Beverley did not have a good game (although he did quite a few TOs out of Price), but Lin did not outshine him despite that. If you switched their boxscores, you would not be able to tell who was the better player, and that is exactly the issue with Lin. Even when Beverley played a bad game, Lin still did not look better than him on the court.
He's hurt alright, I was at the game and they strapped this big heating pad to his back and he headed to the bike while the game was on. I watched the game and glanced at him going at it on that bike like he was practicing for a marathon. I don't know what the purpose of the bike was, but I guess it loosens the back muscle up.
Lin, get some acupuncture therapy. He is Chinese, he should know this well, plus Parsons got it, been doing well...
By the way it's cool watching the players up close, I wsh I could post some pictures. Couldn't stand how they mocked Howard at the Amway Center. Some shouted he was overrated and when their center would score. Some said that's how you play in the post Howard. Was glad to see our guys kick their butts.
Been said a gajillion times: nobody plays with perfect fitness in this league. Somebody always has some issue. The good players play through it. Besides, the mistakes he's committing are just bad, bad, dumbass ball decisions. No type of injury can induce that unless he got Alzheimer's or some brain injury to turn him into a r****d.
blah, blah, you are like a broken record dude, your hate toward Lin is obsessive and pathological, seeing a psychologist will do you good
haha. seriously, who is that guy.. as mentioned by others, he's not nearly as bad as he's shown over the past few weeks, and it doesn't make a whole of sense for him to all of a sudden lose his confidence for no apparent reason, or forget how to play basketball over a short one week all star weekend break. the most logical explanation is he's hurt, and to what extent? who knows but it doesn't help the team to disclose it, especially prior to the deadline when he was being shopped around, and not now either if we're planning to trade him in the summer. if he can't help, he needs to sit. the problem is, he won't sit himself (remember, it was the coaches that sat him last year in the playoffs - the decision to sit or play was taken out of his hands). if he thinks he can play and coaches let him, he will play. it's up to the coaches to decide whether a hobbled lin is able to contribute more than a healthy canaan. they've seen enough in practice - if they really believe that canaan can help more than lin, we would've seen more of him by now.
I am sure nobody is trying to justify Lin turnovers with his injury, since he has been doing the same turnovers since he was first here as a Rocket. But you can't deny that his injury has taken away his explosiveness towards the rim, which is his strength. It also affects his shooting and defense. Let's be reasonable here.
My my my! Captain obvious to the rescue. There's something called an ignore button that we've been given. Clue: It really helps.
To catch a lof. Show a clip of lin making a shot and show a clip of lin missing a shot. if they cheer for both clips then they are lof.
What's the difference between a LOF repeating the same glamour about Lin and people like you who talks about Lin's bad performance and LOF all day? One is delusional, the other is delusional and a hypocrite. I'll let you guess all day which is which.
