No, but is a step in the right direction, especially considering that many predicted Houston to be the worst team in the NBA this year.
I'm actually watching the games because I'm trying to assess Lin as a player and obviously unsure how good he is based on the limited amount of games he has played....
I can totally agree with this statement but how come when supporters were telling posters like Nupe and the likes isn't it a little too early to have Lin all sized up after 25-35gms they were be debrided?
Ooops I meant derided
Here's the deal, Lin has played enough games to make this assessment...
He is a rotational player who can play meaningful minutes at a significant position.
Now what next can we say about Lin?
Is he a bonafied starter as a point guard? I'd say yes but wouldn't be shocked if posters such as yourself said you need to see more games
For those who think he is....Is he an average starting pont guard? Once again I say yes... but ditto above
Is he an above average starter? I'd say too soon..... ditto above
Did he and Harden play well together and did the Rockets have success while and/or both player was on the court regardless of who they were playing? Yes
Will they play like this for 82gms? No but is it likely they develop better chemistry going forward? Yes
Are both players worth their contract? Still too soon to say but it's leaning towards yes based on current market value of players in the league. Let's not forget Asik too another player Morey was goofed on for signing.
Might be a good idea for you to stop watching Rockets game if this is how they will play in a good portion of them.
