      a cold? a freaking cold? give me a break. maybe the flu but a freaking cold? no.

      Delfino had a foul and only made one shot but he stayed in the game...

      Lin goes out sooner bc his play affects harden. Lin's position is easily covered by Harden. That's why he sits out longer stretches than any other starter (left on this team).

      His jumpshot is much better at Houston home games, because he has more time to practice his shooting touch.

      He doesn't have much chance to practice his shooting on the road. And he loses his touch almost immediately.

  65. UnknownFebruary 23, 2013 at 5:09 PM

    There is nothing wrong with Lin. He just doesn't own his shot. His mechanics are bad. He will always go through cold spells when his confidence is down, until he fixes his mechanics. You can see him practice his shot at every dead ball. He doesn't believe in it.

    Nevertheless, the offense looks great when he's out on the court. McHale pinning the blame on him for Washington's spurt is sick. McHale is such an idiot. He benches Lin for scoring too much. He benches him for scoring too little.

      If Lin gets defended hard, he doesn't have time to THINK.

      When Lin gets his feet set and does his shot form, it misses (and badly too).

      When Lin just lets it fly because defenses are hounding him, he reverts to his old shot form and the ball goes IN!

      I'm thinking Lin's just a bit fatigued, couldn't penetrate yet, and he struggled with his shots tonight but amazingly he can still distribute the ball with well-timed passes tonight.

      Did you see how Delfino missed a 3 after DMo bobbled the ball before passing it to Delfino? Then Delfino easily made the three when Lin passed him the ball.

      I'll be interested to see how Lin will score to break out of his slump in the 2nd half.

    Lin deserves to be bench today. He's flat footed on the court. Looks lost.

      LOL... i know what you mean. i normally don't get worked up for a game, that is until JLin came along. i just want him to do well to overcome the haters and not give them any ammo or reasons to justify their hate.

      yes, yes and yes. it's as if JLin is the only one missing shots or turning it over. others are not reprimanded, JLin is yanked if he does it.

      Bev's not doing bad.
