This. You don't let someone just hold you like that. Yank out of it. Pull a mini-Fisher. Great job by the Ref staring there too.
3 seconds in the paint for Dwight twice, LeBron blatantly holding Lin around a screen, delay of game call twice that I haven't seen all season, phantom technical, LeBron free arm shoving Lin on a drive.... All towards the last few minutes of the game. Hmmmm, 6 point spread in Vegas on this game, the 3 instances in bold where the Heat were awarded free throws all occurred in the waning minutes of the game, Rockets lose by 9 instead of 6. NBA MAKES MONEY
If Lin had a savvy media agent, he should definitely ask Lin to play the race card in post game interviews (eat the fine, its worth it) after blatantly bad refereeing and cheating play like that Lebron holding him on the screen. Americans can't stand to be called racist, and Adam Silver will bend over backward to make sure Lin gets protected .
If Lin had a savvy media agent, they would pay someone else to start hyping the race card. Not Lin himself.
If Lin pulled the race card without proof he looks like a whiny douche which is not what he is all about. Unlike other minorities (backs and latinos) I think Asians don't pull the race card too often in US media. Given the US concern over the impending China superpower, I am not sure an Asian race card has the same effect anyways, since there is so much anti-China rhetoric already in most aspects of American life. Just listen to the haters on this site, would suggest race is a huge factor in the increased scrutiny of Lin. Funny, it was not like that in New York. Maybe Yankees are more tolerant than their southern cousins.
