGs. but yeah, really better as SG. real great backup SG for Harden.
DeleteTD raining 3s Rox ahead by 4, Harden is starting to play defense.
ReplyDeleteLin is out with -17 while all other starters are + now. This is going to look real bad for Lin if Rox wins.
NO. I don't think so. Why would anyone want to think like that? how is that gonna look bad on lin? i mean there are games where he is big +.
DeleteSo you want Rox to loose? Thats gonna make Lin fans look bad dude :)
DeleteObviously something happened in the locker room. Rox came out stronger and Lin took it to the basket realy hard too. Rox trailed only by 6 (or so) when JLin left. So - they were in the progress of fighting back and they simply continued to do it. BTW - its still just a two point game.
Hope the rockets can come out this sloppy game with a win.....
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why the Rockets are having such a tough time against a weak team but play well against a good team. Hard to watch all the miss easy shots n careless turnover........
DeleteWe're being out rebounded too
DeleteI don't understand why the Rockets are having such a tough time against a weak team but play well against a good team. Hard to watch all the miss easy shots n careless turnover........
DeleteLol @ Asik...Sigh I'm convinced he is garbage...
ReplyDeleteLin may not see the floor again tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe bucks forgot how to play bball in 3rd period. Freaking Ellis didn't know what to do on a 2 on 1 fast break and turned it over.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteharden took 4 steps on his Euro-Asia step....
TD is playing good now and with a steal too. I don't think they will let lin play even if he can come back.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA that's why you do NOT let Parsons bring up the ball! Weak ass handles.
ReplyDeleteYou're dead on. He got no handle at all. Look fucking clumsy and awkward too.
Deletegood that the rockets will win this game, sad that lin won't be coming back.
ReplyDeletelmao ! Parson !
ReplyDeleteI see Lin running back to bench...Will he play 4Q?
ReplyDeletec'mon get real. TD is hott, Mchale's going to go with the hott hand. Lin's not on Harden's level, so Mchale's not brining him back.
Deletelord...his head just get serious bleeding...do you still think he will be back in 4th? I don't think so and i don't think he should.
DeleteWow TD with 16pts.
ReplyDeleteA Lin for ray Felton makes sense for both teams. Felton is a spot up shooter who can easily play two guard with Harden, while the Knicks need a real point guard who isn't old enough to become a US senator.
ReplyDeleteKeep dreaming. No way Dolans will swallow his mistake and take Lin back and have any face.
DeleteDolan saw what Lin did at MSG. Money trumps pride.
DeleteFace > Money for a rich boy [Prolly.]
DeleteHaha if that was the case Robertlin Dolan would have matched to begin with.
DeleteWho knows 3 yrs from now he will have amnesia and take lin back. Not sure if jeremy would take the offer .
Deletewhen lin's 35. maybe dolan will rethink about it.
DeleteYeah - Dolan will give Lin an 80 million dollar contract when Lins 35 and Lin will go to NY - doing absolutely nothing :) cashing in - doing nothing - paying back :)
DeleteWouldnt be the first time that Dolan gives big contracts to people who do absolutely nothing for the team.

DeleteDon't say harden play no defense . He got 4 steal ! Lol
ReplyDeleteThat's great, because he's looking to freelance.
DeleteDoesn't make up for letting his man blow past him 1513123 times.
TDougie having a good game. Good for him. All I care about is that the team wins and so does Jeremy too.
ReplyDeleteJeremy is bleeding because of this game. They better win it for him.
DeleteLmao, TD keep cherry picking layup for points. It makes me laugh although i'm still pissed that Lin didn't get to finish this game up.
ReplyDeletethat picture of lin's head bleeding looks so serious.....He really needs to learn how to protect himself in the game! Hope he's alright and take couple days to rest!The christian prayers pray to him!
ReplyDeletecouple days to rest? there's no such thing in the nba.
DeleteWhite is resting pretty well dont you think :)
Deletewhite is not resting, he's vacationing.
DeleteLol. You kidding. right? Yes. you must Kidding. Cause I seen other players take some days to rest due to an injury too..ex. Melo. ex. felton. ex.Defino.ex..amare....
Deletealright. 2days then,if not that serious. Man, at least give some like two days..that's really serious thing from what I watch..
Who cares? He can rest forever
DeleteLin is back on the bench and doesn't look like a mummy. I think he should be alright.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they superclued his wound :)
DeleteI think TD could start games with Lin coming off the bench. TD seems to play well both with harden or with Lin. He can knock the three, run the break, defend quick guards and has that energy/swag. A good compliment to Harden/Lin who needs the ball in their hands.
