    I agree with this. I prefer Lin being aggressive versus camping out in the corner. Even if he misses it puts pressure on the D and opens up things next time down the floor.

    The problem is that he's been horrible shooting near the basket this season :(

    Yes. He wasn't forcing up a bad shot. He needs to do more of these. THey will fall. I can live with this

    Everytime Lin gets a pick and a drive into the paint good things have been happening.

    Coach shouldn't drill him about it and make him play so worried about mistakes. That little close shot he missed would go down if that play was run a few more times during the game. Its a good high percentage play that should be used more often.

    That will open up his confidence and the rest of the shooting will come too, they have to try it.

    If we lose, it will be due to the bad calls from the refs.

    Batum bailing them out big time with tons of long contested shots.

    And the officiating has been pretty awful.

    good shot by Lin, but it's gotta be a consistent finish there. Especially while his outside shot is off

    Lin couldn't finish but he showed some explosiveness. Good sign.

    The fact that we had a pretty decent lead shriveling down to 1 boggles my mind alll thanks to Batum.. mann I predict a close 4th with blazers taking the win :/

    Yeah I thought it was sarcasm.

    Every time Harden misses a similar shot about 8 people scream heroball.

    I'm glad people are agreeing with Lin staying aggressive and driving like that.

    Even if he misses it'll open up put backs.

    Hopefully more pick and rolls are set for him in the 4th and spot up Douglas.

    Nothing will be worse than even without Harden they still camp Lin out, that would really be bad coaching..

    No kidding, I'm cringing everytime they get o-faced when a Blazers finishes. They sound more like fanboys than commentors.
