He got injured after playing 25 games at that level. This is a 82-game season and they're still trying to learn how to play and he's still recovering from a knee injury. Do you really want him to end up like Steve Nash next week?
We scored 52 pts as a team. I see this as a Win. We should care less about how many pts Lin scores. If the ball is moving and we're running some semblance of an offense, I see that as a win. The 1st part of the 1st quarter was crap. The rest was better.
Am I understanding this correctly? Some dumbasses calling Lin a scrub cuz he's goes to camp at the 3point line like this is something new and something he decides on his own? C'mon I know ya'll know better than this. Lin stopped attacking after the first 2 games, it's obvious he doesnt exactly have the green light anymore. James does and its understandable but the coaching staff needs to find a way to incorporate Lin more and not have him live at the corner 3 after bringing the ball up. It's quite frankly pathetic to watch, especially when we've seen stretches where Jeremy directs the offense and James plays off the ball and it's beautiful to watch.
Nothing worse than taking contested shots or taking shots early in the clock. Chuckers destroy team morale.
all you guys whining about how somebody sucks have zero knowledge of bball. for you idiots it's all about points. amazing the level of stupidity here.
This. We managed to cut the Heat's lead to 4 after that abysmal beginning of the 1st quarter and all people can talk about is how Lin is garbage.
I'm impressed, this is an actual ball game. Chris Bosh is the biggest mismatch on the floor right now, the Rockets have to find a way to contain his jumper or else they'll keep getting abused by it. Harden's value is directly proportional to how easily the referees will call a foul. Harden goes in soft too frequently, so if the ref's let them play, Harden's value is cut in half. Thankfully, Harden is getting calls tonight. Meanwhile, here's to hoping that Lin flips the switch and starts attacking again. Seems like they've been letting him play more freely in the 4th quarter recently, so maybe it's stamina-related? But regardless, he's putting up average numbers with low USG%, and he's getting paid like an average PG. Anything he gives on top of that is gravy.
besides Asik offensive the best gain of the night is aggresive patterson who attacks the rim...soething he didnt do at all in 6 previous games...i guesss some time on the bench made him try harder ....notice how harden plays better when he is not forcing things... and is not only one to score...nice offensive flow of the ball....
Not really. If you watch, its about how to get the ball in Harden's hands. And for some reason, Parsons has been getting way more touches than he usually does.
