Exactly. This is especially true for Asik, he gets noticeably winded and his performance suffers as his minutes get above 30.
If ClutchFans were a company, and you were its product, I would say there are some serious ****ing quality control issues happening in-house. Probably should just close this product line...
It's absolutely true and you have to have an "agenda" yourself not to see it or admit it. Look back to the first game McHale coached after returning from his leave of absence. It was against Dallas at home. Lin and Asik played 18 and 20 minutes apiece and neither played the 4th quarter and we lost. That was NOT a stamina issue. Look it up if you don't believe me. Unfortunately for you the facts are not on your side.
Maybe it's just me, but I have a sneaking suspicion you might be headed for a little break from the bbs. Very little of what you post is based in fact and this latest gem is just another lame troll attempt.
But there are recent facts to support this. Do you recall we just got blown out by Indiana and Memphis and then blew out the Clippers without him. Even James says that he has to recover or he is hurting the team. Read his comments for crying out loud.
He struggled in two games against top tier teams. Right before those two games he led us to a win against the Spurs and won player of the week. Lets compare his bad 2 game stretch to some of the other players... We beat a tired Clippers team, who are in the midst of a collapse, playing an away game and the worst team in the league playing an away game without 2 of their better players, and all of a sudden Harden has been getting in the way of our eliteness.
I don't disagree with what you're saying although his defense in one game was so bad McHale pulled all the starters. Just read Harden's own words. He said the same thing I'm repeating - he needs to heal or he's hurting the team.
You conveniently fail to mention the Clippers game without James where we were blown out. You also conveniently fail to mention the MANY games James has won for us. You also conveniently fail to mention the MANY games Lin has been worthless for us. You also conveniently fail to mention the games where Harden and Lin have done perfectly well next to each other. And here you are calling out others for their "agenda"...
Awww, backtracking a bit now on the aggressiveness because you're afraid of the dunce cap you're about to have to wear in the time out corner? How cute... I've seen my 3 year-old niece do this exact same thing multiple times.
If I get suspended because I criticize Harden then this forum is not worth being in. So no I'm not worried....
Somehow I think it would be more because of the fact that you are detrimental to discussions, as negative as anyone here, propogate and promote rumors, and generally have nothing to contribute other than a fight which you carry on with limitless energy.
No way in hell a bad coach would win with the Heat or with Jordan's Bulls. They'll make the playoffs but they would lose in the playoffs.
Of course. Everyone can win game, but you can only win champion with a great coach and great players. That's why Knicks never win eventhought they have Pat Riley. Despite great coach and very good players, Phil Jackson's Bull is better.
I don't understand why people say Lin has noticeable stamina issues. You don't think McHale would have said as much by now? We all know that McHale has spoken about Asik's stamina issues.
Because, to me, he looks noticeably fatigued at the end of long stints. More so than Harden or Parsons. His efficiency drop in second night of back-to-backs is also telling.
He always looks noticeably fatigued that is just him. McHale said already that he was in shape. I just find it really difficult to believe that Lin wouldn't work diligently on his conditioning this summer. Of all things that would be the first thing he would improve considering he had a season ending knee surgery last year because he wasn't conditioned well enough for starter minutes. And this was a guy who never expected Harden to be traded here. And Lin is all over the place this season consistency wise, his efficiency dropping on the second nights of backs could be a result of SO many other factors that have little to with stamina.
