VS 
Wow…it’s been so long since I did a post, my website actually asked me to log back in….smdh. I hope all my readers did not forget about me, I apologize to have left some of you without a fangirl sports site. My real life has taken over so much that I barely even have time to watch the games!! Of course I missed tonight’s game also…ugh which I hate but I was following along with the score on my phone and trying to hide my excitement before everyone thought I was crazy. I will post up all the highlights that I can find for now and I will be fangirling with everyone else, since I will also be seeing these plays for the first time.
FINAL SCORE: Spurs with 134 and Rockets with 126
So the Rockets lost….do I care??? Ummmm NO!!! because my boys played their hearts out and my Jeremy showed them that he still has it in him to be a superstar!! They even went into OT and this is against the Spurs!!! The Spurs are not any old shabby team. And Jeremy was hitting his 3pters and everything…OMG…I already know it was so freakin beautiful, even if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. He even outscored Tony Parker!! I’m just fangirling from reading the score…I can’t imagine my reaction if I would have seen the game!! (OMG…this Real Life crap is not working for me. I can’t believe my baby tied his all time record and I missed it!!! OMG…there is something wrong with this picture!!!)
(This is me doing my “polite” fangirling while out in public, so that I don’t embarrass and ruin the reputation of my host body.)
Top 5 Scorers: I know you are about to see my top 5 scorers, but I still wanted to point out who is #1 in points. Yah, just in case you didn’t know….Jeremy is #1 tonight!!!!
1) Lin: 38pts
2) Asik: 21pts
3) Parsons: 20 pts
4) Douglas: 17 pts
5) Morris: 13pts
Harden was out with a sprained right ankle and I think this helped push Jeremy a little bit. I feel like when the other “big” players are out of the picture, it forces him to take control of the ball and to become the superstar of the team again…and I think that’s what happened tonight. There has also been talking of removing Jeremy from his Starter position and I’m sure no matter how much Jeremy tries to act like these types of things don’t effect him….I know from how he took his move to the D league as a personal reflection on his skills…that moving him to a bench position would have effected his ego, and thus probably his playing time and swag on the court. I hope he has more games like tonight where he can prove to everyone that he still has it in him to play big.
Highlights: These were the only ones I could find for right now. If anyone discovers any more, can you please send them to me so I can upload them here for everyone to view. Thanks!!

I know even when Jeremy plays like this…it won’t shut the haters up, but I hope this will help ease his fans and I hope tonight’s game helped him remember who he is and what he can do!!!
We LOVE and SUPPORT you always Jeremy!!!
I miss all my Lin Ladies and Lin Lads very much!!! I hope to get back to my regular scheduling and back to posting again very soon. Thanks for waiting it out with me!!
LMAO It’s not even six a.m. in Denmark! Welcome back, K and WELCOME BACK, JEREMY!
Wohoo!
Okay, calming down, it was a tough loss, but damn, it’s nice to see that stat line. I had tears!
I know Fauxy!! I was at a networking event and I kept checking my phone and trying not to freak out…smdh!!! I am so unbelievable happy for him and I know all his other fans are so proud and happy as well!!
Chris, I was hoping to wake you up with my ALL CAPS RED FONT email msg but guess you’re still doing the Pacquiao *sleeping* JK! I love PacMan, JLin…Asians rule!
Asians Rule!!!!! So proud to be Asian!!!
I am not a Pacman fan, actually. LOL
HOUSTON – Chandler Parsons called it, “the look.” Equal parts ferocious and fierce, it is the expression that dominates Jeremy Lin’s face when he ascends to that place where every shot feels as if it will fall and bad puns are born at an exponential rate. For perhaps the first time this season, Parsons saw his good friend and teammate don the guise that transformed him into an international phenomenon on the Broadway stage this past February prior to the completion of the circuitous journey that brought him back to Houston. http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/jeremy-lin-and-return-look
Uhm, this is “THE LOOK” http://bit.ly/SNJtLw
@mber…thanks for the pic…u know I love his fierce look!!
Not Bill Walton @NotBillWalton
Jeremy Lin finishes with 38 points, 7 assists, 2 turnovers….and 11 days until the Mayans officially end life as we know it.
LMAO!
