*files paperwork for Jeremy Lin*

[mastermind]

Steve Nash at Santa Clara was one of the most heralded collegiate point guards in his day.

Him being a success in the NBA didnt catch anyone by surpirse.

Nash was a first round pick too in the GOAT draft.

Lin's not playing that well but lol @ a few of ya'll. Gotta hop in every Rockets thread hating for no reason. Life must suck...

Anyway a few comments, if Lin's sample size was so small last year how does an even smaller sample size prove the opposite? Lin is still a young player yet some treat him as if he's a finished product like ol buddy who he knew he'd prove to be sorry because he went to Harvard and was undrafted. Just because something doesn't fit into you simplistic view of the world doesn't mean it's possible (and that goes for many things in life). Also, he doesn't make $8 mil. He makes 5, 5 then 15. By that 3rd year he'll either prove to be a worthy piece to the puzzle or he will be trade bait with that salary. For dude asking about Lowry/Dragic, Lowry was NOT coming back regardless. Besides him being moved paved the way for Harden. I love Lowry but Harden>>>Lowry. We did want Dragic back though and he turned it down. It is what it is but don't rewrite history.

Like I said Lin isn't shooting well and doesn't look completely healthy but some of ya'll are easy to see through and I'm not even talking about Knicks fans because I understand where ya'll are coming from.

btw I guess I was the only one who got a laugh at dude who posted Felton's stats as if they were impressive. Other than having worse shooting numbers (aside from free throws) and scoring Lin has better stats so far.

What are you talking about @Charlie Broadway ? Almost 6 More points , more assists less to , higher per all better than Lin on top of fg percentage. he's much better
Read the new cba I don't think it's that easy to trade contracts anymore I believe the other team needs space or something

Lin was ALWAYS a bum. Dantoni had yall fooled

Yeah I don't think people realize just how many people there are out there that can score 20 points a few times when given the keys to an offense and 40 minutes of playing time. His best game was when he went up against Derek Fisher. 100 other point guards have that same distinction on their resume.

He's not total trash and I do think he's good enough to be in the NBA on merit and not just because he's asian, but no one should have ever believed Linsanity could last.

Homeboy had a come-up,milked the system and is set for life.Whats to hate about it?

Um...cause this a sports thread, where we discuss players' performances maybe?

Yeah I said Lin had worse shooting/scoring stats and at the time Lin had more assists. I don't even like Lin all that much so I'm not gonna defend dude beyond just trying to look at the situation objectively (at least from my pov). He's been playing terrible since about when McHale left and no I don't think that's the reason why he's been bad. He's certainly in the bottom quarter of starting point guards but he's still young. That said he's definitely not as bad as he's been playing lately.

I always find it funny when people blame D'antoni for making someone look like a star as if anyone has looked amazing that was actually trash. Closest example is Duhon and Knicks fans still hated it when he was starting for us

who cant put up 38 points when neither team was playing defense?

 

[No_bammer_weed]

I guess we can expect this stupid ish from the lin groupies...the bar is so low for him now, any good performance from now on will be met with a ticker tape parade. This is what decent role players do --- they explode from time to time. Wake me up when he has more than 1:15 good game ratio.

One pattern that seems to be developing, and it has to be unsettling as a Lin fan. Dude plays his best when he is on the floor with scrubs and hes the number 1 option. He couldnt play with Melo, Amare, and now it seems like Harden either. Its like hes the Asian A.I.

Now, is any team willing to make him their number 1 option?

 

[King Jove]

mchale should let him run a little more point instead of having him camp at the 3 point line and just shoot 3's

Don't disrespect the god A.I. like that.
