    I'm convinced 50% of the posters on the GARM are trolls or the same troll making multiple accounts cause they have nothing better to do with their lives...

    Your speculation is as good as anyone else's. Nobody knows, but that was a hard shove and McHale wasn't smiling.

    For playoff state of mind JLin should be playing 4th quarter and any final clutch min....this is extremely cruicial for the sake of the team during playoff time. How is this guy going to develop his composer during pressure time? Mcfail think long term.....not game by game!!!

    More and more 2013 posters pop up that either go to one extreme on the Lin love or the other on Lin hate. It's kind of obvious and hilarious that so many people respond to those posters and taking them seriously.

    it's a players league and McHale is no Popovich. as a coach he doesn't command that respect.

    Mchale is perplexing to me. I can understand the case to ride the hot hand. However it seems like he never gives Lin a chance to lead a unit or trust him at a critical time. He has to know Morey real believes in him considering his salary. And it's not like Mchale has a strong coaching background to lean on.

    Dude have u watched any of the games this year? Lin does more ISO than Harden? 1 on 5? If he did that you know mchale would immediately call timeout and put Lin in handcuffs right?

    Having said that harden should have ISO plays drawn for him especially in late game situations of a close game... But not for like the last 6 minutes of the game!

    You're not a racist, that's harsh, but you are generalizing and presumptuous in call all LOF as Asians. when to you the term LOF is clearly meant as an insult to basketball fans.

    this is lin's brand of basketball ...“When I’m done playing basketball, I want people to think of me a certain way, and that is to play basketball the right way, play as a team, play unselfishly, play hard and then, off the court, to really serve and love other people. That’s where I want to go in terms of the brand.”

    Its already been suggested many times in this thread that Jeremy was just saying what he's supposed to say and is really upset at Coach.

    So how do we know this is real? Can you perhaps submit a guide for the rest of us to follow to identify the quotes and circumstances under which Jeremy should be taken at face value?

    So your opinion is now the official record for what happened? Are you best friends with McHale or Parsons?

    Maybe the coach didn't want to make a big deal out of it. It would not be in his best interest to have problems with another player after what happened with Lowry, Dragic, Budinger and Martin.

    At least we can all agree that Lin said the politically correct thing and didn't make matters worse by going off on the team / coaches.

    I'm ehhh on Lin, I think it is kinda justifiable to play Beverly to an extend. my main buff yesterday was actually not playing Asik. I don't get that, yes he was bricking FTs. but hte Mavs were also in foul trouble, keep going at it and hte Mavs would foul themself out of the game anwyay.

    Yep... only Asians were supporting Lin at MSG during his hey day with the Knicks...:rolleyes:

    While I do agree with some of your comments, you're painting LOFs with a broad brush sir.

    “whatever time I get I just have to keep playing the way I play. ”

    ----------meaning a dispute between Lin and Mcfail on the way he plays.

    Well the Dallas game does show some of the weaknesses of Harden against defense that will lock you down during the playoffs. Agreed that adjustments should have been made, it sucks that the coaching staff is experimenting with the line up with 20 games left... but with the trade of players it is what it is.
