This is it guys. This is literally the begin of Jeremy Lin's playoff career. I remember last year hoping for Jeremy to make his debut in the playoffs with the Knicks. And tonight, it's finally happening. I can't wait. I know that everyone is saying that we can't win and I'm one of those that thinks we can maybe get to game 5. However, I wouldn't be surprise if Lin goes all Linsanity in the playoffs. I'm expecting a great game. Some of these playoffs games have been worst that in the regular season. I hope that doesn't happen to the Rockets. I say Lin has a 20+ point game and 7+assists. What about you?
Best of luck to J and i have no choice but to wish the entire team the best too! Give it all you got Jeremy! Win or lose, show everyone what you are capable of...
I think Jeremy will play better on the road than at home.. That is bec the Houston fans adore harden's hero and iso ball and jeremy would probably be deferring a lot to harden while playing homecourt...on the road, this may not be the case...
LOL Barkley in full retard mode...i have a good feeling. it´ll be a Linsane game if the Refs dont pamper Durant to hard and if Harden gets his head out of his ass ;)
Well, this was expected. All these players need to plant themselves in this game since is the first Playoff game for 3 of the 5 and first starting playoff game I believe for all 5. We just can't let the Thunder get way ahead in the first 5 minutes of the game.
Worst start you could have! Falling apart early, expecting Lin to get abused as usual. Harden is harden, ISO and no defense giving a wide open dunk to durant, Lin not playing rough defense with a quick foul (which should have been a charge)
Ha right? If you have Parsons and Harden on the court, Lin should not be shooting that 3 ball at the end of the shot clock. He should be passing it to them.
Lin was nervous. Failed pass, followed by unwise attempt to draw charge against KD. He'll settle down now. But picking up 1 foul already makes him give ground on defense.
The problem is that guys like Lin they need to dribble a bit and warm up. Wait and you will see. Even though he missed he last shot I liked his dribble. They will be fine.
First Q of first playoff game jitters. Everyone including Lin look so tense out there. Maybe it'll take a whole Q for them to get used to playoff environment.
Ok, I am seeing this as a good start by Lin. Had a bad pass off the bat but he tried his style. He is playing very good defense. Remember, Lin has had more pressure on him than anyone and he has succeeded time and time again.
I think he starts taking over by 3rd quarter if its close. The entire Rockets team looks tight.
Jlin needs to be there,there's no way Beverly is better than him,give him 2 minutes for a breather that's it,this is playoff no time for phasing the players too much
Well, it doesn't matter how you start but how you finish. Only by 7 to finish the first quarter is actually GREAT for the Rockets and how they are playing. Let the players warm up a little bit more and this will get very interesting soon!
I hope Mchale will sit Harden and Beverly and let Lin run the team,he can put Garcia,Parsons,Asik,TJones,I think this is the best line up that the Rox have.

I think Bev is off to a great start. Not good for Lin. I think Lin can do a better job but he is really not given the chance. He needs to drive a little more. The jumpers will start falling.
ACHIEVMENT UNLOCKED : Played first career playoff game
ReplyDeleteJeremy uses Linsanity.
DeleteMcHell defends with bench.
Linsanity freezes. Loses 10,000 hps.
Shh...[Fr your lips to no one's ears!]

ReplyDeleteSo it Begins!
Best of luck to J and i have no choice but to wish the entire team the best too! Give it all you got Jeremy! Win or lose, show everyone what you are capable of...
ReplyDeleteGo Lin!
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteEveryone only talkin' about Harden and mocking Lin. OUTRAGEOUS DISGUSTING 'MURICA
ReplyDeleteWhat did they say?
DeleteWhat did they say about Lin?
Deletehuh? what'd they say?
Deleteguys in TNT studio and around the twitterverse
DeleteI think Jeremy will play better on the road than at home.. That is bec the Houston fans adore harden's hero and iso ball and jeremy would probably be deferring a lot to harden while playing homecourt...on the road, this may not be the case...
ReplyDeleteLOL Barkley in full retard mode...i have a good feeling. it´ll be a Linsane game if the Refs dont pamper Durant to hard and if Harden gets his head out of his ass ;)
ReplyDeleteLet's Go Rockets! Shut everyone down!!! I'm so excited right now. LINSANITY!!!!
ReplyDeleteDurante is going to get every call
ReplyDeletethis is gonna be rough.
ReplyDeleteI like how quit is is Lin turnsover the ball.
ReplyDeletelol Asik and Smith in full retard mode, Lin wont get many touches this quarter-.-
ReplyDeletehahahhaaha Harden elevating Lin's play.
ReplyDeleteLin looks tentative.. Need to get the jitters out
ReplyDeletehe better do it fast or else mchale's gonna bench his ass for Bev.
