I love how you argue points that I never made. It's either all or nothing with Lin fans. Either you want Lin or your crazy, either you want Lin or your praying for a miracle. I NEVER said he should put up the same numbers that he did in New York NEVER, so your whole point is mute. Second don't tell me what I want just because your mad that I don't want what you want. Temper tantums are for two year olds try to keep it together. Lin can demand the ball anytime he wants and he can keep the ball and wave Harden off anytime he wants, but he doesn't. This whole thing you guys do where you want to blame Harden for Lin is ridiculous. You think kevin Mchale draws up every play??? NO he just wants us to run!! Lin gives the ball to Harden because he is defering to him. Chandler Parsons waves off Harden and takes the ball himself sometimes and he has big games so don't give me an excuse thats its system. System? really, Lin can't thrive in a run and gun system? really? then why is he here. Young point guards should eat up a run and gun system up. And finally a players role is not set in stone, a players role comes about by how they play. What I want from Jeremy Lin is to leave Houston. Thats what I want. I don't like his fans and I don't like how soft and timid he plays and I want him gone. that is all
Agreed but unfortunately that vast improvement wouldn't come soon enough, especially with his piss poor left hand, his critics harped on this after last season and he still doesn't have it. Wouldn't mind him coming off the bench as a sixth man, maybe then he wouldn't feel so rattled while on the court but the thing is we can't afford to pay a sixth man 8 mil a year. It would probably suit us better if he was traded.
8 pts, 0 assists in 33 minutes and getting torched by Reggie Jackson = finishing the playoffs in magnificent fashion?
*Yawn* I actually watched the games, Beverly finished the playoffs playing his best ball all year. If you want to start cherry picking stats I could make Lin look like a D-Leaguer, oh wait...
12 other people aren't playing the exact same position and essentially the same role. Nice over generalizing. Beverley plays so well with Harden b/c he essentially plays SG. If Lin averaged 10-12 pts and 1 assist for the season while playing no D, the LOH's would actually have a reason to hate.
Yawn.... Snore.... I actually went to the home games and sat a few rows back from the court and could see how Beverley's man took open jumper after open jumper while he just stood at the top of the paint and didn't make any attempt to run over and try to get a hand up in their face. That kind effort rivals what I see in playground pickup games...
He is, if Miami wanted to trade lebron or OKC wanted to trade Durant you better believe we would trade harden.
Beverley's never had a drought? There was that 3-4 game stretch, IIRC, where he couldn't hit a shot to save his life. How many games has Bev started? People here were doubting Lin even though he started and played well in 25 NBA games when he came to the Rockets. But I guess Bev doesn't actually even need a small sample size to win over this crowd that has proven itself to be very selectively critical.
If it's so easy to get Lin's production for cheaper. Why don't you list some of these players. Unless, it's because you can't.
