I'm sure McHale is happy with Harden. Lowry was the oddman out last year. This year it's Lin. I'm not saying McHale is wrong. Just pointing out how he handes PGs.

Harden brings ball upcourt
passes it to Lin at 3pt line
lin dribbles a bit
no moving by anyone
lin passes ball to harden
harden goes iso and takes a shot.
i mean, lin's strength is dribble penetration, yet they refuse to run ball screens or PNR with a bigman like Asik whose a legit 7 footer that cant be guarded by anyone on the BOS roster in the PNR?
truly astounding.

You're talking out your ass
You don't even know what happened between Lowry & McHale. It was never reported. What is it McHale's fault Lowry got a bacterial infection, which kept him out for like 6 weeks?
You pointed out the turnover at the PG position... what about the large turnover rate at every other position

You're an ass that doesn't listen. How more do I need to spell it out for you?
McHale plays the PG that he believe win games. HARDEN
The previous season, Dragic made Lowry redundant. You think McHale lose sleep over getting them both on the court the same time?
What is your point? You seem to say that Douglas is better PG than Lin, I agree that Douglas is better SG that plays with Harden at PG. Douglas posted ZERO assists in 25 minutes!
I'm saying McHale doesn't develop PGs, especially when he already have Harden on the team. McHale is a bad coach for Lin and wouldn't be surprised that Lin gets traded.
Nothing I say is shocking right?

Apparently if a player isn't played, that makes an organization bad. Seriously? Where is the logic?
It was just a bizzare decision. How many teams bench their starting point guard for a guy shooting 37% for the season? Tony Douglas played 24 minutes and had 0 assists. He was 1-6 going into the 4th. AND he played terrible defense tonight.
Code: Select all
Greg Smith 0.670
James Harden 0.580
Chandler Parsons 0.571
Patrick Patterson 0.542
Toney Douglas 0.537
Omer Asik 0.522
Marcus Morris 0.515
Jeremy Lin 0.487
Carlos Delfino 0.478
Daequan Cook 0.464

In the perfect world, what team would you have him traded to?
He doesn't have to start for teams, he just needs to be put in a team and in a system where he will do well and be utilized correctly.
The Lakers would be the perfect team because he would play under D'Antoni, he would learn from Steve Nash, and he would be one of their building blocks along with Dwight Howard.
I could see him doing well in other teams too like Grizzlies, Magic, Hornets, etc.

Just exactly what system does Lin need and how should he be utilized?

he's just not an above average player and should consider himself lucky to be a starting pg in this league. closing out games? lol, plz, rewatch that 3pa vs miami.
he got his 15 minutes of fame but that's about it.
unfortunately, people still talk about him. i mean, there are more postings about lin in this thread than about westbrook in the entire season. what's that all about? when will it stop? there's a reason why it's called 15 minutes of fame...
