Today's Game Discussion [1/8/13]

Harden shredded Lakers. as expected.

If this was last year around this time (before Linsanity) would you believe a team Lead by Lin and Harden would be this good?

[Knicks4life]

Impressed by the way J-Whistle has adjusted to being a #1 option.

@Pacers #BlueCollar defense RT @ESPNStatsInfo: Ray Allen was held scoreless tonight for the 2nd time in his NBA career. The other came Feb. 26, 1997

Two games... let me rephrase since NOT NECESSARY: check out the last month of 2012.

Paul George's ball handling begs to differ on that easy 20+ a night, gonna need some more time.

Kobe carried the lakers again with his 36% from the field.

Way to take a compliment of one your favorite team's players the wrong way and get bent out of shape over nothing. I'm well aware of what George has been doing this season, particularly the last month and what he's capable of. If you want to deny that he's too passive at times and capable of being dominant more often than he is, go ahead but you're wrong.

Compliment? He's in his 3rd year, he's heard the passive talk. He wasn't passive at all last night, he hasn't been very passive at all the past month.

Give him a break, he's not going to easily average 20+ on this team or with his development yet.

He's heard the passive talk because it's true, and obviously he wasn't last night which was my point. You know, the original post where I said why doesn't he do this every night? He's too good to not play like that all the time, especially without Granger.

Because his shot doesn't fall every night. He has to rely on his hot hand, which has been hot the past month. Those two games you mentioned before last night, he was 0-7 from three. He got 12 of his points from three last night. He's not going to go flying into the lane because his ball handling is not good enough. When he tried that last night in the first half, he failed miserably.
