    Sounds like whoever posted that was talking about games against Toronto and Utah THIS YEAR.

    Be realistic. He is never gonna go to that level a.k.a "Linsanity" again.[/QUOTE]

    He is talking about the recent Utah and Toronto games.

    And most of the time nice guys don't fare well in this world. Lin gotta stop being such a good Christian on the court.

    In all his interviews, Lin always looks like he has just been punched in the face..

    Lin had no problem taking over last season. It's not so much about being a "good Christian" as it is about him being confused about his role on the team.

    He was 2nd in the league in TO before tonight's game. Probably in the lead now. But he plays a lot of minutes and has the ball in his hands a lot too.

    You have a point. I sense the same thing. Not sure if I am right.

    My problem with Harden is that he makes a lot of lazy TOs. At least Lin's TOs usually come off hard drives to the hoop or charges.

    Many times, Harden just softly throws it in the air for a defender to snatch when there's not much pressure at all.

    And remember that time he dribbled it off his foot while bringing it up the court? That was pretty funny.

    He's an awesome passer, but he's too careless with his passes sometimes.

    If he does that, he'll be taken out after 3 minutes. How many points can he score in 3 minutes???

    He's trying so hard to find the right words to say. :(

    Lin's seems to be a great guy and all and I want for him to succeed with the Rox. But the move to bring him here is looking like a bad basketball move that was based mainly on hype. I'm thinking the organization was hoping he would be the next Yao as far as bringing popularity back to Rox. One problem though, Lin is no where near the player Yao was. Yao was a number 1 pick. Lin had some flashes tonight but it's easy to see the coaching staff has lost confidence in him and I really can't blame them. Coaching was suspect tonight but I had no problem with Lin being benched. As sucky as Douglas has been, he is a better shooter right now and with the Rox coming out playing like crap in the first quarter the last couple of games, you need someone out there to stretch defense and hit a shot consistently.

    How is that making sense? It's just a guy guessing and making up stuff.

    I feel dirty being on the same side as Lin stans, but it's pretty clear the coaching isn't up to snuff (and hasn't been since Adelman was fired). Don't get me wrong, Lin has been absolutely putrid, but he's not being put in a position to be less putrid and that's a problem when the solutions are so straightforward.

    hope he gets over this hump. Painful to listen to him.

    He sounds like the way he has playing lately no confidence in his game. I hope he can get it going but it does not look good. It is not all on him the D on this team has been very bad lately. Matador D will not cut it.

    No reason for him to get only 18 mins. None.
