In a heart beat...Novak would be awesome in this offense...it would be our version of a thin "White Mamba" Brian Scalabrine
Nah his defense has been fine. One of the reasons why hes only taking like 4,5 shots yet still play 20+ minutes on many nights. Not a good defender, but not a liability.
I want to add that with the tough schedule for this season, Lin has had to lead a new young Rockets team play against last season's playoff teams in 17 of the last 25 games played so far. And we are still at 13-12 and 7th in the competitive Western Conference!!!
Problem is the Lakers, Mavs will definitley make a push soon...and the Blazers may hit a groove as well. This will make it difficult especially if we let the easy ones slip away. Every single game will count in the West.
