    He's shooting well over 50% this year. Yes, he is averaging 4 TO's, but his TO numbers are similar to Harden and Lin. If you give him more shot attempts, things start to open up offensively. Our shooters will have more open shots.

    Effective ones are few and far between because the ball handlers don't know how to pass do Dwight when he's open and rolling to the basket, it's ridiculous.

    Don't think he is complaining about the player but mchale's pg rotation.

    The first thing Lin learned to do was to throw lobs.
    Beverley starting was never meant for him to make plays.

    I hardly comment on the site, but read every day. The writing was on the wall before we even signed Dwight, fellas. Lin wasnt include in anything this offseason. Why is this news. Dwight and Harden are still immature and have a lot of growing to do. Hopefully they can do that together and learn to win as a team. Lin and Asik will be traded, regardless if they are two of the better character guys on the team. Professional basketball is cutthroat and about winning. Right now, the way this team is constructed, we won't win a championship.

    Moves will be made and this team will be molded around Dwight and James. Like it or not.

    Actually

    The real reason we lost was Chandler passed to Dwight on the in bound. IF he knows he is a 50% shooter he shouldn't have passed the ball to him on critical situation at the end of the game.

    Parsons is always making stupid mistakes, turn overs, traveling and such. He made a terrible pass to Lin and then Lin on another play actually passed the ball from far to him and chandler couldn't catch the ball. If you saw the replay parsons didn't even jumped and he was cover by CP3 so he had the eight advantage. Or like other plays he makes rookie mistakes like the lob from harden or a fast break that he missed instead of passing. I think Parsons is hurting us more he is suppose to be the leader and has been the longest on the Rockets

    The PGs are not "thrilled" with the team's FT's situation.

    I don't know but there were tweets saying Dwight was wearing Lin's jersey before the game against LA. I get the feeling Dwight and Lin have a good relationship. I have no idea if Dwight wearing Lin's jersey means anything at all.

    man why is there so much tension? We read too much into **** like this. It should be, if we win great, if we lose improve on mistakes and look to win the next one.

    I would suggest that the Point Guards don't shoot 5-8 from the freethrow line, then. Including 0 points in one trip.

    This team has a LOT of issues, and we knew it would take time for them to gel.

    Good luck to the coaching staff.

    Yeah, the guy with the 80% career FT% is the problem here.

    Bwaahaha.

    If Dwight showed the guts and tenacity of our PGs, we'd be in a much better position. What a friggin child Dwight is if this is true.

    I don't necessarily think we have bad PGs at all. What's wrong with having Bev as the starting PG with Lin backing him up? I think they are very solid PG options.

    Dwight still the Best Center in the League with his Free Throw Shooting Ability and lead his team in Orlando in the Finals.. He's a Center of Course.. What's Parson's Free Throw Excuse, hell even Harden's? Lin still average player.. can't wait to get rid of him...

    Vasquez probably fell in that black hole in Sac. He showed he could play , with these weapons he could lead the league in assists or asset

    Good grief, so much hyperventilating. We're 6 GAMES into the season, relax. It was a bad play and the defense broke down (looked to me like Nash was holding Lin pretty tight and Bev didn't move over to defend as he should have) - it happens sometimes. So what? There were numerous points of failure in last night's game, and every one of them cost us the game. It'll take them at least a dozen or so games to start to really get used to each other. I'm not worried about this crapola. The TT experiment worries me alot more than gossip.

    I don;t doubt cyberx's reliability or sources, but if I remember correctly he's a huge LAL fan, so take that into consideration. I'm pretty sure no one on our side would want our dirty laundry aired like this. But it's *exactly* what the LAL want to happen. It fits their "See, Dwight's a spoiled brat who will be a cancer on your team" agenda.

    Ignore it. Relax. A 4-2 start isn't reason to hit the panic button, even if it should have been 5-1.

    Harden and Howard must be a pain in the rear end to coach. Jeremy was the best player on the floor for us yesterday.

    Are you talking about the 2 FTs that he missed after he fell hard on the floor and looked like he may have hurt his wrist and yet no one came to help him up?

    They're probably sick of helping him up everytime he wanders into the paint.

    I jest.

    But seriously Lin. Stop falling before you injure yourself seriously.
