Should we look to Jeremy Lin to be our closer as opposed to James Harden?

ummmm trade lin

 

Thats the thing. No one is putting Jeremy down. He is no where near the player of Harden and that is just a fact. It is not an insult. I just like rubbing it in Lin fans faces because they make stupid threads like this.

 

This thread was ridiculous to begin with (although sadly not surprising) but outside of the TOs Lin played well tonight. His shot looks so much more comfortable then it did earlier in the season. Nobody with an ounce of intelligence ever believed that Lin should have the ball over Harden anyways so just be happy we came out of that game with a win.

 

its not the TOs imo its the fact that he picks up the dribble and then that leads to a bad pass. If he keeps the ball alive it makes him a triple threat, not a double threat

 

i like jeremy

but he isnt a PG he's more of an undersized 2 that fits better with the 2nd unit where he can create his own shot.

 

You go with the Hot hand, but when you are talking about last shot, then thats what you got James Harden for. He is your superstar, this is what superstars are for.

PS. The poll is pretty confusing on first look. I accidently voted for first option bcuz Harden does make me soften, when he says "THIS IS MY CITY"

I think Lin is more of a SG then he is a point.

 

OHHHH i was wondering how McHale became so smart all of a sudden. So basically it was a Lin iso play but because of the foul, Wizards knew what we were trying to do so we faked Lin and went with Harden instead.

McHale got lucky cuz that Lin play probably would have resulted in a turnover.

Sorry, this is off topic. Didn't you used to really not like Lin's game? Just surprised that you would compliment him today as I thought this was not one of his better games haha

This is going to be a stupid question, but can someone explain to me why people do that at all? I don't see any good that comes of it unless maybe your afraid of it being stolen or something, but quite a few times this game, Lin brought the ball up and just picked up his dribble right away with no pressure from defenders or anything. And like you said, some of those led to those bad passes. It's inexplicable, and I'm trying to understand why.

 

Loooooooollllllll

 

Quit trolling seriously.

 

he really needs to work on his dribbling. its more problematic then his shot.

 

of course he needs to be our closer...did anybody watch the game tonight?

 

Is this thread hilarious to everyone yet?

 

Who started this thread lol...

Quick, start a thread looking to Bev to be the closer!

 

Jeremy Lin! Where are you? I take no joy in pointing this out, but Lin has been missing in action 4 out of the last 5 games. This coming on the heels of a brilliant 5 game stretch where he produced a triple double. The Rockets are so much more formidable when he is on his game and it has just been painful to watch him play the last few games. This is very frustrating and extremely puzzling.

 

It is to me.

I had to literally argue to some people that Harden was clutch. Some people seem to think that a clutch player is clutch ALL the time.

All it means is if you are in a close game there is a chance that they will pull you through it.

I even said in the very game thread. "Lets just keep this close and hope Harden carries us to a win." and he did a lot of the clutch work to do just that along with Beverly of course.
