they're certainly using him like Rafer. so is Harden T-Mac? i actually wouldn't mind if Harden played like a healthy T-Mac. because all Rafer did was bring the ball up and hand if off to T-Mac and then spot up at the three line to make 1 out of 3, but he was so streaky/unclutch, it seemed like he missed a lot more.

no, but Lin's not Rafer. he has worse handles but better vision. slightly better tangibles (rebounding, blocks, steals), better passing and arguably better, maybe much better intangibles (an Asian, smaller Battier with worse defense). Lin is a better finisher (doesn't have Alston's ugly teardrop) and free throw shooter. they're actually similar defensively, with emphasis on stealing, although Lin seems to be able to handle the bigger PGs better. Lin also has better BB IQ in general, although he turns the ball over a lot more.

This must be the second article which mentions the coaching as part of the storyline.
