Who is to blame for the poor start?

I agree although I might reverse the order and have coaching as the No. 1 reason. After all the youth needs someone to lead them.

 

Huh? Weren't you outed as a Lin hating troll from the Knicks board?

Weird.

 

Who's to blame?

Inexperience, youth, new group of players, new system, and new roles being played from last year.

 

Les is to blame

 

Can't blame competition. Only 3 teams we have played so far have better than .500 records.

 

Didnt you know that we are expected to win most of our games now that we have 11 games under our belt and 11 new players from last year? Add to that our vast experience individually in the NBA?

 

lins lack of scoring

lin needs to be more aggressive an work on his damn shot every team has played off of him cause he hasnt proven he can shoot at all so they sag off of him an focus in on harden parsons has been playing good as of late an so has asik an patterson an its hard to blame harden when the other teams defense is set up to stop him so that leaves lin no where to be found

 

lin is to blame has not had 1 linsanity game has not shot the ball well at all tons of mid air passes he should know that is not a good pass by now especially at this level cant blame harden when the other teams defense is set up to stop him i think if lin could get 16pts an at least 8 assists a night we would be alot better off but all he does is pump fake teams are sagging off of him all the starters are playing good except him we woulda been better off with dragic but i also think we need a back up point guard an we should play cook alittle more.....

 

Probably, but one could say without him they could have squeezed a few more wins. Harden did change the game plan....whether good or bad it's hard to say.

 

You're talking about one game. I am not.

 

Oh, our rebuilding team is performing like a rebuilding team? How sad for us, it would be so much nicer to finish with 42 wins and the 9 seed again.

 

We are youthfull team, we will win through the draft. Harden has 2 40 point games and we are hunting for the title?

 

LOL, this poll is fake. I came in and Harden had 1457 votes. I read through the thread and looked again 10 min later and he had 1586. The same person is voting over and over again. Get a life.

 

Coaching .. Can't blame the players. But we lost a lot of close games to some dumb **** decisions by coaches... Eg too much harden ISo plays down the stretch, taking out Lin when he is doing well and not empowering him to make plays. Duuuumb ****zzz

 

Can u vote more than once per account though?

 

You can vote more than once in a poll?

I just assumed ppl on the West coast woke up.

 

it is too early. It would be Morey at the end of the season, plain and simple.

 

I blame Les. This is karma for making us stream games.

 

Sure, Asik is D-League. He'd have 30 rebounds a game in the D-League.

Sure, Lin is D-League. He had one game there when NYK demoted him before bringing him back to save their season. He had a triple-double in that one game. Oh, also, he had more points scored in his first 5 games as a starter than MJ, Magic Johnson, Allen Iverson, wait: more than ANY PLAYER SINCE THE NBA SEPARATED FROM THE ABA. Sure. D-League player.

Sure, Parsons is D-League. 2nd year, having 13.9pts, 6.6reb, 3.5ast, 1stl per game so far.

Sure, Carlos Delfino - a WELL KNOWN D-Leaguer. Not, heaven forbid, an Olympian and legitimate NBA valuable veteran.

Sure, Terrence Jones - should go STRAIGHT to the D-League. I bet even you play better than him. He's no star potential, of course.

Also, Patterson and Morris - D League? don't make me laugh.

Just stop it.

 

You have no idea what you are talking about. Lin's way is ego-less, thus he needs backing from the system, and the ball in his hands. D'Antoni told him: "I don't care how many turnovers you will have, just make plays".

Lin's biggest problems right now are the arrival of Harden and the emergence of Sampson.
