Jeremy Lin misses practice

speaking as a huge fan of the guy...Is it my imagination or does this guy always have some sort of physical issue every damn time it's the playoffs?

 

Yeah... a lot of hate from old members.. as you can see from the examples below

 

fixed

 

Get well soon Jlin.

 

Truth is we need a healthy Bev and Lin...They're a good tag team.
BTW - I am STILL amazed at Beverly's ability to recover.

 

I don't understand why they don't make players take a flu shot.

 

But for more minutes.

 

Clutch time #'s are even better!!!

 

Not during clutch time.

 

I laughed out loud

 

Mchale: Send Lin to portland's locker room and make him sneeze!

 

well, it took overtime for him to have more than 7pts. His OT 7pts was sorely needed, but I expect better than 7pts and 3 asts in 29min of regulation, personally. I'm not "blaming Lin for the loss" or anything, its just that I don't think anything more would've been miraculous or something. I think anything more is expected.

 

then they won't be able to use "flu-like symptoms" as an excuse anymore

 

People still don't get it

I agree. Harden is the most clutch player in the NBA this season.

 

Is Lin HIV positive?

 

You forgot the Clutchfans latest thingie at the top of the forum listing

 

they shouldn't be resting him.

make him sleep out in the cold. get sicker. and then contaminate the blazers

 

Hey, I just got Lin status...back off!

 

@little bit - there are too many kinds of flu - you can't keep getting shots - how often would you want our players to be jabbed by needles?

and your fitness takes a hit after you receive your jab (you fall half-sick - because your body is generating anti-bodies to fight the potential flu that you are immunizing yourself against) - for a normal person you may not feel much of a difference, but in a high intensity sport like bball, a minor difference in performance could mean a lot in game time.

also there isn't a flu-jab that covers all the flu there is out there (and new ones are popping up frequently, the flu viruses have a nasty habit of mutating rather quickly too).

hope this clarifies it for you....

 

The point is that when his team needed him, and when Harden and Parsons couldn't buy a basket, Lin nearly carried the Rockets to a victory.

If it happened in OT when it's most nerve-wracking and tiring, then he'd probably be able to do it in regular time if he's given the opportunity.
