lin was brought here to dominate the ball and lead the team whatever land you want to term. unfortunately he's never had a chance to show his talent coz we got harden right before the season started. i am not sure what type player you envisioned he would be before harden was here.
Andrew Bynum needs his knees. McHale needs to play Terrance Jones at least ten minutes for rebounding purposes.
It isn't just that... Even when he isn't playing off the ball he is inconsistent. I have seen his teammates and coaches get on him to be more aggressive. He just ebbs and flows. He is not a bad player... But just is maddening.
Lin needs to pull a Kobe and say give me the ball... Wait a minute he's the point guard and Lesley will make sure he won't get traded... Who has the leverage here to step up and play his game?
When you are in the playoffs or in crunch time of a close game when the game tightens up, that's when small ball is at its least effective. Make a wild guess when McHale likes to go small ball disproportionately: In crunch times of close games.
The thing is Harden uses up most of the team's posessions, so when he has an off night, the team will lose more often than not. It's up to him to defer more to his teammates especially when he is playing on one leg.
This is on McHale and Sampson for not correcting the problems. Seriously, they should teach all our bigs to focus on grabbing all the rebounds and play bigs especially Asik towards the end of the close games.
Anyone else see McHale walk off the court to the tunnel right after that shot hit? Or did I just imagine it?
The Rockets were like the shy person who is too shy to accept a gift the person who's offering it keeps it instead. Bucks: "go ahead darling take the W. It's for you, from me." (in most sensual voice) Rockets: "umm... heheheh... you sure??" Bucks: "yea" Rockets: "thanks... you're very kind... but I'm still not sure if... I really should.. take it?" Bucks: "never mind! We'll keep it. Thanks" It was like that in 4th quarter. When they had the chance to score and pull away it seemed like they became hesitant. The Bucks smelled it, took their chance and ran like dat b**** Monta did to locker room after he nailed the lucky shot.
Harden really needs to work on his D. Ranked 286 in Synergy. That's 286th out of 400-some players in the league (of which maybe 300 get consistent minutes). NOTE 1: Chandler Parsons - 272nd. WTF HAPPENED???? NOTE 2: Jeremy Lin - 196th.
I said I don't understand some people's blind love, I never said I give a damn. Who give a damn about a blind douche like you btw?
The guys is standing in the corner for a 3, what do you want him to do? Steal the ball from his teammates?
I don't think he disappears - he's just not involved in the play. The same way anyone being used as a spot-up shooter will "disappear" - he's spacing the floor so the others can run their play.
