    Lin should not start, he is given everyone roller coaster rides. we need consistency in Patrick Beverly. Right now Lin is a wild card. There's still hope since he is playing much better D now.

    You don't honestly believe he played good defense tonight, do you?

    I saw his demeanor in the recent games, too, his attitude is like whatever when he misses a defensive assignment or the stepping on the line for the three today. I suspect he gave up trying to play for McHale, which is understandable. Dude loves playing basketball and a pretty decent baller, so why would he quit?

    I thought holding Teague 2-12 is pretty decent

    I guess we have to agree to disagree.

    I'm pissed right now with the production we have gotten from the point guards, mainly Lin and for Daryl to go out this year and draft another midget to play the point, it's mine boggling!! :mad:

    That damn midget haven't hit a shot all year!:rolleyes:

    All he had to do was pay Dragic the extra year

    So you are calling him a mentally weak fragile quitter?

    I do believe he played good defense. He stayed in front of his man, didn't get beat off the dribble and contested most of the shots. The hawks was playing our kind style of offense. Attacking on the fastbreak. Tonight you could see couple of times where Lin is going back on defense, while hawks attacked 3 on 2. He did what he had to do on defense. If you disagree then tell me where did he play bad defense?

    Dragic had 21 points 8 assists on 6-10 shooting and 4-5 3pt line. Good job Morey.

    I just don't think he's that into and to me I think he is Kendell Marshall of the Lakers, without the court vision and the handle. I just don't think he is going to command $8MM per for what he brings to the table.

    Great GM....just has a tendency of overplaying his hand too often.

    There is probably a lot of **** going on between him and McHale we don't know about. Quitting on ur coach is not something out of the ordinary, especially if he is an ******* to you. There is nothing mentally weak fragile about that

    Dragic is a 19 and 6 assists points a game right now and s averaging 21 points this month 6 assists on over 50% from both he 3pt line and the field,The guy is a borderline allstar.

    Common. Everything about Lin shows that Lin is a mentally fragile weak player. His disappearances come playoff time. His expressions when his shot is not falling. His passive play when facing adversity.

    Lin's time is coming to an end. He better learn to play with Harden, Howard and Parsons - the Rox 3 best players.

    Hence I suggested the rockets to trade him. Paying that much money for a bench player is not worth it.

    Beverly is much more consistent which is why he's the starter. Lin plays better off he bench.

    Get well soon Bev.

    How do you know McHale is an *******?.Almost every player and individual connected to him has never and an issue wth him. Only Lowry was pissed because Dragic took over the starting spot with some amazing games.
