Ding, Ding, Ding. Winner.
Let's not talk about not being the third best, when Lin is 9th on Houston's team in regards to Player Efficiency Rating at only 14.1. As I stated earlier, thank god for James Harden because if not for Harden himself? Jeremy Lin would be running a lottery NBA team.
A Player Efficiency Rating of only 14.1? That's Kurt Thomas for ya. Even Pablo's at 12.8 lol.
Who cares if they'd be really bad without Harden? They have him!
Exactly. And Lin still can't lead his team to victory as a starting NBA PG. About to be .500 after tonight while riding a 7 game losing streak. With the PG position also comes lots of responsibility and leadership. Jeremy Lin doesn't have these qualities and should be a backup PG this stage of his career. Far from quality starting material.

He really doesn't play that much to truly be judged.
There has been quite a few #2 unworthies.....Stromile Swift immediately comes to mind.

Again, my question was, Why should we care how bad they'd be without Harden? It's like saying Seinfeld wouldn't be so funny without all the jokes!
Wow, McHale starts the second Half with Beverly at the point. They just signed him a week pr two ago. That sucks for Lin. Also, I guess Toney D is in the dog house too because Beverly has been getting his minutes. Houston is playing a depleted Minny team and losing so far. It's early but this is time for Harden to step up and get his team a victory.

I honestly think McHale has a short patience with Lin.
Beverly was kinda of funny over picking up a tech on the bench.
Nate just hit a bank shot 3 against the Grizzlies to put them ahead by 3pts and guess what he did after he made the 3?
Take a guess anyone....
these baby bulls play hard every single night. Forget talent, this is pure effort and executing a gameplan.
McHale needs to be fired.
Rockets went from the most prolific offense to the worst offense in the matter of 2weeks...SHEESH they look brutal right about now....

They have a great coach.
Does anyone want to take a guess what Little Nathan did after he made a 3 to make the score 75-72?
I am gonna flip if the Bulls win another close game!
Grizz up 1 with 34secs left

Wow. I was watching the game earlier and it looked like there was no way the griz could lose.
Special Nate cost them the game nice! NBATV

He was a wreck at the end. Then again Thibs sat Noah for a while, must have pissed him off something fierce because they were getting battered on the boards down the stretch.

They stopped running and a lot of iso harden. They went back to corner Lin.

That's not what I saw. Lin had his chances but right now he can't shoot. He should probably study a little Andre Miller although he doesn't exactly have the same body type but he needs to learn how to play below the 3pt line.

Not sure what chances you are talking about. Event the rocket announcers were saying that rockets are not moving without the ball and is just watching harden or whoever has the ball. Lin is a PnR PG yet they don't set a proper screen to him.

LOL. cosign, i actually watch the game and I agree, nobody could hit a shot but Delfino(?)so twolves really packed the paint and slowed the game down.
The amazing baller who is a notch below LeBron and Durant and much higher than someone else is now shooting 15-60 and has 13 TOs in his last 3 games. Say what. That dude must be hurt or on a fast or something. Is that chucking? Wait i need to check his Fts to see if he is really shooting bad. J/k. Harden needs to wake up fast.
All this talk about strength of schedule just to have the Rockets lose to Wolves for the third time.
