Anyone else notice that exchange at around the 6 minute mark in the 4th quarter? Harden WANTED to defer to Lin but he just waived him off. What the ****? It's like he's scared to even touch the ball ever since that last game. I mean, you can tell that the talent is there, it's just that he's afraid to live up to expectations.

His confidence is at an all-time low right now, stemming from the Miami game airballs.

Dont care, we won, this really isn't important.
I look at it this way, I compare Lin to the almighty Kyle Muthaf*ckin Lowry... two years ago that is when they were the same age and Lowry got the starting job from beginning of the season.
Many here were pissed complained Brooks should still have the spot, I was open to Lowry cause he is just a bull on both sides.
Statistically last I saw Lin is very similar to Lowry stats two years ago and I fully expect him to continue growing.
Brooks, Lowry, Dragic.... I have full faith in or FO staff in pg development.

Nice positive approach. It's a long season as long as he continues to grow...

He can't grow if he plays scared. He also almost lost the game when he ran into that double team from Vasquez and that other guy.

yea, when he drives, its either a pass or he stops and does a turn around fadeaway that always misses

Fair go, he got three steals. Sure, he had an off shooting night, so did Parsons, Delfino as well. Harden's 30, Morris and like it or not Douglas (

) played well today.
I would really count this game as Lin's worst performance from an offensive standpoint. He did well on D, (which is where many say he sucks, even though he is top 5 in steals this season.)
Team is young, and growing. I am more concerned about the Royce White situation than anything else!!

Too many open looks passed up. I think the critics are finally getting into his head. Really hard to improve your game if the world watches thru a microscope.

Exactly. All this mental crap. Who cares. He's just not that good. It's not the media, he's starting to realize his limits and is deferring him to the better Hardin. Can you blame him? We take too many threes. Not a sign

All I meant was that we kinda went through this with Lowry... except Lowry was always aggressive.
Maybe Lin has "I just got paid syndrome, and I dont give a damn anymore"

Lin continues playing of wrong way and he is very sad on the court
If continues so Lin has great chances of don't more part in Houston for next season
