    The core problem is lack of screens by the starters. And the coaches haven't even noticed it. I think it's a miracle that Lin is getting the number of assists he's getting, because everything is being kept outside, the defense plays zone, and we jack up too many outside shots.

    They helped themselves. That was their third string point guard starting. They destroyed us without Nash.

    Anyways, not excited to see us guard Millsap and Jefferson tomorrow. This team really struggles against good power forwards. Expect more misery.

    The Rockets don't give Lin the spacing he had in NY. That's one big difference, and its more a personnel thing than a coaching thing. He's just not able to get the same driving lanes to the basket. And he's a shaky jumpshooter, at best. Put it all together, and that's why he's not shooting a lot.

    *Hears how much Lin is worse than Dragic or Lowry*
    *Looks up Phoenix and Toronto*
    *Phoenix 4-7, Lowry hurt*

    I'm sure it's scapegoating too as to why Lin isn't doing well. But I always post and watch game threads. Most of the people throwing around and bashing Harden are 2012ers.

    I don't like to group up a bunch of people, but it is what it is. I know there are some reasonable people who've joined this year though so I hate to say that.

    What exactly is you're point. Dragic is better and so is lowry.

    Who the hell are you to say who are LOFs who are not? I defend Lin defend Harden. I will defend any player who plays his heart out there, unlike those stupid unappreciative morons who are only whining here.

    Funny thing is, i think some people here are so comfortable comparing us to contending teams. Last time I checked we are nowhere near those teams.

    My point is a good PG that runs the offense well wins games. He does that by controlling the ball to limit his team's turnovers (other's are handling the ball way too much because Lin does not seem to want it in his hands). It does not matter how many points Lin scores compared to how well he runs the offense.

    THE LAKERS DID NOT HAVE THEIR STARTING PG AND THEIR BACKUP PG AND LIN WENT SOMETHING LIKE 3/8. Chris Duhon and their third string PG lit hip up.
