    agreed. Parsons behavior makes me respect Lin's approach. I'm a LOFH but i appreciate that Lin is taking the high road and focusing on his current situation instead of being a d'bag like Parsons and trashing houston/rockets every chance he gets.

    I'm petty, so I peeked at the Lin thread on Lakersground. Last few pages look a lot like game threads used to around here -- tantrums about Bev just jumping around like a wild animal and all. LOL.

    Lin and Boozer going against the script. Wonder how many more players will.

    Clutchfans is no better than a lot of other boards or sports talk radio shows. Where keeping it real means knee jerk reactions.

    I've never seen an athlete be so lost for words during a postgame interview. Didn't he think at all about what the media would ask while he was on the bench? Even his postgame sucks now.

    Not so eloquent for a Harvard graduate.

    Either you are a LOF who refused to live in reality or just pass whatever you were smoking please.

    The Lakers are a tragic laughing stock of the league and their whole roster except Kobe is a complete joke.

    Boozer, Hill, Lin and Johnson are good starters - LOL?!

    No, but I've seen plenty of player interviews and even the most ineloquent folks can answer better than that. He's a Harvard grad that's no stranger to the limelight. It wasn't even a particularly pointed question. What adjustments do you need to make in the upcoming game against the Hawks? Hedo Turkoglu's one word answer of "Ball" would have been better. Lin looks shell shocked.

    Yes, it is Kobe's fault that he has weak handles and coughs it up easily.

    He wasnt going to be able to shoot over Kwahi or Andrea in those instances. Which is why you see him begging for picks on several occasion against Iguodala on that play.

    His handles and reaction to pressure defense are a weakness. That is for sure.

    However, equally weak is people here repeatedly posting a gif of 2 of his turnovers in a game where he played solid. 15/4/4 vs the Spurs and 3 total turnovers is not horrible especially for a "scrub" or "zero worth" player, or whatever else he is called here.

    As for his post-game reaction, watch interviews of any players whose team keeps getting crushed. They are all similar. No one would be chipper and upbeat in that situation. Heck, some guys in this league have and would skip practice or react even worse. That interview is not an indication that Lin is mentally weak.

    His weakness can be summed up in one word; "basketball"
