Player Report Cards: Jeremy Lin

The Dream Shake — So, I've been dreading this piece since I came up with the idea to do report cards because you just know any write up relating to Jeremy Lin where a critique is possible is going to blow up the comments and my Twitter but you can't back down, right? Ah well, it's been my favorite narrative on the year and I refuse to be anything other than honest with you guys, so here goes nothing. Jeremy came to the Rockets over the summer on a deal that would have cost the Knicks 80 million or so with luxury tax penalties (Funny enough Madison Square Garden stock dropped 90 million dollars when ne...

Can Jeremy Lin keep up Linsanity next to Harden? Can Omer Asik play starter minutes? Who will be our back-up PG? Will Chandler Parsons have a ‘sophomore slump'?

Game 5: How much Aaron Brooks?

The Dream Shake — Public Service Reminder: Aaron Brooks is on the Rockets and played 16 minutes in Game 4. Tonight, Rockets fans should treat Brooks and his 15 minutes of run like an ex-boy/girlfriend. Don't be surprised if he reminds you that you once loved him. Jeremy Lin is a game-time decision for tonight's Game 5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lin left Game 2 with a bruised chest and started Game 3, but was obviously hampered and left the game for an ice wrap. Rockets fans can probably agree the Lin that started in Game 3 shouldn't take the court in Game 5. We applaud his desire to grit it ou...

NBA Blog | Houston Chronicle — Rockets guard Jeremy Lin’s last-chance effort to play in Game 4 on Monday against the Thunder never came close. He knew it wouldn’t.

Harden struggles, but Parsons lifts Rockets to thrilling game four win over Thunder

The Dream Shake — With Jeremy Lin in a suit on the bench and James Harden completely ineffective in the early going, things were not looking good for the Rockets on Monday night. Then, in something of a surprise, a dashingly handsome, tall, chiseled figure atop a galloping stallion entered from stage right. His breath smelled of corndogs, but he said he was ready to help in any way possible. That knight was Chandler Parsons, and in game four, he delivered the performance of his young career, willing the Rockets to a tremendous victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The second year forward, expected by ...