ReplyDeletetony d is not a starting point guard. He's fools gold. A good reserve, but, he's never been able to run an offense.
DeleteIm just hoping jeremy is ok considering it' s his head involved.if it was any other part of the body, no big deal.but with a head injury, you gotta be more mindful.any news yet as to what to expect from lin's injury?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteBUCKS announcers are very professional. Unbiased and impartial!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Way better than Houston's announcers.
DeleteI like them too!
Deletelin should sit out the rest of the game. he was essentially ineffective.
ReplyDeleteJLin is never ineffective.
Deletehe's back. no more injuries please.
DeleteHe should sit out because of his head, not because he is ineffective . Yes. Willy put it perfectly!
DeleteLol ask Jennings how ineffective Lin is.
Deleteyeah, lin did a pretty good job on him.
Deletewft @ the commentator "turn it over turn it over turn it over" like a broken record player lol
ReplyDeleteThat's because it was beginning to sound like a broken record with all the turn overs in the 3rd quarter.
DeleteJust skip this game for lin ! I want rockets to win this game.
ReplyDeleteLin is back on the court again. What an iron man.
ReplyDeleteAnd Lin is back in.
ReplyDeleteCoaching have confidence in him? Or royal edict from Les?
Or just resting Harden:D
Deletewhat the hell???????lord....what is mchale thinking??? when he needs back normally he wouldn't put him back, when he's no need to come back he put him back.
Deletehe is a starter nevertheless.
DeleteLes says I paid him now I want to watch him play. Maybe Les is like all of his. He has to see Lin play. Can't blame him
DeleteHaha. Royal edict. Yes!!!
DeleteI think mchale wants to kill lin not just his knee. I hope not.
DeleteNumber 7 on the court!
ReplyDeleteJeremy has visible stitches on the left side of his head.
ReplyDeleteack! those stitches!!
ReplyDeletelin has the battle scars. pretty tight.
ReplyDeleteThe other players act tough by tatooing themselves. JLin doesnt need tatoos. He has real scars!
Deletehell yeah.
DeleteHahaha talk about fighting...That's wtf I'm talking about, stitches so fking what I'm ballin'!
Deletewhew... that's a ugly looking cut!
DeleteLove JLin's toughness. Got his head split open but stood right back up ready to run with blood dripping down like sweat while the collided dude was on his knee for quite some time. So whoever say or think JLin is soft and playing scared, you can talk to my knuckles.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteGO LIN
ReplyDeleteThe stitches and blow didn't slow him down. He is still driving towards the basket. I think he is more determined now.
ReplyDeleteHe looks pissed :D
DeleteWow that Delfino dunk is money.
ReplyDeleteHe barely jumps and yet he can dunk so easily so so weird.
Deleteyay, lin's back! haha
ReplyDeleteDamn Jeremy is a gamer. It split a small vein on the side of his head and he's balling. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWow Bucks raining treys.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jennings drain one on TD :/
DeleteMan, you see the tennis ball sticking out on JLin's head? And the dude still drive in fearlessly to the hoop. Man, what a warrior. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteHe should be pissed, bucks messed up his come back run. He gunna get his in 4th!
DeleteHe is a warrior. but I don't know...I don't think he should come back. i don't know if it's the coach who asking him back or himself ask to be back.
DeleteHope the rockets can come out this sloppy game with a win.....
ReplyDeleteles wants lin on the court
ReplyDeleteYes. Lin fouls and Douglas comes out. Lol. Les has spoken
DeletePPat making a strong case to get his starting job back tonight
ReplyDeleteno more treys for the buckos.
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray he doesnt get hit on the same spot, that would be more bleeding this time. Jeremy , stay away from injury, please??
ReplyDeleteI hate to bring up the knicks in any mean, but I think the knicks will let lin rest consider he just got stitching on his head. I don't like the fact that he is still put back to the game when he just bleeding like hell and got stitching.
DeleteRockets team doctor should have put some band-aids to cover those fresh stitches.
ReplyDeleteThey could have sprayed something over the wound to cover it.
DeleteNah, i like it like that, just raw and nasty. Show how tough JLin is. Aside from that, the swellIng does look bad.
Delete@iHoops - I'm kind of concerned with infection, with all those sweating.
DeleteAgain - in sports they often use a spray to cover the wounds. That stuff is also waterproof...
