Good to know that Tyler Johnson > Jeremy Lin > James Harden since the allstar break. Morey has some work to do.
Lin had 20+8+6+2stl+1blk in just 30 min... his EFF is 30... What else would you want him to do? Like a Bestbrook-like triple-double?
I hope the Lakers now realize that they must keep jeremy lin and that his fans must realize that they should only post on Lakersground forever
LOLOLOL. Lin hasn't started in a long long time. Not since career journeyman scrub Price took over for him and not since rookie Jordan Clarkson took over the starting PG spot. What the F are you talking about Lin starting against the Celtics? You sound like the typical Lin fan - Delusional, not much NBA knowledge and just making up random stuff and lies to fit your agenda. Lin is what he is - a mediocre to below average back up, not a starter worth his weight in this league. In fact if not for the Price injury or Nash going down, Lin may be 3rd or 4th string PG on one of the worst teams in the league. Let that sink in.
Seriously trolls are gonna troll. I can't think of a single 4th string guard in this league that is capable of over 20 pts a game more than once in a 2 week stretch. Did you only start watching basketball when Lin started playing? Lin's no All Star but he is what he is, a serviceable journeyman with a few strengths who can occasionally have some good games.
I'd rather go by the opinion of Clutch who knows more about basketball than all Lin fans combined. I do agree with you though that Lin will be a serviceable journeyman aka Ronnie Price in this league. However, he is not the All star or close to it that Lin fans make him out to be and it is not because of marginalization, racism, system or whatever nonsense and lies they spout.
Clutch was trolling by speaking the literal truth. If he actually believed that Lin merited being the fourth string pg...well, have you ever listened to the start of his podcast?
Or maybe that continuation of being on the court, helps him to stay in rhythm, which in return helped him perform better. He doesn't look very tired towards the end of the game, maybe he's eating better. Who knows
All due respect to Clutch I think people are allowed to disagree with him here. Have you seen the Knicks pg rotation lately? I am sure Knick fans would gladly take Lin back over Shane Larkin. I truly don't think Lin is a "4th string" pg. If you guys actually do, more power to you. I think traumatic lof experiences of the past on this forum is clouding your collective judgment. Try to be objective and compare Lin to other backup pgs in the league. Sure there are some better but some are worse too.
Clutch has always right about lin. So lin has a decent streak post all star break. Big deal. It's not like it's the playoffs. They are playing crap teams and they aren't winning. It's never been his scoring ability for me, when it's crunch time, he is clueless and reckless
Jeremy did not fit the system Byron Scott was trying to implement at the beginning of the regular season which was to go through Kobe. When they started losing bad, Scott switched it up by starting Price, a complement to Kobe. After Kobe got injured, and the future looked bleak....its was time to develop the rookie, Jeremy was going to be a free agent, so that was the Lakers thinking. Its not the narrative you are trying to smear. For someone who sounds like they follow Jeremy and the Lakers, you should know that. Overreaction much? I get it, you saw and opening and you pounce. Maybe he follows the Rockets not the Lakers, maybe he wanted to see what the fuss was all about in this epic thread so he went to see the highlights from previous Lakers games where Jeremy balled out. From what he saw, Jeremy was starting the 4th, which was were he went Linsane. Yes the poster was wrong. But from that , you go calling him "delusional, typical, lack of NBA knowledge, random stuff"...your reaction is double LOLOLOL LOLOLOL. You want to talk about delusional and lies, just be honest with yourself, show some respect for this forum. Back up with numbers, twist the numbers, don't matter, but just do something to prove that Jeremy is a mediocre to below backup, 3rd 4th string. Jeremy was starting before Price got the elbow injury...let that sink in. Even tinman turned it down a little bit...in fact sounds like he's giving props where props is due. -IMHO
Dude still got it, nice pullup and attack game, good passing when he's not turning the ball over. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SoBjhU9HfNU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
