    Lin has a turrible night in terms of shooting, no confident at all and reluctant to shoot until its in the last seconds/or no one to pass the ball to. It seemed to me he had lost his passion of the game and not interested at all until the last 4 minutes. Something must be wrong. Being a LOF, I blame the coach:

    No pick & roll
    No pick & pop
    No penetration to the rim
    Bring the ball upcourt and pass it to Harden or others and it called involvement in the offense.
    No in game adjustment.

    I BLAME THE COACH, SMFH.

    It blows my mind that after such a lackluster first half no adjustments are made. You have talented rookies play them.

    Let's blame everything on Lin and trade/waive him. People who don't appreciate him do not deserve to have him.

    I agree. It looks like he is getting bored of this offense. Say what you will about D'antoni but he learned to trust Lin and this paid dividends until melo decided that he couldn't accept Lin as the superstar of the team and stopped playing. I am not advocating for coaching change, but McHale needs to learn to trust him - but i have a feeling that he will never learn...

    This is exactly the argument that came up last year with the Knicks. New team. New Year. Same Ole B.S....

    I knew LOF's couldn't handle criticism. I would happily trade Lin for Dragic or Lowry right now.

    Lin isn't meant to be a Steve Novak. I don't know why coaching has shifted this way since the 1st 2 games

    Lin can't have a bad game..it just can't happen. Must be McHale's fault. Or maybe Harden playing Hero Ball .

    IMO Harden is so overrated after those first two games. Now we see his true skills in the last two games. McFail wake up!

    I wouldn't turn my back on McHale just yet. Its only 4 games and he has begun to experiment and coach a new lineup

    Lin actually had a bad shooting game, but in other aspects, you can't say he sucked.

    I don't think Lin is better than Lowry but I will hold my judgement until the offense is run the way it should be run with Lin on board. If he still doesn't perform, then I will be first to admit he was a mistake

    After they made their defensive adjustments at halftime, Lin's defense on Lawson was superb. Lawson had 17 points at halftime, but only 4 points in the 2nd half. And Lin had 2 steals on Lawson and 2 steals on Miller in the 2nd half. So LOL @ saying that Lin is a scrub.
