    well yeah....because it's a stupid thing to do :rolleyes:

    As for Scott is he really this bad? Why are his strategies so out of date? I think he's tanking, I don't remember NO being this much of a mess.

    CP3 is no where near as dependent on the PnR as Lin. CP3 has one of the best mid-range jump shots in the game.

    Plus he can keep a dribble when bodied up.

    New starting line up it seems and Lin still on the bench for one of the worst teams in the league

    And yet the dumb, delusional Lin fans thought being benched for a playoff team like the Rockets was racism, marginalization etc.

    Lakers' Jeremy Lin gets overshadowed in Jordan Clarkson's rise

    Jeremy Lin won't say it directly, and neither will the Lakers, but the next 5 1/2 weeks seem like the final ones they'll be together.

    The point guard writing is on the Lakers' wall, and Jordan Clarkson is holding the piece of chalk.

    Lin wants a larger role than he has now, nothing he'll admit publicly, and he's been playing well enough to earn a solid chance with another team.

    Friday was his first step backward in quite a while, a four-point, three-assist clunker against Memphis and an exception to the previous seven games in which he averaged 17.1 points and six assists.


    Unfortunately for Lin, Clarkson's rise has overshadowed him and the rookie is on the books for a relatively low $845,059 next season, making the Lakers unsure they want to spend big money on a free-agent point guard this summer.

    That can still change, especially if they hear a fair offer for a top-tier point guard from an agent they can't refuse, but the market has slimmed down with Goran Dragic possibly finding a new long-term home in Miami and Rajon Rondo stumbling a bit in Dallas.

    What probably won't change is Lin on the way out, looking for a new start with someone else.


    "I'm not going to answer any of those free agency questions until after the season. I'll discuss that later," Lin said diplomatically after totaling three blocked shots and two steals against Memphis, part of an improved defensive effort for the 26-year-old.

    Jordan Clarkson has been playing well, especially as a rookie. Cant just yank him out of the lineup for no reason. Jeremy Lin gets yanked because he starts sucking.

    Same old story for Jeremy Lin.

    Gets replaced by a no name named Patrick Beverley and could not outplay him.

    Gets replaced by a no name named Jordan Clarkson and cant outplay him.

    Even Jeremy Lin acknowledges the rookie's impressive shooting against a tough defense of Grizzlies that he himself could not unlock.

    Lakers are playing Mavs tonight. Their interior defense sucks. Good opportunity for Lin to stat pad tonight.

    Did you notice that every compliment the announcers give Lin ends with "after the All-Star break"?

    "Jeremy Lin has been great at not turning the ball over... After the All-Star break."

    Sorry gentlemen. Looks like I spoke too soon. I am only human and thus prone to mistakes as well.

    Jeremy Lin: 1-6 from the field and some terrible decision making especially in the 3rd quarter.

    Before the usual suspects come in to claim that Jeremy Lin was restricted in running the pick and roll, let me just stop you right there before you embarrass yourself.

    Lin attempted plenty of Pick and rolls in 3rd and 4th quarter. If you watched the game, you would have also seen that Jeremy Lin still has the same issues.

    As soon as Mavs decided to trap him right out of the pick, he started to throw ill advised passes across the court. Back to back turnovers. Could have easily been three turnovers in a row of similar fashion, had a random Laker not come in to intercept it.

    Sorry. No one was holding Jeremy Lin back except his own play and his terrible decision making.

    Turn up the pressure and he coughs it up which is why him stat padding for a few games against some really bad teams did not impress me.

    NEXT.

    Looks like the roaches have crawled back into their holes.....

    Good game from Lin. 5 assists in 23min, solid defense, was aggressive, went to the line 6 times. But as we all know all Lin virgins like Zboy is gonna talk about 1/6 lol. 50% from the field since All star who cares about 1 night of bad shooting. Zboy must still be burning inside cuz he can't prevent Lin from succeeding.

    Proud of 5 Assists when they came with 3 turnovers.

    Proud of solid defense when getting burned by his man.

    Claims 50% shooting since ASG when a quick and dirty math will show you its actually 46%.

    "1 night of bad shooting 1-6" when he is coming of of previous night of 1-5 shooting.

    Uhhh....I guess....you could call 1-5 an improvement by Lin's standards. *laugh*

    Another episode of Brutal FACT CHECK and another not so surprising repeat of mig0s being proven a LIAR.

    lolll Zboy knows Lin's exact FG%, i'm impressed. I like how you can finally come out here and say something after 10 good games. You must've been dying instead and I can see you jump out of joy every time he misses. When is your next vacation? Your kids can't wait

    Fact Check Round II.

    Good games by Lin after All-Star game = 6 (with a clunker in between against the Jazz)

    6 does not in any shape or form equal 10.

    mig0s got caught lying. Again.

    Zboy is embarrassing you.

    Like Lin embarrasses himself.

    That's how bad it's looking for you.

    No one is embarrassing me and no one likes Zboy except for you and Tinman. When someone spends his vacations on bashing a basketball player instead of spending time with his kids, anything that comes from him is irrelevant.

    Zboy keep going you're doing great

    Your obsession with tinman and ZBoy have passed into creepy stage. You're embarrassing yourself.
