i'm still trying to understand how does lin get to be focal point in wins in losses when it's a team game. aren't there other players we can talk about?

 

was that a poem?

 

Can we end the twin towers project? It's not working as a long-term lineup.

 

would have had just as many assists as Paul if his teammates were knocking down shots like the Clippers.

 

No he's not. You are making this up to make him look mad. I just replied to two people dumping on Lin.

 

I'm upset at both. More at Harden but this is a team game and the Clippers are good.

Guess what? We have the same record now.

 

Yeah, I'm hope his back has been feeling better or at 100%. I don't mind crappy nights once in a while. Even with our poor defense, had Harden showed up offensively, at least, we'd be seeing maybe a close 130 points game for both teams. We might even see Blake, Redick, and Jordan fouling out too. :grin:

 

Lin looked a bit gassed out during the fourth. That's why having Beverley shared the total load, along with Brooks, is critical in my mind. Guess we won't be able to see Howard, Harden, Parsons, Lin, and Beverley going against this Clippers team until the 3rd meeting.

 

We shot 50%....

 

Look, another Lin apologist.

I'll assume you don't understand how pressuring the ball limits passing lanes. Thanks.

 

Great effort....lets move on and get ready for tomorrow.


The first loss is always the toughest...

 

Nope. I actually like Lin's game, but LOFs are getting really easy to spot now-a-days.

 

Harden has been (rightfully) criticized throughout this. entire. thread.

 

Yes, Chris Paul is way better than Jeremy Lin. Yes, we definitely could have used Patrick Beverley. Blah, blah, blah...

Our game was lost in the 1st quarter when James Harden refused to play a lick of defense. He let Redick and Dudley have whatever shots they wanted. And than when he had the ball, what does James do, he jacks them up. We were practically playing 6 on 4 because James forgot what jersey he was wearing.

And I hate complaining about refs, but some of those calls were just plain dumb. Completely took Howard out of the game in the 1st half.

I can't wait till Beverley comes back. You can ***** on Lin's defense but he gives efforts and actually tries, I don't know if I can ever say that Harden. I would've killed for a Beverley/Lin backcourt tonight.

 

I guess Lin would have 30 assists tonight.

 

you should do yourself a favor and stop posting on clutchfans forever

 

Reddick elite shooter , that's hardens weakness

 

What's your alternative plan? "Do something better"?

 

No. Ames Haren did. First it was leDick, then they switch him to Doodly & he took turn to r@p e the beard repeatedly. Seems like they ganged up on him, even Crawlford chipped in.
