    In the last game, there was a ball knocked out of bounds and the refs called it Lakers ball. Jeremy jumped up and said, "No!"

    So the refs decided to go to video replay. (btw: isn't it really "digital replay". video... r e a l l y. but I digress)

    In the cfnet game chat, prior to the replay, we are all speculating. I said, when Jeremy goes into full NBA player histrionics like this, he is always correct.

    Then, as you recall, the refs came out of replay and pointed in the Lakers direction. Then more yelling in chat. Stupid refs. They pointed the wrong way.

    Jeremy was once again correct and not faking to fool the refs. He knew he was correct. He's always correct. And the refs should start taking him at his word.

    I love this guy. Potential to be the best PG in Rockets history.

    And he is now going against Westbrook. Don't miss it!

    Buy Tickets People. It's Playoffs against the Best in the West!

    GO ROCKETS!!

    It's better to be fast...because if you're slow then you'll get bit by a werewolf..and then you'll turn into one....and then you'll have to stay in...and you'll have to get shaved...and then you'll say, "raarrr rarrr rarrrrr" which means, "I wish I could go back to a human."


    uhhhhh...what?

    The refs believe Jeremy when he does something like that for the same reason that the Walmart receipt checker never checks my receipts, and the same reason why people prefer to sit next to me on the bus. It's because we're Asian. I'm just putting that out there. Refs are human too, they take the subway like everyone else.

    I definitely feel like Lin gets away with more flops.

    Asian?

    This is one of the most insightful threads I've ever seen on CF.net.

    Lin is a winner whose Knicks teammates got bigger contracts after playing with him.

    I've really grown to like him.What I like is he has heart. He hustles his ass off, he is a guy you can count on to allways give a 100% even if he isn't hitting his shots. Guys like him are not going to silently into the night. They will fight. Look at his career. That pretty much sums him up.

    You mentioned Reason 23. What are your reasons 1 through 22?

    You're fast and you escaped from the werewolves, but you find yourself in an apocalyptic world with long shaggy hair, unwashed clothes with a gun fighting half naked savages.

    Come to the werewolves. It's a better world.

    Didn't work the couple of times he tried to take credit (or debit?) for Greg Smith's foul :)

    It's actually 24, if you count that way. I'm compsci, so everything is index 0 to me. This whole scale of 1 to 10 women thing has never made sense to me. I just never posted "Why I love Jeremy Lin -- Reason 0" for fear of being called a LOH.

    maybe if you would contribute to the website you could get the Search Function capability and find out for yourself.

    Reason 24 - Lin calls perfect timeouts. He's never called a timeout when they didn't have one to be called.
