    I forget that other teams try to double team lin because he is an offensive threat.

    Outscore? They're on the same damn team. Hardens the star, therefore has the green light. Hes had numerous bad shooting nights where he still puts up 20+ pts. In all honesty there are a ton of role players who could average close to 20 pts a game given the opportunity to do so. I have no doubt in my mind Lin can average around 18-19 ppg if he had the green light.

    If they are going to double Harden, then yes I think Lin can really take advantage of that. In single coverage you may have to live or die with Harden though.

    Im instigating what? He pointed out Harden missed and caused us to go into 2 overtimes. I pointed out Lin missed with his double clutch 3 that caused us to go into the 2nd overtime.

    From your previous post, you're clearly the one raging and a shot is a shot.

    Harden missed the game winner via airball with PLENTY of time on the shot clock to work his move. Lin had .9 seconds to catch an in-bounds pass from almost half court and double clutch a three pointer and hit rim. Please go away.

    Come on...there was .9 seconds on the clock. He didnt even get a good look. Harden chose to iso when he was tripled teamed and throw up a wild shot while ignoring Lin, Parsons and Casspi when they were all open.

    Dude. I'm with you. I hate all these Asians on this board. It's bad enough that we actually have one playing on this team. I swear I'd rather lose than have Lin bail us out. And then Asians like Calvin Murphy saying Harden iso might not be perfect...ugh...who is that guy...just know he has to be Asian. Why? Because I'm a "Rockets first" fan. You and me brother.

    Im half Asian, but I watch basketball. There is no way they should think lin > Harden. It's cool that lin inspires them so much but damn, he isn't the greatest in the game or the greatest on the team.

    Yeah. Can't believe he choked that. Next time in that situation he should just dribble the clock out. Actually there will be no next time. The "scouting report" is on him now. Lin's days are done.
