    Solid game for Jlin to help the hornets beat the Nets. Yoeddy, how do you feel that lin`s hornets beat the Nets?

    Kemba Walker and Batum drop 44, and lin shoots 3-10 for 11 points

    the nets are 15-41

    Rockets are a .500 team. But we are significantly more talented than the nets.

    If we look at the offensive efficiency ranking of the Houston Rockets during the Harden era, the highest ranking they ever achieved happened in 2013-14, when they were ranked 4th overall. They were ranked 6th overall in 2012-13, 12th overall in 2014-15 and 8th overall in 2015-16 so far.

    So, if we are only talking about offense, it would seem that the 2013-14 team had roughly the right formula. The thing that team had was multiple perimeter guys who can both shoot and penetrate-- particularly Harden, Parsons and Lin. Harden is by far the best at it, of course, but having those secondary threats who didn't necessarily demand the ball that much (even though they probably wanted more touches), but can drive the ball when needed, helped keeping Harden from having to do all the work and made for an efficient offense.

    So, I'm not sure the team needs a "real PG" as much as it just needs guys who are threats to both penetrate and shoot (and hopefully, pass the ball also), and it doesn't matter what position they play all that much. Those guys will probably have to be capable to play both an off-ball role and a secondary on-ball role also.

    LOL he had an average game. +10

    11 pts 5 rebs 4 assist 1 stls 1 block 0 turnovers

    Lin Haters focus on the negative stat of the day. Today is the FG/FGA

    Next game is the +/-

    The next game is the assist/turnovers. LOL

    Because cherry picking stats to glorify, defend, or excuse Lin's performance is not a known defining characteristic of LOF.

    Except Lin Fans accept Lin as a middle-of-the-road average serviceable player in the NBA. LOFs that think he's an all-star are not present in this thread or on CF.net anymore.

    Yet, there are plenty of delusional extremist Lin Haters in this thread, who think Lin is the worst player in the NBA. Which is wrong. Proof: Ty Lawson and many others are worse lol

    He's -.83 in real plus/minus for the year which is 33rd in the league for point guards. He's -3 this year in rating per 100 possessions. Pick your stat LOF.

    Not sure why Lawson keeps getting brought up. Everyone knows he has been terrible this year. Actually, I take that back. His pathetic play is a perfect compatison with Airemy. Two players who cost their teams games

    They both suck but Ty Lawson on the Rockets is Airemy on Steroids LOL

    More overpaid, and less return on investment.

    Thanks for WCF to 8th seed/9th seed!!

    This is what $12M salary from the Rockets gets you:

    Last game vs Phoenix: 0-4 FG/FGA 4 rebs 2 assist 2 turnovers 1 stls 1 pts in 20 minutes. Most Garbage Rockets PG ever!

    Fake Rockets fan hate on Lin is stronger than their love for the Rockets
