    Harden won't sniff 40 mpg this year. He was obviously worn out at the end of last year. I'd expect 34-35 a game, and those 13-14 minutes must be Lin-run minutes. But we also had many occasions where they were not stacked. But again, it's not simply stacking the mins that way. Jeremy needs to come out looking to score, so does Harden, it's all about the get go. 1 of them cannot get going if both start (ever notice when Harden was hurt, Lin's numbers went up?). Put him in at 4 minutes left in the first, and he would own.

    Really? You think McHale would play him if he didn't like him. You got to quit posting this stuff. You're not helping Lin.

    Bev cant do that the entire game, he gets beat just as much as anyone else. His hawkish D draws fouls a lot, and when it doesnt he gets beat just as much as Lin has.

    Easy - because he is Asian and a Harvard grad and was undrafted (undrafted because he is Asian and played in the smaller, supposedly less competitive Ivy League - although the second factor doesn't seem to affect other small less competitive league players as much especially if they are black or white.) Lin himself has said that he will always have doubters. And this is the South.

    Yeah about that. I don't mean to sound like an over-sensitive Lin fan that's out to get Beverly, but I do think Beverly's defense is a bit overrated on this site. Reggie Jackson, a 4.5 ppg player, averaged about 17 and change and shot like 45% from the field against Bev with starter's minutes.

    No... that's not why Iggy is currently worth more than Lin.

    I have to remind myself that our team didn't have a training camp together last year. But now the team is completely different and they have the whole summer to work together and build chemistry. I'm expecting us to look much more polished this year. It's going to be a great season!

    Hey, there have been plenty of crazy LOH that I could have insulted, but refrained from doing...either leave the delusional LOF alone or make a counter argument, which shouldn't be too hard considering the inaccuracies of his statement

    you win the stupid award. Andre Iggy is a top 10 defensive player, defense=half the game.

    Much easier just calling him an idiot.

    But since he wanted to talk about last year struggles to prove they are 'one dimensional' ...

    What I don't understand is why people must resort to calling each other "idiots" while attempting to just have an argument. Even if their opinion, quite frankly, is illogical and incredibly unintelligent, there's no use calling him an delusional fan or an idiot. I mean, Morey doesn't care what ANY of you guys think, so no matter who you point fingers to and call names towards, if Morey (who is a lot better at basketball and talent analysis than all of us btw) isn't' doing anything, all of your arguments are pointless.

    Anyways... back on topic. In my opinion, no use trading Lin unless we are getting a better POINT GUARD. (Only really 10-15 better PG in the league tbh, and very few can we actually get.) And no, Beverley is not better than Lin, nor good enough as a starter. Canaan might be, but I haven't exactly watched him so I won't talk about him.
