i have a feeling this is all for naught and beverley will get his meniscus trimmed with a return in time for the playoffs.
Sadly, I see a lose lose situation for lin. If he plays bad, everyone will blame him. If he plays great and scoring a ton, that usually means hardin is crazy cold and the Rockets would probably lose despite a great game by Lin. The best thing he can do is play how's he's been playing the past two months.
If he had the balls that people say he does he would. Maybe he doesn't want to be owned by Westbrook again.
This poll is either a jinx, or an anti-jinx. Or both. Or neither... I don't know anymore. All I know is that the next couple of days... GARM is gonna go berserk.
LOL, the only thing I know there is no in between. Any 1 bad play in the 4th quarter will make him responsible for a loss. A dumb foul by Bev would be chalked up to overzealous defense. A dumb foul by Lin would be interpreted as a bonehead play. The bottom line is even if Lillard outplays Lin, if D12 and Harden do their thing the Rocket should still pull it out. It's LMA that should be the bigger concern Looking at the big picture Lin actually fares relatively well vs Lillard and Curry (if it ends up being GS).
or Reggie Jackson. I could see the Rockets rushing him back, he's not the long term answer at PG anyway.
Bro do you even lift? What are talking about matt maloney? He was never a hero. Where were you? I thought you were a real rockets fan? Are you from new york city? COOKIE GET A ROPE ROCKETS FRAUD DETECTION ALERT
I'm not sure you comprehend the importance of Lin's role. There's no way we go anywhere now if Lin doesn't step up. No excuses at this point. Harden & Howard can not do it themselves. If Lin's out there bricking open 3's & turning the ball over we mine as well not even show up to play, the playoffs are OVER. His fans spend all year complaining about how Lin's misused. Now they want to downplay his productivity when he finally gets his chance? Can't have it both ways
Lin will rise to the occasion for the rockets, after all he's gone through to make it to the NBA, he knows a thing or two about performing under pressure
Question do you have a HD TV, cause if you do, you are NOT seeing the same thing I am seeing, HE SUCKS.. always jumping in the air with NO where to go, he is responsible for 5 to 7 turnovers a game.. GEEZ
You are pathetic. That said, Lin has a good game and we win. 18/7/3 1 Back to your Lin fansite or NY board.
Exaggerate much? 2013-2014 - 2.5 TO/gm Career - 2.6 TO/gm http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/4299/jeremy-lin Number of games with 5+ TO's in 2013/14 out of 61 games played 5 x 5 TO 1 x 6 TO 0 games >= 7 TO Total ... 6 games, http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/4299/jeremy-lin For comparison... James Harden, 3.7 TO/gm, 20 games with 5+ TO's ... http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/3992/james-harden Dwight Howard, 3.3 TO/gam, 16 games with 5+ TO's ... http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/2384/dwight-howard Might want to get that TV checked out. They might have sold you a lemon if they told you it was HD. Either that or your eyesight...
Lin need first to be an Ok NBA player.. Then decent player..then rule player..then with plenty of luck and enhanced chemical formula, he can become above average. Etc.... If he does't play stupid as usual , he is a hero
