Not sure what you're saying. I've disagreed with your assessment of Lin's play (I do not think it was "poor"), so not trying to justify anything....
The Rockets got cap space, which helped them sign players and build a deeper roster.
Good thing he got it back in Game 5...
I've told you a zillion times, I am not a LOF. I am a LF and a basketball fan. And I am sitting, not standing.
You can choose what threads you read. No one is twisting your arm to be here.
That's fine. Harden might be a super-good guy for all we know. But I can only go by what I read and hear. My impression is that there are far more...
Yup!

Why are biblical quotes "whining"? Yup...I think Jordan was the greatest player of all-time, but I was never a Chicago Bulls fan. And Kobe was a...
Never said I hated him. But character means a lot to me, and Harden seems to lack it. And an occasional trip to a strip club doesn't bother...
Easier to play with pressure when the coach has your back. D'Antoni does that for his players.
No, they were not going to build a team around Lin (although Morey did tell Jeremy that when he signed...should have realized that a $8M/year...
Actually, no...the reason he got "demoted" was because the team was making a strong commitment to Harden, and Beverley's 3-and-D strength were a...
