    Whoa wait a minutes.....so Lin gets a play called from the bench and just cause Harden is in la la land and doesn't get the memo you want Lin to change the play on the fly on his own and just hand it off to Harden?? THe other 3 guys on the floor would be standing there confused, so that's just silly! Lin actually salvaged the possession getting Parsons a PnR with a big and Chandler couldnt blow by him...forcing Lin to get the ball 30 feet away with 3 seconds left.

    People need to stop rehashing Harden's 6th man days in OKC. Yes he was fine off the ball back then, but that's because he was the freaking 6th man on a rookie contract! He's changed, he's now the max franchise player. He doesnt have the exact same mentality and playing style he did when he was a Thunder.

    Just because Eric Bledsoe was cool playing offf the ball with CP3, doesnt mean he'll be ok or as willing to do with Goran Dragic a year from now.

    If you pause the video at 11th second, and check out the score board at the bottom right corner, both team have 3 timeouts left. It's still my opinion if the PG saw something now right in the critical play (possibly the last play of the game) he should call a timeout.

    and if you have played ball, usually player don't know how much timeouts are left, it is the coaches job to know that...

    Yeah no, you're grasping for straws. It's a single number and it's the last play of the game, everyone in the building should know how many timeouts both you and the other team have left.

    Bottom line is that Harden played well, & Lin did not. Out of control (at times.)


    ALA Allen Leavell.





    Yeah, that's right. I just said it. Allen Leavell.

    at least there is something, and something did not happen. that's enough to tell a lot. your blindfolding yourself tell a lot too.

    i throw down my word here. your "star" is spoiled into to a egoist ballhog that want every possession in his hand in the crunch time make himself the hero, otherwise he is not interested to run any play. in a short word cancer of the team. like it or not, or believe it or not, just wait and see. he will keep acting like that till all coaches cant take it anymore and there will be a major shakedown, either they get a real coach strongly submit him to play with the team, or if he resist to change he will get traded away in the end. Unlike kobe, his ability is not enough win this team enough matches by his own, hence he will be a liability if he keep acting like that. defend him anytime your want, just wait and see how things emerge. he is what he is.

    Jeremy Lin isn't as good as harden. But he should jst play elsewhere because they need a pass-first PG with the likes of harden and dwight on the team.
