Jeremy Lin revealed that the Rockets have "taken away" his freedom "to choose whether I play or not," after he was ruled out for a second consecutive game. Lin said he would have played in both Game 4 and Game 5 if it were up to him, but we're finding that a little hard to believe after he tapped out of Game 3 voluntarily. Lin has time to get right in advance of Game 6, but after two wins without Lin, Kevin McHale will have some interesting choices to make if Lin is ready to play.
