THIS ^^ Lin is a non factor if he is not being play as point. I don't know about you, but I am just sick and try of 4 players standing not doing anything.
His most egregious errors occured when he was trying to make plays. If he were more consistent and less prone to turning the ball over in spectacular fashion, he would be given more responsibility in the offense. As of now, Harden is by far the better option.
LOL...the game was definitely not on 1 single player....he may have sucked it up terribly...but most players did.
FAIL-Lin Like the great Yao Ming experiment, this Jeremy experiment is also FAIL-Lin! Get your playoff t-shirt and wear it. Then just keep waiting and waiting and waiting. Waiting for that same delivery that Yao Ming was supposed to deliver. In the meantime keep attending those Rockets games, enjoy watching Jeremy develop, like they see the players develop with the D-League Vipers down in the Rio Grande, Le$lie Alexander will appreciate it. * Too bad many of you never saw and ENJOYED a player by the name of Hakeem Olajuwon and those Houston Rockets who put on a show and brought Houston an NBA Championship ..."those were the days". These Rockets don't have a chance, this year or next or the one there after... so just wait and wait and wait.
The team as a whole played poorly and Lin played very poorly, but the OP has to be an idiot and blame a single player for the entire game.
Harden ISO? Less turn over but keep bricking rims. When Harden is trying to make plays, he's turning over ball more than Lin.
What the **** are you talking about? Yao ming was by no means an "experiment". The dude was the best center in the league when he was healthy, he made Dwight Howard look like a b**** numerous times and was virtually unguardable in the post. And yao ALWAYS delivered in the playoffs. Hate on Lin all you want but don't **** with the great wall breh. Its not his fault his body broke down.
They've been having to keep their heads down for a while now. They're just releasing all the pent-up hate.
Another moron posting a moronic thread. Good riddance. Must be New Yorkers. I can't see folks in Texas creating this.
He's also scoring more, shooting more efficiently, and commanding more attention on his drives. And dont' give me this "Harden ISO" crap either. Compared to other stars in this league he iso's very little.
LOL, You are absolutely correct. JLin play single handily by himself against the OKC players. At least JLin got 91 points by himself vs. the entire OKC players only got 120. Not bad at all if you as me. JLin Vs. OKC
Only problem is Harden cannot do all. As good as Harden is, he cannot be the only answer to the team's problem. The game is a 5v5, you need everyone to be at their best. While Lin has problem, but it can be fixed if there is mentorship available. But there is none from the McHale. Wtf does it meant "(McHale) encouraged Lin to remain aggressive without becoming reckless"???!?!? What is the definition of reckless? Turn over too much? 10 TO/Game is reckless for Lin, but great for Harden? It doesn't make sense. If you are the ball handler, you will get a lot of turnover. Look at the elite point guard, CP3, Westbrook, Parker, they all have high turnover.
It must be McHale's fault and the rest of the coaching staff, I'd go as far as blaming L.Alexander for not spoiling his players like Cuban does, or maybe it's Comcast fault for not reaching a deal with cable provides?
What was Harden's FG%, what was Parson's? This team shot bad, they don't play any defense, when they shoot poorly they will lose... it happened against the Lakers late in the season too. When you're shooting in the 30 percentile range from the field and in the 20 percentile from three, it's not one players fault. That said, we have no post presence that we can go to when the jumpers aren't falling and too often they settle for jumpers instead of attacking the rim. With all that said, young team, hope the nucleus can continue to improve and compete for 4-5 seed and second round appearance next year and also maybe scare the Thunder a bit this year.
