They are fun but take it down a notch :). OKC is elite, Houston is not there yet. Harden is a beast but Lin still has rough edges such as his jumper. Chandler is a nice all around player.
What do you mean take it down a notch? I said two years. They are going up against elite teams at the moment without a care in the world and making those elite teams work for their points/wins.
When was the last time you saw a team blow out the Rockets?
Lin will only continue to improve. He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone at this point except just continue to play excellent basketball consistently. We already know what he's capable of.
The only two weaknesses I see from Lin is his outside perimeter shots and his ability to drive/dribble left. There will be some nights where he shoots 1 for 5 and some nights where he goes 4 for 5.
His mid range/paint drive games are both excellent. He doesn't really have Turnover problems anymore unlike his Linsanity days. Lin is improving and above all, very FUN to watch.
This is why Houston Rockets are the 2nd most favored team for attendance right behind the L.A Lakers. When Rockets come into town, people buy tickets and put their A$$ in the seat.
Ironically, their home game crowd are almost always empty.