Deletelin with assist. whoop whoop.
ReplyDeleteDelfino had some poisoned sausage again?
ReplyDeleteDefense will lose this game for Rox...
ReplyDeleteDid Delfino eat some poison sausage on the plane ride to Milwakee? He hit five 3 pointers already.
ReplyDeletejennings tried to juke lin with no success. rofl.
ReplyDeleteHaha tripped all over the place,funny.
DeleteLike Lin's aggressiveness, not looking to pass!!
ReplyDeleteHe is playing like a man possessed. That hit knocked some sense into him. Told him to stop being Asian and start playing like a brother.
DeleteHe tasted his own blood like Bruce Lee and then he went psycho like Bruce Lee.
DeleteDelfino -> needs poisoned sausage
DeleteLin -> need needs bang on the head (and maybe paine medication)
Lol Lin is so not scoring but that was a clutch steal...
ReplyDeleteyep!
Deletelin should have played like this from the start. redemption.
ReplyDeletehe gets better as the game goes on...
DeleteBucks was playing the passing lanes on Lin 1st half... good adjustment in 2nd half by Lin
DeleteMan - watch this Linsanity man play with a head injury! All these years that he spent banging his head against the wall (see Taiwan interview) finally paying off.
ReplyDeleteDamn. This game is fun. Lin plays the full game they win. Sets up Harden and Ppat. Gonna finish with 10 assists.
ReplyDeleteLol so he is having a Rondo like game, I'll take that.
Delete-11, lets make it positive. i hate negatives.
ReplyDeleteJennings hating life now he's getting locked down again.
ReplyDeleteHardLin has 7TOs, Jennings/Ellis has 8. Ok I feel better now :D
Correction, I think Harden with 2 TO
DeleteI meant Harden + Lin = 7 TOs :) Hence HardLin...
DeleteWow JLin has taken only 5 shots!!!
ReplyDeleteLin Is doing somethings to win game again.
ReplyDeleteSteal and assist machine in the 4th!
ReplyDeleteJeremy just needed some sense "knocked" into him, lol.
He had enough of that BS 3pt shooting contest.
He was definitely fouled on that breakaway layup, too. But oh well. Harden not getting that many FTs either.
we have to give a lot of props to the bench, dougie, fino, and pat.
ReplyDeleteRockets top 2,3,4 leading scorers tonight are from the bench
ReplyDeletenice fall lin. he didnt pound the ground and slid. sweet.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt! Harden is the man!
ReplyDeleteand the boos from the rafters... LOL
ReplyDelete-6, couple more to go. whoop whoop.
ReplyDeleteLincredible steals!
ReplyDeleteJust noticed -> 4 steals! Man!
DeleteHappy for that 4 steals!
DeleteI kinda care about Lin's stats. I need him to get one more assist.
ReplyDeleteyes, i got my assist.
DeleteThe bucks turn the ball over like crazy lol
ReplyDeletenice drive lin.
ReplyDeleteISO Lin :)
Deletehe took jennings to taiwan and back.
DeleteI hope Jeremy learns to STOP shooting so many damn 3s.
ReplyDeleteLook at Tony Parker! He hardly shoots any and he's been elite for a decade.
NO!!!! he needs to keep shooting them till he becomes consistent. Once his shot begins to fall...HE WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE
Deleteoh my goddness. another fino 3. im gonna piss in my pants.
ReplyDeleteMust be bang to the sausage that woke up Lin and Delfino.
ReplyDelete-4, a little more lin.
ReplyDelete:) OCD? Hahahaha
Deletehe can do it.
DeleteNo serious. I was hoping for it too but games over. He fought back. The whole team fought back and they won. Thats what matters.
Deleteparsons can't hit a 3 for his life in the last few games
ReplyDeletepoor guy. he probably still havent awaken from new years party.
Deletethis team is showing true grit.
ReplyDeleteOmfg! Delfino is on fire like crazy. Better than Novak
ReplyDeleteDelfino-caine?
Deletemaybe killing your old team is a good inspiration lol. the Rockets boys have a history of killing their old teams.except for James, Jeremy, Toney, Asik, and now, Delfino, killed their old teams.
DeleteDelfino killing HIS old team!
ReplyDeleteLIN IS INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
ReplyDeleteWow having such a crap first half and banged up 3Q...And comes back FIGHTING!!!
Yeah that's right get some of this you Lin trolls!
CMON LIN FINISH WITH A DOUBLE DOUBLE THERE"S STILL TIME!
hell yeah boi.
