    Now you're just making things up.
    I find it hard to believe a head coach would be mad at his PG for scoring 29 points in a win against one of the best teams in the west.

    Lin's scoring is needed.

    Trade Lin or hire someone who has more experience with guards as our next head coach.

    I called it that Morey should have traded Lin by the trade deadline. With the trajectory of Lin's performance these few games, Morey would be lucky if he doesn't have to package a first rounder to get rid of his contract, or risk him being a 3rd stringer next season with the way he is being used.

    imagine how funny itd be if rockets give lin away for a 2nd time, and lin takes a team into the playoffs with major stats. les would be so mad.

    Yes but Parsons and Harden actually scores consistently.

    Hence why Lin won't get traded unless Les is sure he's a bust. Even an average Lin is probably extremely good for business I assume.

    Did you miss this thread?

    “Sometimes he’d rather have 29 points and nine turnovers and I tell him, ‘Jeremy, we’re trying to win,’ ” McHale said.


    McHale even lied about Lin's turnovers. Lin had only 2 or 3 in that OKC game and his average TOs have been going way down lately. Lin has never had 9 TOs in any of his NBA game.

    So last year it was "McHale runs a PG-centric offense" that neuters the ability of all the other players on the court while only developing that position. Now, because Jeremy isn't as successful, it's that he runs an offense that ignores the PG position entirely and all of a sudden he doesn't know how to develop PGs after a year where he turned 2 starters in to near all-stars...

    How ****ing stupid has this forum become?

    Beverley was playing better. That is all there was to it at least for this game.

    I noticed that. It is pretty obvious that McHale did not trust Lin with the ball most of the time.

    Parsons is not turnover prone.

    Harden turns it over, but if you can't understand why this is then you just don't get it. Should he improve? 1000 times yes, but go look at turnover numbers of the OKC duo or Kobe. When you play a ton of minutes and have the ball all the time turnovers are going to happen.

    Sometimes I wish Lin was on his own team by himself with him as coach that way threads like these would go away.

    if we often compare things to the spurs and even pop, nobody should get special treatment.

    Here's an idea. How about keep him and let him develop his game so that he can earn Mchale's trust.
