I think that was just for the last month. But, in the last 3 months, his fg%, 3pt% and points went up noticably from the first 3 months while his TO's went down. Which is a good sign that he was improving. And hopefully he will be able to carry it over to the next year. I like this team too. I think they will be able to add 5-8 more wins just from the improvements from all the young players and being more comfortable with each other.
Man Lin fans dominated that last page with posts y'all tryin to put down our allstar player future HOF cause people think we should upgrade the pg spot dam
Exactly what does this mean....no me saying trading harden...and no one should be saying trade Lin.... By the way when harden was hurt how did Lin play when he was running the team? What were his percentages, what was his average points per game and how many assists? Wen he was in ny and didnt have a ball dominate player? How did he do? Look no one is saying trade harden but no one again should be saying trade Lin....he's not going anywhere anytime soon
Yea he was averaging 10 points a game over the first 2 months right? He had to score som points to get that average up... I really thought he played really well the last month of the year. Too bad aout the playoffs......
Thats basically it. They are not thinking about the Team they only care about Lin. My point is I don't hate Lin personally. But we got to upgrade where we can and if we find someone who plays good defense and can shoot a high percentage from three and is cheaper we take it and and we can trade Lin and whoever for another All Star, the point is to try to win a championship.
It mean I agree with you guys Lets trade Harden so Lin can be an All Star and take us to the playoffs because Harden is the only thing standing in his way. Since Lin shoots better than Harden then I agree trade Harden we don't need him, let's just run with Lin.
Saying it's common sense is absurd. All you have to do to make your point and end this conversation is list 5 or 6 guys, but the truth is that you can't. Do you know why? The low end salary for a starting pg who is not in their rookie contract is around 8 million. A lot of people are saying what a great series that Beverly played. His fg%, 3pt% and points were similar to Lins regular season, except they were all lower than Jeremy's. Also in 33+mins Beverly avg. 2.85 assists per game, that's less than half what Lin put up. How is that comparable? Here is a huge flaw in your argument, where you are not using common sense. Say somehow we find a guy from the D-league who put's up similar stats. After 1 to 3 years when his rookie contract is up, your going to have to pay him around the 8 million mark to keep him. So, you take a huge gamble, hoping someone will pan out and be a solid pg. If your wrong, you screw up the team. If your right, you end up paying him similar to what you pay Lin.
lol, How many point guards have we had in the past four years that we paid under 8 mil for? Second if the new guy isn't worth paying in three years then we will find another guy after that. It's the same thing we have been doing the past few years. Third the point is to try to win a championship, we wont trade Lin for nothing it will be for another star. It might be Lin and Asik for antoher star or Lin and whoever else fits. The reason why I'm not listing a person is your so die hard for Jeremy that you would just find some stat that says that he is not as good as Jeremy, but the truth is we have gambled on several point guards and some were better than Jeremy. With Daryl Morey as our GM look for anyone who is not named Harden to be traded. Don't be surprised if a euro player or second round pick is our starting point guard soemtime after the trade deadline next year.
you do understand this is a thread is about Lin's future as Houstons PG I'll take Lin's last 3 months of 31mpg/14.8/6.4ast and hope he can put up 35mpg/17.7/7ast a game that he did in 9 games in april of the 5 free agents, i'll take jack or CP3 Jack- loved him since his GT days , but took a long time (billups way) to become a good PG, can put up 15/7 in houston Paul- best in the game, worth every penny he is giving, at worse will give houston 15/9 to think any PG can play next to harden and put up good numbers, while only running plays 40%(or less) of the time is foolish Dragic was putting up for a stretch 11/5 , while running 50% of the plays when the suns former coach was there when L.Hunter became coach, Dragic began running 80% of the plays and putting up 16/8 another example is Lowry Started the season at 18/7 , while running only 60% of the plays(awesome) Raptors got Gay then Lowry become a non factor, running 25% of plays while putting up 10/5 Once again give me an example of a PG we can get who can put up 13-15/6ast for a cheaper price
Here's a hint, let's see if you can catch on. What were all those point guards averaging before they got to the rockets?
Even with Bev putting up 33Mpg/11.8/5rb/3ast/1.2TO meant the ball less in the PG hands= less TO, but with the ball in parsons and hardens hands more, there TO combined went up 2.3 equally bev gave up and avg. of 16 points while only scoring 12 Bev got in foul trouble early and in the second half would play off his man more, which gave Jackson a better driving lane for his ISO(Jackson shot 46%) I do Love Bev's game and hustle but he's a long way from being a starter
