    You have to give it to Thibs, what an incredibly untankable coach.

    Nope not kidding at all ! Didn't say he is better than Lin at all just said he has the ball EVERY play more than harden here. But I will say Lins Defense is better. & Lin will be a better player in the long run. Way faster, better on D, just has to work on decision making and be on the right team

    HAHAHA better in the future? Yeah right keep dreaming. If Dragic retired today, Lin would never be able to put up the numbers Dragic has or lead a team the way Dragic has.

    He already did that as a rookie basically when we cut him. I'm open to talking this with anybody here but like I said you can't compare him as of now dude has the ball every play and green light

    What did I just read, lin isn't as good as gogi now and guessing on who has more potential is pointless at this point.

    Also how can you possibly say that lin is a better defender than dragic, lin has only played with 2 monster interior defenders in chandler and dwight who cover up many of the perimeter mistakes while dragic has ummm not played with elite rim protecters recently , although plumlee is ballin

    We should, their offense is predictable after watching them tonight, but we do take off on D some nights

    I'm glad the suns lost, but that will make tomorrow night's game that much tougher.

    So your saying that lin having actually 3 rim protecters (dwight, chandler and I forgot Asik last year), that's right 3 top 5 rim protecters hasent made lin seem like a better defender.

    If you out the dragon in this defence I'm sure you would be thinking the same thing as you are with lin. Lin is pretty inconsistent in his covers and having someone like a dwight can make lins defence look better and that goes for all our players on both sides of the court

    Well, I would love to have Goran back like the majority of us. Thinking he would put similar stats and be a potential all star with us as he is doing with the Suns now is ridiculous.

    Goran has had an amazing year, not doubt and recently he has been playing out of his mind! But he is the primary and only ball handler for the Suns with Bledsoe out, so he gets all the touches he wants and then some. He gets Harden's plus Lin's touches there with the Suns. He would not be anywhere near successful in our team with Harden and him fighting for ball dominance.

    If Goran was on our team, he would probably be putting up numbers that Lin put up for us last year of ~14ppg, ~7apg. He would probably average a few less turnovers, or at least silly turnovers that Lin seems to get get regularly but everything else is comparable with Lin's output.

    And honestly, while I do think Goran makes this team better, I would rather have Lin. Outside of this year, with Goran's usage going up the roof while Jeremy's is decreasing, mind you, their numbers are almost identical. And without a player option like we would have with Dragic, options for free agency 2015 is still wide open.

    I made a statement from the jump saying after watching this game dragic has the ball EVERY play, has green light, gets screens so we can't compare him to Lin. People who dislike Lin who have league pass or watched tonight can even say that's true. Then I gave my opinion that Lins D is better yes his one on one didn't say nothing about all that rim protection stuff u talking. So I'm out we think other wise and that's cool bro.

    This is basically everything I said thanks for this bro, Lin is younger so that's why I said Lin will be better down the road THATS MY OPIONON THO, but dragic is better now because of the less turnovers beachside of Lins DUMB to he does. Dragic also has a better shot. But Lin is quicker and his shot can improve an he plays better D. Like this man said dragic is basically Lin in mike D offense right now doing anything he wants do, so you can't compare him

    If motet would've took dwill for Asik + Lin you would've saw what Lin was about under Kidd coaching him with a green light and KG setting picks with pierce & joe to kick it to
