Wow, I thought you like the idea. Aren't you the one who wrote the thread "Lin is a joke!" Tony Doglas is sure better than that joke, Lin, right? .
Up until 2 games ago was it he was 1-15 for the entire season. Though I see progress and improvement with TD. I also like his quickness and hustle - given he develops some swag, throws on some more muscle and confidence - I'd like to see him dunk. Can he dunk?
This. If you put Lin on the 2nd unit. This is what 48 minutes against the Heat would look like. Lebron or Wade + Chalmers - on top of Harden. Bosh 2-3 feet away to pick up the lost ball,pass, errant shot. People just don't realize that - just as Harden benefits from Lin -> so does Lin also benefit from the type of player Harden is. Both are great facilitators and distributors. Though I think Lin grew up playing the game as a leader at all levels of the game. He learned to discard his ego in high school after he got injured in HS. He became all about the team - and in college he discarded his ego to another level and returned to his HS coach for additional training, and also picked up Doc Scheppler from another HS to help his shooting. Etc etc - trainer and 2nd training with Sparta in Menlo. and then theres the actual team trainers and support staff. Okay I'm rambling -_-
I have a better idea. Start White. Put him in mid court. Let him tweet about every opponent player that blows past him "...my main WORRY is being treated as an enemy instead of a HUMAN, in the case of my health... #anxiety #honesty #health #consideration #trooper #..."
Kind of comes with the territory unfortunately. Global presence again - fans of the NBA and new fans of basketball in general of Lin of Harden of Asik etc ~ and more coming - as the Rockets become more successful there will be even more posters. Though the quality may be suspect - at least you don't have to refresh the forums every 30 seconds hoping for something new to talk about.
Hey now I actually think TD has improved a lot. Things I've noticed this season 1. His hustle 2. He's raised his defensive game 3. Attacks the ball, goes for steals, and harasses like a pissed off wasp 4. Isn't afraid to shoot 5. dribbles and attacks the basket 6. Team player - good attitude TD is a good guy and is a NBA pro. He shouldn't be written off.
TD v Lebron 1v1 - or TD v Danilo Gallinari. Imagine it for a second ..... Got it in your head? Now switch in Lin - cuz Lin did take both on 1v1 and won on a few occasions some that is reviewable on tape. +1 block on Lebron by Jeremy Lin btw.
No I am not joking. Poor Lin is standing the corner as spot-up shooter and he even couldn't touch ball at the most time. What kind of PG he is? Called his PG is true joke
Douglas is playing better than he was at first, but still NO WAY is he better now, or have more potential than Lin.
