Its gotten to the point where I won't really defend him. Its fine for your shot to be off....but to play with no confidence and deferring to everyone else like that is ridiculous. TD might miss his shots but at least he has the balls to take it.
I thought Lin played Westbrook extremely well. He could of been more aggressive for sure but Okc was doing a great job of doubling at the 3point line. Force Westbrook into some turnovers and had more asts than him till the end.
Lin started to play well in this game when he stopped dumping the ball on Harden every possession only for him to brick the shot. He only took seven shots this game and had like 1 shot in the first half.... The only one who played horrendously this game was Harden.
Lin is not a starter PG in this league..well only for a specific system. Other than that he's a good Back up.
I thought Lin could have been more aggressive on offense, but did we watch different games? Lin played pretty good D and dished the ball well. He really put Asik and Patterson in good positions to score.
I dont know what you guys were watching but Lin played a good game. He was getting trapped (along with Harden) and made the correct passes that were close to the basket. Just because the boxscore looks like he played a passive game doesnt mean he actually did. smh.
The Rockets game plan seems to be force feed the ball to Harden and relegate the PG to spot up 3 point shooter if even that. Harden is not Kobe and Lin is not Derek Fisher. Harden cannot run an offense and is not good enough to carry an offense. Being the first option does not mean you should be a black hole on offense especially when you are bricking everything aside from free throws.
Because OKC knew Asik and Patterson couldnt beat them..Those were gimme points..As of now Lin just doesnt have it
Shhhh... I think it's supposed to be a secret that PGs are supposed facilitate the offense. Lots of these guys don't seem to know...
this is happening a lot. people want to ignore it. With time, I think they will find a way to co exist, but right now harden gets the ball, everyone looks, harden goes to the basket with three defenders ..no call...wild shot..wasted possession. I thought lin played a brilliant game defensively. took westbrook's lunch money thrice and forced him to a couple of bad passes.
This is the game you Lin fanboys decide to come out and circlejerk to? Doesn't that tell you something?
does anyone know how aaron brooks has been playing.. does he still do those things he did here. kid was a baller.. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8bSdhTH8NLQ" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/j5aKHrtpiws" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe>
I would like to see him be more aggressive. Thought he played great D and passed the ball well but he can't be taking only 7 shots especially when Parsons is out & Harden goes 2 for 18 or whatever.
