Harden forces it too much at times as well and it hurts the team too, BUT, Harden I feel tries to do too much and force it at times to overcompensate for lack of talent around him. He came from a team with two superstars to a team with no one near star level. Harden is the main reason this team is even relevant right now.
Pure hatred without any stats to back you up! You are just a troll coming out of woodwork! Yes, Lin played like **** and he failed to sustain our lead as a floor leader. But both his defensive and offensive xRAPM's are + D xRAMP - O xRAMP Net Player - O xRAPM - D xRAMP - Net ------------------------------------- Harden +4.99 -1.01 +3.98 O Asik -1.14 4.83 +3.69 Delfino +1.62 +1.01 +2.63 J. Lin +1.66 +0.78 +2.54 Smith -0.31 -1.10 -1.41 Morris -0.16 -1.57 -1.73 Parsons -1.40 -0.62 -2.02 PPat -2.16 -1.00 -3.16 Douglas +0.15 -1.99 -1.84
It shouldn't, but from what I saw it got added to the box score. The box score folks are inconsistent as heck some nights. Wrongly allocated assists, blocks, etc.
LOF=irrational Its as if DD has reincarnated into 100s of posters. I bet the LOFs dont even know who DD refers to since they most likely band wagonned their way since last summer. Go jo
No bud, Lin had a terrible game. His TOs came at the most crucial time of the game and a momentum shifter. He suppose to be a floor leader when Harden was out.
Lin's turnovers didn't kill us in this game. We were up double digits in the 4th, weren't we? But we didn't run the offense effectively in the final quarter when Harden was sitting, and that's when the momentum shifted. Just too many bad offensive possessions. Start of 2nd and 4th quarter is Lin's show. That's his time to control the floor and make things happen, but he didn't have it tonight.
Bad game down the stretch by Lin..he just needs to be more patient...cant loose too much sleep...got to get ready for Friday and Sat...
it must kill you going to sleep at night knowing all the lin fans were correct about his abilities, huh? be sure to come back now, ya hear?
The team entered the 4th with a 10 point lead. Lin didn't have any TO's in the 4th. The Team had 3 x TO's in the 4th. 8:30 : James Harden turn over (Austin Rivers steals) 2:58 : James Harden turn over (Roger Mason steals) 1:28 : Carlos Delfino turn over (Greivis Vasquez steals) AND Lin only took 2 shots in the 4th (1/2), one of which was blocked. The misses were pretty much everyone else, with a LOT of wide open looks and some missed lay ups, as well as some blocked shots. Nice selective memory though...
Funny stuff... let me guess you didn't actually watch the game tonight did you? Dude you got no cred.
There was a turnover with a little over 10 minutes to go that resulted from a breakdown in the offense, to be honest. Lin drove into trouble, got pinned down and couldn't find an open man. Chandler ran to try to get the ball from him and got called for traveling when the pass came. The Lin drive around the 9 minute mark where he was blocked was pretty ugly, but this game wasn't Lin's fault. They were 0-8 from three-point range in the fourth and couldn't stop the perimeter shooters of the Hornets.
One night he played like a aggressive player but failed and all of sudden he is JR Smith??? Are you kidding me? SMFH...
We're both wrong. Just looked at the play by play again (4th quarter). 1/3. Missed one while reviewing it. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=400278241&period=4
