How in the hell does a confirmed Lin hater start a trollish thread and you end up dogging Lin fans????????

But to be fair, cp3 is ranked just below LeBron and Durant. And also, who doesnt? If Lin outplays CP3, he'd have been ranked in the top 100 (!) Silly comparison.
Oh wow, Lin was a big topic even before he signed? Gotta look up the threads from when he signed now...
Actually I think they coexist just fine. Harden's the star, Lin's the 6th man. It's only in the minds of LOFs that they can't coexist because they want to see the Lin in NY who dominated the ball under D'Antoni's system. Lin had his chance last year. He was given opportunities. Even ran plays for him to shoot the last shot in crucial games. But he blew it. He started the season shooting atrociously and he ended the season laying a big egg in the playoffs. This is something the LOFs don't want to admit. He's not this Asian kid anymore who was being discriminated. It's about what have you done for me lately. He had his chance to be a co-star but he blew it. Can he earn it back? Of course. He's had a good start to the season so far but he has a reputation he now needs to overcome. It's on him to continue proving his doubters wrong because his doubters last year surely felt vindicated.
They can play together. One starts (Harden), the other off the bench. Lin has play well and Harden well its just his effort on defense and he force the offense sometimes. It's a group effort not just on defense but on offense. At the beginning of the games they are starting so slow offensively and defensively they lack the effort and want to make up on the last quarter or last two quarters. They just need to fix the line up and they need time to get to each other. They need to learn how to throw a lob, they need this really bad It wouldn't hurt to pass the ball more often to Howard and pass it early on the clock and pass it well. I also think that they need to slow down their pace like not rushing things. They keep on making the same mistakes as last year. Just slow it down. (especially Parsons)
last year PPAT addressed we must share the ball more and call him out. PPAT get trade away lately. this year Lin get outta his way. what's next? dwright? how much further are you gonna spoil this flawed "supastar"?

When you have two players who are best with the ball in their hands play together, at least one of them will have to adjust their game. Lin had to adjust his game last year, because Harden is the better and more efficient scorer. That's why in games where Harden did not play last year, Lin put out impressive numbers (ie. 38 pts vs Spurs). If they did coexist just fine, IMHO Lin would still be a starter with Harden. (Actually stats from last season show that Lin was a more efficient scorer then Harden during crunch time, but Lin does not have the ego.) Lin didn't play well during the beginning of last season, but coming off knee surgery and being forced to change your game can kinda do that. He also got injured early in the Playoffs and could not even lift his shooting arm. BTW its possible Bev is still injured and that's why he hasn't been playing well lately.
Obviously if one had to go it would be Lin. Can't co-exist? Judging from last year's season they have the potential to be the best back court in the NBA.
What about the GlenRice guy? who was the one that kept making bets about lin then upping it during his run, nekminit he drops 38 on the lakers HAHAHAHAHA
