	I remember this talk last summer about Nash and Dwight. Nash isn't half the player he used to be though so hopefully we'll be good. __________________ ?Our offense is like the Pythagorean Theorem. There is no answer.? - Shaq

	Doesn't make sense. JLin is as good a PnR player as Harden but Harden is a better shooter, shouldn't Harden be the one at the 3 pt line? Why wouldn't you use the strength of each player on your roster?

Still hasn't really sunk in. __________________ Goozers n Boozers | Johnny Football SEC-SEC-SEC | Al Michaels was traded from ABC to NBC for a cartoon character...

Why wouldn't you use the strength of each player on your roster? You're forgetting one point. James Harden is better at the step back three than Jeremy Lin is. The step back three is ESSENTIAL to the whole pick and roll. The defender has to go over the screen allowing an easy pathway to the basket for either Dwight or James. Lin is also a great pick and roll player, but is not as good as James Harden is. Mainly because of the lack of consistency in his shot. Lin's defender can go under the screen and "dare" him to shoot that three over the screen.

Lin ... his pick-and-roll offense ranks in the 76th percentile in the NBA (.849 PPP)." - USAToday

Mid range jumper aren't efficient and is against Rocket's philosophy. The team would much rather have a player take an efficient 3 than a contested step back.

It wouldn't be a contested step back. James Harden would only shoot a step back if the defender goes under the screen. Lin is limited in that he cannot shoot that step back and defenders will just sag off and make the pick and roll less effective. Jeremy Lin is healthy and hopefully his improved jump shot is here to stay. I am hoping that he can make that open three at a high rate because if he cannot then yes, we are wasting his strength as a pick and roll player. Regardless, James Harden is the better pick and roll player, period.
