    Count on it for at least two to three attempts a game.

    to be fair, Howard has better handles than Asik, who fumbled most of Lin's passes

    They will be fun to watch when we play lins new team for the first time this season. Can Howard dunk from the other teams goal?

    Don't think Lin will be a Rocket after tomorrow.

    Did Lin lead the Rockets in turnovers last season?

    Nail it. How many time Asik got the ball stripped or just can not catch it cleanly.

    Dean Winchester sighting! I actually would like to see Lin stay... I understand why Asik's wants to leave but I'd love to see him stay as well

    No look alley would be nice.

    But I'd like to see the lob dunk out of the PNR.

    Harden led the league in turnovers and Lin was high with 2.9 per game but as many have pointed out, Howard has great hands. Most of the time Lin and Harden will just have to throw it up there and Howard will out jump everyone for the dunk.

    exactly. Unlike Asik, with Dwight you throw it up and let him go get it, with Asik you drop it in there and hope he doesn't drop it. PLus with Asik not finishing as much he should. Easily a 0.5 turnover per game at least along with at least 1-2 assist more per game.

    Based on turnover % it went Asik, Lin then Harden.

    Old article, came across this when reading a good current one that linked this, quite interesting:

    Lin, Howard would be nice pick-and-roll duo
