    It is a tiny example that represents why this team is so damn fun to watch.

    1 on 4 and Atlanta couldn't track the trailer. Unbeliavable.

    I'm beginning to think these "defensive" teams can't stop our fastbreak as well as the uptempo teams who decide to run with us and crush us at our own game.

    Fastbreak defensive coaching tends to be: get back in numbers and shut down the ball handler so that they pull it up and reset for halfcourt.

    But I guess because we keep pushing it, we're shocking the 'halfcourt grind' teams by attacking even when short on numbers (see Harden dunking 1 on 3 against the Spurs).

    between this play, the cross court Lin pass to Delfino for the layup, and the alley oop to Asik on the fast break, makes this team and its style one of the most exciting to watch..

    The game had a lot of great plays.
    Glad to see Delfino back.

    Doesn't beat the beauty of the Harden to Lin alley oop!

    Me thinks Worrell is a LOH. Lin clearly has a great block and Worrell says "Smith misses it". I've also noticed times when Lin will make a great pass, and Worrell will instead of recognizing the great pass say it was a great score by the person who caught the great pass. However, Bullard will always makes sure Lin is given credit by pointing it out when Worrell blatantly ignores it. Pathetic.

    Yeah....that's how it ALWAYS is. Worrell = Lin Only Hater. It's so obvious!

    :rolleyes:

    Much obliged. If he had made that flush, it would've brought the house down.

    Correction, he did later say "great steal", maybe he caught himself. However, I have still noticed a commentating bent against Jeremy by Worrell. For instance I've heard him really come down on him when he misses a shot, but, if someone else misses a shot, he says the Rockets aren't shooting well instead of focusing on the individual.

    Okay maybe the LOH is a slight exaggeration, but I do hear this is in the commentating by Bill. He's seems very reluctant to cheer for him or point out good plays, but if he messes up, he reallys lets it be known. However, Bullard does seem to always point out what Worrell won't - in refernce to good plays by Lin.

    No he is not. Bill is just getting old.
