Just a bizarre sentiment. There are lots of successful coaches who try to empower their players, not emasculate them. There is nothing shameful...
Note that after McHale screamed at Lin, he played worse. Obviously, embarrassing him doesn't work on Lin. We've seen this plenty of times before....
Bad coaching. OKC had the most turnovers in the NBA last year. Sam Presti has a policy to have his point guard play through turnovers in order to...
The McHale tough love theory sort of goes out the window considering that McHale NEVER complains to the refs when Lin doesn't get a foul call, or...
Like the player trainer Idan Ravin said once, "Failure to understand a player's psyche is a flaw in the disciplinarian style of some coaches....

According to Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus Avery was not as good a defensive player as Lin last year and was much worse on offense:...
A block and end-to-end dunk is not #3 worthy for one day of highlights? Please don't be absurd.
What are you even talking about? He doesn't have the quickness to explode through defenders like Rose and Westbrook? What is exploding through...
No, there were some who expected Houston to be this good, even a little better. I did. The website NBA Geek predicted 50 wins. Daryl Morey...
I can give one objective standard by which Lin is excelling, just as he did last year. Lin is 3rd among starting point guards in...

Stupid poll. Lin isn't a point guard in this system as has been covered elsewhere numerous times on ClutchFans now. Last year, when Lin WAS a...
Don't know if this has been posted in this thread but: Lin: “I think everyone’s trying to do the right thing,” Lin said. “It’s not working...
This was actually an incredibly dense hatchet job. Lin's defense was fantastic last year. His team defense is elite and team defense is much more...
You are free to pretend that Houston's coaches were not misusing Lin earlier in the season, but it wasn't only loudmouths here who noticed it....
The Rockets have accelerometers built into their practice jerseys. According to a Daryl Morey, Harden is not even in the top 3 for acceleration...
Oh, dear. This is incredibly stupid for so many reasons. No one, not a single person in the world, thinks unadjusted +/- is useful for evaluating...
