    plug in the names

    For reference sake

    Beverley 0.8ppp
    Lin 0.91ppp

    Note Lin is better at defending the spot up shooters, taller and everything, Beverley is an elite screen runner.

    Harden's worst is off screen, no shocker there
    Paul George 0.77ppp - bad spot up defender
    Lebron James 0.73ppp - good at everything
    Chandler Parsons 0.85ppp - worse off screens than Harden
    Kevin Durant 0.84ppp - might be the worst off screen defender in the nba

    Lol.. you're crazy.

    First of all it's sad I have to admit I'm not a LOF. But Rocket's won't get deep in the playoffs this year without the help of a healthy Lin. Lin isn't going anywhere guys.

    Rockets aren't going anywhere without an engaged Lin. Lin was a starting PG all last year and played a big role getting the team into the playoffs. Worked to improve and then they play him behind a player with even less experience. Sacrifices for the team and then gets yelled at by the so called starters. If I were Lin, I'd seriously question the coach and the team. That he does not is a credit to him. But there is only so much he can take, and I'd wish he would channel all the doubters and go Linsane. The way he has been playing (hopefully because of injury recovery) is hurting the team right now. Might as well go out playing his own style, if he is going out. I think that's what McHale wants him to do, but he is thinking too much right now and not letting it flow.

    I also think the center stats are a little funky because players like Dwight and Noah spend time out a bit on pfs, and centers universally suck at defending the spot up.

    But while Dwight is a very good 0.77 post up and 0.85 p&r, Roy Hibbert is giving up 0.47ppp on post ups, while i don't know how much the schedule plays a part, those are holy **** numbers.

    It's also nice to see Dwight's post up numbers increase to 0.73ppp after being 0.48ppp after the first 10 games.

    Can you kids get over the whole, Lin being yelled at ****? Popovich used to give Parker heaps of ****, the entire Miami teams do the same thing with Mario Chalmers.

    Lin has played well in his role, he is valuable but saying this team won't go anywhere without him is just b.s.

    He has played poorly the last 2 games because he just sat for 2 weeks and clearly needs to build his gas tank back up.

    You are focusing in on one game like most CF posters do. Get over your lying eyes. You do not have a clue.

    Can we just appreciate the fact that we have 3 very capable PG's on this team? All of them have started some point in their career and was successful, how many teams can say that?

    Jeesh some of you lot.

    You think anyone who doesn't worship Harden like you do is a LOF. I bet you have a Harden poster on your wall.

    Well I'm not a LOF, but I am inspired by his story and progress in the NBA, who wouldn't be? I do prefer team players because they win championships, the team ball hogs don't.

    I'm not a LOF, but I do think Harden is very overrated who overreacts after every layout or slams that he does, and the flopping. On a good team he would be the third best.

    Well let's thank our lucky stars you aren't a talent evaluator or involved in any facet of team building for our Houston Rockets.

    You know when you start off by saying " I'm not a LOF" you certainly are one.

    You want to trade Lin, not because you think he's a bad player, or to try and upgrade the team, but because you have endure the ultimate sin of reading about Lin.




    Ok
