    The important thing is whether Lin is an impact player that helps the team actually win games, not a stat line that looks pretty. I have strong doubts as to whether this will be the case.

    Wow. That's all Lin is, an impact player. Coincidentally, Hollinger posted a piece saying that its highly unlikely that Lin will be a "bust" as he does too many of the little things that lead to wins to not be a net positive on any team.

    And once again.... Why are you so doubtful???????
    I'll bet dollars to donuts that you have not seen him play in NY, save highlights and the odd 1 game, if that. I can't imagine anyone saying that he isn't an impact player after watching even a couple of his games. The difference when he sits and doesn't sit is night and day.

    Works for me. It truly is fascinating.

    IIRC Clutch himself said Lin was a "human Rorschach test".

    LOF - we got to not go overboard now - lets wait for the game and see what happens - SWAG talk needs to backed up.

    Yeah but Irving is a PG and has to handle the ball lot. Also, he is only in his second year as a starter, he is sure to get better. Plus, Irving is only making about 5 1/2 million this year
    :rolleyes:

    She is doing well, 3 more months of chemotherapy before we get more MRI results to see how well the treatments are working.

    She was shocked to hear that Kevin Martin wasn't going to be playing with The Rockets anymore, but I introduced her to James Harden and she is happy that he wears my number #13 and she loves his Footlocker 'tear away beard' commercial.

    This is Tayleesha showing the rest of the family who James Harden is...

    If Asik is most likely to be the MIP, shouldn't he be the captain of the all breakout team? And I thought Lin already had a breakout season in NY.
