    Did you guys watch last night's game with Knicks vs LAL? The worse basketball I have seen in a while. As much as Lin sucked, he is still the only playmaker on that team, their entire starting roster have 1 assist in the entire game where Lin had 7 in limited minutes. Their second units have much better flow and movement. I don't think Byron Scott is putting the best units out their to compete, which makes me think that his intention is not to win but to tank.

    he fell off so hard
    from linsanity to a bench scrub
    and hes super timid and soft he wont survive in the NBA
    he is not made for this kind of competition hes more of a 9-5 guy
    in this league if you dont want it you dont deserve it
    if you dont work on your game your gone
    Yao was about the only asian who had some success in the NBA

    You have a point with counting stats. Not his shooting percentages. And honestly normalize his stats per 36 and you don't see much improvement.

    Wow, the NY POST, the very people who made Jeremy Lin the media sensation

    http://nypost.com/2015/02/01/no-trace-of-linsanity-as-former-knicks-phenom-visits-with-lakers/

    No trace of Linsanity as former Knicks phenom visits with Lakers

    There was a time when Jeremy Lin and “Linsanity” ruled the Garden and captivated the city, if not the nation.
    Yeah, well, Sunday was nothing like that.
    Lin played 24 minutes, scored four points and added seven assists for the Lakers who fell to 13-35 after being easily dispatched, 92-80, by the Knicks, his old team.

    Athleticism on par with CF.net neckbeards saying things like Lin is more suited for a 9-5 job. Coming from a random internet poster. LOL!!!

    "he is not made for this kind of competition hes more of a 9-5 guy "

    Spoken like a former professional athlete!

    Lol at Shroopy white knighting Airemy yet again.

    Rarely will you see an adult (and I use that term loosely in his case) be so emotionally invested in a professional athlete.

    Lol, the jealousy of the inferior posters to the mega lords of clutchfans like DD. 99ers rule your world .

    You guys are playing rep flag football and you can't catch DD.

    You guys need to shut up and finish the yard work on DD's house.

    Go wash his Bentley Continental too

    I think he might be best suited for the graveyard shift at the local Carl's Jr. That's if he can even get the fries into the basket. :p

    :p

    But seriously, unless there is conspiracy on a grand scale, guys play LESS minutes because they stink more than they used to.
