The other difference is that the Knicks (D'antoni's) offense was built around him when Amare and Melo were out. Harden's the lead dog here, Lin needs to adjust.
Funny how emotional some CF are... lol... It's just a game and is only half time. Let's relax and see if our young squad fight back. I think they played hard but not smart enough. More experience will help.
We should hire John Salley, Rick Mahorn or Bill Laimbeer as our defensive assistant coach to teach our bigs how to put a pesky player on his butt. I guarantee that if Parker was playing against the Bad Boys hh would think twice about driving to the bucket. If you're going to foul a player, let him know about it...don't fairy tap him & watch him make an And 1.
For all those LOF calling me out earlier today when I said Lin couldn't stop Parker and Duncan's screen, now you see why I rather let TD gaurding Parker. I hope Lin can be more aggressive and create opporunities for teammates.
Lin never gets any PnR opportunities. Why is that? This seems to be the only thing he can do and Sampson is not dialing up any opportunities for him. When he does get the ball he is at the top of the key by himself. The minute Harden passes half court some is already coming.
Chandler is not playing with confidence tonight. He normally throws down that ally-oop. I wonder if his sholder is still bothering him?
