    I have a hunch Lin is thinking about the upcoming Knicks game, and totally lost focus. When I think he's playing bad, he's playing bad. That stretch in the 2nd quarter was the worst I've seen from him. And I've followed him since he was a starter with the Knicks.

    My fear is Lin might go into "Lamar Odom" mode, when Odom was on the Mavs. A player whose game turns out to be incompatible with the team's system. And when a player comes to that realization, he's lost forever.

    This is what sucks the most. I hate playing "what if" but we could've had Harden, Asik Parsons, Scola, Dragic starting 5...... sigh

    Still with Jones, Ppat, Smith, Morris off the bench

    Nor I. I keep hoping he'll get it together but so far it's not happening. No dominant PnR big man in Amare/Chandler or reliable 3 pt shooter (Novak) from the NY days on our team...but he still shouldn't be performing this badly...right? meh.

    Lin has no confidence whatsoever, you can tell by his body language. I never seen a player play so poorly after playing as well as Lin did last year…amazing!

    We are still only down 4 pts and that was with a craptastic shooting performance by most of the team! if we turn the dial from a "2" to a "5" in effort, we win. Bulls aren't doing much better shooting. Feed the Beard and keep the hot hand in the game sampson!!

    Thinks for reminding me, I had completely forgotten that Dragic and Lowry played for the Rockets.

    When Toney Douglas and Nate Robinson are outplaying you, you're in trouble.

    we gave up Martin + Lamb (both 2s) for Harden, also a 2. Along with picks that won't make a difference until later.

    So...we hardly made the team worse. In fact, for the future, the team is MUCH BEtTER OFF.

    lin could be tanking on purpose subconsciously, he said now he can go in public without having to wear dark glasses and hiding, etc.

    Nate Robinson, yes. Toney Douglas? No way. Lin might have had that stretch of horrible possessions, but TD is still worse (and that's depressing).