DeleteLin with a wide open miss
ReplyDeleteThey are not playing as a team...
ReplyDeleteLin had a good 3 stroke but in and out.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, good shot by Lin. Those will eventually fall.
Deleteoh god smith and asik are sooo bad wtf?!!!
ReplyDeleteWonder what McHell is going to say during this TO.
ReplyDeleteLin you suck, Bev get out there?
DeleteLOL
DeleteTell Lin to make wide open 3's
DeleteLin only missed One 3 so far. How many shots has Harden missed? Let's see ... 1,2,3 ..
DeleteOmg! This is not gonna be fun lol
ReplyDeleteWell, this was expected. All these players need to plant themselves in this game since is the first Playoff game for 3 of the 5 and first starting playoff game I believe for all 5. We just can't let the Thunder get way ahead in the first 5 minutes of the game.
ReplyDeletehi im new here
ReplyDeleteThe Rox are unpatient.
ReplyDeleteThey need to work for a good percentage shoot close to the rim first
Worst start you could have! Falling apart early, expecting Lin to get abused as usual. Harden is harden, ISO and no defense giving a wide open dunk to durant, Lin not playing rough defense with a quick foul (which should have been a charge)
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a charge.
DeleteIt is really a crazy atmosphere... They need to step back a little and calm down. Playing bad on d.. Offense too sticky.
ReplyDeleteLin playing great as a shooting guard!
ReplyDeleteHa right? If you have Parsons and Harden on the court, Lin should not be shooting that 3 ball at the end of the shot clock. He should be passing it to them.
DeleteMcHell's alternative universe coaching!
DeleteI feel kinda bad for HOU, they look so young and inexperienced.
ReplyDeleteLin with some bad turnovers to start the quarter, and then a missed 3, needs to do a better job of stopping Westbrook in transition.
ReplyDelete10-2 run? I thought it will be 10-0 run good job and great game plan McHale
ReplyDeleteLin was nervous. Failed pass, followed by unwise attempt to draw charge against KD. He'll settle down now. But picking up 1 foul already makes him give ground on defense.
ReplyDeleteSo I tuned in.
ReplyDeleteThen I said to myself: "why did you do that, you know how its gunna turn out"...3 minutes later its 2 - 10 OKC lead.
But I am still watching.
Oh yeah this Harden dominated offense is garbage, defense even worse. Parsons should not handle the ball, lol @ floater. And Lin is cooollldddd...
OKC win by blowout.
Refs are helping OKC too, giving them FT's for any contact.
DeleteFucking JLin's did a great job at taking the charge, no call, and Durant gets fucking shots.
DeleteLin looks really unsure of himself
ReplyDeleteHe's not dribbling the ball enough to even warm up yet.
DeleteNo he is just passing off when he has the ball
DeleteAnd, he's supposed to get the ball back.
DeleteBall is sticky.
ReplyDeleteC'mon Lin, don't be afraid. You gotta step up.
ReplyDeleteSomeone need to tell Lin this is what he has been working so hard for.
DeleteSef > Harden
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA another 3. Harden so was not needed at the post.
Harden haha go home blocked so hard.
Guess who will make the 1st shot
ReplyDeleteBev.
DeleteWe are in trouble.
ReplyDeletehi im new here
ReplyDeleteHi..welcome to this site
DeletePoint differential by half, over or under 20 pts?
ReplyDeleteLin really looked tentative...can't seem to make any play
ReplyDeleteThis team looks she'llshocked
ReplyDeleteLOL ASIK NEEDS FREETHROWS!!! 3 MISSES IN A ROW
ReplyDeleteLol baited or what...Lin was so not looking to shoot but draw fouls...
ReplyDeleteGo LIn!
ReplyDeleteDId I read that right his FG% is .49 now?
ReplyDeleteno, just against okc in their match ups.
DeleteDie by the 3.
ReplyDeleteSef is open all day?
ReplyDeletewhy the fuck is parsons dribbling the ball????
ReplyDeleteNow BOTH Harden AND Parson are dumping the ball on Lin with zero time on the shot clock!
Deletewtf? seriously.
DeleteHe's the only one open. The defense is still leaving him open and he just has to make those open shots.
DeleteWow long 3...TOo bad in and out.
ReplyDeleteParsons thinks he's Harden now.
Houston lose by 30?
Parsons couldn't beat his man.
Deleteduh, he can only beat steve black cause he's slow and like 10 inches shorter than parsons but against okc? he's needs to stop. He's not the white LBJ.
DeleteLin is just standing in the corner
ReplyDeleteLMAO at Harden.
ReplyDeleteSo guess he's not playing D now that he has a foul?
Absolutely no offensive rhythm at all
ReplyDeletebc we like variance and having parsons and harden handle the ball.
