When Jason Kidd signed with the Knicks, he was very loudly saying how much fun it'll be to mentor Lin. So I think Kidd was seeing the many...
Actually, I mean "several months before the Knicks signed Jason Kidd".
Good point. I've always thought that Lin's floor generalship was his greatest talent, above even the scoring heroics of Linsanity. Several...
Absolutely. Assists since iso-Beard-ball started: Lin 45, Harden 28. Lin has maintained the nearly 2-to-1 assist advantage over Harden...
Can you read? I was saying that Harden has been shooting 37% for the last <b>seven games</b>, since his ISOs have been dominating the offense....
Harden has been shooting only slightly better, 37%, since iso-Beard-ball started. Are you saying that he should not be touching the ball either?
Make that "is likely intended to be our final offense". Our coaches may finally realize that iso-Beard-ball is bad for our team.
The small adjustments every team makes are not at all the same as a major change in offensive system. Why go through the latter trauma...
Good work. I agree somewhat, though I also disagree. This is my main objection. Why waste time with iso-Beard-ball, only to change offenses...
Dikembe Mutombo with better passing. Omer has a long way to go though.
Exactly, roxxy. A coach is supposed to raise a team's play, not make it worse. Harden's even worse than Monta right now (0.330 in the last five...
Let me see if I understand you correctly. You trust Harden with the ball more than Lin, even though Harden has had more than twice as many...
Let's hope so. But never underestimate the impact of sheer stubbornness. That's why there are people who still believe the Earth is flat.
Of course we're not isolating all the time. Not even Michael Jordan had a usage rate of 100% (if I recall, it was 33% or thereabouts). As for...
I wonder how long Harden will put up with shooting 0.330 and <b>demand</b> a change to the offense. Or perhaps the coaching staff will wake up,...
We're worried about being too dependent on Lin and Harden, so the solution is to become super dependent on Harden only? If we put it that baldly,...
In the five games with our current "isolate the Beard to death" offense, Harden has been averaging 17 points, 4 boards, and 4 assists a game, and...
You do realize, don't you, that everything you wrote about developing Harden should apply just as strongly to Lin? The evidence we have, namely...
You aren't being fair in using Lin's 14.6/6.2 per game last year, as he spent the first half of the season getting only garbage time, if that....
Moving the goal posts, aren't you? Typical loser strategy.
