Jeremy Lin out 2 weeks with grade one knee sprain (UPDATE: Will return vs. Portland)

looks like we're back to the old ways!

some people enjoy watching players jack up a bunch a shots to get their 20. no doubt that in a team like cleveland he could put up that many since he can get to the line.

 

LOHs don't know that Lin's stats this season were better in games where he was a starter for the team then in games where he started off the bench.

 

And Lin fans will ignore...

How many minutes was he getting in games that he started vs games coming off the bench.

How many games did he start where Harden was out?

2 very big factors that can't be overlooked when comparing stats.

Dude he's getting traded, I don't know how obvious it's could be. The Rockets are 1-2 for their last three and are in absolutely "no rush" to get Lin back from a minor knee bruise? Lin has played his last game as a Houston Rocket.

 

Starting - 30.6 min
Off Bench - 29.8 min

Lin started 4 games when Harden was hurt and the last start Lin played 5 minutes.

Maybe, and it'll interesting to see how this plays out and whether it's simply reflective of a coach's current lineup preference.

 

Please stop posting your garbage. The guy has a knee sprain, which is completely different from a bruize. A sprain destabilizes the knee and increases the risk of tearing ligaments.

You might want lin to get traded. But there have been no indications from the F.O. that this is the case. Just because you repeat something a 100 times doesn't make it true.

 

Try bring respectful, guy. Greg Smith has a knee bruise as well and how long has he been out? Lin needs to be healthy and coming back too soon without the proper healing, which is time, nothing else but time, would damage him long term. As long as he's a Rocket, try being respectful and supporting him rather going into your nonsense about how he is injury prone and the other absurd things you post.

 

Ok sprain whatever. You don't see the timing of all this and the nonchalant attitude of the Rockets to Lin's return as obvious that something is up with a trade.

One of our core 4 in Chandler bang might be out tonight and we are 1-2 in out last three games but We are in "no hurry" to get Lin back...

Really. I just hope the package the Rockets get for Lin and Asik is good. I can see both of them going to Atlanta for Milsap and Picks. That would be very nice return.

And for all the LOFs you should be happy he'll probably thrive in the East.

 

First i was Then now

 

Many Lin fans won't mind if Lin gets traded so they don't have to deal with the LOH's from clutchfans.

 

No not whatever. Once again just because you say something a million times does not make it true.

The fact of the matter is that Lin has proven this year that he is integral to the success of this team. His play is important in shoring up the PG spot for our team and the fact that he is getting it done scoring wise is an added bonus.

I don't care about LOH's or LOF's or COF's, I do care that an idiot is spreading misinformation solely due to his bias on a certain player.

 

Look no one hates Lin. Read my posts I have said that Lin probably could be an AllStar THIS year in the East. But he doesn't fit on the Rockets anymore.

We have our core 4 set to build around for the next 3-4 years. Harden, Howard, Beverly and Bang. That's our starting 1-4 or the 3 or 4 years. That nucleus is gonna win us multiple Chips!!

Lin would be better off in somewhere else. He needs time to refocus who he is as a player. Like Coach Mchale has said repeatedly he is not "that guy", Lin had obviously accepte this (see his jovial relationship with Mchale) and needs to make peace with it. Playing in the Easy would help help him do that to find out who he really is.

It's obvious Lin like being around Bang and the rest of the starters and loves a lot of the fellow bench. But the Rockets need to do whats best for the team and if Lin really though about it as much as he likes being friends with Bang and Bev he needs to do what is in his interest. He needs to start like coach Mchale said by accepting who he is.

 

Beverly, Harden, Bang and Howard. Our starting 1-3 and 5 for the next 4 years. We just need a prime power forward like Milsap or even a Gasol and we are a dynasty!!

 

You still didn't address the implications of the Rockets being in "no hurry" to get lin back despite the fact that Parsons might be out the next few games and we are 1-2 for the last 3.

And the fact that the trade season opens for real on the 15th has nothing to do with this attitude?

 

How about you just roll over and die you f'n TROLL

hey stupid, how dumb does dumb do?

 

They are in no hurry to rush him back until he is fully healed, can help the team but won't hurt himself in trying to do so. He's important for the long-term success to the team or if he is traded, someone who can adequately fill his role and that person is not on the team right now. And if you think Beverley is in the core 4 of the Rockets you are living in a fantasy-world. Like him or not, if there is another member of the core 4 it is Jeremy Lin regardless of what delusions go on in your head.

 

Not envisioning the same response from another teams message board after the hoard of fans come over.

I would imagine it won't be any different on any other message board as long as Lin brings along the over the top fans.

 

Yup definitely getting traded with Asik. Will likely be an All Star next year. Can't wait to see what Morey tweets this time.
