    I agree. Should have been a choice. It really depends on how the game is going. If Jeremy Lin is absolutely owning his primary defender (however likely that may/may not be) then he should have the ball.

    If Dwight's been posterizing Dirk on the switch, then we should try to get Dirk switched to Dwight....

    If Parsons breaks Danny Green's Final's 3 point record & we're down by 3 in a game 6 elimination game...... we should probably try to get Parsons an open 3.

    If not Lin, it'll be somebody else but won't Harden. Lin will get his true market value when his current contract expires, be it with the Rox or not. The Harden-WB debate was because WB was calling his own number far too often and limiting KD's usage.

    1 in 4 Clutchfans posters think Harden shouldn't be the guy to have the ball on the final possession.

    25% of the most die hard of Rockets fans think their franchise permieter player, in a perimeter-oriented league, who is one of the most effective scorers in the league (top 5ish?), shouldn't be the main option when we need a bucket. That is a little ridiculous.

    Obviously, if he's double teamed and a shooter is wide open, you move the ball. But otherwise, come on. Come on. We can do better than this, CF.

    i would have him take the shot but i wouldn't give the ball to him and expect him to create the shot for himself.

    I didn't vote, because it will depend on the situation at the end of each game.

    It will be up to our coach to decide. Hopefully based on the match up.

    P&R w/ Howard for the jam or baby hook inside or pull up jumper.

    Ether way Harden has the ball in his hands. It's his choice to pass - drive - take the jumper.
