    I really do think Lin hasn't been getting the foul calls even when he has been mauled because Stern doesn't want controversy of having him in the ASG and therefore is trying to limit his production. I think my theory would be proven right if he starts getting calls again in a week's time when voting is over.

    I hope Lin gets in. He's an inspiration to millions of people and he's actually a genuinely nice guy.

    I hope Lin gets in just to give a meaningless game some drama.

    Lin would probably fake an injury anyway to avoid the controversy.

    I do not know why the hell you want Lin to join the all-star game. He has no flash in his game. Please please please don't let Westbrook get snubbed for Lin. I want to see crazy dunks.

    Because if you don't want to see Jeremy Lin in the All-Star Game, you're not a Rockets fan.

    Coaches decide after players are injured. So, no way Lin gets in without votes.
