    LOL @ Lin worshipers.

    Another healthy dose of reality.

    There was a time when they vehemently argued with many of us here that Lin was better than Dragic and if Lin was on the Suns he would just as good if not better.

    Now they are all just hoping that Lakers simply complete a trade with the Suns so that Lin can get some playing time as a third guard on the Suns, while accepting that Dragic will get the max.

    Folks. The final verdict on Lin vs Dragic is in. The market has decided.

    Lakers along with other teams will be willing to offer Dragic the max while no one wants Lin.

    It's on NBA.com's stats section. They could be lying though I guess.

    Wish you would be more specific but I played along the link you provided and found this gem. Kinda surprised me to be honest.

    The problem is Lin thinks he's better than what he is. I read headlines that Lin is "upset with his role" on the Lakers. But given his track record for under performing, I don't think he can afford to be upset at anybody but himself. He is and will always be a turnover machine. He's not intelligent enough to be a starting caliber PG, and he doesn't shoot well enough to be a SG. You'd think Nash could help him. But Lin just sucks at basketball

    I didn't keep up with the Rockets much the past 4-5 years, can anyone tell me how the majority of people reacted when we signed Lin? All I remember is all my coworkers and friends were excited and told me how lucky we were to sign him, but I wasn't and told them he isn't good. I was the only person out of everyone I knew who didn't want him in Houston.

    I thought this would be a good year for him to show everyone if he had any game and he doesn't. Wouldn't be surprised to see him be a back up PG or out of the league after this season.

    I think because there are so many haters, it makes me want to root for him to be successful. I guess I tend to trend against the majority opinion.

    If you root for someone because of other people's opinion of him, then you are not rooting for him based on your own opinion.

    So tinman, why you hating on Lin? Is it because of other people's (LOFs) opinion of him , or you really hating on him based on your own opinion?

    What Lin's done makes you post so much about him? You said you guys encounter once before, right? Did he act rude to you?

    Some of these questions i will answer and won't answer.

    I am compelled by the truth. If you eat a burger and you tell me it tastes great so i order the same burger and it tastes like crap, i would tell you.

    as a rockets fan, he costs us a playoff game and was completely clueless on gametime situations.
    When mo williams stole the ball, my pissed off level was a maximum level.

    So when someone says he's a great point guard. It's like a crappy burger.

    Also am i hating on your burger if i tell you it taste like crap? What if 10 more people eat the same burger and said it sucked?
    If the other 10 people are regular burger eaters and say it was the worst one, are they burger haters?
    No. They love burgers and would only want people to eat the best ones.

    "Lakers interested in Ty Lawson and Goran Dragic, whichever one they can get."

    Why?

    Do they not realize they have Jeremy Lin on their team??

    No need to get snippy. I guess I was wrong.
    I wonder if Kobe was deleted from the list after his season ending injury.

    I think you are reading too much into it and injecting your own venom into those articles.

    Any player would be "upset about their role" if that involves being demoted from starter to backup to dnp.

    Tinman's poetry falls on the deaf ears of people who don't know a good burger from a bad one.

    haha .. okay... so is Lin even a McDonald 99 cent cheeseburger?? those things are pretty nasty and I wouldn't want one even if it was free :p

    tinman, to be fair your hate seems to be a bit extreme. Plenty of players have cost us in the playoffs before. You seem to focus on one play out of hundreds of playoff minutes played.
