    two things: lin and harden

    harden was a 6th man on a playoff team for a reason. they can't force-feed him a starting role. I think harden is going to be trevor ariza all over again.

    lin is obviously better than harden overall, but lin still has defense liability. did people see how mike conley kept blowing by lin in the memphis game?

    you seem like a swell guy, but i truly didn't agree with one assertion you made in this post other than your addition of lin and harden equals two things.

    I love Lin but this is nuts Harden. Harden is going to be great for this team. And let's cut with this Lin is a defensive liability nonsense. Both Harden and Lin are solid on defense & I think he has the tools to be even better. He is 23 for gods sake.

    This is a rock solid YOUNG run n gun brigade! The future looks so bright.
    I'll give them till the all star break to get things flowing, and we should solidly be in the playoff hunt and more when the season starts winding down.

    Lin and Harden up top, Chandler everywhere, and Omer and PPat/TJ down low. Offense and defense, we've got it together solid.

    Harden knows how to facilitate an offense for a group of scrubs. :grin:
