    Let's just say you're wrong. I have a synergy account last year grandfathered into this year so I have all their possessions from every games readily available.. While there are some missed calls (beneficial or not), over time, it evens itself out. Well, good luck putting the tape for the other to see if you still want to prove you're right... or not.

    Oh, and Lin rarely dribbled out the clock. Mostly it's for end of quarter possession, and he doesn't exactly get a lot of those.

    Still think Lin might have more potential than Dragic ....
    One is 23 the other 26 or 27?

    i mean if we're playing this game...dragic only score 8 v nuggets and no praises from george karl. Lin scored 20+ with praises from george karl. lin>gogi

    Truth is those who have a preconceived notions on lin will not change it. Stubborn sob's they are. We all do it. I do it with westbrook. I will not like that guy. The weird part is that you usually do it to an opposing player on an opposing team, not your own guys.
    Only Rocket player I've ever disliked was Head. I couldn't stand him and Rafer's floater. Then again I do hate lin's three pointer.

    Tonight going to be an exciting PG vs PG game. Everyone pretty much blame JLin for the prev loss...and I agree lin played terrible. Even though I believe the, "left handed elbow" looked intentional many disagreed....I'm sticking with this theory that a left handed shooter elbow shouldn't be sticking outwards. :))
    Makes the game more exciting in my mind since this is a crappy team. :))

    Part of Lin's inconsistency has to do with his stamina issues playing back to back. He will at the very least be as good as Dragic but his ceiling is higher than Dragic's. Stop with the knee jerk reactions already...

    Some really interesting moments between them tonight.
    The jump ball.
    And then when Dragic tried a no look only to have it stolen by Lin who then did a no look pass to D-Mo for a score.

    Looks like JLin got a new mouth guard in case of any funny stuff from Dragic. :))

    I think you guys need to ask Parsons about that mouthpiece in Lin's mouth.

    All 5 starters played great today. D-Mo put in a lot of effort and was able to create his own shots when the offense got stagnant. But he should have grabbed more than 5 rebounds, I watched the ball bounce off his hands like 10 times because he wasn't able to secure it, there's no reason Montie can't be a double-double guy every night.

    Lin should bring this energy every game so he doesn't get shat on by everybody all the time. From what I see, although Dragic may have a game or two better than Lin in these matchups, Lin is at least as good as Dragic, younger, and with higher upside. It would've been interesting to have an all lefty backcourt but Dragic has not impressed in these games so far. Still like watching him play, but.... eh~

    Got to say Lin led the comeback against the SUNS today.

    They shut him down with tight D and got him into early foul trouble. It was perfectly executed.

    When people say something with a definitive tone and without an argument, they are just trying to make sure no one challenges them...
