    They come from one of the Lin fan sites. It is where the seriously deluded congregate. The Hornets sites have been slowly filtering those people away.

    The regular Hornets sites seem pretty thrilled to have him as their backup PG. Apparently a huge upgrade from last year, and they are used to streaky shooting from their years of experience with Kemba.

    I wish we could get him as a coach. Sucks that the Hornets woke up and signed him to an extension. He's pretty amazing at putting his players in positions to succeed, and has Lin playing above average defense at this point. The Hornets are looking pretty good right now.

    Sadly I wish the Rockets could play as well as the Hornets. And Lawson and Beverley could play as well as Lin...

    Did some lurking. The entire Charlotte fanbase seems to be extremely happy w/ Lin. Quite a contrast from his stay w/ Lakers/Rockets.

    Contract probably has something to do with it.

    We'd have much better memories of Lin as well if the bbs didn't get polluted. That's one noticed right away with the way reddit talks about him.

    Contract and expectations. He was never expected to be more than a spark off the bech.

    Lakers fans hate everyone except Kobe. Look how they're treating DeAngelo

    Give it time for the LOFs to screw over the Hornets board

    If Charlotte makes the playoffs, the Jeremy Lin turnover machine will be back with more Mo Williams like highlights

    Probably.

    I personally don't think you should let rabid fanboys skew you're evaluation of a player, but I understand that it happens.

    As I acknowledged before, there will always be exrtemist...and you will go crazy if you decide that these represent the majority. I will never claim to represent the extremists' POV...

    Good teammate and contributing to wins are probably other reasons.

    Batum is more turnover-prone...

    Batum is not a point guard and a much better player than lin.

    Allen iverson had lots of turnovers and he won mvp one year

    Lin had a good game tonight. Still, the Hornets lost.

    Really Lin should have closed out the game instead of Lamb. Lin came out of the lineup and all of a sudden J.R. Smith and Delladova started lighting it up. Prior to that Lin had shut those guys down defensively. Lamb is a good player, and is long, but he's not quick enough to stay on guys like Delladova, Smith, Redick, etc. Lamb is really a 3 not a 2. Also Lamb's shots were falling tonight.
