    Defense by Ppat, Parsons, and harden was terrible in the first half, each 1 keeps getting caught by the pump fake, then drive

    it's the reason you need shooters to surround your superstar.

    Nope, he's been beasting.

    I have a feeling in that little players meeting that he was called out heavily. Ever since then he's been playing as well as you could expect out of him. He should be getting alot more post touches than Asik does because I feel like that will encourage him to focus on being big and a post player rather than what he has been for most of the season.

    JLin is ranked 76th in the league in Post Up D, but considering that these post ups are usually a result of mismatches when a SG-SF is backs him down, I'd say he's done an even better job than the stats reflect.

    Lin is also bigger and stronger than he looks. Couple that with quickness and he can be a capable post defender in certain situations. He did very well on Kobe in a few situations.

    Maybe McHale will bench him for the second half.. We're only playing Denver and and it's not like he has anything to do with the Rockets being up...

    Well he got to the line 4 times and 4 TOs - so it's not like he's not getting possessions.

    I might be wrong but the TO's came from strong D in the paint, not being careless..

    Lin doesn't turn the ball over too much. His issue is his outside shot and consistency of pace.

    Hardens TO's come from either forced drives against 2,3,4 defenders or a foul that is not called.
