    Just like how we had our 7 game or so streak was just because of lin also right? :rolleyes:

    get out of here troll. just stirring up mess. Lin is not a key to our success, he helps yes. but we could do just fine without him.

    have you seen the spur of bashing lin right after he made two TOs in a row on this board?

    denying won't help anything but call for more reactions.

    In those games that we have won Harden still has a higher USG% than Lin. Of course in the Utah game, those two weren't the highest since they only had to play half the game and in the game they lost Douglas had the highest USG% and then it was Lin. I'm still seeing harden get the ball more during these games.

    I have the impression that Mchale likes to substitute Lin and Asik out simutaneously. Is it just me?

    I think it was mainly ppat that saved us, sure harden helped but ppat was the one that scored those 14 points when we were ice cold. (I guess ppat saved us and ppat/harden carried the team, so you were right)

    Oh. I did not see that. I guess we have to accept that. It's normal when it is in the game. Anyway, it has NO impact on how Lin plays. We need to be less sensitive to have a good discussion.

    This board bashes players indiscriminately, but when it is Lin that gets bashed his fanboiis rush in to save their hero.

    At least be consistent and do it for all the guys. Oh wait then they wouldn't be LOFs..

    I guess you haven't read all my posts - I don't talk about nothing but Jeremy Lin. I'm trying to have an objective discussion. Let me know who else can run the offense besides Lin - I really don't see anyone - even Harden has not been effective. Just look at the record.

    I've also talked about Asik and Patterson. I think both don't get enough PT. I mostly talk about McHale actually who seems to have opinions that are not backed up by the facts.

    just coz momentum, are you going to play a guy the whole 48 min?. since we were leading a quite bit, why not give him a break and bring in the bench?

    Not indiscriminately, I noticed Lin got bashed a lot more than Parsons or Harden when he had a bad play, there were many many posts of Lin bashing earlier.

    I agree that it wasn't all bad; we played an excellent 1st quarter. Parson's, Pat, Asik, and Lin continue to improve with each game together. For some reason, Douglas really frustrated me tonight. Would have liked to see a little Beverly.

    It's the consistency that we lack; that and defense. I need to see more defensive effort from Harden, and as good as Lin is forcing turnovers, he just can't stay with quick guards.

    That's false. The hate Parsons/Harden/Delfino/Asik gets for their TO's/mistakes is less than Lin's. No one gets talked about more than Lin, it comes from BOTH SIDES. You don't have to respond to the Lin supporters, but you do, you're not helping the cause either.

    The hate and love for the kid is excessive.

    Show statistical evidence about your claims and people might believe you. Otherwise there will be the same old "you're an LOF defending Lin" stuff.

    (not trying to sound rude, just giving tips I guess)

    TG is all about his confidence. lin is all about his passiveness.
