    But...but...but Harden's the better player so he must have the ball in his hands for the last shot /sarcasm

    LOL, that was such an absurd turnaround. Do that again please!

    More TT lineup to dig another hole, followed by Casspi and Lin to ****ing blast off ahead.

    this, Lin should initiate every possession, he can probe the defense and make it so much easier on Harden when Harden gets the ball, rather than these brutal Harden iso's

    Just checked the +/- on the box score.

    It's pretty hilarious.

    Keep getting those fouls on Paul. They are useless without him. Collision is not a good point.

    Exactly! When Lin starts and plays with Harden he basically just stands in the corner and does nothing, but when he can run the offense with the second unit, he makes those guys better while also making himself look better!

    I like Lin, but this is the offense without the twin towers lineup.

    The key is we are playing team basketball.
    Everyone is getting his touches!

    Why are there so many cheap shots at Harden and Bev just because the team is playing great? Anyways, rotations and the offense is alot smoother, all the ballhandlers have been patient in waiting to set up a decent play, 8 assists on 11 shots made!

    Starters are just having issues scoring for now. I like Lin coming with the 2nd unit. Imagine if they didn't have to play catchup and then the 2nd unit shows up.:eek:

    Lin coming off the bench was probably the best idea of the bunch this season. He gets to run the show and offense does not stagnate.

    I like him coming off the bench still. Once Bev and Parsons get out of their shooting rut, the starting lineup will be just fine.

    Lin's right arm seems to be bothering him?

    You know it is not about proving that it is working or not - it is about figuring out a way to make it work. Why do we do that when the alternative is working so good? Two reasons:

    1. You want to give your best players the most minutes. Figuring out why it is not working now and how to make it work would be well worth the growing pains now.

    2. Trade value. We can`t be seen as the team that needs to get rid of a player. We need to show Asiks value both as a player and to our team.

    Lin should be THE starter. Beverly is just a good defender but cant créate
