Again, you play to your players' strength. If it wasn't Harden on the floor but say Steven Novak, I'm 100% sure they'd have kept Lin in the game -...
But we are NOT San Antonio. They've got Duncan who has both an excellent low-post game AND is an even better PnR big. That's not to mention he has...
Not sure. I noticed that Lin always takes an outside shot very early in the game (almost as a test to see if he's got his shooting touch back). If...
+1. You articulate it so much better than I did. LOL. :grin:
If you wouldn't mind showing a newbie how to upload a picture, I'd be happy to post screenshots here. :grin: (When I click on the "picture" icon,...
I agree. One can even argue that we might have lost the game because Harden was exhausted towards the end thanks to the coaching playing him...
Can't say I agree. TD is definitely more aggressive and pesters his man, but that doesn't make him a better defender. Contrary to eye test,...
What do you expect them to say? "Our $100M backcourt isn't playing well together because Lin can't shoot well yet?" At first I thought it was...
I don't know how to paste Twitter feeds here (sorry) but if you go view Jason Friedman's (@JasonCFriedman) tweets from yesterday, he explained...
Look, I'm NOT saying 1) I agree with the coach's decision, or 2) Douglas is better than Lin, or 3) Lin deserves to be benched. I don't like it...
I understand that. :) Stats can only tell you so much. Again, NOT saying Douglas is better than Lin (NO WAY!). But the notion that Douglas got...
That's not how +/- is calculated. Say Rox is down by 20 when Lin enters, but only down by 10 when Lin leaves the court, he gets a +10. In other...
Well, here are the stats so far: Harden+TD+Delfino (+36) Harden+Lin+Delfino (+33) Harden+TD (+18) Harden+Lin (-34) FWIW I think...
Check out their +/- stats on nba.com and you'll see why. I wasn't pulling it out of thin air when I said Harden played better with Douglas than...
Defino, who has the best +/- stats right now on the team, makes everyone better. :) With +/- stats, you can look at any player combination...
Without a doubt he's struggling with his shots, but we've seen what he can do. It remains a fact that no one has ever scored more points in his...
Harden+Douglas has a better +/- stat than Harden+Lin thus far. Small sample size, yes, but that's what the stats reflect so far. NOT saying...
We can disagree; we are obviously entitled to our own opinion. :) I am a huge fan of Lin too and want to see him succeed. But stats don't lie....
Hmm... The quote about McHale came from Lin, who we know is always genuine. You don't see him praising Woodson like that. As for Sampson, he did...
One can dream. :grin: Besides, if Harden's out & Lin gets yanked, who plays PG? Toney I-am-actually-a-streaky-shooting-guard-in-disguise Douglas? :p
