    When Bev and Lin are on the court, I see two guys fighting in every way they can. When howard plays, once in a while I see a guy making excuses instead of making efforts.

    man dwight "gimme the ball in the post so i can get stripped and turn it over" howard needs to STFU. All I see is 100% effort from bev and lin on BOTH sides of the court.

    Oh yes please. Although I doubt the Raptors will take Lin without throwing a lot more in to sweeten the pot.

    Lin has never called out anyone in public before, period. Not here, and not in NYC either. Nothing's gained from it. He's one of the most diplomatic people in the league.

    Indeed. I didn't notice that no one helped Jeremy up on that play. If that leads to better free-throw shooting, perhaps Dwight should fall and have people help him up before going to the line.

    (I'm definitely just trolling at this point. I'm surprised that I was called out for expressing the idea that both Dwight AND Lin have things to work on).

    They gotta stop bounce passing the ball to Howard and Asik... Really though, I doubt Howard is grumbling and Lin/Beverly are a competent duo.

    They tend to bounce pass because Asik doesn't catch well. Same reason why there were so few alley-oops last season. Of course with Dwight now I guess they're trying to change.

    The entire team has things to work on save Hardens offense.

    I think a thought that sheds more light on things is that last year, even after the Harden trade the expectations were not very high. No one was thinking "contender"

    Now this year, anything short of a WCF appearance is considered a failure. So my point here is that the public as well as the players themselves are under pressure that they didn't have last year.

    I think this in part accounts for Parson's slow start, especially being thought of by some as Houston's "big 3".

    This is also likely to be his payday year.. he wants good stats for heading into contract talks. Lots of pressure for lots of reasons for him.

    Casspi has taken some of the shine off Parsons. Casspi plays the PF version of Parsons even better.

    Parsons has got to get rid of his pumpfake-travel thing. And practice on his 3pt shooting again, or else. He may not get his extension with us.

    The lack of Chemistry might be the rumbling coming out of Dwights camp which is causing the on court tantrums. Even Clyde mentioned that it seemed these guys did not like eachother.

    Is this even relevant if true? Is Dwight the GM or a player under contract with us for several years?

    Dwight needs to suck it up and STHU. Take lead from Omer Asik who might be mad but haven't made stupid noises about only playing 20mins/night since we signed DH.

    It takes more than a few months for team chemistry to develop and for our guards to learn how to play with him. He should use this time to go practice his FTs, learn how to set better screens, and be a better vocal defensive leader (i.e. look at Marc Gasol films and learn how he orchestrates and anchors Memphis' defense). If he really wanted to play with an elite PG, well *****, should've paid a little more attention when Golden State and Stephen Curry went calling.

    To be fair his free throws or atleast his follow through on his action looks more fluid.

    Trade Asik and Lin to Bargnani,Felton and Pregioni then Mchael will be happy,Asik and Lin will be released w/ their contracts as what many thinks and I guessed that's a very good trade for both teams

    Go back to Knicks board with that trade. Morey will never trade Asik and Lin for Bargnani + fillers. Over. His. Dead. Body,

    I just can't imagine that this is true. And if Clyde said it, that makes it even more likely to be wrong. I love the guy since the Phi Slamma Jamma days but he's far from the sharpest tool in the shed.

    You can see on Dwight's face and in his body language that he is happier. We're only a few games into the season and the chemistry will only get better.
