during the jazz free throw, i see the team stand around togehter and whispering together, i see their team work and chemistry... good sign
That was Lin motioning Harden over for a hand-off. Harden waved him off - told him to take the possession. Lin drives into the open lane for a lay-up.
2-1 would below average for PG. Before this game Lin was 2.2 to 1 which rank 30th. 2.68 would be the mean and around 15th in league. Hopefully, he gets closer to middle by the end of the season.
Glad to see Parson and Delfino back...you see how much of a difference those guys make. They're needed for shooting. Lin finally attack more...this is the kind of game i want to see from him game after game. And i hope the coach continue to trust in him and let him attack more rather than going to Harden every single time. Overall, virtually everyone play well in this game. One thing i learned....Greg Smith is not a good defender seeing him haven't a hard time guarding Utah's big men.
If Lin was hitting his jumpers it would be Linsanity 2.0 . that's really all that is missing. His 38% from 3 and his 9 to 18 foot floater. zzpot
The only thing Lin was doing badly was shooting and over the last 4 games it changed....even against oklahoma city....he shot well just not enough. He needs to take 15 a game....
how old is he? why you wanna 6years of contract to a point guard? there are a lot of good guard out there and young ones keep coming.
I don't know if anybody noticed but the coaching staff finally let Lin play PG tonight most of the time. Therefore the better statistics for him but more importantly this way of playing will help the team and be more interesting to watch. The better teams in the league will shut down ISO plays in the playoffs and you won't go far.
imagine we won one of the OT games and the game referees stole against miami...rockets would be the 4th Team in the west...
How good is this! :grin: - Harden didn't push anything and made great plays - Lin got his mojo back - Asik played like Shaq - 2Pat 20pt 3 in a row - Parsons MIP front runner - the whole bench played great Has to work on their defense though. Lakers coming up next!
Yea our transition defense still isn't great and our guards go over screens instead of under them, allowing open 3's. Foye was killing the team today. Harden couldn't really keep up with him. Would have been better to switch Parsons on him, but I'm ok with it either way.
I like the western conference... so competitive.. A good win, high scoring race.. a good overall team effort..
Welcome back, Carlos! He brought a lot of energy every time he came in. Playmaking and guns blazing Asik and PPat with those 3 blocks in the closing min gave us separation.
<br> That's exactly how I read that situation as well. And I liked it a lot. The handoff to Harden is too predictable and leads teams to completely focus on him
