    x 2. Let's start the Vipers to see if Morey's experiment of super fast up-tempo Vipers bb can beat Pelican's NBA regulars. If it works, perhaps try them against the Spurs assuming we get to play them next round, to see if the super fast young guns of Vipers can grind out the old bones of the Spurs. ;) :grin:

    This. Not that I have anything against one more "Lin is a scrub/is great" thread to rally the posters for the dull few days until the playoffs start.

    I'd be bored to see our starters playing a game with no stakes on the line, but it'll be exciting to see young players compete.

    6 - Jones
    10 - Lin

    If Lin was out on a bike with a pack on his back, wouldn't it be a heat pack instead of an ice pack?

    Pretty sure players use heat to keep their body parts loose during games and uses ice to reduce swelling after the games.

    Someone said Lin dislocated his left thumb last game. Was that true or it was just a jam?

    Parsons and Harden finally get some rest? The only difference between playing them heavy minutes to flogging a dead horse is that they are not dead yet. They get flogged by McHale in every game!

    Alright Lets go Vipers!

    I hope Lin comes back strong. He missed his last two playoff experience in NYC and Houston, who knows how far we would've gone with him in.

    I agree. I think at least Beverly should sit this one out.

    Oh I don't know man. Basically you can see him with a hump on his back when he's on the bike because something is under his shirt. This was shown on one of those random Lin pictures from fans through that Penny Lee Lin stalker twitter account.

    What to watch for tonight in NOLA: Troy Daniels. Coaches plan on giving him serious consideration for playoff rotation spot.

    Smart move! We wouldn't want to hurt Lin's trade value, don't we?

    You use heat packs for muscle spams/injuries. At least that what I am using currently per my doctor.

    Raymond Felton doesn't practice that philosophy.
