GS shot 48% from the field with a FTR of 35% (league average is 27), had a TO-R of only 12, and lost by thirty-one. When that Rockets team gets out and runs, they are tough to beat. we should know.

EDITED TO ADD: Although reading about the game now, I don’t think he’d have a guy foul a guy that hard, though.

Z-man:
Lin with a Linsanity-type game tonight!

He play at Miami tomorrow so that should put end to it.

Count de Pennies: Agreed.

Foghat, at its best, was never more than a slightly above average bar band.

Lauding an A-game from Melo by comparing it to “early Foghat” is the very definition of damnation by faint praise. The NBA equivalent of a Foghat would be someone like Jamal Crawford – a dime-a-dozen talent who’s capable of brief moments of transcendence once every blue moon or so.

My appologies…..I was thinking of “little feat”

I just dumped my season tickets for 50% of face value.
