So a good team shows up. Guess what Lin does? 7 points, ZERO assists and 4 turnovers so far Dude is a pansy when the big boys show up. Oh and getting owned by Shelvin Mack Teams have reserves like Shroder and Mack who are better than Lin and yet his idiot fans think he is a starter or top 15 PG.
lol. so when Jeremy gets started = It's for tanking purposes when Jeremy plays well = he stat pads on meaningless games when Jeremy plays bad = we told you so when Jeremy gets benched = see? he's a scrub when Jeremy gets reduced minutes = Laker's are not tanking, Jeremy sucks nice circular logic. Lin's nowhere near all-star level but he's certainly not the worst on the horrendous Laker's roster. If Lakers truly wanted to tank at 100%, they'd start Sacre, Price, Hill, Johnson, and Kelly. I would never start Lin as a coach, because Lin = win for that crap team.
blueshampoo, stop being logical. It has no place in this thread. Lin is either a 4th-string PG or MVP caliber. Nothing else.
WTF...only on CF does players with career average of 5 pts (Mack) and 6.8 (Schroder) are better that Jeremy Lin. lawwwwlzz By the way, thanks for staying up to midnight to watch the Lakers game and reporting back. Your dedication doesn't go unnoticed. And your wrong idiot Jeremy Lin fans knows he's a top 14 PG
LOL. I would be too if I paid good money and was treated to that kind of garbage. I especially like this reply from a Lin fanatic.... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/bgarcia90">@bgarcia90</a> About which play?</p>— Sam Huang (@Sam_Huang_Fan) <a href="https://twitter.com/Sam_Huang_Fan/status/577290954920476672">March 16, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> About which play??? *laugh* have a look at the numbers below. Jeremy Lin with another signature Jeremy Lin performance. 7 points, 0 assists and 4 turnovers.... ...and an obligatory Air Ball. Some of those turnovers were embarrassingly bad. Hawks turned up the defensive intensity and he looked clueless out there. You could tell he wanted no part of the ball. Work on your handles Jerry! On the other end, Denis and Mack were running circles around him. Once again, Lakers were down about 10 points when Jeremy Lin went out. In the absence of Lin, they got it to within 3 points with less than a minute left in the game. I know who I would want to give the minutes to if I wanted to tank. Since The All star break.....

Amusing... but oddly enough according the @LakersReporter on the radio feed there was an assistant coach signalling him they had one to give, so Lin fouled.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Jeremy Lin has got to have one of the worst situational awareness of any player out there. Lin's lack of basketball IQ at display once again. Even worse since he plays the guard position. A Point guard should always be aware of team fouls, penalty, and shot clock situation!!!! Here's a valuable hint for you Jeremy Lin. The scoreboard tells you the Team Foul situation!!!!! Keep an eye on it instead of trying to get the update from your coach sitting across the court with 3 seconds left on the clock! LOL! Even Ed Davis gave Jeremy Lin the dirty look after that mishap by him.
Shroder is better (much better) than Lin. Most people around the NBA will tell you so. Mack is also better than Lin but hasn't been given the burn and the opportunities that Lin has got. He is playing behind Teague and Shroder but given some play time, I can assure you he is better than Lin Heck Price outplayed Lin when given the time and opportunity and so did Clarkson
That is not how it rolls here. We don't demand people not argue against a topic just so fanbois can have their own thread to circlejerk in. If you make a statement about a game or player, you better be prepared to back it up with facts or the guys around here will tear you up just like they have been doing in this thread. All I care about here is that people try to keep it relatively clear of personal insults.
Damn, Lin fans are very influential, they actually got the NBA to change his 4 TOs last night to 3 TOs
