    Your rebuttal is so weak, I already proved you wrong; any person who reads our debate will know it is you who keep making yourself sound like a fool by keep arguing when you're the one who is wrong. Like I said you're either an id**t or unreasonable, based on what my previous posts said, so your pick. If you want to to pick for you I say both :grin:

    LOL, Lin doesn't have to prove himself again and again and again, but haters always judge him again and again and again, that's the so called incompleted story defined by u guys. I think the haters would never shut up before he get a ring or something. If u insist that he still need to prove himself, maybe u just publish another topic "James Harden is a joke", cuz he has his ups and downs as well.

    Sorry, that line of argument is ridiculous.

    I could just as easily argue...

    If Dragic's stats from last year translated to this year AND Lin's stats from last year translated to this year, the difference would be minor.

    or

    If Lin's stats from last year translated to this year...

    Last year vs Last year, they're pretty close to a wash.

    This year to this year, they're pretty close to a wash in terms of trading offense for defense.

    It's a weak argument at best.

    As for Dragic's performance on defense, you can try to argue that his defense has declined due to being on the Suns, however the Rockets defense isn't exactly a top 10 defense and Lin seems to be doing just fine in terms of defensive stats.

    In fact...

    PPG - Suns (23rd), Houston (30th)
    Opponent TS% - Phoenix (23rd), Houston (25th)
    Opponent 3pt% - Phoenix (30th), Houston (26th)
    Opponent 2pt% - Phoenix (23rd), Houston (24th)

    http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat/opponent-points-per-game

    It sure doesn't LOOK like being on the Rockets is killing Lin's defensive stats. It's feeling like a stretch to be giving Dragic's terrible defense a pass for being on a defensive team that is similar/better to Houston by several measures...

    Actually, yes he does. What he did for the knicks is completely irrelevant. He hass to prove himself to be successful as a Rocket. That's a concept LOF fans constantly fail to grasp. That much is true for any player we bring in

    Two sides here, one with a mancrush on Lin and one with a mancrush on Dragic. Which mancrush will win out?

    I don't blame Lin right now, since he is playing out of his place by McFail's designed robotic basketball system.:grin:

    I have seen enough. Lin should not start on any NBA team.

    He doesn't shoot well.
    He doesn't draw a lot of fouls.
    He doesn't create well.
    He is incredibly turnover prone.
    He doesn't defend well.

    There's only one thing he does well and that's eating up EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR OF CAP SPACE for crying out loud.

    Lin is one of the worst signings of the past decade.

    All the fairweather haters who slunk away during the winning streak have now grown a spine overnight, I see.
