    LOL, if a kid in college displays any semblance of the size and mobility and athleticism of Tyson Chandler he'd be a top 2 pick. THese guys dont grow on trees.

    That said, 100% true, half the time, when the pick is set it looks like Omer has barely rolled when Chandler would be halfway to the hoop back in NY.

    He won't. McHale is in love with Harden and Aldrich. To him, Lin should be spot-up shooter

    Everyone plays hard, we almost had this one. A great young team with something to learn from the great.

    Just think what would have happened if they had played JLIn in the 4th Q against Dallas. Also he is a MUCH better defender than TD.

    Patterson really needs to come off the bench. Not a starter. Can't defend, doesn't rebound ( 2 tonight ). Problem is, we don't really have a true 4 that could take his place ( maybe motiejunas in the future ).

    this game is again another testament that defense wins you champion, offense can only carry you so far.........

    our defense is just beyond atrocious, and from the start of the season, we've been a bad defensive team........

    look at every contender in this league, who does not have defense......

    i thought this game was gonna be a blowout but it was very fun to watch. Why is it when somebody is on fire McHale takes them out?

    Like the JaVale McGee triple double? Haha!

    Man, did Lin need this. Best game since dominating Dallas last season.

    This is better than his Lakers game b/c the Lakers were in a back-to-back and Lin was playing against Old Man Fisher.

    To put up 38 against one of the 3 best teams in the league and against Tony Parker is a sublime achievement.

    Lin has a great game and most people are giving up on Harden? Wow...

    Defenses begin to tighten, that's why.

    Shame we play none.

    I like what I saw for the most part. Patterson needs to learn to contribute when his jumper isn't falling and Delfino needs to try to kobe his way through a bad shooting night(or not bring the ball up the court in OT).

    Yeap. Parker couldn't do much with Lin on him. But with Douglas, Parker scored at will.
