    No...

    Harden had way more FTs, two FTs = a possession which is the same as a shot.

    Dragic outplayed Harden again. Morey with egg on his face.

    Maybe you are used to cheering for a lottery team. You should become a Suns fan to re-capture that feeling again.

    I think Lin is the worst of three, but I think they are all pretty much interchangeable. We would have a similar record with lowry or dragic.

    We need to focus on getting another star.

    Interesting stuff, haralabos dont notmally make assertions like that. Any context to consider? Or was it just a random question?

    I can't remember the context fully. It was the previous Phx vs HOU game. The Jermaine O'neal one & he was tweeting about the game. Somebody asked him

    Gareth_giggs: @haralabob would you take dragic or linsanity? Discounting off-court impact

    & he said Lin was the better player. I typically listen to him because he knows his stuff. So yeah. He said what I have been saying for sometime that Lin is superior to goran. He also said that Lowry is one of his favourite underrated PG but

    @haralabos: Would also like to add that Lowry has regressed a ton since playing for the Raps, he's playing down to the level of his organization.

    You might as well be comparing Dragic to Harden. Dragic is the Suns first option and Jlin is the third option on the Rockets.

    Yea some of his stuff are just fascinating. He was on BS report twice i think, and each time he brought up something interesting. For example he mentioned 36% of Lin's assists were at the rim which was leading the league( last year).

    Anyway, good stuff.

    If we are comparing Harden and Dragic then how does morey have egg on his face?. He got the 2nd best SG in the league and he got us into the playoffs.

    Lowry has a temper and clashed with coaches

    dragic is boring as bat poo not does not bring any fans or media

    Lin brings in the media fans ..its a business my friends

    Lin is a far better player. Younger as well.

    Yup. Lin has been doing the same thing this year. The vast majority of his assits are either at the rim or for 3's. Andre Milleresque. haralabos knows his stuff so I typically defer to his opinion even if I formerly thought otherwise.

    Lin maybe not the best player, but if you want someone to play the derrick fisher role (clutch 3), Lin is the perfect fit.

    This year has been good for his all around game. People's perceptions about his game while comparing him to other primary ball handlers on other teams might not paint the whole picture
