[Y Sports Radio] Calvin Murphy: Jeremy Lin Needs The Ball In His Hands

So I'm a troll because I don't believe that Lin is a superstar that's only being held back by Harden? Again, you are free to have whatever opinion you wish.

 

Your harden nuthugging is completely insane. No one is idiotic enough to believe harden is as good as lebron james.

 

You are a troll because you don't have any facts or even a reasoned opinion.

 

Again....did I ever say that he was "as good as Lebron James"? Try reading what I type rather than reading what you wish I typed.

 

What reason would I have to believe that Jeremy Lin is a superstar caliber player? A handful of good games? Sorry that's not enough for me. Most of the time he's hovering around average.

 

LOL, folks just have some fun here.:grin:

 

Enjoy your brief stay on clutchforums as a troll.

 

Yeah, I should create a "bobbytheLOF" account just for ish and giggles.

 

I certainly will and if the Admins of this site think it's trolling to merely say that Jeremy Lin isn't a superstar caliber player, they can feel free to ban me anytime.

 

Calvin Murphy has spoken the truth. Watching Harden holding the ball ISO for 5 seconds is one of the worst thing to watch on this Rockets team.

 

the truth is Jeremy Lin is the pg and James Harden is the sg. Yes James Harden is a good player and he can pass but he is not a pg.

 

That's the way I see KD playing. KD is no iso man and he gets involved with the other players setting up a potential play.

 

This. Its not a difficult concept. Get him the ball while he's moving, while the defenders are moving and adjusting instead of focused on him 3 feet behind theb3pt line with the rest of the team spread out behind the arc. Hell, you can still set a pick for him, just get him in better ****ing positions/situations. He doesn't need the ****ing ball in his hand every second. Defenders scrambling to adjust for him is only going to give someone else a chance as well.

 

That's sort of why I brought up the point about Mario Chalmers, sure he's the PG of his team, but the offense is run through Wade and Lebron, which is how it should be. Harden is arguably the best SG in the NBA, I think a lot of the offense should be run through him. That doesn't mean that Lin or whatever PG is on the floor shouldn't get their share of touches, I just think the best offensive player on the floor should touch it considerably more.

 

I know, man, you're just so.......


MISUNDERSTOOD. LMAO!

 

Only by some...

 

That's exactly the offense HOU's been running. What are the results? A 7 game losing streak.

 

I wouldn't call that hatred. more like frustration. And telling the truth.
But to be fair mcfail is a bigger problem than harden. And lin is a sissy for not speaking up
And it is only on the court

 

This is the most realistic option and probably best for the team.

I do not want Harden neutered and relegated to Kevin Martin's role. He is too good at creating for himself and for his teammates. He is a very good passer and can penetrate extremely well. The Dwayne Wade comparison is the best. He needs to be able to do his thing... just not 40 minutes a night.

Lin is obviously not a spot up shooter (wish he was good at it), but he is quick and able pass well.

I am not so sure why it is hard for McHale to play Harden 36 minutes again, let Lin play the 12 minutes that Harden is sitting and Harden run the point for the 12 minutes that Lin is on the bench... then split the 24 minutes a night they are on the floor together.

Although I dont think any of it will matter if they are not hitting their 3's.

 

Please, please don't compare them. Harden is averaging 5 assists/4TOs. Lebron is at 7/3. There is no comparison, as great as harden is. That is a joke.
