    If Harden wants to play PG then it is better to stagger the minutes of Lin and Harden as much as possible in order to get the most of the two.

    This is a prime example of what goes on in some of these posters minds. They start chit out of nowhere and blame Lin fans for messing up the GARM when 80% of the time it's guys like this. Please stop picking fights!!!

    Well said. The Kings play like Kings (sometimes) and spoiled princesses other times. The Rox should handle them, but then the Kings can beat anyone. Some nights.

    Yes, fewer minutes until the p/o's for JH. Parsons, too. And more points on the scoreboard than Seattle er Sac er Maloofville USA.

    Well, we survived the ballstopping of Francis/Mobley and ballhogging of Mike James, who shot more shots per minute than Yao Ming did! The good part is, I think Harden will grow out of it as he improves his overall game.

    He's on an imaginary holy mission to restore GARM back to the garden of Eden it once was.

    I bet that McHale forced Harden back so Lin doesn't get more confidence running the team. I have seem Harden the greedy ball hog scream at Lin while McHale laughs.

    Way to derail the Thread and make it about Lin again. No one called harden selfish, no one called Beverly bad, you need to get that in your head instead of making stuff up.

    No one called Harden selfish or Bev bad? You mean in the like 8 posts before mine on this thread or overall? Because I hear that in multiple threads around here every day.

    I think the entire point in my post (which was very clear to me) was that it is easy to manipulate what a quote says and make a lot of drama out of nothing. I have been involved in disputes with yourself, GoRockets2009, and HoCash in recent days about this exact subject. You all have been trying to gang up on me, saying that Lin hates McHale and he doesn't even go around him in the huddle anymore - to which I said I went to games recently and haven't seen that happen once.

    No...no one called Harden selfish or Bev bad before yours. You were the 8th poster on this thread, and that's counting OP's.

    Just because it happened on other threads, doesn't mean you have to stoop to their level and litter garbage all over GARM.

    I was just doing it to cut off the people from saying something stupid like I did and being serious about it. I don't know how that's not clear at this point.

    In all honesty, do you not see posts like mine that are 100% serious on the GARM? I see them all the time. These people literally take every interview and quote that is posted from our coach and other players and turn them in to these drama parties where heroes and villains are assigned and sides must be taken!!1! Then, they start quoting each other and the crap snowballs to the point where I see it come up over and over and over again in different threads over the course of months (Dragic and Scola hate McHale for example, or McHale hates Lin because of the way he looked at him - that one was mind-blowing).

    It's just very easy to do that stuff, and I was trying to point that out. I notice that the people who really took offense to it are generally people who I have argued with in the past about doing that exact thing...
