    I don't like Jon Barry but he was close to being spot on in his take of Lin

    Pretty much laughed off Lin's contract saying he got paid for the 2 week play and called him a career back up

    I can picture Lin fans slamming their keyboards and calling Barry a hater and racist

    After one half Lin has 3 points on 1/4 shooting, 1 rebound, 3 assist and 3 TO. Team high -12

    Lakers were in the game till Lin came in and messed up everything.

    Good night.

    Lin just committed back to back turnovers and got dunked on.
    Then Byron boots him out of the game

    Poor handle. Should have gotten rid of the ball quickly.

    Lin making Curry look like his b**** now. Lin is the real MVP. Golden state must been crying right now that they kept Curry instead of Lin. Another great game by Lin proving that he deserves the max next year.

    Byron subbing Lin in and out shows you how much he thinks of his defense.

    Well, that was anti-climatic. Was rooting for the Lakers to upset the Warriors there.

    Another game. Another proof that when the going gets tough the last person you want handling the ball is Jeremy Lin.

    Who, ironically, also plays the Point guard position.

    No seriously, think about this for a second..... Jeremy Lin as a point guard, with the role of handling the ball, when under pressure, becomes the worst ball handler for your team.

    You cant fix his poor handles and his poor decision making. He still gets in the lane, jumps in the air, and looks around to pass. Unbelievable.

    With 5 minutes left, Warriors turned up the intensity and Jeremy Lin with some horrendous ball handling and decision making leading to back to back turnovers.

    He could have easily had more in that 4th quarter. IIRC, two of his other wayward passes were bad as well. Teammate other than the one he was intending for the pass to go to, had to save it. Lin already had more turnovers than asissts. It could easily have been worse.

    Straight from the announcers mouth.

    "This has always been the problem with Jeremy Lin, taking care of the ball"

    also....

    Lets stop the "Lakers are not not playing Lin heavy minutes so they must be tanking" LIE which Lin fanatics keep trying to spread. Nothing but LIES.

    Yet another game where Lakers were doing well without Lin on the floor. Lakers were down in a hole early because of Jeremy Lin and then they lost momentum again in the 4th quarter because of Lin's play.

    Yet another game where the Lakers got the game within a single bucket with less than a minute left with Lin on the bench.

    Again, straight from the announcers mouth....

    "Lakers getting quality shots without Jeremy Lin in the floor"

    Lastly, SHOCK SHOCK SHOCK.......

    .....Racist Byron Scott brought Lin back into the game with 11 seconds left to give him an opportunity to get a 3 point shot off.

    Yup, yet another Lie spread by Lin fans. Another lie that gets shot down.

    Chill out Sean Hannity! Everyone here knows you have a lot of opinions but very few facts!

    How the heck did you think the score was even that close? You failed to mention who brought them back to even the score at 95-95? Take off your tunnel vision glass when you watch the Lakers play, dang!

    Jeremy had 5 TO? PROOF that Lin sucks right?....Oh what? Curry had 6 TO? Well, that's because he was taking risk, sometime it plays off sometimes it don't.

    Considered an off night for Curry while Jeremy has similar stats in less minutes, and he's viewed as a scrub.
    Goes to show you, Jeremy "the 4th stringer" Lin has to come off the bench, ballin' lights out to be considered serviceable in the NBA or else he just "disappear" against good teams.

    Oh Jeremy, a minority just can't underperform in the NBA. CFers and the likes, always talking shiet but expects MVP caliber games out of you. So much weight on your shoulder. To some you are definitely a trailblazer...and I don't mean from Portland.

    We all can agree that it was a fun exciting game! Sweet Dreams!

    Lakers lose by three, could not overcome Jeremy Lin's -11.

    Curry has 7 TOs but nobody gives a damn.

    Actually the GSW announcer was very complimentary to Lin.

    You and Danang seem to give a damn. Maybe one of you should create a thread talking about Curry's turnovers but in the Lin thread all we do is Lin Lin Lin.

    Also, forgot to mention another tactics that Lin fanatic like to use:

    Give all the credit to Lin for the positives, but put all the blame on the team for the negatives.

    Jordan Clarkson, Wesley Johnson, Wayne Ellington, contributing working their ass off to bring he team back (all with positive doubel digit +/-)....*crickets*

    Lin with the worst +/- on the team -> but but he brought the Lakers back!!!!

    Never mind the terrible play of the first half and the two costly back to back turnovers that pretty much killed them.

    I would be complimentary too if you awarded my team the win with two beautiful turnovers.

    Also, no one gives a damn about Curry because its an aberration, not a norm.

    If you want to say that Curry was barely better than Lin, then tbh, you're right, but that's not saying much for Lin

    Yea...that's just Curry being out of character.
    But that Jeremy Lin...he's gotta cut down on his turnovers, whats his average this season 2.2?

    Why can't hold the rock like James Harden? Excuse me, what? Harden turnover rate for this year is 4?? Nothing to see here folks, uughh....lets get back to trashing Lin.

    I already posted my praises to them in the: Jordan Clarkson, Wesley Johnson, Wayne Ellington thread.

    I din't want to be redundant, my apologies for staying on topic in this Jeremy Lin is a Laker thread.

    Knicks fans were right.....

    Should have listened to them.

    Three years down the road and still the same story.

    Are there folks that seriously think that he can improve his handles and his decision making?

    What can he try now that he has not tried in last three years??

    Good one Zboi! Workind double duty I see.
    But one Lin consumer to another, I would get my refund back from Pepperidge Farms. Mis-labeling.False advertisement. It only comes with 2.2 turnover in a box this year and 2.7 for the Costco career size pack.
