    Lin and Melo did fine together. If you were watching the Knicks games the problem was Melo not making his shots. 6-1 record under Woodson with both of them

    Wade isn't a spot up shooter either. Whats your point? Plus its not that he's missing them, its that he's not that taking them. Thats on him.

    I played the point... when a player who shoots a lot is always standing around with his hands close together.. aka ready to hoist it gets on your nerves... problem is he's not mean enough to tell him you'll get the damn ball you don't have to beg for it.

    wow, lol seriously i never looked into that...but still, houston is very inconsistent when it comes to shooting.when the shooting is off, dump it down low.well, that's my opinion of why we should get a real post player

    I have no doubt the coaches are forcing Lin back into the prison.

    Comparing Wade to Lin is just wrong from the start... James is much less of a chucker than Harden has been since he got to Houston.. James doesn't have a problem giving the ball up and doing other stuff. How many offensive put backs does Harden get? How many good screens do you see Harden setting?

    Doesn't seem to bother anyone else on the team, including Harden....

    Can Lin be responsible for anything? Or are his shortcomings always someone else?

    Ignore the New Shinier franchise darling?

    It's simple Lin needs to have that IDGAF attitude... having that for him is going to come hard.

    Then the coach needs to tell him. It's almost pathological how his play changes. He needs to realize that that doesn't help the team!

    Can't really blame Lin for not passing

    Lin to
    Asik twice and missed 2 layups
    Smith couldnt catch an easy alleyop
    defino cant hit easy 3 with 5 seconds to set up shot

    Awful, really awful, just no energy, no sense of urgency.
