You can criticize him all you want to in the first thread, which I didn't even bother to read with that title. But what exactly he said was wrong in this thread, that he wanted Lin to be healthy and contributing? Or you just want to oppose anything someone says simply because you labeled him one way or another?
ya know, it could be easier winning with him. Just because you win without someone doesnt mean it is any easier without him. What's best for the team is having the team's best players on the floor. Jeremy is still one of the top 4 players on the team. ALTHOUGH, Beverly has done a great job starting. My thing is Jeremy Lin is an upgrade over Brooks on both sides of the ball. Jeremy can at least keep the ball moving and play defense. Brooks is too undersized.
What was your point again? Lin should never be healthy? Just because you don't like some posters? LOL. Never mind.
Ez buddy. I always push for team effect. Basketball is a team sport and regardless how good one man is, he will not able to carry his team to championship by himself. I don't think Harden is as talent as LBJ and Durant, yet, many fans here think Harden can do it all. Just replace Lin with Bev and all will be good. No it is not. Lin and Bev both have different strength. Lin is a true PG and he can direct the offense. Harden can direct the offense too, but if he is directing the offense, then you are taking his biggest strength away, which is scoring. Out of the 3, Bev has the best defense, but other than, not much. Yes, he can knock down a few 3s, but so as every one beside TRob, Smith and Asik. We have a good team here. The 3 guards should stick together for a 3 man rotation. What this team need is a backup center and develop the PF so we can have a mid range. We have Smith, Tmo, TJones, TRob and to each of their own, they have different strength.
I want JLin back particular he is an offensive threat. With the wed game Harden is going to desperately need JLin despite what all the haters think. Harden and PB is going to have a tough night. JLin needs to come back even at 0% healed to contribute. This is a true do or die game!
If Lin does play, he has to play out of his mind, bc that is the level that Beverly, Parsons, Garcia, and Delfino is playing at...Lin, if playing, has to just have one of those NYC moments... Mchale has such a tough decision, bc Beverly and Harden having been playing well, but I love the Garcia on Durant matchup a lot...just denying him the chance to get the ball has limited how dangerous Durant couldve been...he scored 38 on 12-16 shooting with about 13 FT made...sick...but Garcia prevented a lot of attempts just by eating up space and being a pest... Lin has to dominate his matchup...he isnt going to get those cheapy contact fouls...but he needs to just attack the rim relentlessly and make timely long distance shots...
We play 8 guys regardless, lol. If Lin comes back, AB doesn't play... and right now [unfortunately] I would much rather have AB on the court
Garcia is streaky. If he's on a roll he's on a roll! He kind of fizzled out later in that game with the 3pt....my guess is fatigue....I want to see him take some 3pt early in the game before fatigue kicks in guarding Durant.... I would say Harden shouldn't expect those cheesy contact fouls...JLin usually never gets those cheap contact fouls...he's probably the only guy in the team who drives head on putting his body at risk... If JLin wants to play this risk taking style this is the best and rewarding time to do it. May god be with him for every drive he takes...and i'm not religious. *LOL*
Mate he didn't say either. Reading comprehension! Jumping to far fetched conclusions about what he's thinking. He is spot on about the OP but never made any comment about Lin and especially not his health... Having said that a good to go Lin is our best option to start.
It should be a no brainer for McHale to plays Lin. If he really love Harden scoring, then he has no choice but playing Lin. A healthy Lin will eat all of OKC guards alive.
w/o lin we would not be in the playofffs. mchale needs to at least try Lin and if he is on he can still draw double team and make a play.
Dude, read the thread before u starting making comments. Of course Harden didn't intentionally try to throw the game. But the dude has played so below his true potential, it's frightening. I've seen Harden back in OKC and in the beginning of this year, he has NEVER played worse than what he's doing in the last 2 months. Harden is ELITE, better than Westbrook. When the dude is on, he's a frickin magician. His efficiency rivals Durant's. There's only like 3 or 4 players in the entire league I would take over Harden. That 46pt game against OKC was magical. He has done it before, I know he can come up big again. CMON HARDEN!
I told him to criticize OP on the post/thread worth criticizing, but NOT to oppose the idea of wishing Lin to be healthy and contributing, just because the same poster started another questionable thread. Is it that hard to "comprehend"?