DeleteRockets players are killing their old teams,ecept for James Harden:
ReplyDeleteJeremy and Toney - slaughtered Knicks twice
Asik - slaughtered Bulls twice
Delfino - killing Bucks now
*meant except James Harden
Deleteno. 6 turnovers.
ReplyDeleteHe tried to attack again though. Love it
Deletewho cares now. rockies won.
DeleteDamn it, Jeremy, you could have had 20 pts if you just attacked the rim like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of him being so unselfish and focused on improving his weaknesses, lol.
He has to stick to his strengths for now and get some buckets to start the game instead of being a pure passer...he doesn't have the bigs to be pass-first.
true...give it time
DeleteNow who says jeremy is soft? I bet many of those who claim he is soft cannot handle the stitches he got, moreso to come back on the court. Before anyone says he is soft, try getting some stitches in your head and maybe you will think straight.I wouldnt be surprised if jeremy didnt care if he is getting anesthesia. That's how tough he is. Really worthy of admiration.
ReplyDeleteDId he step outta bounds?
ReplyDeleteGarbage time :/
lin caught up all his assists and steals and tied with harden. fabulous job. but i cant stand the -4. too bad he's done for the night.
ReplyDeleteI think the hit to the head helped Lin get his head on straight. He played awesome after that.
DeleteLin plays better angry :P
Deletenot again please.
DeleteMaybe they should paint Lin green. He should tell McHale, you don't want to see me angry.
DeleteOne time Harden waved both hands to get the ball. Lin saw it and ignored him :) Thats stubborn big balls Linsanity :)
DeleteLincredible Hulk?
DeleteGlad the coaches didn't listen to posters here and benched Lin for the entire second half. Some of you guys are more skeptical of Lin than Lin haters.
ReplyDeleteYeah - playing through misktakes is important. PT also shows how much respect he gets. It also allows a player to redeem himself.
DeleteHah! Lin made it 6 TO . People got somethings to say lol
ReplyDeleteOnly 6? Ive seen worse :) Rox won the game :)
Deletethese commentator on royce white is just pathetic
ReplyDeleteugh, why'd you travel Lin! could have been 4 for 9, 44%!
ReplyDeleteplease lin dont have this kind of start again. you have all of us on edge. next time, start out with a bang bang bang.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should start the game by head butting Asik...
DeleteMaybe it'll make Asik catch better, and Lin play harder..
The "problem" is that he's such an unselfish team player who's not concerned with his stats. And he knows it's much better for the team if he can get Patterson/Morris/Asik involved and hit 1-2 jumpers early.
DeleteBut then he turns it up in the 2nd half. Today it was almost too late because of his injury!
kenoshi - lol, no more headbutts. when he's hurt, i'm hurting too.
Deletezxcvb - yeah, he tries to get his team going early and leaves himself out of the loop. that's just lin and why we love him.
I do think Lin needs to do a better job of mixing up his drives and passing earlier in the game. 1st half he was too predictable in looking to pass.
Deletei noticed he plays like this against okc too. i wonder why? hmmm.
DeleteOk I know y'all see this coming but I'm going to say it...
ReplyDeleteHE IS LINDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
Sees blood -> gets fiercer. TRUE WARRIOR.
DeleteJeez stop complaining would ya!! Hats off to the kid, he's a f*cking warrior!
ReplyDeleteRefs called a travel on Lin's fake during the last drive but Harden and Ginobili can "eurostep" 4 steps?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Lin needs to start doing the eurostep...He can join the cool kids too?
DeleteGuys/gals give Lin a break, I think I see a pattern now. Lin is going to practice his 3pt shots beginning of game. Then drive more and go mid range 2nd half if he's not getting it.
ReplyDeleteHe knows he sucks rocks with his treys, personally I think he is getting close, I don't know how much he is practicing those treys between games, but open shots have to be practiced in game.
If coaches let him play and have faith in him let's cut him some slack. They know they can't defend PGs esp PnRs without him.
TD not good against PnRs, Harden...Lol don't even get me started. Lin is like Israel's iron dome when it comes to whoever he is guarding as long as its not a blatant mismatch.
The problem is that he's looking to set other people up and not even the 2nd scoring option early in games... Like Clyde says, he should be looking to use his speed to drive
DeleteThat's true and it ends up with him shooting less overall.
DeleteIf he can somehow balance it out and get about 12-15 shots per game I'd be happy.
Need more teardrops/fadeaways...Moar plz Lin!
