    Dragic is destroying both Bev and Lin. Let's leave it at that.

    Harden coexisted with Westbrook just fine.

    I'm not even sweating, we're winning this game. We just need to cut down on those dumb turnovers and run back after a shot goes off. We'll win this game regardless if Dragic gets 40+.

    Parsons? IDK at this point. maybe Garcia, Hamilton, some longer players. Bev is a mismatch vs Dragic.

    Doesn't help that Lin was rubbed off on 2 screens. Lin got pass the first one, but trapped on the second, thus forcing Dwight to switch.

    Nobody's getting lit up, Dragic just has a very hot hand.

    Lin lost us game 6 against okc from the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth. He's either out of control or a non factor on offense and a non factor on defense.

    You mean those games when Harden was out and Lin's going off like 30+/12 against the Spurs?

    Majority of Dragic points came from someone else other than Lin guarding Dragic. Regardless, he is just hot. Sometimes good offense can trump good defense, so no, it would be also wrong to blame Beverly.

    I should make a Dragic voodoo doll for when he plays us... Now I know how Spurs felt during the playoffs that year. :(

    Paul George could not stop Dragic when they met this season, even though Paul switched on him.

    Suns won both games.

    So you suggest to start Dragic and let Harden come off the bench? Good luck with that...

    Mostly Bev. Lin is mainly playing the 2 guarding Green, who has not caught fire. If he does, it will be trouble

    You are right, the rockets got the lead back when Lin came back in and defended Gragic we'll and made som assists.

    If we're going to assign blame at all, since Bev's the starting PG more of it's on him.

    Pacers are 0-2 against the Suns and Dragic had huge games both times. Not sure against the Heat though but if Dragic is hot, he is too good.
