    Don't be stupid son. Kyrie would still be the 6th man playing with Harden.

    Kyries like Jlin-Lite. Slower smaller worse D, worse passer. He's more consistent from 3 however.

    Huh?!? I was throwing a hypothetical out there, IF he had 9 assists on that last play where Bev threw the alley oop off the backboard rather than lay it in himself.

    Love the unselfish act of Harden giving Lin the ball to set up for his 10th assist. Also love that unselfish pass by Bev to Lin to score when both of them were on the fast break and Bev actually was ahead of Lin. The players seem to be good to each other. The fans of each respective player need to follow in line. LOL.

    Would you trade Harden for Melo?

    Bev is genuine, but Harden was reluctant to give Lin the ball but passed it because of the crowd :grin:

    Did they recognize it was Chinese New Years at all? Man would have been cool to know he got his 1st triple double on a lunar new year (horse)!

    I just don't understand why Harden after having bricked a terrible contested shot gets so much credit for giving Lin the opportunity for the final decisive assist. Knowing the game is already over it should be a matter of course to give your teammate the chance to get his triple double by any means necessary.
    I give props to Beverley for his unselfish play, keeping in mind he could have gone for a couple of easy buckets but instead he decided to pass the ball to his teammates.

    Cav is a really bad team. Not offending Lin's achievement tonite.

    It would be interesting to hear morey's take on if games like this make it more or less likely to trade lin. I do say this, if we trade him send him to the east

    Yep, that's what I also noticed. Harden first went iso to brick a shot. On the next possession he realized the crowd wanted Lin to go for his triple double and then he was like" Whatever, do what you got to do, Lin."
