    But what about "fit" and "glue"? It is that sort of abstract, metaphoric terminology that separates the fanboys from the real fans.

    Umm mate, didn't you get the memo? Lin is crap

    I mean he's shooting only 50% from the field, 39% from range, 15 PPG,

    THERE IS NO FKN WAY LIN WOULD HELP OUR UNDERMANNED/INJURED TEAM AT ALL. We beat the Spurs without him, do you hear that? SPURS

    Lin hasn't even contributed to wins this season at all. Remember the Tor- I mean Dallas game? He was so bad there. 17 mins cost us everything. We needed to beat Dirk. Dirk is everything. Dirk is lyfe.

    Whenever people tell me to "Go back to X - country", I tell them to crawl back into their mom's uterus where they belong, and ask mommy "Can you please get me an abortion."

    Lin is ethnically Chinese. He has called himself Chinese. He is also Taiwanese, and he is also American.

    As you state, Lin 15 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 4.6 apg in 30.1 mpg
    .501/.390/.805

    Last five games, PB/AB 10.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 3.7 apg in 30.2 mpg (approx.)
    .398/.418/.818

    Yes but being Chinese does not mean China. Just like being "African American" doesn't mean you're from Africa. Or being "white/Caucasian" doesn't mean you're from Europe.

    He's not Chinese. He's American. When he calls himself "Chinese" as you state he's doing so ethnically, just like someone would call themselves Polish or Irish even though they may never have set foot in Poland or Ireland.

    Racists gonna racist.

    Just calling this out for the benefit of those who might think this kind of comment is OK. It's not. "Go back to China," is a purely racist comment, and has no place anywhere here.

    I don't care if you don't like a player or you don't like his fans. You don't see guys around here saying crap like, "Harden fits the team best with his ass back in Africa."

    YEAH EXACTLY!

    THIS IS MY POINT!

    LIN IS BARELY BETTER THAN TWO PLAYERS COMBINED, extra 5 PPG!!!!!!

    I hope people realise sarcasm when they see it.

    People are seriously misinterpreting Langal LOL

    Lol at all the Lin fans getting their panties in a bunch because they can't tell apart sarcasm from opinion.

    Langal was being sarcastic.

    In which case if you're actually Chinese, you consider him Chinese.

    I've learned to just not log on to clutchfans after a loss. The idiotic and crazy fans go ballistic. not just lin fans, but everyone freaks out like its the end of the world and we just lost the last game we needed to get into the playoffs.

    Most people are being sarcastic here, but e-sarcasm does not translate well.

    You should get your ass back to whatever country your ancestors came from, unless you are native American Indian. America doesn't need you and your bigotry. And GARM flows better when you are not here.