That’s what you get when you bench him foools! =]
@mber OMG…that tweet you just posted is hilarious!!! well if the world ends in 11 days…at least the world will know that Jeremy can still ball hard!!
Welcome back K! Welcome back dear JLin! I love you Jeremy! I love you too K! That’s all I can say right now. Still trying to breathe normally.
@GiaKiem!! Thanks so much!! I really did miss all of yall…and yes i had to catch my breath too lol!!
K, thanks so much for your report.
It’s great that I watched Jeremy tied his record high upon returning to office! You know I dreamed of his game on my flight home on Sunday and in the dream he made a sensational play that I can still remember that he scored 48! Knowing all those negative reports about him I do feel he has been hurt too much. Some suggested to trade him for Gasol so he could play under D’Antoni’s coaching. That’s naive so far. Jeremy, in his entire NBA career, could play for many coaches and teams like he has already done. I believe he will not set himself as a PG who can play only one system, he will adjust, improve, and thrive. Tony Parker said Jeremy is like what he was at the same stage of career.
QUOTE
” It’s his first full year,” Parker said. “There is a lot of attention on him. I think you have to be patient with his growth. When I first came into the league, I was a little raw. I was very aggressive. At the same time, I had to learn the point guard position and when to score, when to pass and try to find that happy middle, find the balance. I think Jeremy Lin is at that point. He’s trying to find his position on the team. And he needs to fit with another guy who is very aggressive with James Harden. I had to do the same thing when I had Manu Ginobili being super aggressive. You have to find your spots. He will.”
UNQUITE
I appreciate what Parker said. This must encourage Jeremy a lot.
If I could talk to Jeremy directly, I would tell him just to be himself, to play with a peaceful mind, to stand up to any challenge and face any uncertainty like he faces the sunrise of each day.
He makes my day today!!!
welcome back ic!! I hope your business trip went well!! And I think Parker’s quote and advice to JLin was very insightful. Jeremy is going through a rough patch and I think people aspect alot out of him but they forget how “new” he still is to the NBA. He will soon adjust and find his constant rhythm.
Hi K, I was on vacation this time, haha.
Bad news is that Jeremy hurt his ankle again (this time the left one) today in practice and not sure if he can play tomorrow. Just hope he’ll be fine. God cannot be that cruel to him.
@ic…oh vacation sounds good!! Glad you took some time off!
and I didn’t think his sprain was that bad because he seemed to just walk it off. I wonder if it got worse after he sat down and stopped playing?? That’s a shame if he’s out but I would rather he keep his body healthy!
Agree, IC. At the end of the day, it is the opinion of people like Tony Parker and Lebron James that matters. They are elite NBA players, they know what they’re talking about.
WOW! amazing stats for JLIN!!!
@Fauxy, we have the same feeling..i cried tears of joy…
I miss Linsanity and I miss you AnnaK!!!
@Rubielyn…so glad you could wake up to good news!! I missed you too though you know how to always reach me lol
Oh dear, BabyLin is angry.
Joseph Lin @Joelinsta
That is how my brother can play. When HE’S in control of the ball, and NO ONE else.
He has spunk! LOL
that’s bc BabyLin can say things that Jeremy can’t really say bc Jeremy doesn’t want to offend his teammates or his coaches.
Yeah, Lin Shu-Wei has spunk! He should…Jer used to beat him up on a regular basis! And then elder bro Josh would beat up Jer for beating up BabyLin. LOL! These brothers! I heard they also have fangirls on Twitter, true?
The URL is dead now but I once read an interview in the Paly Voice where Joe said that he doesn’t know where he will be/what he will do with his life without Jeremy. Wow. =]
Ooooh… I was missing you and your posts! Glad I checked today, so happy for him. For some reason him doing well is like me doing well…. Except I’m actually not at the moment :/ …. But hopefully things will change for me for the better too. Don’t work yourself too hard!!
I hope you get over your “slump”, turtlek.
You’re so right in having confidence in Jeremy. Today, I was overjoyed and felt like I was crying/shouting inside. I told myself it’s is such a memorable day–to a Lin fan! The game means much more to me than any Linsanity game last season, when I barely knew him. Honestly, I didn’t expect there to be so much drama in Jeremy’s basketball career in Houston, considering the huge success he already had. I also wouldn’t know I’d be dragged on such a bittersweet journey, being so emotionally invested as Jeremy struggled. It’s been a test of faith, and I probably have failed. But I’m glad to find it’s over. From now on, I should just try to be hopeful, tough, and cheerful, as all you Lin ladies have been.
