    No, it's equivalent of the TT on offense without as much of the defense benefit. What's Lin good at? Having the ball in his hand and dictating the offense. That's what Harden is BETTER at.

    So do you want me to wait till this game is over to post Pauls stats with and without Bev on him or can you just agree that he has not played as well?

    Nah, they still are delusional ;). I´ve just read a LOF saying a team with Lin and scrubs would do a lot better than a team with Harden and scrubs and that Lin deserves Hardens contract and Harden Lins...

    And most Rockets fans always gave Lin props. When he is aggressive he is a great player. And this season he has been our most consistent player so far (not the best, just the most consistent).

    You may not believe that, but most Rockets fans like Lin - just a lot of Rockets fans get annoyed, when LOF bash our other players and coach to make Lin look better.

    Lin lost this lead nearly by himself. If he is pressured by the opposing defense, he folds.

    What he need is he cannot spend extensive amount of time with Harden. They are similar player. Of course, Harden is much better offensive. Lin win over defensive.

    Harden just lazy on defense.

    In general the best player on the team has the ball most of the time. Lebron did with cavs and mavs. Wade did when he was top top in miami.

    A lead is never lost by just one person, especially since everyone else was also sucking.

    You mean ISO ball at 3 point line and shoot contested 3-pointer (good when it goes in, WTF are you doing when it doesn't) or ISO ball until 22 seconds to send no-look pass to corner guy to take last second shot?

    lol so much for this thread. Lin was absolutely horrible in the 3rd q. Well at least he dug us out of the hole and built some cushion in the 1st half. But all I will remember now in this game is his ****ing turnovers in the 3rd quarter.

    Definitely the worst half of basketball I've seen from him in a while. Hopefully this is just a one time thing and continues to play well

    Lin laid a turd in the third quarter. Worst I've seen him play this season.

    Start jlin or trade him, isn't that a simple solution?

    I don't care who is second, but isn't your first candidate the guy who shot 26% FT tonight?