DeleteNobody on the Rockets knows how to set a pick to get anybody free. It's just turning into 1 on 1 ISO in the FIRST quarter.
DeleteTough defense
ReplyDeleteomg give the ball to lin more he finds POINTS!
ReplyDeleteduh.
DeleteFirst Assist
ReplyDeleteIs everyone trying to prove something.
ReplyDelete0 ball movement, even Lin. Everyone going ISO.
McHale playbook?
Mchale's plan for playoff:
Delete1.ISO
2.ISO
3.ISO
4.All else fail then keep ISO
Too much one on one.
ReplyDeleteLin has missed every shot. Bev will come in soon.
ReplyDeleteBut this is a type of game where u want Lin to play more and get more comfortable playing. Freaking McHale.
DeletePB makes Westbrook get much explosive
DeleteLin's missed every fg attempt he's made.
ReplyDeleteKeep him in to warm up
DeleteHouston is playing disorganized bball...that's what happens when you don't have an official PG
ReplyDeleteSmith picked up his 2nd foul.
ReplyDeleteHe will be out.
Defense is the key, and Rox need to nail the jumpers
ReplyDeleteIt's embarrassing there are so few onball or offball screens. People just standing around. What have the coaches been doing?
ReplyDeleteCoaches getting paid to do nothing.
DeleteLin said they added a couple new plays...
DeleteLin asked for pickpick and yet nobody came
ReplyDeleteHarden and Parsons won't set picks. Smith is young and Asik still has no clue how to set one.
DeleteLin needs to settle down.
ReplyDeletei think we're gonna be ok,hope they will set 2 screens for Jlin every possession,too much outside shooting right now.
ReplyDeleteBev coming in. Ibaka is beasting on the boards and on defense. Rockets really need a legit PF.
ReplyDeleteHarden the PG, Parsons the PG, Delfino the PG, not to mention Bev, anyone surprised? Game's over by the rate this is going.
ReplyDeletehonestly, Lin seems more calm/prepared/less anxious than Parsons/Harden. I can't put my finger on it...
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I just want them to give him the ball.
McHell made adjustments. Instead of ISO Harden, we are seeing ISO BIEBER AND ISO Harden.
ReplyDeleteOh.. That's the new wrinkles he said before ??
DeleteWho's the pg in this team? Every dawn player brings the ball down court.
ReplyDeletewe're not doing as bad as I thought...I thought the score would be worse.
ReplyDeleteDown 11 in the 1st quarter is very bad.
DeleteAs usual, Lin gets all the blame for Rockets playing bad, not making shots.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that guys like Lin they need to dribble a bit and warm up. Wait and you will see. Even though he missed he last shot I liked his dribble. They will be fine.
ReplyDeleteFirst Q of first playoff game jitters. Everyone including Lin look so tense out there. Maybe it'll take a whole Q for them to get used to playoff environment.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope so.
DeleteBev in at 2:58. Let's guess when Lin comes back...
ReplyDelete4 mins left in 2Q
DeletePB in .. He will play almost in 2nd and 3rd qurater then 4th quarter wholly.
ReplyDeleteEven though Delfino missed that shot. That was good ball movement. but that DEFENSE!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
ReplyDeleteOk, I am seeing this as a good start by Lin. Had a bad pass off the bat but he tried his style. He is playing very good defense. Remember, Lin has had more pressure on him than anyone and he has succeeded time and time again.
ReplyDeleteI think he starts taking over by 3rd quarter if its close. The entire Rockets team looks tight.
Lol Rox getting killed on offense and defense.
ReplyDeleteWide open 3s all night.
Wow WB eating PB alive.
ReplyDeleteActually Harden...Then PB...Cause Hardne didn't wanna take on WB and called PB with his back turned.
DeleteLol...
You see how Bev gets burned like that? Khuang's right.
ReplyDeleteCan't let WB pick up speed, Lin does great stopping him at the perimeter.
DeletePB didn't even see it coming lol.
Jlin needs to be there,there's no way Beverly is better than him,give him 2 minutes for a breather that's it,this is playoff no time for phasing the players too much
ReplyDeletelol beverly can't stop westbrook
ReplyDeletePB WTF !! Why Mchale love this guy so much ?seriously i can't find PB gets any better things than Jlin ...
ReplyDeleteMaybe Lin can take this time to regroup.
ReplyDeleteThey got to get the lead down to below 10 for the second quarter. I think that's pretty good if they can get it below 10.
ReplyDeleteWow, BEV is just got blown by twice by Westbrook and k think Westbrook will attack BEV like crazy
ReplyDeleteLin is back?
ReplyDeleteLin is back with Asik!!
ReplyDeleteLin back in?
ReplyDeleteIf Mchale will marginalized Jlin this game,there's no way we're winning.
