    Not going to make a thread about this (yet again) joke of an article by Chris Baldwin of Culturemap, because he doesn't deserve the clicks.

    http://houston.culturemap.com/news/...vin-mchales-only-damaging-himself-in-the-end/

    Apparently Culturemap is a safe haven for LOFs in denial and refuse to hold Lin to any accountability (just read the comments/upvotes of the article)!

    I feel sorry for MK Bower that he has to be associated with Baldwin. I'd like to see Clutch get Baldwin on a podcast so they can have a (one-sided) debate. It's quite possible Baldwin doesn't even believe this crap he's writing and is just doing it for the web clicks and appealing to a huge fanbase that's desperately looking for validation and to confirm their bias of their hero Lin.

    Wow, i couldn't even get through one paragraph. That has to be the most bias article i have ever read. The comments are just as bad. :/

    I get that, but $30mil is still a lot of money for two relatively unproven talents, why not spend that money to lure a proven star/superstar, especially since Melo might leave.

    Holy crap... If I wasn't already aware of his other insane articles you could easily convince me this came from the onion as a joke piece and that the comments were just made up to add to the joke.

    There is no way this guy can really believe the stuff he is writing. Gotta be for clicks. Although I would love to listen to it, something tells me this guy would never agree to come on the podcast.

    If Lin gets over 30 minutes in a game it is probably because he is playing well. Does not necessarily mean he should be getting 30+ every game. Lately, he deserves around 13 minutes.

    Block.. Steal.. Saves the ball from Parsons.. gets fouled.. Then shoots a 3 and gets fouled.. Clearly a starter.

    Lin should worry about losing his spot to Canaan, not starting.

    Shockingly, Clutch is right and LOFs are wrong. I am amazed that this happened.

    The way things have been going, he should be worried about staying in the league after the current contract is up.

    Clutch you are right, and those who don't believe this should be crushed

    He is now up to 37.1% from 3, and has hit 51% of them in his last 10 games (24 for 47). I don't even want to look at Lin's stats...

    Way to ball Bev against your old team! Showing them what they missed out on! I can't think of any other starting PG that does all the dirty stuff Bev does.

    Beverley is approving his shot. He's pretty darn good around clutch time too.
