    He didnt get 11 the last time he played Lin. Didn't we not win 2 games in a row without Bev. LOL And if he was playing he wouldnt shut down CP3 or force him to turn the ball over.

    Ancient history; welcome to the new world. Kobe was out, the Lakers were in disarray. Clips didn't have a Harden to deal with.

    This is what we will really see...

    ~ Beard eurostepping Blake
    ~ Dwight hitting 10/12 FTs, DeAndre 0/4 FTS
    ~ Jeremy posting up CP3 (correct :) )
    ~ Harden hitting a halfcourt buzzer-beater
    ~ CP25 playing 25 minutes scoring 25 points without getting called for travel
    ~ Gar3a + Cassipisanity
    ~ Omri doing an Arabian dance after making every bucket and 1
    ~ Asik sweating
    ~ a blowout Win
    ~ a partridge in a palm tree

    Or just a Win to remain undefeated to maintain that 82-0. :grin:

    Good call. Harden didn't play in both the second and third games.

    I'm sure I'll be labeled a hater for pointing this out, but it isn't true at all. Harden, Chandler, Jeremy and even Dwight were all criticized in the game thread for turning the ball over so much:

    - I'd like to see Parsons find his shot and the team clean up the turnovers.
    - Parsons has to work on how he starts his dribbles. Those turnovers were ugly.
    -Sometimes it feels like Dwight creates more turnovers than actual shot attempts.
    - omg now harden getting in on the turnovers...
    - Damn Harden and these freaking turnovers
    - a race to which of our rockets can have the most impressive turnovers

    There are a ton of whole team criticisms re: turnovers in there as well. The Jeremy criticisms overwhelmed the thread because his fans came running to defend him against the same criticism everybody else got, and it ballooned into a conversation about how his turnovers are actually a good thing and a comparison of his turnovers versus CP3 and other PGs in the league, etc.

    CP3 didn't play that game, unless I'm looking at the wrong thing :confused:

    ETA: Anyway turnovers were a collective issue last game... everybody could stand to take better care of the ball. It seemed like Steph got flustered after he turned the ball over for like 3 possessions straight and could never get his head back in the game.

    I don't remember how well Lin did against CP3 last season, but it shouldn't be any worse this time (especially since Lin's gotten better defensively). Seeing Bev guarding Paul would have been interesting.

    Oh yea I remember Hakeem mentioned Lin has really good post up game...but then you know Hakeem's credit isn't that high right now since Howard is sucking at his post up...

    I was speaking specifically about PGs. I could be wrong, but last time we played them, all if not most of Jeremy's TOs came on the hands of CP3. If you haven't noticed, Lin's been doing a lot more ball handling duties this season. Not sure why you think it's a problem to think that Lin might have a TO problem tonight with CP3, a pretty good defender, on him.

    Oh yea, gonna love this matchup! The Turkish Hammer and the crybabies (BG & DJ)! Omer hasn't had a good offensive game. I want to see him go off on those 2 softies.

    lin needs to learn from bev in this category, just dumping the ball to harden so cp3 won't have any chance to make a steal.
