    I don't get what MVPs have to do with Jeremy Lin throwing up airball against the Rockets last night

    Did Steph get traded to the Nets?

    Oh, nothing makes a Rockets fan happier than seeing Lin jack up a three pointer when the Rockets have the lead by 1 point

    I'd rather see Lin do it than Steph do it, Steph is a much better 3 point shooter than Lin

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    I own all of you like cheap McGrady Bobbleheads

    A bench player from the Nets jacks up an airball then people start talking about All stars that use to play for the Rockets

    Anyone cheering for Lin to make that 3 must be a Nets fan or a LOF

    Rockets fans were laughing their asses off cause this happens all the time at Toyota Center for Lin

    LOFs aren't horses, Horses are much smarter than a Lin Only Fan.

    This was a piss poor decision by Lin at that point in the game. Once Nene showed strong, he should have angled to his right and made a pass to Lopez, who had the miss match on Beverley. Unfortunately, that probably would've resulted in him miss judging the pass and turning it over.

    With that said, he did give the Nets quite a lift and overall, played a good game.

    Still, glad he is not with the Rockets anymore, both because of his lack of reliability and his insane, zealous fans.

    It's not about the airball. It's about the shot selection. You're down one. You're in the penalty and have been hitting your free throws. The Rockets can't get any stops inside. And you jack up a quick 3-pointer?

    It's the same thing with that Portland series. He gets the rebound late in Game 3 with the Rockets up 3 and tries to go the length of the court for a contested layup instead of using clock and setting up a play. The end result is a blown layup and a wide open 3-pointer for the Blazers at the other end of the floor(which led to overtime). Then in Game 4, he gets the rebound off a miss and the Rockets up 2 with under a minute to go. Instead of calling timeout, he tries to dribble toward the sideline with two defenders riding his ass and winds up turning it over. The end result is a wide open 3-pointer which gives the Blazers the lead(the game did go to overtime, but the Rockets lost).

    Jeremy Lin might be a great guy and he might have gone to Harvard. But he's one of the dumbest crunch time players I've ever seen.

    It was a good shot selection he wouldn't have gotten foul and free throws if he were to drive the lane in the last seconds of game. I remember lebron doing the same thing in the 1st or 2nd game of 2015 finals

    Yes it is, he's racing to jack up that shot like there was 2 seconds on the clock.
    Yes it is, he's racing to be the hero.

    Lin does this with all the teams he plays with



    Look at how much time is on the clock
    Look at the score

    Same ole Lin
