    If it wasn't because of Lin, he'd for sure have missed it. But you are a troll anyway.

    I'm sure Kobe and Lebron are sitting there with their rings, MVPs, and FMVPs, thinking, "Melo's never missed the playoffs, I can't say that."

    It is pretty clear that he's trolling, so just block him and move on, quoting him doesnt do any good to other clutchfan users.

    Never been a big football fan; baseball is very easy to ignore. Bball is one of the few sports I watch with anything approaching semi-regularity. Even college ball bores me for the most part, even the tournament. Pro bball is pretty much the last bastion.

    But with clowns like Howard and Carmelo, not to mention Kobe's rape case and LeBron's general stupidity, I wonder why I even bother. I find it almost impossible to identify with any of these idiots, much less cheer for them.

    I find that 90% of the time now come playoff time, I simply find someone to root AGAINST, and then cheer for whoever their opposition is. As in, root for OKC instead of the heat, even though to be completly honest, I find Westbrook to be a complete insult to the game of basketball.

    Carmelo may be doing some people a favor; that is by turning them off completely to the sport of basketball, we'll have more time to make money, hang out with friends or do something meaningful rather than to pay attention to these friggin' turds.


    But then here comes JLin7 to pull me back in....

    How could I not bring him up? A selfish player is throwing his teammates under the bus and singing the 'Woe is me!' song. Rocket players/management/fans have had to endure plenty of this with Mcgrady here. That completely warrants the McGrady mention.

    Now someone to say, "Nothing was wrong with McGrady except that he was injured, it happens." is just trolling. We all know that is absolutely not true.

    But I could see why you would get your panties in a bunch being a hardcore McGrady supporter and all.

    Hey! Dont hate on me, hate on the player, your player. He is the one who wrote his own history. I am just here to narrate it. And yes, you are welcome.

    That's how he rolls.. Never been a playmaker, a passer, a quality defender
    What he is.... executer, shooter and rebounder

    And then there are some people who know the game of basketball and want to watch it without bunch of people talking about backup point guard like he is some star.

    Especially when it comes to Lin, the amount of non basketball related things are absurd. Having only played in 64 NBA games (25 as a starter) averaging under 10 points a game for his career, and never playing in a single playoff game, the media has hyped Jeremy Lin as one of the games best point guards, despite not having a single significant achievement to his name. Jeremy Lin only shoots 44% from the field, can't defend and lack point guard skills. Makes you wonder, if the hype around Jeremy Lin is primarily due to his ethnicity, because I don't see much basketball related things.

    Players you mentioned are proven stars and most of them are just as humble as Lin. And that is what sickens me the most. Justifying the hype which marginal, average player is getting.

    Yeah, because Knicks didn't go 18-6 in April when Lin was injured. Other than Lakers they beat only non-playoff teams with Lin.

    I never mentioned non-basketball related things about Lin, something what LOF's is consistently doing.

    lol! nice one

    That said, Melo perception seemed to shift towards negative ever since the trade, when the Knicks didn't get better and the Nuggets didn't get worse.
    Linsanity was just the most obvious expression of that frustration.

    What are you exactly mad about?
    He is a Rocket.... cool story, brah.... if you are a Rocket fan you should embrace him

    He is not exactly Lebron, so it's hard to be his Only Fan when there are better players around

    Career 3.1 assist per game.

    Pathetic.
