    Hey your username just reminded me of something...

    Von Wafer had his own Linsanity type thing over the course of the 09 season.

    Where is he now? The same place Lin will probably be sooner or later if he doesn't fix his ****.

    I actually really liked Wafer. He was a true Rocket and instrumental in helping us secure good playoff position when our team was crumbling around us. If not for his contribution mid-season, we may not have had the chance to make it past the first round in 09.

    Waaaaaaaaaambulance, some call them, because we got a cry baby on the forums.

    Tell me when any of these players can bring in fans to the game like Lin does. I guess you wouldn't take J Holiday because he's tuneover prone as well.

    Among all NBA point guards, Lin is in the in the top 20 among points (19th), assists (15th), steals (3rd), and rebounds (7th) while having to share the point guard duties with 3 other players (Douglas , Harden, and recently Beverly).

    Jeremy is only 3 points off the top 10 PG in terms of points with 3 less attempts, 1 assist, .5 rebounds, and .6 steals. He's only 4% away from from being Top 10 in shooting FG % as well. He would be top 10 in assist if Asik could learn to dunk 3 of his passes or learn to catch. 2 of his turnovers are probably because of Asik as well.

    And when given the keys to the team, he scores 38 points or goes Linsanity in New York. Oh yeah, he's 24 years old, with only 75 starts. But no, he sucks. He doesn't have potential. LMAO @ the delusional LOH's.

    What do the LOH haters have to say? I'm not a LOF, but obvious is obvious. LOH don't look at stats spout BS stuff.

    Waiting to see stats from LOH's on why Lin is the worst PG. Oh wait....

    The only difference is Houston mistakenly gave Lin a guarenteed contract for 3 years. They wern't stupid enough to offer Wafer one.

    It feels like we're forced to play Lin.

    You probably didn't even know who Von Wafer was until I just posted that.

    Run along and let the big boys talk please.

    One of the best summary of the key factors for Lin's success during the Linsanity period.

    Just like to add a point:

    Lin has an exceptionally and deceivingly quick first step. He was able to slip through very narrow slots to the rim. If he couldn't get through, he would usually be able to draw a foul just like Harden is doing now. He seems to have lost that ability now, but I hope he would get it back soon.

    My guess is you know very little about basketball.

    You responded by simply asking for stats to paint the argument.

    looked them up trying to prove your point.

    Proved that not only you were an idiot, but one of the idiots that uses stats to misrepresent something.

    Von Wafer was instrumental in the 09 season and the playoffs vs the blazers.

    The dude had an insane stretch where even Kobe was like wtf when we played the lakers.

    That being said, I think Lin is currently a bad player with the potential to be a great one. People that think he is good right now are delusional.

    You know what, I'm actually starting to feel like we're back in the McGrady situation again with having to wait for your supposed star to show up. Except Lin is < Tracy and has a horde of fans who grew up in Mordor.

    I see on the forum, that it said he posted. I have no idea what he posted, since he's been ignored. I"m guessing he probably trying to bring up Von Wafer. Since he's lazy and probably didn't post anything of useful info I will. Because I will own his tiny little bun.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/2793/year/2009/von-wafer

    Friday 1/2 to Sunday 1/25 is probably what the bra was talking about. Wafer average 16 points and 2.2 assists during that Vonsanity stretch of 12 games.

    LOL and this guy trying to compare Von Wafer to Lin because he heard it over at Real GM forums.

    Jeremy Lin over a 12 game stretch of Linsanity Average 20 Points, and 7 Assists.

    OWNED. Lin > Wafer

    Jeremy Lin single handedly saved the Knicks season. As for Playoffs, who knows. Jeremy never played in one. Maybe we'll see this year.

    I'm not sure this feels entirely like that. TOF's were more or less made up by tinman. LOF's are quite real.

    At least 2 to 4 of Feldon's assists per game come from alley oops or bounce passing to Chandler for dunks.

    I hope Asik, Smith, Patterson, DMo and Morris could soon develop their dunking skill. A lot of the layups that were missed recently would have got in if they would just dunk it.

    Why the perpetual need to compare Lin's achievements to every name brought up? We're talking about Von Wafer not getting paid after his tear because management saw he was overachieving.

    I can understand TOF because he was like a two time scoring champ, every super star has a cult like mindless fan following, LOF's on the other hand, iunno don't really have anything to backup their mindless fanboyism so it gets annoying.

    Wafer was a high energy bench player for sure and Lin's short stint with the Knicks was better but that doesn't mean he is entitled to be seen as that player when he has done none of that here.

    Aaron Brooks with the rockets 08-09 and 09-10 was FAR better than Lin. He (apart from Yao) was the reason the Rockets were able to beat the blazers in the playoffs and take LA (went to win the championship) to 7 games even after Yao got injured.

    Flip Murray is a better comparison, I like the Aaron Brooks one too.


    Anyways, Jeremy Lin has zero confidence, because he has very limited basketball ability. The two go hand in hand. No matter how many 5-20 games Harden has, he still goes hard and carries us in other ways. Jeremy Lin becomes a passive, dissappearing act.

    The most special thing about Lowry was how he could change a game when his shot was off. He could will himself to the free throw line to get a couple buckets. I was hoping we would see the same from Jeremy Lin, but everything I have seen this season = PREDICTABLE.

    He is better than this, but by how much? Hopefully significantly, or we are in for a long second half of the season.
