    If i'm not mistaken, didn't Clutch say he likes to keep threads like these open longer than he should, "just to draw out the rats."

    I might be misremembering that though.

    Also these last few days really show what an asset J.R. is to this board.

    That's because MCW isn't getting paid over $8 million a year and is still a rookie. If Lin was earning the same salary level as Nate Robinson like he should and not poisoning the team with his bloated contract then people would be complaining less.

    No, they wouldn't. This isn't even about money.

    Not going to happen. Even when Lin was making $500k/year, Knicks fans were still blaming him for not playing with an injury in the playoffs. Realistically, Lin is the perfect escape goat.

    Is it just me or does Harden always seem to overreact with injuries. Seems like he doesn't have a high threshold for pain...

    Why is Harden refusing the MRI? Is he afraid of magnets?

    Lin can't hold the Beard down.

    Rub some stripper booty on it and he'll be fine

    or, the injury was never actually serious.

    Well, one could also argue that because Harden has a high threshold for pain, he is able to play through injuries.

    It's not the first time Harden has been diagnosed with an injury which he proceeded to play through, the most recent being the high ankle sprain.
