uh what? he's in his prime, 28. he's at his physical peak.

I'm not sure about that. He will be 29 in 1 month. You can make a comparison whit some similar plays he does this year and he used to do in Cleveland. For the same play he used to dunk the ball on penetration or posterize defenders. Now he goes for the lay up. He isn't as quick as he used to be on his first step.
Maybe he can jump very high but he isn't the same kind of freak of nature he was in Celveland. Maybe i'm wrong and it's a feeling.

I don't think there's a bigger ballhog in the league than James Harden.

If you look at that play, Nash screened(aka bearhugged) Lin. Beverley is then supposed to switch, but Gasol screened him

Well from what I watched last night it must of been Karma. Beverly who I will admit does have great defense sometimes was beating the crap out of Nash all night. Some whistles and some where non calls.

Karma is a bitch but it looks like instead the asian kid from San Francisco is taking the beating in end. Just like Bruce Lee who is also born for San Francisco. Interesting :wink:

Sometimes Harden makes Kobe look like Jason Kidd

Ironically Lin has been one of their most consistent players so far. And I think he can take the stars yelling at him. It's not right, but that's a regular in professional sports.

No idea why Parsons is yelling so much though. All his talk about being the 3rd star yet he's been playing terribly on both ends of the floor. Inbounding the ball to Dwight was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

True.

Kobe did go into his Magic Bryant routine last season to try to make Dwight happy. Dude is like 36 years old and he was leading the league in scoring averaging 32 points a game. Then he toned it down and went for triple doubles.

I guess you can rest that Kobe is hard to play with talk now.
It's definitely Dwight.

It's definitely Dwight.

And Kobe has the balls to actually take the shot when he hogs the ball for 24 seconds. Harden passes it to somebody for a bailout.

That, 100%, warranted criticism for causing the loss. Dwights free throws are are a huge issue, but a known issue, and something you can't really control in the moment. The inbound was terrible game management and something Chandler should take heat for...but how is the coach not screaming at Dwight to stay away from the F***king ball.

Inappropriate comment.

I keep saying.
Lin is still a very good player.

He just needs his own team.
Not his own team as the best player, just a team where he's actually allowed to be the PG for the majority of the time he's on the floor.
He should go play for D'Antoni again.

I don't think it should just be for D'Antoni, although that probably would be on his list if D'Antoni is still coach.

I actually want to see Lin go play for the Spurs under Poppovich. A coach that is known to hold everyone accountable. Lin only has 2 seasons left on his contract, so he can just take all this as part of his learning experience.

Given how far Ginobili has fallen, they do need a spark plugs on the bench.

Cyberx has been spot on with his leaks so far, including the one about Queen Howard landing in Houston. Way, way before anyone else caught wind of it. When he talks, people tend to listen.

Lin is too high profile to be on the Spurs. And not foreign enough lol

But when he plays really well, the media circus would get too crazy. SA isn't the organization for that.

The Spurs aren't the place to go if he wants to be a fringe all-star player. But he WOULD play really well off the bench there.
