Houston's now on a 7 game losing streak with Jeremy Lin as their starting PG. The starting PG position is a position of leadership. And Jeremy Lin is currently failing in Houston. Only 9 points after shooting 4/12 against the Hornets, along with 5 Turnovers to make it even worse? An awful, more like a horrible 2/13 shooting with only 7 points during a 7 point loss against the 76ers? Being out played/performed by a backup in Bledsoe during CP's absence? Being out played by Rondo? Now last night going 3/12 (horrible) with only 12 points against Minny? Only 2 assists when compared to 3 turnovers? Yet another Jeremy Lin/Houston loss. Basketball is a team game yes, but Jeremy Lin himself is a big time reason why Houston's dropped seven consecutive. A big reason why at that.

Jeremy Lin, as a starting PG, has been nothing but mediocre dating back to last season. 6 game losing streak with our Knicks last season followed by already losing 7 consecutive here in 2012-2013. Sat out the entire playoffs. This kid isn't a winner. A below average and/or mediocre record of 36-32 as a starting PG thus far. How about we watch Lin begin to lead his teams to victories, on a consistent basis before talking him up as some type of "must have PG" in which our Knicks front office let walk. And rightfully so too. Especially considering the fact that Houston paid out millions upon millions of dollars for A.) A kid who's never won in this league. B.) Was sleeping on a couch last season and C.) Doesn't deserve and/or never earned the type of money he's currently getting.

My guess tells me, that Houston over paid for a player who's never been a leader, has never shown leadership ability, and will never become a true leader. But yea, it was nice to check the scoreboard and see that both Chicago and Atlanta lost. Just can't get over the fact that Jeremy Lin was made out to be some type of can't miss prospect and/or anything other than a dime a dozen type of NBA career journeyman. No different than Chris Copeland. You put Copeland on another team outside of the Knicks, and ask him to score points, and Copeland would put up buckets as a 28 year old rookie.

If the Rockets continue their losing ways with Lin under control (starting PG), Jeremy Lin himself will be considered one of the most overrated career journeyman of all-time heading into next season. At the age of 24, Lin should be better than this. Much better than this to say the least. Kid's like Kyrie Irving are dropping 23.1 points and 5.7 assists per game at the age of only 20... Please, never let me see someone use Irving and the Cavs as an excuse to Lin's current situation there in Houston.

Houston is 21-21 in the West. What were your expectations of the team at this point?

You also declared that the starting PG position was one of leadership and then equated Lin with a player who is a leader and in a position to win games by himself despite his teams roster; I don't recall those assumptions being right or relevant.

Also, being outplayed by Rondo a devastating matter?

This is Lin's first full season? With a team that is mediocre at best and is 21-21 out west. What were your expectations of him? I don't think they are set right.

Source says that the Memphis Grizzlies may keep Rudy Gay, and instead trade Zach Randolph to the Houston Rockets. Houston loves Randolph.

If the Rockets land Randolph and keep Harden they have a shot at the second round out west which is a huge accomplishment.

Randolph, Asik, and Parsons is a great frontline.

excellent point martin.... as i mentioned earlier, with or without harden, the rockets are pretty much exceeding everyone's expectations...

Really, they supposedly got better players than Dragic and Martin yet they are on pace with last year give or take. It's still time to turn it around but that low expectations stuff can go

They have space for a max contract FA. Being a .550 playoff team in the west should attract FAs better than being a lottery team with the 15th pick (only a few spots higher up) would.

Nah money and Harden should do the same

They also lost scola as well, this is a young rocket team, the youngest in the league. they got more talented but also younger, and this is what happens with young teams.. the key is, the longterm outlook for this team is very good. The team prior with scola, martin and dragic really was as good as it was going to get.....

But they're younger with more cap room. They did what we were always told here was the hard part - get a franchise player - and now just have the easier job of getting a supporting cast.

They did what we were trying to do before adding an uninsured Amare entering his 30s. Where they got it right is they added a 23yr franchise player

bingo!!! they had a plan, stuck to it, were patience and executed.. so far, so good...

Rockets got lucky. Rarely do teams trade 23yr top 5 franchise talent. Kudos to them for going after a start who was masquerading as a 6th man.

More conventional way is to build through high lottery picks. Something the Knicks had a chance at for over a decade and squandered every single time
