Raymon Sessions also had a fluke run like lin and he came back to earth to. Law of averages always wins out and role players revert back to there talent level.
LOL it's not just stats, Thomas is a lot more skilled then Lin. It is clowns like you who make people dislike LOF's lol
To his defense, he's not a Rockets fan, he only joined Clutchfans because there is an 'interesting discussion' about Lin. It's like if I'm vegetarian, I'd like to join a BBQ group because they have 'interesting discussions' about coleslaw.
Forgive him, he didn't join when the rest of the Lin fans thought Lin was better than Harden, Sam Cassell, Steve Nash, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan
I'm not buying this story that you are not aware of Boston or Thomas's success after you say you are in the East Coast, a Nets fan. Yet you are somehow find Clutchfans, a board for die hard Rockets fans, and pinpoint a Jeremy Lin thread which is suppose to be a discussion of Lin by Rockets fans. I'm sure there's an interesting discussion about James Harden the Lakers board, but no Rockets fan would join an entire community just to 'talk' about Harden. Or you mean try to oppose their views when they are against yours. There are universal boards about every team like Hoopshype or realgm or ESPN. that encompasses all fans. Team boards were meant for team fans. The story doesn't add up
I'm coming in late to the convo, but let me get this straight. You are of the opinion that Jeremy Lin is on the same level as Isaiah Thomas? Hmm, based on....? Because as far as I'm concerned, IT is a legitimate MVP threat and wins games. Jeremy Lin is a decent player, no doubt about it. I'd say he's average to above average. Isaiah Thomas is a star. Shut the **** up.
Well this is his reply Look at Lin's history Rockets, Starter then loss starter job to Beverly Lakers, Starter then loss starter job to Clarkson Hornets, Backup to Kemba Beverly and Clarkson and Kemba are not playing at the same level as Thomas is with the Celtics
This is exactly why they don't like him. Thomas also backed up his words. They hate that he's a superstar now.
With Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan out of the NBA, I really only watch the NBA for Lin now...and since he's been out for so many games this season, I've just not watched much basketball this season. This board has so many great people to engage with...you are the best. So I am here.
My opinion is based on what I saw of Isaiah Thomas last season. I've mentioned elsewhere that I haven't seen him play much this year. Looking at his stats and Boston's position in the standings, he appears to be much improved from last year.
I said that I was a NEW JERSEY NETS fan. When the owners moved them to Brooklyn, they died to me. Perhaps because you are not from NJ, you would not understand how much of a backstab that was to the fans from NJ. NJ lives in the shadow of NYC...and to lose one of our pro teams to NYC was a huge slap in the face to us long-suffering NJ Nets fans. It was made worse by the fact that it happened so soon after the Nets had actually become respectable via Jason Kidd. So when they moved, I stopped being a Nets fan. The ONLY reason I root for the Nets now is because Jeremy Lin plays for them. So when Lin was injured and not playing, I didn't pay much attention to the team. Now he's back, and I'm watching them again. They won tonight, btw.
And btw - I did say elsewhere that my favorite player outside of Yao, Lin and Maloney was Kevin Garnett. And that if I was going to be a fan of any team purely based on the basketball, it would be the Spurs.
There's a number of people who think you truly don't know about Thomas's season this year Spoiler ZERO You could have easily picked a different point guard to compare Lin with, but this was deliberate because of Thomas's statement. Nobody believes you don't know what the Celtics are doing now and certainly nobody agrees with your opinion that Lin is better than him, this goes for every fan in the world for every team.
Apparently you knew of Thomas last year when you posted this . "Among Lin Fans?" where do they post? do they have their own board?
