    I didnt see the first game, but based on this game alone, Lin made the most of his minutes. Definately outplayed Flynn. Flynn was a ball stopper. Horrible to watch. I'm not Chinese BTW.

    No he didn't. He dribbles without purpose. It's like the worst thing you can do imo. It's not even about Jeremy Lin. Flynn flat out didn't do well today, sure he had some flashes on fast breaks, but on half court offense, he literally dribbled mindlessly 90% of the time, bricked some layups and made dumb turnovers.

    Not to mention he plays outside of the offense. Everyone is just watching him since he won't pass.

    He had one turnover to 6 assist. You cant have a +12 (best on the team) and have a bad game. We made our comeback with him and Lin on the floor.

    Who started the comeback? That +12 means absolutely nothing, I'm guessing you didn't watch and just checked the stat line.

    I also count chucking up impossible shots as turnovers as well. :p
    Flynn's shot selection is just incredibly bad.

    He had a +12 because he was in there when Morris went bananas. We didnt play better because of Flynn. The offense sputtered everytime he touched the ball in the half court offense. It was so obvious to see as soon as Lowry left and Flynn came in. Were you Flynn lovers even watching?

    Rafer Alston ran that offense perfectly, without Alston the Rockets were lost on offense. Example game 1 and 2 of the 2008 playoffs versus the Jazz.

    everyone wants lin over flynn over a little burst at the end of one preseason game. lin couldnt even make it at gs. Flynn was the starting pg at Minnesota his rookie year until his surgery last year. it would be nice to have more preseason games to see more of lin, but we dont get that this season.

    we cant choose lin over flynn after a single preseason game. flynn is the proven player and we wont see much of him anyway since he "should" be the third string pg.

    Lin's shown he deserves to be in this league -- before anyone b****es about this, I am in no way basing this off of tonight -- I can't say the same for Flynn.

    He's been **** since he was drafted. Good kid, but ****ty PG.

    Where did these Flynn defenders even come from? I know Glen Rice just hates Asians that's why he's loving Flynn, but seriously how can anyone that watched the game say Flynn did well when all he did was dribble around the arc on almost every half court possession.
