    Considering the Lakers and the Knicks are the leagues cash cows, i'm not surprised the refs didn't see it. History has shown the fakers get special treatment. Ask the Blazers in 2000 and the Kings in 2001

    I'm NOT a fan of Harden ISO'ing-till-the-last-minute-then-pass-the-ball-to-Lin either, but let's not blame Lin's poor shooting on Harden. Lin missed 2 back-to-back wide-open 3's in the first half, IIRC.

    we were leading when lin was on the bench in the 3rd quarter and didn't come until 5 or 6 minutes of the 4th. momentum and playing the starters starting the 4th quarter is very important but MCFAIL kept failing to do that. He has NO GAME, I meant NO PLAYBOOK.:mad:

    Mchale makes sure Lin doesn't go off because he benches him whether he's hot or cold.

    Steve Blake destroyed Jeremy Lin I can't wait till playoffs Lin will be exposed and we can put an end to all this hype just like the Schaub hype.

    Everyone already knows Lin is overhyped. The one who will be exposed is James Harden.

    The Spurs are going to Destroy the Lakers...the Rockets showed that you can let Dwight and Pau have theirs, but in the end their bench is suspect...

    The Lakers stymied for 3 and 1/2 quarters and then Mchale trying to run plays...smdh...

    Dwight Howard/Pau Gasol. One is pretty much a superstar while the other is all star caliber.

    So it's still 2 stars vs 1 star with solid role players. So I dunno if it's even worse o_O

    I am positive now that McHale doesn't like Lin benching him for a long time even though he is the starter or McHale does not know how to coach, or hates Chinese food.:grin:

    Clutch fans where going 6-20 in 48 minutes of play is a good thing.

    On the contrary... Lin if given the chance, may be the reason why we win something... just imho...

    And Steve Blake didnt destroy Lin...6-20 vs 4-14 (blake had 8 FT attempts and Lin had 4)

    Right on.

    McHale's coaching is so fail sometimes.

    Lin's weakness is his inconsistency and lack of confidence in his shot- what does McHale do? Bench him when hot, play him when he has lost momentum.

    Harden's weakness is his tendency to overcompensate and ball hog- what does McHale do? Iso a cold harden as much as possible.

    Delfino is a quick 3 point specialist with no hops- what does McHale do? Smallball! Play PF and get the rebounds Delfino!

    Harden & Lin excel in PnR situations- but what does McHale do? avoid screens and get players to dribble-drive to best your man.

    Perhaps Lin should hire a different shooting coach.

    You mean the Steve Blake who shot 6-20, and a few of those shots weren't even on Lin? He had 8 free throws, but 2 FTs were off last minute clock-killing fouls, and 4 FTs were off Beverly, and 2 were off Harden.
