It hasn’t been easy for Fernando Torres since becoming a Chelsea player. Names circulating about him, as the team seems to be on a constant lookout for someone who’ll replace their very expensive failure.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Needs to Take the Game From James Harden
A second loss and a fall to 0-2 in the series for the Houston Rockets will mean the end of it.
