Lin will rustle his jimmies, and Westbrook will get frustrated therefore taking 50 shots making only 10. Success.
This is definitely an unknown for Lin. Even Lin fans will tell you they've never seen him in the playoffs. Sorry high school doesn't compare to the nba playoffs.
Love my Rockets but Lin is going to get his sh** pushed in. This team could have been playing the nuggets but now we're stuck playing okc. All our boys are going to walk funny at the end.
No this is real. That's the PG matchup in this round. I'm not making it up, it would be Linsane to think so.
Sad but true. Didn't Lin drop 29/8 on Westbrook last time they meet? I'm sure McFail think it was Bev out there instead of Lin. Talking about a Coach that have no trust in his starting PG.
where did you see the word "harden" on this thread? you can't comment on this matchup? what kind of fan are you?
I think Lin will be a non factor due to OKC having time to dissect the Rockets which won't be too hard. Also then there is Mchale. Coaches usually go to who they trust in the playoffs and the truth is it isn't Lin.
as long as he keeps the offense flowing. I'm not going to get bent if westbrook scores oh my 23 pts, which is his average, which means one night he might get 16 points on 100 shots and on another night he might get 40 points on 12 shots with 18 ft attempts. it is what it is. what we can't have is kev marting left open for 3s because harden and lin fear that perkins is going to skyhook us to death.
Only chance is for Lin to play smart. Play westbrook for the drive and sag off to use westbrooks ego against him so he goes jumper happy and forgets to feed durant. Might have to play small to draw out ibaka and perkins
