Should we look to Jeremy Lin to be our closer as opposed to James Harden?

lol some of these guys here. Lin has a good game and half the forums are ready to throw him to the side. damn shame.

 

It wasn't JLin's play or Iso it was the ball movement and Jeremy Driving in. Even if Jeremy Iso he would probably miss the shot but if the ball moves then the opponent's defense will scramble and there will be holes.

 

So by not answering the question, you have answered it. Lin is no where close to Harden's level. How many times this game did harden find lin wide open?

 

exactly swinging the ball around creates holes in the lane for Harden OR Lin to penetrate.

 

Wait a minute.. Last I checked, ESPN made Lin who he is.. How quickly you forget that all ESPN did was boast Lin and linsanity. It was to the point people were sick of hearing it. So you hate ESPN for saying Harden wants "glory". He dumby Harden is a super star. Lin isn't. Plain and simple. Deal with it.

 

Cherry picking your argument. I bet many people could find times where Lin passed the ball to an open Harden ( or any other player ) and he missed. AGAIN, NO REASONABLE PERSON here thinks Lin is better than Harden.

 

Are you delusional? How many clutch gametime shots has harden hit in the last season??? Compared to how many can you remember lin hitting? In all honestly lin had more last chance shots that he blew, then he made. How can you get mad at ESPN for not digging up a year old clip just to show off an instance where he made a late game shot when its not something he particularly did well last season?

Harden was one of the top 5 players in the NBA last season, and you want to get mad that he's getting more attention? Goodness could you be any less of a rockets fan and any more of a lin only fan??

 

Yes Harden a top 5 offensive player in the league and Lin is merely an above average offensive threat. Yet NO ONE WAS ARGUING THAT!

 

There's a difference between people thinking Lin has the potential to become a star player and already being a star player. Also, a TS% north of 66% so far this year, a 14 and 7 line in the second half of his first season as a starter after healing from surgery, and his performance as the primary option on a team are proof that he is indeed close to a star player.

 

Try reading more threads. Lin is the top dog of the league according to a lot of "Lin fans"

 

post quotes. Besides NO ONE even remotely hinted at that notion in this thread. You are too easy. Try harder troll. Again I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not mentally challenged but rather a troll.

 

Why give that merely above average offensive threat the ball with the game on the line to shoot the last shot then????

 

Lin is miles better a defender than Harden. So he is at least better than him in half of the game.

 

To be a threat Jeremy would have to be more consistent and score 25 plus a game. Harden is a threat because he has been more consistent since his days in OKC. and by consistence i don't mean every single game but at least regularly attacking and scoring or scoring in some way.

I liked that tonight they at least move the ball more and that McHale used TJ more. I would have like to see Dmo too. but maybe tonight he would have just gotten in foul trouble. But against the Mavs and Lakers. and Greg against the clippers and lakers.

i think we should use more our bench specially since we are shooting terribly from down town :/ Lin is the only one shooting well

 

even with lin hot tonight and harden hobbled, most of the plays went through harden. Even on the shots and drives lin had, they were created by harden so i think there is definitely that

 

we went to two OTs cuz Gay hit that shot on Parsons, and Lin got lit up twice by Lowry

 

oh crap, are we talking about defense?

 

Again. NO REASONABLE FAN thinks that Lin is better than Harden. I like Lin, but i know he is nowhere near the player Harden is. A better argument for your input is whether you think Harden and LIn backcourt is the way to go.

 

not today. Harden shut down DeRozan (6-25).

 

Well we are comparing both of them as complete ball players...so yea. Or is defense unimportant to you like it is for Harden?
