    Almost as delusional about LOFs as LOFs are about Lin.

    The poison has spread to everywhere and everything, into every spectrum of every argument ;)

    You aren't providing anything except worship.

    Never in my life have I heard of the stat: "points on drives per game" until Lin just so happened to be a top the list, now its repeated ad nausea.

    Same thing happened with FG% at the rim. I have never heard anyone try and use this stat to talk up a PG, until it just so happens Lin was at the top of it, so now we get to hear about all the time. Simple defensive metrics like lineup performance - NOPE, SAMPLE SIZE, INJURY, ANTI LIN PLAYS RUN BY MCHALE.

    It's a bunch of sheep trying to find anything and everything which might paint Lin as a rising star who deserves time to develop into said star at the cost of the team. He is just another guy, get over it.

    Didn't exactly have access to that stat before the sportvu data came out.

    Lin has a couple things he is really elite at. He wouldn't be playing in the NBA if he wasn't elite in them, because he also has a list of things needing improvement.

    He did not say anything about letting him develop at the cost of the team... You think that helping Lin get better will be detrimental to the team? I think it's more like helping the team.

    This only proves that Lin is consistently on the microscope....Lin is in a slump this month big deal.....Everyone goes thru this from time to time. He did pretty well for majority of the season so far. Must we do this every year?? Lin does well LOF parading Lin does bad LOH parading.

    And the idiocy continues. The vast, vast majority of PG's can't touch CP3 and this includes Lin. CP3 making Lin look like a scrub is not an insult. Saying Flynn makes Lin look like a scrub WOULD be. Get that through your thick skull. SMH

    Calling anyone a scrub, even if it is a comparison, is an insult.
    And why do you have to talk so aggressive? You got problems man...

    Anyone noticed that Harden's D was brilliant in the last game? I mean WTF man! James Freaking Harden going lock down on the D. If James can do that, I think Lin has a case for starting, it's always been about Harden.

    SportsVU data was only made public this season I believe, but its probably some NBA installed LOF conspiracy just to make him look good


    Really? I've always heard/read that linked with Tony Parker.

    Lin is a good player. He has some good strengths, some glaring weaknesses, hopefully he continues to develop and help this team in whatever capacity McHale chooses, because frankly we need one of him/Harden on the floor, cause otherwise the offense just looks like ass

    While we all know this is an H&H team, I think Jerermy is putting up solid enough numbers this year given his role and such, however Houston is not a great fit for his development because he's not playing as a true pg.
    The fact cannot be denied that he does have a lot of talent and he has already proven that during his Linsanity years. Had he played with players that don't play two guard(James Harden) and point forward(Chandler Parsons).We're the only team where everyone seems to carry the ball up the court aside from Howard lol..
    Harden is an offensive beast and Howard is Howard so we don't wanna change anything with that..Since I'm a Lin fan and a Houston fan for Lin to better develop he needs to go somewhere else, and what we need is a pg either better at moving off the ball and a good spot up shooter like Fisher or a pass first veteran elite pg(Rondo) who's gonna bring their no nonsense talk to Harden and the others to play their true positions. I'm happy to have Bev as a backup PG to bring in that defensive spark which I think he'll do better at then playing starting PG coz so far I'm not seeing any elite defense he's made out to be which was supposed to be the reason why he was started over Lin in the first place.

    I see no reason at all to try and pretend to be civil with LoF's when I want the off this forum. It's apparent they are too stupid to get the hint that this is not a fansite dedicated to Lin.

    I have not insulted you in any other way, but it seems you don't care as long as they are a "LOF". You can continue with your stupidity. Oh and this is not your forum and not your house. You are as much a problem as the "LOF" you have so much problems with. And I won't be wasting any more of my time on you. You are in my ignore list now, so don't waste your time on replying to me. Bye.

    Inconsistent. Weak outside shooter, streaky as he'll, below avg handles, poor help defender, quick first step, ok passer, good player on a bad team, bad player on a good team.

    I swear to god I call his stupid little spin move while driving into nowhere every damn time and so does every opponent. Good lord coach just needs to grab him by the jersey and let him know. Too fundamental of a mistake.
