Harden has taken double amount of shots of what lin has had for a total of 6 % difference of 48(harden) and Lins's 54. I can bet Harden's shots were more contested. and harder. So the so called better % is not as black and white. Also Harden has been to the free line 20 times more then lin so far. It shows he puts far more pressure on the defense.As for assists, Harden actually has more assists then lin as well.
Harden is averaging 10 minutes more per game, but Lin is drawing fouls at the higher rate. I'm not saying Lin is a better scorer than Harden, but right now his efficiency is godlike. It will be extremely difficult for him to continue playing at this level, if he does he deserves a huge contract.
Lin is playing like we envisioned when we signed him. Efficient and a very good player at pushing the tempo which suits our strengths.
Harden ego problem, no open pass Lin, laziness and chemical destroyer all caused by Lin. Harden and Lin no co-exist on court. Coach no train Harden to play hard because Harden held back by The Joke. Get rid of Joke, Harden be league MVP immediately. Jeremy "The Joke" Lin has to go! Dei has forseen it!
if harden played in the structure of the offense, antiMchalians may say, what offense? but if harden did play within the offense like most games last year, those shots would be less 'contested'. he puts himself and the team in that position.
Just looking at the stats Howard went 5/10 only had 10shots???? harden 9/24... Seem like we only have one superstar. It's early so there is room to improve I will say that but this is a big problem as of now
Harden was very efficient prior to that game and was shooting at 52% prior to that.Overrall Harden is shooting at 48% this season which is very good for a SG. What is hurting him is that 3PT shot.
Jeremy Lin is....Jeremy Lin. He will not ever be a Tony Parker, Deron Williams, Rondo or even Kyle Lowry who is 100 times the player Jeremy is. If you accept the fact that our PG is average at best and doesn't do anything particularly well, you won't be as disappointed. Jeremy gives exceptional effort, but the problem is simple. He just isn't that great of a player. Period. Effort doesn't always align with talent. Ask Ryan Bowen.
hope Jeremy get traded but they won't trade him.they need him. you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall,