I saw the results at 5 a.m. and I had tears in my eyes. Yes, it’s so weird to be this invested in a “stranger” – I’m not usually like this at all! SMH
@ashley…you are still a Lin fan, even if you are sometimes doubtful of him. Come on, I mean even Jeremy is sometimes doubtful of himself. I also didnt expect there to be so much drama and I also honestly didn’t expect his games to be up and down and so inconsistent…but a part of that helps remind me that he’s a real person and that keeps things exciting when I am watching his games. Every time I hope for the Linsanity Jeremy to return but when I also see glimpse of his struggle, it actually makes him more endearing to me.
It’s alright, Ashley. You’re not alone. I ‘fess up…I doubted Jer as well…went 60-/40+. When someone is that diplomatic–it can be hard to see the whole truth. It’s about the real state of his health, off a major injury. But see, it turns out this is not the problem. The coaches are. And I have no thorough understanding of their job to fully berate them *grrrr*.
All those three days I doubted JLin, I am one sad ugly mess. My face broke out, zits! I will not doubt him again. Beauty comes first. =]
Thanks! Things did actually get better today… Must be power of Jeremy Lin magic
Cool!
I missed you too Turtlek!! His game totally made my night. I know we are all going through “real life” issues but I hope he helped make your night a little better too! Hang in there Turtlek!!
Hehe thanks! *Hug*
LADIES! CHECK THIS OUT!
from j017823: http://youtu.be/q5POfdpkW5c
I LOVE this video!!! I had to update my post with it!!
Haha I was just gonna post it too…. So hilarious, ESP the ‘singing’ at the end. How come there’s a couple clips I don’t recognize? Has he released any new videos recently?
I believe I’m one of the oldest Lin girl fans out there at 29 YO. I’ve fought some Lin haters till I got blue in the face, but I love these two posts from the Spurs-Rockets basketball game:
Wizards-Rockets
username: KJ – “@Me – check your comment – “Or a shoot first PG like Stephon Marbury was.” point guards are not always the first option in scoring. point guards swing from ball-handler to scorer only when there is heavy pressure from defense. so what if he swings between a pass-first and scorer? if the point guard is the first option to score, that is not basketball; that is ballhogging. also, aren’t assists counted as stats when converted into points? so you’re saying, Jeremy has to assist and convert that assist himself so it can be counted as HIS assist?”
username: Cuzzdogg – “The Rockets were playing well with Lin. I kept expecting to see him come back in the game to help build up a large margin again. Lin was moving the ball very well…and should have had another 8 assists if his fellow team mates were hitting their open shots. Bad move Mchale…bad move leaving your best rotating guard, who was hustling down loose balls, on the bench. And think about all the turnovers from the Rockets…just dribbling to half court…totally unacceptable McHale.
I am not even a LIn fan…nor a Rockets fan…I just watched the game last night and was so appalled that I wanted to comment.
The beginning of the game was where Lin’s (+/-) was a major negative…but by the middle of the 3rd quarter that figure had considerably reversed. I watched Lin move the ball well…allowing his team mates to be involved in the game…penetrating and finding the open player…rotating the ball around the perimeter. GEEZ….Lin was 2-4 shooting 2-3 three point shots…had 1 turnover…HAD 2 STEALS…rallied the team to a comfortable lead…only to be benched in the 4th quarter. I watched with friends in disbelief…that McHale would not put him back in…then we assumed he was just injured. I told everyone in the sports bar they were going to lose the game without LIN’s effort in the game. And they did!!! Douglas had the same amount of assists as Lin in nearly double the minutes. MCHALE COULD PLAY BALL…but he is no chess playing coach!!!!”
@michelle…I don’t know why I am just now seeing this new comment!! 1…you are NOT the oldest fangirl out there, trust me lol. I know a few who are married with children and are just as die-hard fans
and 2…thanks for sharing these 2 posts….especially Cuzzdog’s comment. I think everyone was thinking…”what is wrong with McHale?!” and “why is Lin being benched?!”
