    They are shooting 37% yet they are only down 4. Game over once their FG% goes up and it will be.

    How is Lin our answer for more rebounds?

    Who's he going to pass to though? Delfino's the only one to show up tonight.

    And the Grizz are better than the Blazers. Plus the Grizz are at home. I expect an epic beatdown by the Grizz in the second half.

    Is Mchell not giving the Lin the green light? Seems like it.

    I think both Harden and Lin played well in the 1st half. 3a, 19p, 10/10 from the FT line. Yes, 5to but how many fouls did they draw? A bit disappointed on the offensive though 3 vs 11...

    You're irrelevant on this board. Stop looking for attention.

    You have serious problems if you don't understand blatant sarcasm.

    Asik and Parsons are playing great defense on some of their best guys...not a foregone conclusion that is going to go up, we'll see though.

    I was honestly excited for Lin to be a first option like he was, and hoped he'll revive Linsanity. Either he was just a flash in the pan, or his confidence/playstyle has completely changed after being forced to defer to Harden and is now content with just sitting and being passive.

    From what I remember, Lin was a emotional player. When he was in rhythm and flow, he thrived. He needed the ball in his hands a lot as the 1st option, and had the green light along with the PNR with Chandler every play while his whole team supported to have him shoot up a good shot. He lacks that here, and Houston Rockets management has shown they don't trust Lin, and won't even allow him to be a good 2nd option.

    Wonder how it would have turned out with Harden not coming here, would Lin be allowed to transform into a #1 legit option? Even as a 3rd option last year, he was still decent...right now he looks worse game after game
