    Lin is who he is. Solid role player. I think his crazy fans with grandiose delusions of a all star and superstar in waiting are to blame for the negative views he recives here. Lets face it they bashed every player and coach who they deemed as a threat to this ideal scenario.Lin himself seems to be a nice guy who does not deserve any hate. His limit is a 6th or 7th man on a contender.

    Lin's a decent player. He's never going to be great, maybe not even good IMO, but he is most definitely not a bad player. That said, there are too many bad memories of his time here, that I would just rather he stay far, far away.

    The dude seems to have picked it up with the Hornets and Nets, before he got injured.

    Take it easy on the guy, it was his first game back after a while. He's gonna be a productive player for the next few years.

    Hey haters what's wrong with the hair?
    That's pretty cool hair right there. Ninja style. Much better than that dodgy Mohawk.
    Aaand, he was great for the Nets tonight. That comeback is on him. Glad we managed to pull through

    I think this kind of "use members as case studies" flame bait / agenda thread should be beneath everyone to do

    Though still Lin DID make those situational plays (or non-plays), it wasnt imagined. So again Lin somehow unintentionally brings things upon himself. Even NON-caring people can make comments on those. (That last play @12 seconds it was out on Nene, but was still a bumbling play by Lin).

    Overall its still clear he very much provided a comeback spark and makes their team better.

    I think Jerry came off an injury?

    He is sloppy.

    Man, who gives a hoot now.

    He had his one season of extreme fame.

    Other role players are dreaming of it. Yes, he worked hard for it.

    He deserved that. But now back to Reality!

    I wish Lin was still on the Rockets. Then we'd have both the Beard and the Hair. Beard Fear and Hair Scare. :cool:

    He made some good plays.

    But they are very high risk. Always on the verge of a turnover or bad shot.

    Let's just say that whenever the ball was in is hands I was confident we would win the game. Brook Lopez was the one killing us. The more the ball was in Lin's hands the better the outcome would go for the Rockets.

    Gay jokes are hilarious in 2016. You have a fine career ahead of you in stand-up comedy.

    Lin is fine as a backup PG. He's a borderline starter on a bad team or a decent backup on a playoff team. Trying to recreate Linsanity is a fool's errand.

    Its not a gay joke, its a question. You have issues and are part of the problem. You are weak. Nothing wrong with being gay.

    Ah, I'm weak because I think that discussing Lin's sexual preference is completely irrelevant to a discussion of him as a player. I'm weak because despite no factual evidence to suggest that Lin is gay, you imply it because what, he's Asian? He has a man bun? I'm curious to hear your logic or at least where you buy your fine-tuned gaydar. I'm weak because I called you out on making an ignorant statement? What issues to I have and which problem am I part of? Very intriguing, I wish I had the insight you did into the world. It might make me a stronger person.

    Agree. Or a starter on a cellar dweller. Wait a second...
