I'm more concerned with Harden's TOs when he tries to force it 1 on 3 or makes lazy passes or gets stripped at the top of the key than when Asik drops a pass or he's obviously hacked. 8 TO's last night wasn't all due to Asik's hands or lack of calls. Some nights Harden gets 5 TO's and can't get a call. I can live with that as the Refs seems to really make it hard on younger players and teams vs "superstar" rosters. It's nights like last night that deserve some fair criticism. For example, Lin's transition pass was terrible. Transition passes over 2 defenders is one thing, in between 2 defenders is trying for the home run pass (too risky). His Offensive foul was BS. The Asik passes... mixed feelings as Asik started catching the ball after some fumbled passes and now has a ton of points.
It's actually the opposite - when Lin is on the floor and doesn't have the ball, they leave Lin open. Lin is a liability on the offensive end when he doesn't have the ball.
Lin was supposed to work on going left, jumper and 3 pt during offseason he didn't cuz of injury he will this off season
Harden's turnovers didn't hurt the team last night.. Just like Lin's turnovers aren't hurting the team tonight.
