    I think if the coaching staff is going to insist on using Lin like Kevin Martin, we might as well trade him. Toney Douglas is much more cheaper than Lin yet can fulfill most of that role the coaching staff wants to put on him.

    Does Lin have to take 3;s on this offense? Is he not allowed to drive to the basket?

    I don't think that Douglas is a worse defender, I think Douglas and Lin play two different kinds of defense, and the benefits of each are situational.

    Douglas plays very aggressive defense, constantly pressuring the ball-handler. This causes a bunch of turnovers from rookie/backup guards with shaky handles. He's a little better at fighting through soft picks, but worse at handling hard picks. And I agree that he's a bit worse from a team defense standpoint.

    Lin plays "smart" defense. He exhibits almost no on-ball pressure, but he always tries to force his man into lower percentage plays. And clearly, he's very opportunistic with great hands to collect all his steals.


    Douglas's defense looks a lot better to the casual observer because he appears more active, but I'm not sure if one method is really more effective than the other.

    I can't stand the NO announcer continuing to say that Parsons started out his career in France. I understand it was the lockout and played a little bit but damn is he that stupid?

    Don't try and post up Lin, I don't think anyone has score on him when they tried that.
