I agree, Lin needs better game situation awareness. No excuse to not check your feet when you are down 3 toward the end of the game.
I don't know if I can agree with that. Lin controlled the ball a lot against the Lakers, his assist number would have been up had others knocked down open look shots while he wasn't able to get his offense going. The Hawks game was completely different, he was just, well, passive.
True, it's flip of a second reaction. Beside it's AB turnover was forced Rox in a bad situation at endgame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Di-UqBXa28k
Actually, with 16 seconds left on the clock. I am not sure if it's clear that it is mathematically the overwhelmingly better thing for Lin to check the foot before shooting it-- trading a lower chance of making the shot for higher certainty that the shot taken is a 3. Specifically, a made 2 point shot was still of value to the team. They could foul and have time for another offensive possession. That's why Harden was driving for a quick two after the defender closed in on him on the 3 point line. This wasn't a situation where there is 2 seconds left on the clock and this was the absolute last chance. There is a difference still between being down 1 with 16 seconds left and having to foul and being down 3 with 16 seconds left and having to foul.
Don't give a **** about a moniker, and Blade Runner is a boring ass movie, BORING!!!! Now how do you feel about the game (Sarcasm) or continue this playground kindergarten stuff?
Going off ESPNs stats Possessions per game: Last year 98.6 This year 97.9 Points per 100 possessions Last year 106.7 This year 107.2 Pace is essentially the same and the offense is more efficient
if p bev wasn't injured j lin will still be on the bench or traded with asik. why play hard if you know the team wants to ship you out anyway
Wasn't way over the line. Feet touches the line. The ref on his side saw it. The other ref had his hand up for a 3. I fault him for not already be positioned behind the line but not for not checking at that moment... loses rhythm and time for a quality shot
This is why I stopped arguing about our style of play. Whatever I said was ignored with namecalling. I am just waiting for Raptors to make my point for me and Rockets to collapse. Maybe, there might be a change in the off-season after all this. Asik IS smart. He noticed what was going on and he distanced himself from the team. He will also get what he wants eventually even if it is the off-season.
This.. we are more efficient BUT we so far have a pattern of playing worse as the game move on... I would guess our eff starts off high and go downhill from there to a point where we are ranked quiet poorly in the 4th. Somewhat opposite of last year where we starts slow, improve as the game go on, have a bit of a dip in the 4th, but not as major a dip as this year.
