    The big question is why does bev gets so many chances to prove his starting material all while wrestling lin's job away? Proves mchale doesn't like Lin

    You put bev's intensity along side George with Hibbert as the anchor.... That would be Detroit pistons version 2.0 on defense.....

    One of the best pg's in the league was Mo Cheeks and his D was outstanding and with all the talent that was around him that's all he had to concentrate on..

    don't worry that guy is a troll. he just repeats what the media says, like you said. it's kind of funny that FTW Rockets says the same stuff he says every year about Lin's deficiencies, even though Lin corrected most of his weaknesses.

    WHY!!! What can a 2nd play maker do if he doesn't have the ball... This is why Lin is the 6th man...

    You know nothing about me. I have been defending Lin against Bev all along. Stop making stuff up.

    To be honest, I was a Lin fan and still am. I think he is a better overall PG than Bev and has plenty to offer to the Rockets

    However, the comments by the 13ers seem eerily similar to those made by LOF's at jeremylin.net

    I went there for 6 minutes a few days back during game day just to see what it was all about and it was ridiculous

    From calling Clutch a Lin Hater to calling McHale a racist to calling Bev a monkey to wishing death upon Clutchfans. Absolutely shocking comments from those low lives.

    When I see a comment similar to that, I turn on the LOF

    I will be ok though. I'm never going to that site again.

    You serious or sarcastic?

    Harden doesn't literally "hog" the ball 100% of the time. He does share plays with other players. Last years stats did show Hardens usage rate went down with Lin on the floor. Therefore, the ball was shared.

    Lin is the 6th man, because the bench has no play makers.

    Ultimately, Harden needs to learn how to play off ball in many traditional sets good teams/coaches like Pacers, Spurs, Sloan, Rivers etc run. During regular seasons, you gotta work on your weakness more than just exploit your strength or something easy to do. In this vein, Lin needs to start to feel more pressure and learn to improve his ball handling as well as decision making. As someone mentioned, if LBJ/Wade can share the ball and win, there is no reason Harden cannot share it with Lin/Parsons/Howard. And in PO, you will need the best players on your team together for most of the court time.

    Sure, if the goal is just get by and waits for McHale's to expire, then no need for any change in strategy and attitude.

    well no one is making you go there, i think? It's okay to have an opinion, that's cool. At least be fair. Lin has corrected lot's of his weaknesses. THough not all. He still makes defensive lapses absolutely as PFV has stated. He still makes the homerun pass way too much. It's all in good faith and excercise though. Lin can improve, And i think he will. I just worry about his health.

    Hardin hogs the ball the same as Francis... Stats don't tell the entire story.. Learned that when I watched Michael Young at UH and Machine Gun Kelly at TSU... They had great stats..

    Hardin and Lin game are too similar, they both need the ball in their hand.. They both need a teammate like steve kerr who want need to ball in their hand to create a shot.

    Like I said before, you start Lin with Hardin and you guys will be having fits and the GARM will go crazy the same as last year. When everyone was complaining about Lin just standing in the corner, Lin not driving, Hardin not passing the ball to Lin, Hardin is selfish.. etc...

    Come on, man. That is a very important assist. His in your face defense, fitting well with Harden and ability to run our offense are the main reasons that we only lost by 33.

    Give him some credit, will you?
