Lin is choking in the 2nd half.

You're telling me Kmart and Lin together would be a scoring blitz? Maybe you need to watch some games from last year and not butcher what I said.

That's not what he was replying to though...He was replying to you saying, "Lin no defense and limited scoring."

But ya, Lin isn't carrying himself out there like this is his team.

This is not his team. This is Harden's team. Lin understands that since the first day Harden came here.

Lin never gets the opportunities to run this team and frankly I think Lin doesn't want to give the impression that now Rox is his team since Harden is just out for one day.

This place cracks me up sometimes. From the unbelievably clever McFail nickname to the people who think Lin is the best player ever to those who think he's the worst thing to happen to basketball. Everyone thinks they're a better coach than a Hall of Fame player that has his team overachieving (consensus by damned near every opposing team's announcers) to varying degrees. Yes, we suck at defense. It's something that needs work, but people act like McHale is oblivious to that fact. I'm sure it's worked on in practice. I'm sure it's near the top of their list of things to tweak and improve, but it's not something that happens overnight, especially team defense. But those guys that played pickup ball at the local rec center know better, of course. That's why they've turned down all of those head coaching jobs at the Y. Those poor 10 year olds are missing out.

Yes, his rotations are odd at times, but there are most likely reasons behind them that those calling him McFail can't quite see or grasp. They just know the people that they think (using the word loosely here, of course) should be playing, aren't playing or that those who they think should be sitting aren't sitting. He's by no means perfect as a coach, but he's helped a team that many predicted to win 18-28 games all year to a playoff contender.

Yes, we started out down 23 or something ridiculous in this game. It happens. Teams get hot for a quarter or half or even game. We've done it to other teams. Tonight it's happening to us. We cut it to 11 or 12, but now they built it back up. We will probably get back within 10 at some point, all without out best player (no, not Lin). Yes, we will most likely lose by double digits. Is it disappointing? Sure. Will McHale use it to teach? Probably. Games like this are a good time to try new sets, player combinations, defensive schemes, and even inbounds plays.

But hate on, haters. Keep using that clever epithet. I'll keep watching a team come into its own, develop an identity, and growing.

I didn't say that though. He butchered my quote. I said Lin and Kmart no defense and limitted scoring. He decided to cut it up. Oh well.
