Jeremy Lin moved back to the bench on Monday during Houston's 126-113 win over the Blazers, scoring eight points with two boards, five assists, one steal and two 3-pointers. The Rockets got off to a great start in this game and didn't need Lin to give them an offensive jolt. The best days of the season are likely behind Lin now that Patrick Beverley is back, but he's not likely going to be this bad. In other words, most owners shouldn't make any hasty cuts just yet.
