    How about you STFU and stop shooting worse than a 2nd grader at freethrows

    I agree with you apollo33. He needs to be more serious and either dominate like Shaq under the hoop or improve his free throws.
    See, with Shaq, he throws it down and push you to the ground even if you foul him. Shaq is like "you dare to foul me, I punch you in the face!"
    Dwight needs to intimidate, not be friends with opponents when they are playing on the court. :)

    3 straight games they've gotten out to a slow start and had to make a huge comeback.

    the fact that they've made the comeback each time is a great sign, but there is a real problem with how they start the game.

    either mchale, the twin towers, or howard isn't working.

    i agree that lin is better off the bench, but that's not a knock against him. we don't need his offense in the starting lineup. manu and harden also came off the bench for lesser players who were better on defense.

    lin has to produce with the ball in his hand. its easier for him to succeed (have the ball in his hands) when harden and dwight are out. its also better for a second unit to have a go to guy.

    i don't see why its so insulting. just enjoy the fact that he's playing well and getting starter minutes.

    LOl Dwight Howard probably hasnt been thrilled since the Magic were in the finals.

    Who does he want here though that Houston can realistically acquire? If you had a legit variety of post moves and learned to shoot a 15 footer at some point you'd get more chances to score.

    Freaking Serge Ibaka learned to shoot a jumper in a year, what are you waiting for?

    what made anyone think the twin towers could work in the first place? Pau Gasol was the perfect compliment on paper. He has an outside game so doesnt havent to be stuck in the post. He can help out defensively with rebounding and blocks and the offensive genius that is Mike D'Antoni couldnt even get that to work at all.

    But somehow this crack staff on the bench is going to make it work with Asik who is infinitely inferior to Gasol on offense? I'm not shocked it's turning into a disaster. If you want to wait 20 games to pull the plug fine, but what's going to change that'll make things work?

    Sorry, but I don't think real insiders leak stuff like this. I want more from OP before I take this seriously. Who really knows who cyberx is?

    Lin's PER is 19.08. According to Hollinger this number is close to an allstar number. Lin is doing great.Howard should look at himself Barkley, Kerr, and Shaq did not have anything good to say about him. Barklet said he does not know how to post up, he can't pass and he has almost no moves except the dunk from the lob.

    They will say he is a credible source. All summer long a lot posters kept saying he has an inside track on everything. Better believe he had an inside track.

    We need a past first PG with either a decent shot or solid defense.. Let's go after Rondo!!!

    Cyberx is legit.

    Didn't he say something about LaMarcus Aldridge a few days ago? I wonder if the pieces are coming together?

    Asik + Bev + Lin + pick for Aldridge & scrubs???

    You sincerely think that the starting lineup is playing great O now?
    They are both shoot first SGs who pass well instead of a pass first PG who scores well.

    Surprised no one has created a "Jeremy Lin and Jonathan Martin" thread trying to draw parallels.
