    If I remember correctly, he was saying that he had never played big minutes in NBA before. All of a sudden, he had to play 30+ a game, on top of the condensed schedule, his body was not used to it, that's after initial excitement was over.

    I'm not sure if he was complaining of being tied, or just simply explaining why he was fatigued.

    Seriously, if people are still confused:confused: I THREATEN TO START A NEW THREAT ABOUT THIS:mad: :

    Lin is getting paid $5M this year. But for the sake of salary cap calculation he's counted as $8M+.

    So when you praise/criticize him, please use $5M as your measuring stick.

    If you want to say he's not worth $15M, you have to wait 2 more years. Thank you for your patience ;)

    Exactly!:grin:

    I think Lin should be praised for his ability to find the right open man at the right moment. I don't think there is much doubt about his scoring ability when it's healthy and the team's success would be relying on that.

    LOL, I saw this at the local night markets here all the time. The local muslims like it. Never dare to try it though. BTW, is Omer a muslim?

    Thanks, mirus. Actually muslim needs to pray 5 times a day and eats only "halal"(food prepared according to Islam law) food. The adjustments initially must be quite difficult. I love this guy. But Lamb will have to watch his back playing beside Omer esp. during muslim fasting month. LOL

    he's taking 8.3 mil of salary cap, thus preventing the team from using that space on another 8.3 mil player, so shouldn't we use 8.3 mil as the measuring stick? :p

    anyway, it's pointless to use salaries for comparisons. The league is full of overpaid and underpaid players.
    Lin was brought in to be a solid starter, and that will be his measuring stick. His salary isn't screaming "All Star" either, so if he becomes anywhere close to one, he'll be a massive bargain.

    96.1% of Turkish citizens are muslims, so I think there's a 961% chance :cool:

    Try it, kebabs are good. An easy way to gain some pounds, though, just like any fast food..

    It's clutchfans ... where 2 games makes a trend and 4 games is enough sample size to crucify or crown someone. Except for Jeremy Lin of course ... where 25 games is a string of flukes that we should just ignore.

    Are you crazy! Doner Kebab is delicious! It is like a lamb sandwich, just better.

    Chicken is my favourite, with hummus, chilli and BBQ sauce...mmmmmmm!

    My thinking exactly. During preseason he appears to be over-thinking affecting his aggressiveness and confidence when he can't make the play.
