    Rubio to Harden "Be happy! Enjoy!"

    After rubio beats harden out of a coach's vote.

    LOL

    I don' think Lin is purposely not passing the ball to Harden. I think it's more by design. James acts as a decoy sometimes to space the floor so Jlin can do his thing. Whenever Lin is about to create a play, you can see James actively directing the other guys and make sure they are in their proper spots.

    And by the way, I think James, JLin andParsons are working hard on and off the court to keep the team focused and united. :)

    It's much easier not to produce, aka Howard this year, if you have the fans on your side then if you have to produce, aka Harden this year. On that note, it's possible Harden may not have as a good season next year while with Love back and Rubio doing his thing you never know.

    LOL...but so true in many ways. Look, I can see that if Lin had full control like in New York Harden is going to be a shadow just like Anthony....and we are talking about CARMELO ANTHONY, arguably the best pure scorer in the game! This isn't going to happen on Morey's and McHails' watch when they just cut and resigned Lin and paid max to Harden.:grin:

    Ricky Rubio votes: 150,227

    James Harden votes: 485,986

    Harden has to suck really really bad for Rubio to be a challenge in the reserves spot.

    Also, Harden has established himself as a well respected player, with an iconic beard as well as being Lin's teammate. I highly doubt Rubio's popularity would top Harden at this point.

    That's my point. Harden could suck and Rubio or another guard could sneek in as a reserve. We all know Kobe is locked in for first fan vote until he retires. The second fan vote is going to either CP3 or Lin.

    And my point is Rubio hasn't played near well enough for coaches to ever consider him, not even when he was healthy, so he doesn't belong in the conversation.

    What exactly was I serious about? All I said was that it was in the back of his mind. Any normal human being would think about it.

    Why is this topic even relevant?

    It's pretty obvious that Lin is happy with his role. All you LOF are extremely annoying. This is 10x worse than the YOF.

    LOL...we're talking about next year so things can change in a flash...so YES Rubio does belong in the conversation or any legitimate starting guard.;)

    Okay you keep thinking that all starting players deserve to be in the all-star conversation.
