relax, I was on this board looooooong before Jeremy Lin showed up. I'm no LOF, throughout the years I loved Bob Sura's tenacity, Shane BAttier's team first attitude, the Chuck Wagon's selflessness etc. The LOF are only responding and bumping the thread as a reaction to pure nonsensical arguments. Take this thread title for instance, Jeremy Lin is a joke?? Is he inconsistent? Does he make you scratch your head? Get you frustrated? YES! Sure he does. But a joke? Come on son.
I tried not to post on this thread ever again... but guys cut it out. All the LOHs, even King1 has given props to Lin at times, and even seems to see Lin's strengths and weaknesses well. It's not that they don't understand, they sees, aren't impressed, and will not give him props, so cut it out. I hate seeing this thread pop up all the time. Please, all the LOFs, do not post on here, do not defend on here, you're making things worse. Stop being over-sensitive and let the man be criticized as he deserves criticism as much as anyone for his underachieving year. STOP POSTING HERE!!
Just as a talking point hey roxxy Did you see the defenders close out on Lin at the 3 point line tonight? I saw it every single time. Guess basketball just doesn't make sense..
how has he underachieved? what did people really expect from a 5 mill pg who started 20 some-odd games in his life?? He's been inconsistent yet, but what exactly did you expect? 16 points 8 assists while playing with a ball dominant 2 guard? If all the people like yourself who go off telling LOF to back off just ignored the LOF then this thread would die on it's own, but everyone wants to get the last word. Dude put in work today, Rockets win by 30+ and people still on here chirping.
The team total turnover is 5, 2 for Asik and 3 for Lin. I take that any time. The joke is on you now!
Reminds me of a few games when the other player left Lin to rot at the corner.....cause they knew he could shoot crap.:grin:
Yes, I expected 16 & 8. Maybe even more. Yes, I do know what those numbers represent. Doesn't matter. I believe in Lin's future. Harden and Lin are gonna be boss in a few years when they enter their ripe old ages of 25 and 26 with years of experience playing off each other. You can book it. Until then, because I like Lin, I would love for this thread to die down and it's gotta start with someone. This will be my last post on this thread, and I hope everyone will kill this thread off, especially the LOFs as it hurts them the most to keep this thread alive. Great game today, btw. Go Rockets!
I honestly wasn't even looking for it simply because the Jazz rank 23rd in the NBA by DRTG & are the worst team at defending spot ups. So yeah probably not the best team to use to argue your point. Anyway I responded to your post earlier.
I'm surprised Jamal Tinsley is still in the league after watching tonights game. Dude seems like he just stands around and brick 3s.
