    Wish we had a consistent mid range shooter but we traded ours away

    calm down

    first post (for me)!

    people, realize we have 20 something b2b games. Even though they've had a handful of nights rest, they still have injuries, soreness, and other health issues that slow them down. Defense will suffer b/c this is an offensive team

    What we need is solid defending and glass work. That might have to come through FA or draft though. As of now the team is what it is, and it's hardly ever shown more any defensive presence.

    It's simple comparative advantage. If we ask our main offensive guys to step it up on defense, we lose some measure of offense. However, bring a couple of solid guys + big FA? I guarantee GREAT things

    can't be asking guys to be supermen on the court (even if the Beard is making a solid case for it)

    Lin needs to really step it up and look for his shot more. Hardens knee looks to be taking a toll.

    Careful there, if Lin shoots too much he may get benched for being a home run hitter

    I know playing 6 minutes with 3 assists was horrible, start Beverley in the 2nd Half.

    Harden is hardly aggressive on offense tonight. Early on I was getting horrible flashbacks of the Toronto game

    Harden looks off tonight must be the knee so everyone else better bring it.

    Harden lacks focus and looks disinterested

    Don't know what's your problem againt Lin. From what I've been seeing ALL SEASON LONG, as soon as Lin gets hot in the first quarter, McFail would sit his ass for over 7 to 8 minutes to cool him off. Remember, McFail doesn't want Lin to have big games, so don't get your hopes up.

    He has not really been aggressive offensively so he has focused on other things.

    He had 3 assists and played damn good D, that doesn't sound like disappearing to me...
