I think it is a reflection of a major weakness of Lin's offense. He plays aggressively when and only when he has a High TO game. He needs to cut that down. On the other hand, if you want to me pick between whether he should play less aggressive or have more TOs, I would rather choose more TOs. But in no way I would say his TO is a good thing.
Doesnt matter. Ive seen the years when jordan tried to guard howard. It didht work. We know if howard guards griffin, he pribably doesnt score either. Cp3 is the catalyst and the onoy guy who can score. If barnes plays harden, which he cant, who guards parson. Clippers will double howard on every touch in the post.
I am just saying that when you make a statement like that you open yourself up to a PG controversy which coaches tend to avoid. The media and fans love a good PG controversy coaches not so much. Which is kind of my point. If it was all about the team and sacrifice harden would have taken less money and stayed in OKC a team that went to the finals.Instead he didn't want to sacrifice money and a starting position. And I don't blame him one bit. I agree with you on this. Personally I could careless about how many turnovers our players have. TO's don't bother me as long as guys are being aggressive and playing defense.
Is it just me or did it seem they are trying really hard to make Howard post up as a primary tool. At this point it's just not effective for the team. They did this up until the half. They then changed it up with a H&H PNR which seems so much more effective and the opposing team had no real answer for it. It also gave everyone else better looks and the offense just looked better. On a side note I loved how Jlin was using DH to give himself enough space with those 2 mid range shots in the fourth. It reminded me a lot of Tyson Chandler and him back in New York.
He got a chance to lose the starter position. It was called training camp and the preseason. How many practices have you been to? McHale has probably been to a few.
plenty of players play well in preseason but not so well in regular season. bev is unproven when it comes to playing 30+ full a full 82 season grind, lin has.
They have two players who can create shots off the dribble Crawford and Paul So they key is to limiting Paul and not allowing the Clippers off the ball movement so he will struggle finding the open players and limiting Crawford off the bench. Griffin's game fees off Paul finding him and getting open looks and guys like Reddick are good off the ball players who make cuts to be free for paul to find them. Reddick plays a lot like Allen did in Boston under Doc.
Harden turns the ball over just as much, if not more, than Lin. Harden averaging 4.67 turnovers through the 3 games. Lin 3.67
Great job by Parsons today, then Harden and then Lin did well 2nd half after sucking 1st half. One thing about Parsons: He does the fake shooting motion too many times.
Response I think he should decide once and for all who is his starting PG, Bev or Lin, and focus on building the team chemistry. Let's end this unnecessary drama.
Great game for Chandler... good to see him "back." Perhaps unfair expectations, but I don't even get nervous when we're down ~15 or so. I just wait for Harden to heat up and start going off.
The Heat, the Lakers of the early 00s, the '11 Mavs... There have been lots of teams in basketball that come back from deficits on a regular basis and have gone on to win championships. Basketball is very different from football. Momentum swings happen all game long in basketball. It's rare that a team dominates another team from start to finish, or even just maintains a lead from start to finish... And as long as those swings are happening, I'd rather be on the team that gets the last hit in than on the one that takes that hit.
