    2. zxcvbMarch 3, 2013 at 4:43 PM

      He has to cool off Jeremy's stats. It's important to McHale that Jeremy "know his place" and defer to Harden.

      Morey also supports this because Harden having superstar stats could help attract an elite PF like Love of Aldridge. And Harden won't have superstar stats like Kobe if Jeremy is allowed to play his role and primary ballhandler.

      Not a good plan (it's a better plan to WIN), but it makes some sense in today's 100% ego-driven NBA.

      If Beverly plays well, it doesn't matter what Jeremy does. He will be benched even if he's on pace for 30 pts like the Orlando game.

    McHale will still try to bench him all 4th quarter.

    He really doesn't want Jeremy to succeed. If Jeremy plays aggressive today and all month...McHale will reduce his playing time.

    So sad to see an All-Star talent treated like trash because of skin color. I just hope McHale gets canned in the offseason...or at least disciplined like the low IQ punk he is.

      At the end of this contact, he is an unrestricted agent. He can go where ever he wants. Houston has his bird rights or whoever trades for him during this contact will get his bird rights. The advantage of having bird rights is that they can go over the cap without being penalized. They still have to pay luxury tax.

      BTW, I really APPLAUD HARDEN for not being selfish anymore. He's really giving the ball up regularly in big spots -- even when he's hot.

      Jeremy has won James over. But McHale remains unconviced.

      Please, Les, I know McHale had a terrible personal tragedy this year, but he's ruining the careers of several young men, including Jeremy. And that's not fair. Let him go quietly in the offseason and sign Dave Blatt or Stan Van Gundy.

      McHale: "Now you look a bit more like Beverley, Lin!"

      Probably blame Lin for missing that 3 pointer and blame Lin shooting more than Harden?!

      McHale: Only up by 3 points, big deal. If the offense is run through Harden, we would be blowing out the Mavs. Let's do it in the 2nd half.

      Parsons is utter trash when he tries to be a playmaker.

      Parsons is a star when he just cuts and shoots off the catch.

      @zxvb:

      McHale slauthered a chicken and rolled the dice this morning. Dice told him to reverse Lins and Parsons roles.

    well, Lin missed the last trey and he looked too disappointed. Just try again until McHale takes out!

    Got to stay aggressive, Jeremy!

    First half joy:
    - Garcia 100% for 8pts, 3 fouls
    - Lin you know
    - Parsons v good on ball when he can see the halfcourt run
    - Bev showed coach is wrong, though I like Bev
    - DMo preetty preetty good
    - Del ... argh!
    - Harden will step it up.

    Fingers crossed for a coached 2nd half. Team is doing great. No Del or Bev reliance, please.

    Lin needs to keep playing like this in the second half. With all his heart. Plus I need him on fantasy, and he is just having an amazing game. A must watch!

      Last game, when Lin was iced out of the game, it was about 8 harden and 7 Lin in scoring when I noticed a long bench.

      Harden is giving up the ball and letting him facilitate tonight (vs. what he started doing in second quarter of Orlando game, going into hero ball mode and trying to play point guard and shooting guard).

      IIRC, Collison couldn't guard Lin when he was with Knicks last year (http://www.ibtimes.com/jeremy-lin-knicks-beat-indiana-pacers-second-straight-win-video-highlights-426514), and he still can't do it.

      I believe Lin came up big in fourth quarter and essentially closed out game for Knicks that night.

      Hopefully James doesn't get jealous of Lin's success in first half, and do what he did in second quarter of Orlando game. Let Lin facilitate and wait patiently for Lin or someone else to pass him the ball after Lin has disrupted Maverick's set defense, and let Harden attack in quasi transition type situation.

      Go Jeremy, go James, and go Rockets!!!!

    Just started watching. Maybe I am not good luck for Lin. Whenever, I don't watch he completely dominates.

    Went to Clips and OKC game today. Ibaka had a nasty hit on Griffin today. I would rather Houston play Clippers in playoffs. When they are off, they do not have any playmakers.

    Well as worrell commented, it looks like harden is getting bothered by the knee. This would be perfect opp for McHale rest harden and let jer win the game.

    If Jeremy gets subdued again in the second half, I swear I'm flu out to Houston and have a talk with McHale.

    Hypothesis:

    SAS

    Teams that Lin gets to play PG against.
