Where are all the Lin-bashers today?

Good game by the Lin-led Rockets.

Spurs out-executed the Rockets in the end, but it was very fun to watch. The fact that Lin is flashing this kind of ability despite only having 45 career starts is a good sign for his future.

I can’t help but think that had Lin been able to stay with the Knicks, Jason Kidd would have worked with him to get to the next level at the PG position. It seems to be working with Felton, that’s for sure! I do hope that Lin comes back to form and finds a way to play consistently well.

Reduce Peterson and Delfino’s shots and more for Lin. It’s good to see Peterson is improving offensively, but it’s coming at the expense of Lin not being involved much. The best scorers/players on the team should lead the team in shot attempts, sort of like OKC or Milwaukee’s offense. Houston would win more if they revolved their offense around Lin and Harden and get those other guys to focus more on D. It would be a matchup nightmare for teams to have to defend both; Lin’s proven he can dominate if he gets the opportunity to do so.

It’s kinda mind boggling to see Delfino continues to get plenty of minutes and currently average just as many shot attempts as Lin while having a terrible FG %. He hasn’t shot well at all when they’ve played winning/good defensive teams (tonight vs SA, Atl, Mavs, Heat, Portland, Mem)

Spurs caught a break that Lin went four flat; Green wasn’t going to let him get a clean shot over the top like he did against LA. Good game from Lin though he showed promise, especially as a PnR player. Be interesting to see how him and Harden adapt to each other.
Great finish to the game by Tony Parker. In addition to his usual stellar play, he seems to have added a knack for hitting clutch, 4th-quarter threes. The Spurs will be even more exciting if they can surround Duncan with 4 three-point threats (Tony, Manu, Jackson when healthy, and Green or Neal).
