    how is that relevant though? starving african kids had it harder than michael jackson, no roof over their heads sifting through cow poo for corn, their struggle invalidates mr jacksons struggle

    Change that bait to a stack of cash and you will have an accurate description of this thread.

    tinman is putting out research paper length baits just to hook a few dudes replying in single sentences.

    Lin may be better than Kobe at this point.

    That's not saying much.

    It's funny when ever I argued with my lof friend about jeremy being trash, he'd start with the racism/upbringing card bs. If this is what you have to refer on, to escape criticism then good for you.

    Jeremy Lin isn't trash dude. He reminds me of Clyde Drexler in his prime.

    Both of them have helped the Portland Trailblazers win a playoff series.

    you're right, jeremy lin had it rough, people called him names as a kid

    what you didn't know is that Michael Jackson has an album that describes Lin's point guard skills

    Who said Lin had a hard life? He had a hard and unlikely journey to the NBA which was influenced by racial bias...but no once said he had a hard life, did they?

    Lin's ball handling skills definitely reminds of thriller.

    It's close to over time and a turnover is lurking in the dark
    Under the TNT lights you see a sight that almost stops your heart
    You try to scream but Mo Williams takes the sound before you make it
    Lin starts to freeze as a turnover you see before your eyes,
    You're paralyzed

    'Cause Lin is a playoff killer, on a thriller night
    And no one's gonna save the Rockets when Lin turns over the ball under the lights
    You know Lin's a playoff killer, on a thriller night
    The Rockets are fighting to win, but won't tonight

    You can always count some critical Lin TOs in a close game when he is handling the ball.

    Lakers had the momentum on the comeback and he just ran into defenders and coughed it up.

    For someone who hates Lin, you sure like watching him play. ;)

    But yeah I agree, he messed up their momentum with that TO, and also ran a play for Hill when Kobe had the hot hand (you can see Kobe was mad). Besides that he played well.

    I have had league pass for years now. I watch a lot of teams play. Watching the Lakers in their misery is particularly enjoyable. :)

    Besides those he had a series of really bad defensive errors where Grizzlies extended their lead in the 4th. He is still gambling on defense.

    He was pretty much non-existent in the 4th as far as positive plays for the Lakers are concerned. Not sure how you classify that as a 'played well".

    But that is Jeremy. Up down down down up down down up down down. We dont know which one will show up for the next game.

    Pretty grim final 10 min for Lin... you had to expect it after a good game

    No net positives

    9:56 Jeremy Lin misses 21-foot two point jumper
    9:33 Jeremy Lin personal foul (Mike Conley draws the foul)
    7:28 Jeremy Lin lost ball turnover (Beno Udrih steals)
    6:01 Jeremy Lin misses 26-foot three point jumper
    3:11 Jeremy Lin defensive rebound 95-101
    3:05 Jeremy Lin offensive Charge (Courtney Lee draws the foul) 95-101
    3:05 Jeremy Lin turnover
    1:45 Jeremy Lin shooting foul (Tony Allen draws the foul)

    12 points, 3 assists, 3 TO's, 5 PF all in about 35 minutes while letting Conley go off big time is played well? If that is played well, then Ok....

    Lin can never have a bad game in Lin fans' eyes.
