    Lin has an absolutely terrible 1st half he almost always comes back in the 2nd and does well; but this is the playoffs so...

    His ball skills are great when nobody is around. Horrible otherwise

    Lin is playing like ****, but I'm sure it's McHale's fault.

    Nailed it.

    A bounce pass from the baseline through the lane to the opposite corner never works in the NBA. It seemed like he was also trying to baseball pass through a defender's legs at the same time. Could be among the worst point guard decisions in the playoffs all time.

    Bev played in Europe's playoffs. Bev is the same age as Lin.

    Lin's getting paid 8 mil a year, way more than any of the members on this site(most likely) --- Yes, we can tear him apart when he plays like "HOT GARBAGE".

    It's not rocket science.

    explanation on lin/mchail tonight thus far?

    they should probably sit lin but FYI...

    in Morey's reddit AMA, his 3 word response to the question "what's the game plan vs OKC?" was increase the variance.

    ie, going head to head vs OKC we will lose the majority of the time. the plan thus to take more risk in the most controlled manner as possible.

    this obviously doesnt explain lin's non performance (shots, [maybe TOs]), but it is consistent with his actions (3pt attempts), and perhaps with mchail not taking lin out (ie for what he was doing on defence).

    Talk about sticky ball...only 6 assists in the first half. Harden had a lot to be blamed for the early start...he was pressing too much. The first half of the 2nd quarter was good...and then steamed roll down here starting with Harden's bad TO....followed by Lin's three plays and two TOs. No need to panic....just play your damn style of ball....not the ISO kind.

    He was doing a PnR, not "just bringing up the ball". The TO is solely Lin's fault though.

    We are going full r****ded mode with small ball. You will see Lin gets trapped more when we play small ball against OKC.
