    LOF's wait for him to go off and then disappear when he has a bad game. Jlin is just like the rest of the team inconsistent. HOWEVER, GREAT GAME BY HIM SATURDAY NIGHT! Pbev and Jlin played great together, which sorta looks like the Phoenix team, sharing the ball and wanting others not self to succeed!

    Looks like Lin is finally getting accustomed to his role off the bench which is to be aggressive from the get go no matter how many minutes he plays.

    Great game by Lin and we will need more similar performances (not necessarily the stat line but the aggression and running of the team) from him in the future.

    He's trolling.

    He could be doing a very poor sarcasm too, but it's hard to tell.

    If Lin stick with his mojo and play at this level for the remainder of the season AND perform like this in the playoff, what are the chances of him getting 6MOY?

    If he does that, he will be likely to win it and more importantly the Rockets will likely make a deep run in the playoffs:grin:

    He may have started too many games.

    Congrats to Jeremy! In the context of his Faith, there is no doubt that this accomplishment falls right in line with Romans 8:28 which says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him...."

    Jeremy's loss of the starting point guard position I'm sure has been a tough pill to swallow for him, but rather than pout like Asik, Jeremy has simply played on and tried to make the best of it.

    Saturday night Jeremy was rewarded with an accomplishment that puts him in rare company- one of only three players in NBA history to record a triple double while coming off the bench and doing it in less than 30 minutes of playing time. If Jeremy had recorded the triple double as a starter, it would have been a nice accomplishment, but not such a big deal. Doing it as a reserve magnifies everything because it simply doesn't happen often.

    So the next time something bad happens to you, just remember to keep your head up because who knows, something truly amazing could be in store for you down the road.

    Not a sermon, just a thought! ;)

    The only criteria to be eligible is to come off the bench for more games than you start. It's up to the voters from there.

    Lin's at 24 starts versus 15 off the bench. With 33 games left, assuming Harden and Bev are healthy, it's not out of the question.

    Currently, his numbers aren't close to winning it, though.

    langal,
    your ironic/sarcastic posts are usually hilarious, so keep them coming. This one was just a bit more obscure. :)
