    Yes, because the Lakers with Kobe, Nash, Howard, and Gasol won the 2013 NBA championship. Yes you cannot only predict the past, but the past and future mixed in with the present. LOL

    This is why I think bringing him off the bench is beneficial to him and the team. He gets to be that first option on a relatively mediocre bench (Casspi, Dmo, Garcia, Brooks etc.). He has the potential to greatly increase the bench production but for whatever reason, he isn't being as aggressive as he needs to and hopefully, he gets out of his slump soon

    I said prime Steve Nash champ. Lin couldn't even hold his jockstrap.

    Lin fans vs. Rockets fans.

    For the record there is a difference between becoming a Rockets fans because of a player and following a player from team to team.

    I'm confused. Who the heck drinks tapioca? It's that thing in pudding, right? Maybe I need to do some Googling.

    Why would I care? Unless you're playing basketball on the NBA court, I don't ever want to see you.

    I came here to root for the Rockets. Then I met the Tinman. It's hard to root for the Rockets, when the first fan you meet is Tinman.

    Shoulda stopped while you were ahead. Perspire does rhyme with aspire, so you're elementary school poetry teacher would be impressed.

    I became a fan because they were on TV when I watched my first basketball game back in '03.

    Yeah I completely agree. I just flat out disagree with Vlaurelio's assumption that Lin's breakout was a mere fluke, Lin has played what, 15-20 games without a Carmelo Anthony/James Harden and performed well, albeit with the weaknesses, turnovers etc.

    Now if Clutch's article which uses 14 to 17 games worth of performance to justify Beverley starting, thats fine and I agree with the current setup, but to sit here and say that is sufficient statistical evidence and then discount Lin's 15-20 games as a number one option as a fluke is frankly the height of hypocrisy irrespective of how people view his fans.

    You are talking out of your ass. Harden, Howard and Parsons are better than Lin. The offense is perfect for Jeremy Lin lol, run and gun. PnR, read and react.

    You don't care about being a successful team, you would rather Lin be on a sub-par .500 team where he is the sole guy.

    Lin should be traded for 1 reason, so irritating fans like you can buzz off.

    If everyone, you mean Asian people.


    For the record, I don't drink it.
