    WTF, Jeremy? You obviously saw James' arm - it's not like it blended into to the background. The last I want is something for the LOFs (or LOHs) to cheer about.

    Would have been better if he was headless.

    Definitely! If you want to hurt somebody seriously you run your head at full speed into his elbow. This is the way how you usually fight your opponent. Try to break his wrist by headbutting his fist. You can read about this special fighting technique in every decent martial arts training book.

    He obviously saw it with his peripheral vision as he was focusing on Thompson.

    Jeremy Lin and David Lee are friends. Clearly Lee held the arm for Lin to run into and injure. Perfect double team to get Jeremy the starting job.

    I don't care how anyone spins that. It was a straight up a careless play by Lin. He had all day to slow the F down or just drop seeing Harden's arm fully extended out like that. It's not like he just turned and somehow smacked his face into Harden's elbow, this one had a full steam of momentum behind it. Stupid.

    I think they both are racists. They can't stand a black guy dominating the basketball game.

    Ridiculous theory. Obviously what really happened was Lin was trying to give himself head trauma to get psyched up as nobody on GS would oblige and foul him on the head. He clearly plays his best after head injury so this has to be it.

    You can't be serious. Clutchfans reaching a new low. The pendulum swung from one Lin extreme to the other.

    That was all Lin's foul...how can you not see the arm of Harden in your way?? That was stupid. At least duck or something to avoid the arm. This just prove Lin suck at defense because he lacks awareness.

    Maybe it's just me but I see this thread absolutely dripping with sarcasm. Freak accidents happen in sports. I once got tackled by my own linebacker after picking off a pass. Check out Sportcenters "Not top 10" for some other good ones.

    I like how some people think Lin had time to look and intentionally run into Harden's elbow. People...that's slow motion you see in the youtube vid. Keanu Reeves also didn't really dodge bullets.

    Bad accident. Harden was touching Lee. Lee turned when Lin was about to go through, causing Harden's elbow to become a wooden board that Lin's head accidentally karate chopped.

    I have this odd feeling that people who believe that "Lin had all day to move out of the way" have never physically moved at a fast rate their entire lives...or they are being sarcastic.... Hopefully sarcastic because if it's the other reason, it kinda validates the stereotype that Americans are living more sedentary lives as time goes by.

    Harden's elbow didn't have a chance. Lin's head had been strengthened by the repeated abuse from opposing defenders that no one even noticed that Lin's head hit Harden's elbow until Harden started clutching his elbow and shaking his arm.

    If you're keeping score at home: Lin's head 1 Harden's elbow 0 :grin:
