Linsantiy is back ! He cuts down the TOs he can play with almost anyone.What is Lin’s TOs rate compared with Westbrook, Wall and Irving ?

I agree.
I think that Harden is the better overall player, but Lin is more ball dominant.
What I mean is, Harden was effective in OKC where he had to sometimes defer to Durant and Westbrook and play off the ball as the third option on offense, but Lin hasn’t shown the ability to do that – he isn’t great at spot-up shooting or making cuts off the ball.

I think McHale should give Lin more opportunities with the ball – with Lin obviously looking for Harden as the first option on most plays, but at the same time, looking for his own shot if he notices a favorable matchup.

As good as Harden is with the ball in his hands, this makes you wonder if they should alter the offense to put it in Lin’s control a little more often than they were. He obviously plays better that way.
