Do you think Lin would fit best on the Rockets as a 6th man? I think a commentator during one of the games might have brought this up. Honestly , I agree with it. Starting Brooks or Beverly and have Lin be a nice 6th man. Do you agree ? If not , why?
No because the sky would fall and the earth would crumble! :grin: ........... ........... ...........
im not sure who would start because I don't trust the other two to lead the team as well. I do think that Lin is solid, not great as his fans(not Rockets fans) seem to always scream. Far from great, simply average. Now, if he gets the turnovers down, I think he can start.
This is actually not a terrible idea. Since Lin is not a great off the ball player. As 6th man he would be able to dominate the ball more and he would be more effective. He would make our bench a lot better. However, I don't think Beverley is good enough to start. Being 6th man is not an insult imo. Harden was 6th man last season. Manu, Mchale, Odom(when he was good), etc. Are just some excellent players and HOF worthy players even who came off the bench.
Not unless you get an awesome 3 point shooter that can guard PGs as well as dish while Harden is out. Lin has earned the starting spot. No one has been able to overtake him for it.
If Beverley was more consistent with the 3 pointer I'd say go for it. But even then Bev doesn't command the same defensive attention Lin does.
Why doesnt Mchale just stagger Lin and Hardens minutes a little more. At least one should be on the floor at all times IMO
No Delfino runs our offense perfectly with it's all bench players. Just kidding. Anderson can be a fine playmaker.
If Lin isn't starting James Harden will be doing even WORSE on defense. He already doesn't have enough energy for average defensive plays while being asked to do everything offensively, shooting, creating for himself, creating for others, etc.
Hell no, we trying to win games and make the playoffs here.. Having 2 playmaking guards in your starting line-up is deadly because we distribute the ball more like in last night's game for example, what was the assist total between them like 25 or something?? That is a lot of sharing to go around, if we can continue to move the ball like that between those two, we are going to be ****** deadly!!!
Lin can play with anybody so it doesn't matter if he's the 6th man or not as long as he gets around 32 mins per game. Staggering with Harden is also good cos that way we get to see the best of the Rockets...Harden's iso style for some time, and then Lin and the bench team style for some time.
