    Dumb stat, but we're 5-0 when Lin has 6+ TOs.

    It could really hurt our transition D too if both of them are crashing the offensive glass.

    He wanted rebounding. The Clippers frontcourt would have killed us on the boards with Monti out there.

    It is a stupid strategy. Trying to rip Harden and infer that Lin is a better player than Harden is a losing argument 100 out of 100 times ... Harden is light years better.

    I think I'd be okay with that. The guards get back, the bigs push on the offensive glass for boards.

    At least on the offensive glass we'd have some mismatches with Asik and Smith. In terms of transition Defense, it's not like we have Lebron and Durant chasing down people for blocks from behind.

    A better option might be to just have Lin and Harden getting back.

    A big reason why Lin was so effective in NYC was because D'antoni let him make mistakes. That's how young PGs learn and get better. They tend to have lots of TOs. Give him time.

    When Lin handles the ball more, he has more TO but his playmaking ability helps the team win.:)

    From now on Greg Smith should start at the 4 spot. D Mo should be third off the bench

    That stat always confuses me. Is it because when Lin has high TO he is playing aggressive hi risk basketball? Thats what Lin did during Linsanity with the Knicks. In any case, great win tonight because everyone played hard on both ends of the floor, and they shared the ball as a team.

    Smith and Asik is better for defense.

    I'm glad, F spacing the floor if you can't stop the other team from scoring what is the point? You gotta hit all your shots too.

    Teams probably run less in the playoffs, so maybe shifting focus to rebounding (on both ends) is a good strategy going forward.

    Some of them...not all...but some seem to think that Harden is holding Lin back.
