    In Jan and Feb, Lin is averaging 4 trips the line per game.

    That's only slightly below what Chris Paul and Tony Parker are doing.

    He has also improved his 3pt shooting.

    As a result, his True Shooting % is not above 53.

    Yes but your statement is also misleading. If you put tony Parker next to harden, both parker and harden's numbers will go down. The key to the Rox is to find that right balance...

    Yeap, because until recently Lin has had a lot of borderline average scoring games. They've been the highest scoring starting backcourt since the start of the season and he's only been averaging 12 ppg. But he's proved he can score a lot more and if he can stay consistent that will also open up the floor for Harden and he will get better shots and score more...

    LOL the point of the thread is for everyone to agree that we have the best backcourt in the league, not for LOF or LOHs to nitpick who's pulling more weight.

    Right now everyone will agree that Lin is AT WORST, better than an average pg. I mean, average pgs don't have 28 pts and 8 assists. Harden is probably the best SG in the league. So we have the best backcourt. End of story.

    Things were different last year we had asik setting screens like clock work and stretch 4s, with Howard needing the ball this year and no stretch 4 bev is best fit as of now.

    But plenty of people and rockets fans have learned not to count a guy like Lin out, he's been inconsistent and I'm sure he knows it. People can have there fun criticizing now etc but as rockets fan we all saw what he can do before PLENTY of nights. he's in a slump but I would be a fool to count him out.
