    Jeremy Lin probably deserves it, but:

    Dragic was more constant
    Opponents adjusted to Lin, but they couldn't to Dragic
    Lin played only a handful of games before going down

    Ilyasova was already good before, but he couldn't do it constantly, so it was probably just a psichological issue. He played godlike against us in Turkey World Championship and hit all the important 3s.

    Vote as much as you can, let's surpass Lin!

    I hate to say it but I don't want to increase Dragic's free agent value any more. We want to hurt his reputation, not help it.

    don't think it's a curse. If manu had been a kind man and not taken aaron's soul we wouldn't be talking about aaron sucking.

    Goran sustained it for a much longer period. Lin had all the attention because he's in NY and Asian, but he also had the stats to back it up. I just think Goran had better stats for a longer period of time.

    Actually, Dragic only started 27 games vs. Lin's 25.

    Lin's record as starter: 15-10
    Dragic's record as starter: 12-15


    Another thing you have consider is Lin lost his green light for volume shooting, once Melo, Amare, and JR Smith were back into the picture. I doubt Dragic would average much more points or assists than Lin with the Knicks. Lin was on fire, before Melo came back into picture for some reason.

    It's a push.

    Learn the word "consistently". Makes more sense than using constantly like you just did. :cool:

    All I know is it shouldn't be Lin. That was a 2-3 week span when we was doing all that. We're talking the whole season here.

    would people please get off of Lin's ballsack?

    i get it, he's better than we thought, and he's Christian so it adds to the likeable factor.

    but geez, it's like some of you woke up one day and said, "fk it i'm going to start watching basketball. OMG, Lin is good!"

    Dragic IS NOT the most improved player. He has always been good. He just needed the minutes.
