    Dragic owns Lin as expected.

    Dragic sucked this game. Lin just happened to suck harder. 12 points if you dont count the freebie FTs he got and 1 assist.... Thats terrible.

    I thought Dragic played equally awful the first three Qtrs. He stepped up in the fourth Qtrs and hit some shots. Lin played him timid in the 4th Qtrs because Lin was worried about fouls.

    This was the time to put Beverley in and played some D on Dragic.

    Dragic might be a better player, but from this game alone, I don't see he is much better than Lin. And this was one of those god awful game by Lin.

    What can be said that's already not known? Dragic is the better PG. Morey over paid for whatever reasons he had for a average PG. Hell Lin can even be considered below average.

    Dragic sucked the whole game until a couple of nice shots at the end, as well as a few bricks, and he didn't get his teammates involved whatsoever...

    He stepped up in the 4th though and hit some big shots with Lin's hand in his face. Idk I thought they were both pretty even.

    Ha, why? Someone was going to do it. I did. It was moved. Someone bumped it anyways(again). If I wanted to bump this thread, I would have bumped this thread. I didn't want to bump this thread.

    I don't think 18 pts and 1 assist is owning ... yeah he played a little better in the closing minutes but not throughout the game

    he closed the game out for them, thats good enough. I don't even like Dragic, he was always overrated on here.

    Dragic sucked through 3 quarters Lin sucked after 1 quarter. Evened out at the end. But certainly Dragic didn't impress anyone with his play tonight and neither did Lowry the game he came back to Hou. But again I reiterate Lin sucked after the 1st quarter.

    Not metion at least 2 pair of FTs in last couple seconds to bump up the scoring points.

    But I believe this game was not the best game for both Dragic and Lin. Both played sloppy in 3 qtrs and Dragic was better in the end becasue Lin was in foul trouble.

    Kind feel bad for Lin. He will always be compared to the two point guards Rox let go last season (IMO, they are good but not great PG) and Houston fans seem love them.

    That is all fine. This is pro sports and in the end it comes down to performance. Really wish Lin use this offseason to improve his jumpers and ball handling skills. He needs to be able to consitently perform, no matter which team he will play for in the future. Houston fans don't seem to like him, I get it by now. But what he need to do is just keep improving and don't quit and I will always support him.

    Dragic played about the same as Lin (i.e. terrible) during the first 3 quarters.
    What set him apart though was 2 clutch drive in the last 5 minutes in the 4th quarter that pushed the lead for the Suns after Harden's 3. That's how you closed out a game.

    tl;dr Dragic played ok. Lin sucked badly.
