    Exactly. It's Harden who's running the show and initiates the offense 80% of the time. Today he took 24 shots.

    There is a another source that says Dwight knows the PF situation is going to change...

    So if we trade Asik does that mean we're stuck with Howard and his whining?

    I love "superstars" who like to blame other players. 5-16 from the FT line..... how many of your teammates are happy with that. Harden "we relied on our D to prevent the last shot of the game for the win. uhh no we relied on you our "superstar" to make the last shot and not rely on D. Stop the finger pointing share the ball and win we have the talent. Find a way to get Casspi/Cisco more involved in the offense instead of shooting 9-24.

    Also a big reason is our team doesn't know how to use him, they ignore him in the fast break and when he cuts to the basket.

    They need to practice more together, they have to get the entry pass working! Dwight can't dominate if they don't get him the ball in good spots.

    According to you, we will win this game without Lin's 16 points and his hustle plays?

    Exactly! That's why it was a bad idea for McHale and his assistants to try to turn Harden into mainly a facilitator and Lin a scorer by giving Lin the 6th man role rather than the pass first PG role. Since Harden is the starting PG, it's his responsibility to make sure players are getting the ball where they're most comfortable. But he's a shoot-first kinda player. It's really unprecedented.

    that's what happens when your primary play maker looks to score first and your only real PG comes off the bench.

    Dwight can't play either with good or HOF PGs, he just needs Chalmer level of PGs, as their BB IQ must compatible with each other.

    People who think dwight is whining because the PGs cant throw lobs dont make sense. Please just watch a couple of plays of lin with tysob chandler and youll see qhat I mean. You could also look at the lob to harden in the lakers game. Unbelievebly precise. What might be the issue is that Dwight doesnt get the entry passes he wants tho

    Its happened with everybody, from Beverley to Parsons... Harden ignores him 90% of the time, Lin has totally ignored him alot of thermos on fast breaks when he runs the floor. It's not about any one

    Lin should be the primary ball handler, not Harden.

    He can activate the Twin Towers like what he did with Tyson and Amare.

    This season his assist is miserable because the team don't need him as playmaker.

    tell Dwight to stop scoring for the other team, hit better FT 5-16, stop turning the ball over 4 TO and stop being a cry baby this isn't Orlando.

    After this game, Lin's stats push him to be the 13th in PG ranking.

    His FG% is 54.2% and 3PT% is 43.8%.
