    LOL, we need Lin back to pin it on him for playoff loss again. Howard is too expensive to get back to pin on.

    There is no time that James Harden misses Jeremy Lin more as a teammate than after the game last night and today.

    Last night we all felt what Nets fans have felt all season long.

    Never forget.

    Nets fans missed Jeremy Lin most of the season. They were thrilled when he returned from injury and helped them win more games.

    Talking about Choke Artist. Lin will never win that award over James Soften.

    Why shall there be? Let's troll and choke together, following James Soften's greatness of choking in the PO.

    LOFs are the dumbest creatures on the planet. I think rocks are smarter than them.

    Me too. Nets fans have embraced Lin. They all saw how much better the Nets played when Lin returned from injury.

    "We have enough of a sample size to definitively say that the Brooklyn Nets would’ve been somuch better with a healthy Jeremy Lin. He’s been a literal game-changer since the moment he stepped back on the court after a series of hamstring pulls."

    Played about half of last season's games and Nets still finished with worst league record than the previous year without him. Poor Airemy fans. Now they are fighting simply to get him out of the worst team stigma! Lowered expectations keep getting lowered.

    Good pick-up by nets for a lottery pick.

    However, in a typical Nets fashion, bad timing.

    Do you really not understand that Lin was injured and didn't play in 48 games this season? And the Nets were 6-42 without Lin, 14-22 with him? This translates into 31 wins over 82 games. Not great, but a huge improvement over the previous season.

    Do you really not understand the guy you linked is not a Nets fan, and simply a Nets writer? Poor guy has to try to come up with something nice to write for the worst team in the league.

    Even his own webpage mentions him as fans of several teams, but Nets are not one of them.

    When was the last time you actually came across a Nets fan?

    lulz...

    let me help you out here since it is hard for you to understand what being a fan of a team really means.

    I actually know Nets fans. I live in NYC/Boston area. Like real people that I have gone to Nets games with in the past.

    Believe me when I say that they all cant wait to clean house in a few years. No one is wouldabeen or couldabeen over Airemy.

    Do you understand that NetsDaily is a Nets fan site, and all the comments that followed that article are in complete agreement with what he wrote?

    I am a Nets fan. Have been since 1989, tho stopped when they first moved to Brooklyn (I am a NJ resident and hated Ratner for moving the team out of NJ. Became a fan again when Lin joined the team).

    Understood, and I said that too. But it is a big improvement over last season, and the team is very young. My point for bringing it up was because Zboy was blaming Lin for the losses that piled up when Lin was injured.
