    Is that prediction really that much of a stretch? In his two seasons at Houston, Lin averaged the following per 36 line:

    15.2pt 6.1ast 3.3reb 1.5stl 3.2to 0.4blk

    44.3% fg, 34.8% 3pt, 80.4% ft

    Looking forward to these Lin stats tonight:

    assists to Patrick Beverly
    assists to James Harden
    assists to Trevor Ariza
    assists to the sideline
    assists to Jack Nicholson
    assists to the invisible dude over the backboard

    Someone over there posted one of the pics I had posted here and paraphrased my comments. However I think the mods over there usually don't allow non basketball stuff and remove material they consider to be sexist or racist.

    Yes, yes it is. Why would his shooting percentages go up on a garbage team? The more shots he takes the bigger the drop. He was getting good looks here playing with a good team and still struggled to convert them consistently. His points may go up but so will his turnovers. My guess is he's back on the bench by the All-Star break

    I have no idea. Considering it's LA you would think the site would allow embedding photos and video, but it doesn't seem like it. I think one of the mods over there is a woman so some of the stuff we get away with here would never be allowed in the basketball part of their forum. They do have a "women we love" thread in an off topic forum, but it's only 48 pages.

    I'd bring those percentages down a couple points each and bring the turnovers up to the low 3s. The rest seems about right.

    He actually probably will with the amount of injuries the Lakers are facing in the backcourt.

    You do know that players are capable of improving especially when they are 26.

    I browsed that LG site and the first topic I saw was a Jeremy Lin thread. On the last page, some clown had the audacity to reference a site called JeremyLintel.com to prove that Lin should start. Lmfao.

    I like Lin, but I'm starting to see why you guys hated LOFs so much. God damn.

    I checked out the lg forums and majority of the members there agree that Lin should start.

    Oh I agree he should, Price is a nobody. But the fact that that certain poster had to use a Lin fan site to validate his point was just hilarious.

    he scored 12.6 points on NINE shots. 12.5 field goals and 2 more ft attempts are there for the taking just like they were here when harden sat out.
    at a 45%, that should be 4 points without any improvement on his shooting.

    the turnovers would be at 3.6. He could really do himself some good by shooting a reverse double pump windmill lay up instead of passing it with nowhere to go. A chance at a rebound is better than a break a way lay up the other way.

    but just like you can't teach his finish at the rim and his first step, you can't teach High basketball I.Q.

    Dude is too worried about his FG%. Just shoot the freaking ball when you're open instead of turning the ball over. He'll be a marginal starter until he realizes it's better for him to try to draw a foul in the restricted area than have Robert Sacre shoot contested 15' jumpers.
