disagree Lin has the ball all the time and chooses to give up the rock. I think even in this game the coaches had to take him out to tell him to go ham. Lin was holding Linsanity back.
Lin deferring to Harden is why Lin doesn't attack the basket. Maybe he feels like he has to, when Harden's on the floor. He needs to feel like this is as much HIS team as it is Harden's, Parson's and Asik's. And whoever is saying that coach is telling him to pass to Harden and get out the way is semi-r****ded.
Yeah, it's a growth process. As Tony Parker commented, Lin is learning to pick his spots. He has to find that balance between 100% green light and getting the superior player involved.
If Rockets have Steve Novak...this game would have been over because Lin will feed him all game long lol. Chandler Pason has been off and so is Delfino. If one of these guys came to play, this game would have been our. Rockets' players were so tired...especially Osik. Morris defense sometime is horrible. Leaving Manu open for 3 while going underneath the pick n roll is nothing but a rookie mistake.
Cause Houston is not the right place for Lin. The coach, James Harden, they are the reason Linsanity can't come to Houston.
Yea i can't believe he took him out. When a player have a such great impact on the game and is playing well, you don't take him out even if he's tired. He doesn't appear tire to me. You only take him out if he started missed consecutive shots or something like that...
Steve Novak has Lin to thank for his huge contract. too bad that makes him untradeable for his limited skill set. he really needs someone like Lin to feed him to be effective.
I believe he can make stars play better than they would play if they had to shoulder both the scoring load and the passing.
You notice Lin was at the line 12/12 tonight. When is the last time he go to the free throw line that much? I don't remember he did this season. The fact that he went to the line this much tonight tells me a couple things: He was healthy and that the coaches have been holding him back or doesn't know how to utilize him. All season, i was wondering why the f Lin doesn't attack the basket anymore...is it because he's not 100%...nope he sure look fine tonight. So then the next question, why didn't he attack the basket in those games?? Well, the stupid coaches are the reason. It took Harden being injured for us to see what the hell is going on with Linsanity. It turns out the coaches just don't run plays through him or use him as the primary attacker...this is the reason that hold Linsanity back. It is the same reason when Melo came back in the lineup in NY. Lin had to defer everything to him and just stand and watch.
