Its garbage time and vs the 3rd unit but he seems to be the only other player that can penetrate with speed/quickness, with a handle.
Again, we need to have 2 players that can penetrate at PG/SG at all times, to create ball movement, because no one else can do it.
Iman and Baron Davis are the only other players, with Melo after that...

good things happen, when a PG can penetrate and break down our opponents defense.
Bibby or TD are both shooters that can not penetrate with speed/quicknes.
Iman should start with Lin next game and see what happens from there?
Like seriously, we aren't even playing competitively, what do we have to lose?

I agree that Lin should get some burn. Starting....maybe not yet..but he has to get some burn. He is deadly in PnR. I don't t care that he did it against 3rd string. This is the NBA and these guys are also trying to impress. You can see Lin directing players to their spots. Lin also has a very deceptive speed.

Lin was the only guy that attempted to drive the basket....he did it whenever he had the opportunity. He needs to get off the bench. He has bounce.

Also why isn't Jerome Jordan getting burn?

I am also flabbergasted. I like MDA but this is just stupid. Lin and Jerome Jordan should have been in at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Did anyone not expect Durant to go bonkers with Walker guarding him?

Same for Harden and Westbrook, Iman is our only defender?
If he can start Bibby which he doesn't have the ability to penetrate or defend, why can't he start Lin?
In fact why didn't Lin and Balkman didn't come in earlier?

We were outmatched today, we all knew it was going to happen the way Gay looked yesterday.
Durant and the Thunder is far better than Gay and Memphis, with the only exemption of Gasol...

Seriously, Lin is our best option at PG, he can only go right from what I see but he is the only player we have with quickness, can penetrate, and has a handle.
Start him with Iman at Orlando plz..

I agree and I am wondering the same thing about Jordan. He is productive whenever he is on the floor.

+1 Lin always attacks offensively, passes, and plays tough defense.

Stop calling me your girlfriend!
Are you bringing enysis and your new gf to killas?

If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Lin was penetrating to the basket vs. 3rd string players. Hard to say if he can get to the hole vs, Westbrook, DRose, Rondo and the like....

Not sure about Lin because I've not seen enough of him. We need a pg that can penetrate and play with reckless abandon the way that Wall and Dwill do.....to go in and not worry about the contact.

Speaking of penetrtaing at will, Ish Smith is available. From what I've seen he's a better prospect than Lin...Would sign him asap...

Well, Lin looked much better than his last game....
do you remember that inspirational game where he had 4 fouls in 4 minutes?

Jeremy, I hope you are reading, I think I know what you can do to earn a spot in the rotation. You still have 2 maybe3 weeks to do this before BD comes back. There is one thing that no PG on this team can do until BD comes back - run a PnR. If you can execute one SINGLE PnR play during a game you will play the next game during non garbage minutes. If you can execute two, just two PnR plays in one outing you will become our #1 PG . Why? Because our coach needs the PnR play executed for the offence to flow freely. That single thing makes a world of difference. I am very serious. ONE PnR play intitiated at the elbow with the roll player receiving the ball in stride so that they don't have to dribble. Amare will get really excited too if he sees you do that, but more important- you will get playing time afterwards
Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

Actually did see TD go to the hoop last night and finish as well He drew fouls twice getting into the lane and hit his free throws. He was also 5-10 and scored 14 and had 2 steals.