ReplyDeleteweird rotation, harden can't even guard martin, smh
ReplyDeleteJames Harden defense for you guys. speechless
ReplyDeleteHou gettin schooled.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't harden know how to move w/o the ball?
ReplyDeleteHarden ISO to close
ReplyDeleteLin on the floor with Harden and Beverley... WHY??
ReplyDeleteI mean its good that Lin is back but doesn't McHale have any set rotations? So random.
ReplyDeletehahaha, I think thats Mchale's game plan rotation at randon
DeleteWow.. PB just got 2 point and Mchale cant be happier with this even though he makes Westbrook get explosive
ReplyDeleteNice to see the three guys in together. Like to see Lin and Bev going wild on these guards - good defensive energy
ReplyDeleteFLOP HARDEN i hate that shit
ReplyDeleteLol Lin in then out again. Wtf is with this rotation.
ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't matter how you start but how you finish. Only by 7 to finish the first quarter is actually GREAT for the Rockets and how they are playing. Let the players warm up a little bit more and this will get very interesting soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd now Lin out again? WTF is he doing?
ReplyDeleteNo second foul for Lin thats why, but of course Bev gets scored on easily
DeleteBev is not a good defender
Deletehe took Lin out bc Bev scored and Durant came back in. He wanted Parsons on Durant.
DeleteHTF do you get into the rhythm of playing consistently if you get substituted like that ? is there a method to this madness ??
DeleteNo then why even bring Lin in with 3 min left. It's really weird what McHale is doing.
Deletelin has one foul, not two.
DeleteRox soooo lucky OKC missed a lot of shots. Hopefully they got the jitters out and start playing their game.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Kinda feel like OKC is messing with us. Preserving their energy for the next round.
DeleteSo much for beverly's defense. West and Reggie are just blowing by him.
ReplyDeleteHope second quarter starts with Lin and Anderson Garcia TJones and Delfino.
ReplyDeleteThunders threw the 1 st punch and we took it okay.
ReplyDeleteHarden is looking confident. I want to see Lin come back in with more confidence. This is a great start for the Rox somehow.
ReplyDeleteHope the shots start falling for Lin and the guys. They need to come down and start throwing their punches
ReplyDeleteI hope Mchale will sit Harden and Beverly and let Lin run the team,he can put Garcia,Parsons,Asik,TJones,I think this is the best line up that the Rox have.
ReplyDeleteharden's gonna play 45min.
DeleteLin was in and then out fast.
ReplyDeleteI hope Mchale will sit Harden and Beverly and let Lin run the team,he can put Garcia,Parsons,Asik,TJones,I think this is the best line up that the Rox have.
ReplyDeleteMcHell looks medicated.
ReplyDeleteNice steal by PB
ReplyDeleteLin is not coming back 1st half?
Damn Lin can't hit shit.
ReplyDeleteCome on Lin ! Missed all the shots.
ReplyDelete0/4 Lin
ReplyDeleteNice hocky pass tho
Making things Happen!
DeleteLin needs to catch and shoot on that. He is cooild. He needs to pick it up if the Rox want to have a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteLin with the D or what.
ReplyDeleteNice, 2pt game.
good D LIn,lets go!
ReplyDeleteGood take on the charge.
ReplyDeleteI hope Harden willmove,cut and used screens not just waiting for the ball
ReplyDeletethat's not his thing. I hear you though.
DeleteAt this pace Rox starters will foul out by 3rd quarter.
ReplyDeleteOKC playing like garbage all the sudden lol.
Lol Harden broke his own ankles.
ReplyDeleteThat fino 3 was ice cold!
ReplyDeleteLol KMart answers.
ReplyDeleteNice dunk by asik over collison.
ReplyDeleteEveryone out is playing point guard except Lin "The Point Guard" Shrugz
ReplyDeleteIs McHale stupid or what, is he only using a 7 men rotation?
ReplyDeleteHarden is a liability right now
ReplyDeleteWow Lin got caught half asleep fisher nails a 3.
ReplyDeleteNo, Lin had to help stop dribble penetration.
DeleteNo, he was helping to defense the penetration, stop taliking craps
DeleteWth is lin doing... smh
ReplyDeleteat least he got fouled...that's something.
DeleteThat's why they need Lin on the court.
ReplyDeleteLin has to stop the help defense, everyone in OKC can shoot, why leave fisher open? I hate when he does that, does coaches want him to do that?
ReplyDeleteagree..
DeleteIt's a problem of Lin's.
DeleteI think Bev is off to a great start. Not good for Lin. I think Lin can do a better job but he is really not given the chance. He needs to drive a little more. The jumpers will start falling.
ReplyDeleteThis coach has no knowledge of the game,hope someone will show him a lot of Spurs playbook
ReplyDelete
