    I'm not a LOF or LOH. I don't even like Harden that much. He too isn't playing up to what we expected but he has more experience and has been in the league for quite sometimes playing many games 81+ and more than 20+ and even in the 4th quarter.

    If Felton is hitting open 3s, it opens up the whole game for the Rockets players (if he played here). This includes opening things up for the post players and gives harden more room to work. Harden cannot do much because players play off of Lin and let him take 3s and we have seen the result of that. A miss.

    Only a miserable and pathetic human being like you would mock the English level of the foreign posters who are writing in their 2nd or even 3rd language. You are a piece of crap.

    Felton has been having hell of a season this year. All or most his game has been good. One game wasn't and that was against Jeremy Lin. Yea, Lin played defense but that was 1 time. Lin has played bad how many times this season? As i recall, many!

    So the real question is, was he tanking last year because he didn't like his team? Great sportsmanship there.

    I doubt Portland really cares at this point. They got Lillard out of the deal, who is playing like the ROY.

    Felton has found his rhythm while Lin hasn't.

    You're right, it's more like lots of RaymondOnlyFans~ that's why they didn't bump this when their boy went 3-19 against the Nets the other day.:p

    Uh, no. He's had more than 1 ugly game. But yeah, he's been playing decent overall, certainly a big upgrade from his play last season.
    But like I said shayan,
    Felton should be currently better, he is a top 5 pick, has been in the league 7 years, and is 28 years old..this right here is his prime.
    He also has the green light to play PG with the Knicks, he is their second best scorer after Carmelo. Lin has had bad games because he's struggling with his shot and he's learning to get used to playing more off the ball while both he and Harden find a balance to be the playmakers. It takes time shayan, it's a young team finding a new identity. Have patience.

    Pretty much. He come in like most others came into the season and that was Out of shape. There were many cases just like Felton but Felton did not feel the need to get back in shape to play in the season. Lock Out had an effect on him. He said that himself.

    A little sense of humor goes a long way.

    Felton has confidence.
    Lin doesn't.

    Lin is trying too hard to minimize mistakes, rather than maximize his play. He's playing defensively. That's a sign of low confidence.

    I completely agree with this. It seems that the addition of Harden added pressure rather than relieve it. A positive could be that confidence is easily remedied with good play. I hope it happens, soon, for the benefit of the team.

    Very good shayan! Now you're learning, slowly, but you're getting there.
    Now try to process this: He played great last season because he was given the green light of playing PG full time and do just about whatever he wanted. Lin is currently playing below average because he has to learn his new role of playing with another great playmaker beside him in Harden, his current shooting woes certainly aren't helping. But give it some time for him to get comfortable in the new system. Under these circumstances, it's just silly to compare him to a player in his prime who's not on a tight leash.

    From the recent games though (beside OKC and Lakers when everyone played like crap) it looks like the team is starting to gel and he's getting comfortable enough in his new role to actually have an impact on the games.

    & btw Crawford played like trash last year for the Blazers also.

    And if Lin is what you make of him to be then he should have been playing fairly decent if not great. He is not even playing decent. For a starting point guard that is earning $8 million dollars a year. He has no excuse. Damian Lillaird is also new and young and in a new system and this guy is just balling!
