    2nd from left and the two on the right aren't horrible. I wouldn't kick them out of bed if I was single and lonely.. there I said it!

    Most of Lin's fans are actually from El Salvador. Da Nang is a very popular destination there. :confused:

    Ha ha ha... why did Jeremy Lin suddenly have his production tail off? Because Byron Scott asked him to cut back on pick and rolls in favor of Byron's offense, because in pick and roll "everyone is stationary and it is easy to guard."

    Where in the world did you get the revolt thing?

    Personally, I can't imagine why Lin has been having a rough year when playing for a coach who started the year saying 10 3 pointers a game was about the right number, and ended it saying he doesn't like players running the pick and roll.

    Sounds like Lin is manning up. He'll probably actually get more respect from his teammates and coach now.

    ^^^ I actually appreciate Byron Scott for being honest on Lin here . McHail would never tell the reporters what he had thought about his strategy on rotation.

    Not when he openly questions the basic foundation of Byron's offense strategy.

    At this point, there is no other point guards (except that rookie) on Lakers's roster. It won't surprise me that Lakers will get a point guard from D-league and shut down Jeremy for good.

    I honestly don't see the point of letting Jeremy play the rest of the season. There is zero chances that Lakers want Jeremy (and I am sure the feeling is mutual).

    The way he was playing, he might just win some games for them. Why not use these games to develop new players and lose as many games as possible?

    What a one trick pony, he can't do anything else but pick and roll?
    this is no wonder he looks lost and clueless at many points of the game during his stint in Houston and LA.

    I guess I can commend Lin for having the balls to stand up to his coach, but it's not like he's got any real power to do so.

    So BS is basically saying the same thing as McHail once said:

    Lin is a home run hitter, I don't what a home run hitter to start the game.

    I honestly don't know why he is not a better 1 on 1 player. He certainly has the speed and quickness to be one.

    He surely can do it as a SG. He was a combo guard in Harvard. He just prefers PnRs. Ask CP3 if he doesn't need those fxxking PnRs.

    he'll be steve francis with worse handles and doesn't have the ability to dunk on someone.

    I like your signature by the way.

    Short answer: He is not that good.

    Long answer: Uhh...have you looked at his handles?

    His jumper isnt the greatest and he tries to create separation by using his first step. So if the defender backs off a little, he is going to be very well defended.

    Which is also why he looks for a pick to free himself up.

    Lastly. if the defense turns up the pressure, these deficiencies are magnified even more.

    I mean seriously...I cant think of another ordinary player who people keep wondering about.....Just why isnt Jeremy Lin so good?

    Its the same as asking....why isnt Patrick Beverley a good one on one player. Why wasnt Derek Fisher a good one on one player? Why isnt Trevor Ariza a good one on one player?

    We dont because we just accept the plain and simple fact that thats not who they are.

    I’m a player who will take what the defense gives me,” Lin said. “Whatever it is, if they’re giving me the shot, I’m going to shoot it.

    Yes Jeremy, we are well aware of that. You dont have to remind us.
