He's a no nonsense, straight up BIG.... Doesn't cry, complain... Just does his job and a double double machine....

3.5ast
49% FG
39% 3PT

Yeah David Lee is awesome. If you're going to hate someone on the squad, Andrew Bogus is a good place to start.

Litos · 02-06-2014, 12:05 PM

Rockets beating up on the Suns last night.....

Dwight got big last night 34pts and 14reb

Harden with 23 points of his own...

Parsons is still our glue guy with 19 points, 6 ast and 3-3 from behind the arc....

and Terrence Jones, that dude has cemented himself as our starting PF for the future....

Rockets 33-17

SSW · 02-06-2014, 02:39 PM

Well, the stats don't back up your dislike for Lin and what do you have to say about his Triple Double (off the bench) w/only 29 mins of play against Cleveland the other day? Even Harden gave him kudos for that!

Yeah, I know . . . an aberration.

Fact is, when used, Lin can score 16+ points a game, his defense is often better than Beverly's and his TO's are fewer than Harden's or Howard's. When Lin is in the game, the ball moves and the team isn't standing around "watching" Harden in ISO mode. He's also one of the most efficient players in the league in terms of points per shot, which is particularly important since McHale has him on such a short leash and plays him so inconsistently.

No resolving the "debate" about Lin here but I couldn't let your rant against him go unopposed. I just hope that your wish is granted and that Lin is traded away from Houston to a team that appreciates his talent and actually makes use of it.

We'll see in a couple of weeks if that's going to happen or not AND, if not, we'll both be unhappy -- you, because Lin is still in Houston and me, because I think Lin is wasted there.

he's a scoring PG, but he can't score enough or assist enough to get playing time over a rookie that spent time overseas last year....

Beverly has pretty much come in and taken his job....

he's too expensive for the production we are getting from him anyways.....

I'm sure he's a legit starting PG in this league somewhere, but I wouldn't mind bringing in Rondo with Beverly as the backup.....

...because after all, the Rockets can't go anywhere without a legit PG, which we are currently looking for right now...

of course - his first triple double in the 3 years he's been in the league

I agree

false - very false

there is a starting PG and a backup PG on this team that have better Assist/Turnover ratios than Lin. there is also a starting SF and a backup SG that have better Assist/Turnover ratios than Lin.

i'll take Harden giving me more turnovers than Lin, as long as he's getting 23-27pts a night and getting to the free-throw line 10-12 times a game.....

I agree - still doesn't mean he's our PG of the future...

I'm hoping we trade him, because any other team that gets him, will understand that he is NOT capable of leading a team deep into the playoffs and you can pretty much write off that team as being contenders....

I don't think he's trash - I just think we have a better PG on our team and I believe we will make a run at an elite PG for the future of the Rockets.....

if that means trading our back-up PG, then so be it.....

grimlock · 02-06-2014, 05:43 PM

Haha, Lin does not play D.

MediaArtist · 02-07-2014, 11:59 AM

This is what is killing the NBA, soft as shit refs. WTF was this ref thinking calling an offensive foul?

If you believe that, you obviously haven't watched him play and accept as "fact" all the nonsense that is spoken or written about him.

2 million Houstonians have watched him play.

or even a bone crushing OLB in the NFL....

CP3 is back!

Clips just scored the highest amount of points in a quarter this season.

Litos · 02-10-2014, 10:49 PM

Rockets beat up on the Wolves....

I think that makes 6 wins in a row by the Rockets...

complete game all around - all starters in double figures....

Rockets 35-17 and tied for the 4th seed with the Clippers......

Efini · 02-11-2014, 01:58 AM

As long as the heat don't win it all this year ill be happy. Id like to see a Pacers vs Thunder final. Also tired of seeing the Spurs up in the mix every year, they are very well coached though. I'm in LA and we aren't happy campers as of late but hopefully we get some more pieces. Love? Melo? Both? We need help is almost every position, sadly. Also need a new coach. Damn this isn't acceptable I see some big changes coming in the near future.

Let's be honest. In terms of revenue, and fan base, SoCal is the NBA. The Lakers will not be like this for long.
