SOUNDBITE (English) Jeremy Lin, Houston Rockets Point Guard, on the Game 2 loss
"It was tough just seeing us (last night). You know they played really, really well. They played really, really well in the second half and I believe everybody who played last night gave everything they had, every second they were out on the floor. But it was so close, and to watch us, yeah, lose in such a close game when we could have kind of taken control of the series with a win - got a road win - that was tough to watch. But it's not over. We still have to protect our home court and really, to be honest, the series doesn't really start until someone wins on the road."

"The worst part was the spasming and that's gone, I guess it's not spasming anymore so I'm really thankful for that and then now it's just, you know, getting range of motion and being pain free."

SOUNDBITE (English) Jeremy Lin, Houston Rockets Point Guard
"I mean, I can't shoot today. You know, like we've tried to do the shooting motion just to like get range of motion but right now like I have range of motion I just don't think I have any force but we'll try again tomorrow."

"I'm not going to make any promises or anything - I just don't know - but right now it is just day-to-day and then we'll see how I feel every day and tomorrow we'll re-evaluate it."
