Lol. Dude was 6-18. Against the Clips he was 1-9. This was supposed to be his time to shine as a starter. He sucks man. Deal with it
MY GOD LIN SUCKS...what hurts more is that we pay the scrub $15million dollars next year. God i wish we send him somewhere else, so we can finally end this Lin this, Lin that contraversy. I hope Cannan is ready to go next year as our change of pace PG off the bench.
Good defense at the 1 takes quick LATERAL speed and high basketball IQ. Quick, find another solution!

If you want to see Jeremy play better, you have to play him to his strengths. This means having him be the decision maker. The reason why Linsanity worked and last year worked was because he did not have to make those decisions about when to be aggressive and assertive, and basically had the green light to do whatever he wanted. He didn't have to second guess himself and his own playmaking instincts took over. Lin is a very mediocre "plug and play" kind of player and so far can only dominate when he is in rhythm. He plays well when he is the one dictating tempo. Now, is this a good idea for the Rockets? Well, considering that Harden is a much better player, I would say no. But a middle ground would be to give Lin the "JR Smith/Ginobili" license to be "The Man" whenever he is on the floor, even if it is with Harden, and to stagger their minutes. At the end of the day, you can't have it both ways - you can't have Lin play well and play third fiddle. Let him loose or trade him.
Before his injury earlier this year, Lin was shooting almost 50 percent. With the Knicks and with Houston last year, Lin was shooting 45%. Even with that horrible stretch of stinkers in February, Lin is still shooting 45% on the year. This is with him getting yanked every three minutes. You can argue that Lin has faults, but I don't think shooting percentage is an issue. This isn't Rafer Alston we're talking about.
This thread doesn't make any sense. The opportunity has already been there. It's good he can play with the Raptors, but he's still a liability against the Heat.
