It's pretty evident we're a better team when Lin is the primary ball handler.

One of these days, I'm going to start a thread with a provocative Lin vs Harden title with only one word in the opening post.

G E R O N I M O!!!

 

Seriously? Prior to CP3 joining the clippers, they had a 32-50 record and did not make it to the playoffs. The year he joined they improved to a 40-26 (shortened season) and made it past the 1st round of the playoffs.

Because of his signing and positive effect on the team, they are now considered as a contending team for the title which have led to the signing of Butler, Crawford, Turiaf and Odom.

If that is not considered a significant improvement, I don't know what is.

 

Don't worry about him, he is a troll. He also said Harden can be Michael Jordan.

 

Troll alert.

 

Since Lin joined the Rockets the Rockets are a top 3 offense in the NBA....? Lin has something to do with this right?

 

So many damn trolls in this thread.

 

what's your definition of troll?

you mean somebody whose opinion differs from yours?:grin:

Or it is more something along these lines?

"A Troll is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Trolls delight in causing discord on the forums. They inspire flaming rhetoric and they purposely provoke and pull people into a flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war."

 

I agree he has. Does that mean he is better than CP3 or that CP3 is overrated?

 

Not a troll -- just extremely enthusiastic.

 

Haha... so 48 hours ago Lin was the better playermaker between him and Harden, and today he's now better than CP3??.. nice. I didn't know players can improve that much in 48 hours. By Wednesday he will have reached Lebron's level if he's not there by tipoff Tuesday night.

 

This is quite possible.

However, I still won't buy that Lin is anywhere near CP3 at this point. CP3 is one of the best PG's in the league. Lin is a work in progress.

Not fair to compare them at all. :grin:

 

at this rate Lin will be better than Hakeem and Jordan conbined by friday.

 

CP3 is one of the best point guard in league history

 

Lin is already better than Jordan. Sampson and racism is the only reason he is not.

 

Who's CP3?

 

What about when Chandler is the ball handler?

(see what I did there)

 

Not necessarily. Last game against the Jazz, when Lin had the ball the defenders would sag off him, daring him to shoot. From a passing point of view, that tactic more than cancelled the putative spacing benefit conferred by a lurking Harden. And yet the offense continued to look smoother when Lin had the ball. Let's face it, Lin is just a better playmaker.

 

FIFY..

 

The more Lin fans try to compare him to stars in the league, the more the Lin hate will go up. If Lin manage to get voted in the All Stars, you will see hate skyrocket over 9000 percent.
