    Just a point RE: Lins defense

    It's very clear to see why he struggles a defensively when you compare his lateral footspeed with that of Dellavadova.

    Good defense is often as simple as simple shuffling and staying in front of your man, cutting them off and then making them take a contested shot. Thats quite literally all it is.

    Lin simply is a bit of a plodder for a guard when it comes to lateral movement, thats why we've seen him often do a bit better than expected when he gets switched onto slightly bigger guys who aren't necessarily as fleet of foot.

    All season long, Lin worshipers said Jordan Clarkson is a ball hog and Lin is the better player.

    Clarkson 95.4%, Lin 24.4%


    All season long, Lin worshipers said Jeremy Lin got benched for Ronnie price because Lakers are tanking.

    Price 49.2%, Lin 24.4%


    All season long, Lin worshipers said that Lin was the second best player on the Lakers team.

    Number of players ahead of Lin on this poll? 13!!!!!

    If we go for a 3rd star like Love/Aldridge I would not expect us to have any of those picks (or even Capela perhaps).

    Morey would have to find the cheapest options available to fill needs and Morey loves bringing back players even if they were failed projects (I mean, we brought back freaking Joey Dorsey, and I hate Dorsey more than Lin).

    Another back up PG who's also a minority and was overlooked in the draft, except Delly plays fearless on the biggest stage.

    This is over analysis. Even those Lin fans who happened to be Lakers fans wouldn't want Lin to stay.

    Its not over analysis.

    Its a simple poll that says, "Get that scrub out of my Lakers team!"

    Fans of one of the worst teams in the league do not think he has any place on their team.

    Let that sink in.

    Way better but he won't be cheap. And I have no idea why he'd leave LeBron's side. LeBron turned him into a damn celebrity at this point.

    To be fair, other than the racist taunts in college, Lin being Asian most likely cost him a scholarship and being drafted, there's no denying that, he was a great high school and college player.

    In your small mind, Australians are a race. uufff... tough one.

    You are becoming a joke if not already there. Slowly Rockets fans are distancing themselves from you. At least you are still a 99er right?

    You could pretend all you want that you think could think like me, but we know you are lin fanatic pretending to be a casual fan.
    99% of your posts are on this thread.

    And your remark about Australians
    Shows that you want it to be about race.

    Dellnova has actually played well in the playoffs, which lin never did.

    You and blueshampoo are the same, only he doesn't pretend.

    Another guard that has surpassed Jeremy Lin.

    Jeremy Lin's stock keeps plummeting.

    Also, you will have to forgive danang. We have already established that he is not the smartest cookie around. The Lin fanatics......Aussie....racism sarcastic comment was a little hard one for him to process.
