With the way Lin is playing I would just sit him for the entire 4th qtr, obviously it's not his night.
If on nearly every other play Dragic gets at least two screens for penetration then its on the help D to be honest. I think if we ran plays like that for Bev/Harden/Lin we will see different stats put up by the guards in our team. These comments really want to make comparisons between apples and oranges its not even funny.
That's why LIN will always be considered average cuz of bogus plays like that. It's like he can never be consistently good. Make one great play and then do some other stupid plays later...such as dribbling off the leg or committing foul letting Dragic go to the line knowing we're in foul trouble.
I'm still at work so I can't watch the game, but is he playing off the ball? If so, there's your answer. PG duties = confidence for Lin. No PG duties = boring Lin.
