    I love how you cherry pick your games so Lin has better stats than Harden. If you pick the first 14 games of the season, Harden would kill Lin. See how that works?

    You figure it might have something to do with other teams scouting and keying there defense to stop him? Just maybe?

    instead of bashing each other of Lin pray that all western team playing right now lose so that rockets standing move up.

    Agreed, I'm glad the team won yesterday and TD did a great job so props to him and everyone. I just hope Lin plays better for this team.

    He missed open shots and teams aren't double teaming him as much anymore

    First of all you lose credibility by implying that you are objective, because you are just about as biased in Lin's favor as the person attacking Lin (cherry picking stats that support your argument, while ignoring all the other stats doesn't give 'credibility'; it does he opposite).

    "Harden sucks harder" in the past 15 games when almost every stat category says the opposite is just laughable. Shooting percentage?? Really!? I shot 75% (on 4 shots), last weekend, I must be NBA material. How much either is contributing to wins particularly in the closing minutes is the better litmus as to who is "sucking harder". This is a team game you know.

    Anyway, if "Superstar" is FOX news, you are MSNBC. Just pointing out your hypocrisy.

    My goodness, this isn't even about Lin any more.

    I'm starting to wonder if Allegro is a troll.

    Don't distort. The context was clearly that Harden's shooting average the last 15 games is worse than Lin's. And it is. If you refuse to believe that, maybe Fox News' fantasy world will make you feel better.

    Not sure if you're just trolling, so I'm reluctant to reply. Anyway, you pick one stat (shooting average), that says hardly anything about how effective/productive a player is, then use this to base your argument on. ".369 versus Lin's .385", therefore "Harden sucks more".
    By your reasoning (aka cherry picking), since Brian Scalabrine had a CAREER FG% of .390, he is better than both our guys, right?
    And using such a tiny 1.6 % difference (which means out of 100 shots, Lin made 1.6 more than Harden did. Wow.) is laughable.

    "Without statistics there is no objectivity. Without the stats, you are merely expressing your biases, and you have no credibility." -you
    And what do you do?... you pick some meaningless stat to back up your bias, then you try to claim objectivity. What a joke.
    No wonder why Superstar quoted you in his sig, it makes for a good laugh :D

    Noticed there are less and less Lin fans on here with each passing day.

    Lin is like the Jackie Robinson of Basketball for Asian Americans so it's sad to see him suck so bad. The ones projecting him to be the next Nash, Kidd etc are looking incredibly silly as his FG% continues to plummet.

    As much as I hate to admit it, Lin failing would almost certainly strengthen that stereotype of Asian men being nerdy, unathletic weaklings that belong nowhere near proffessional sports.

    No idea where I'm going with this anymore but in short I hope it turns out well not only for the Rockets organization but for the Asian race.

    Average doesn't always tell the story. Harden has had more good shooting games over the past 15 games than Lin has. Consistently shooting bad does a team no good. At least the up and down guy is getting the team wins when he is hot.
