LOL at this anonymous Lin slander

"More than a problem with his knee, what I saw again from Lin is that he is limited as an athlete," was how one person with years of NBA experience put it after seeing Lin's debut. "Offensively, he should be fine. But when he has to guard opposing point guards, especially guys with speed like Russell Westbrook, he is going to really struggle."

Sounds like more tough times ahead for Jeremy Lin.

OH NOEZ he won't be able to guard Russell Westbrook! You know who else won't be able to guard Russy?

Raymond Felton. And about 28 other starting point guards in the NBA.

the funniest thing in the world was the Heats tryna put Wade's looking ass in front of him.

now if they woulda said that Jason Kidd would torch Lin then we would have a problem.

no joke, but Darko can be really good with great talent surrounding him. His D and his post game has been really good. I think him signing with the C's and playing with KG is gonna be great for Darko. I can only hope so

Jalen Rose, whose star continues to rise at ESPN, has just been selected as the 4th member of ESPN’s “NBA Countdown,” sources tell me. The deal, which came together over the weekend, will pair Rose with Bill Simmons, Magic Johnson and Michael Wilbon, as ESPN makes a run at TNT’s “Inside the NBA.” The two shows don’t go head-to-head, but “Inside the NBA” is far more popular among fans.

ESPN didn’t return an email seeking comment.

Rose will be a busy man this winter. He’s replacing Hubert Davis on ESPN College Basketball Gameday (which will travel eight times), and he’s going to remain a co-host of Numbers Never Lie. Rose, 39, won’t be calling any college basketball games this year, a source said.

ESPN was slated to add Stan Van Gundy to “NBA Countdown,” last month, but as we reported last week, David Stern put the kibosh on that. (Van Gundy went on the radio and blasted ESPN for the decision.) Isiah Thomas was briefly in the picture to take Van Gundy’s spot, but a source says Bill Simmons favored Rose over the former Pistons point guard. A source said Simmons thought the Isiah-Magic pair might skew old with viewers, and he favored Rose, the former Fab 5 star.

Simmons didn’t return an email seeking comment.

@ that lineup though.
