Jeremy Lin sets record for 6th worst PER in the history of the playoffs

Listen, he's injured.

 

thankyou.

I loved Dragic during his time in Houston, but it became widely apparent very early on in the piece that $$$$ was at the top of his priorities, and there is NOTHING wrong with that. But he resigned with the team that barely a year early GAVE UP on him for a struggling AB (with injury) and a first round pick.

 

No Lin did not exaggerate the injury, he was not carried out on a wheel chair nor did he roll on the floor as if he was in agony. He tried to play through but couldnt lift his arm, get your facts right. Btw Kobe hit the 3 before the injury, he did hit 2 FTs then off the court, did not play any game after that.

What are you talking about? Did I ever mention Lin had a great series? Where the heck did I even remotely try to defend his horrible playoff performance? Are you delusional? I simply stated that Lin's horridous performance is due to his injury(except for game 1). That's called "defending"?

Stop kidding yourself.

 

Five (?) active threads for a so called "scrub". Unreal.

I thought Bev and Harden are the best and there' s no need for Lin? So why then it should matter if Lin played good or bad?

People here think Lin is a scrub......so why do you expect a good game from a scrub.

 

Is anyone actually arguing that they don't want Lin period? I just want to clear that up. People defending him act like there are people calling for his head or to trade him. His production/dollar is fantastic when you compare him around the league. No one in their right mind would trade him unless it helps you land a Chris Paul or someone of incredible talent.

The point is, we would have won more games in the playoffs if Lin was playing like he's capable of. Can anyone back me up on this?

Eliminating PER, Lin still sucked just as pICKnrOLL pointed out. Is anyone saying Lin played well in the playoffs?



Does anyone think that if Lin played like himself that we'd be talking about how to beat Memphis?

 

The feedback forum questioned the existence of the so called "LOH"s. The OP is would be a prime example. What exactly does this thread accomplish, outside of pointing out an injured player, who was the third best player throughout the year, played like an injured player in the playoffs. Truly enlightening.

 

There are worse injuries you could have. JLin didn't play above the pain. If the injury was something that could not be played thru, he wouldn't have come back and they certainly wouldn't have talked about him possibly coming back after resting just one game.

This could have been a doctor's decision, but I know there are ways to numb the pain and get a guy back on the court. From my perspective, the injury is an excuse. He'll be better next year. Much better. I know he's tougher than what he's shown so far in his injury campaigns. Half the league has injuries by the time the playoffs rolls around. These guys play right thru them because it's the playoffs and that's what they play for.

 

I wish that is Patterned919's head.

 

Yeah, you could tear an ACL, herniated disc, compound femur fracture, but sofar as being functional to the game of basketball, but struggling to be being able to lift your shooting arm above your shoulder kinda hurts your ability to shoot the ball. You've probably never had a serious injury before though, and I feeling very generous today giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Did you see how many people were crapping on him for a little insii winsii 'chest bruise?' It became very clear early on he couldnt play. Get over it. Go get laid or something there are better things to focus your attention on.

 

Don't forget, coach said might not play because he might disrupt the chemistry of the team but your savior Beverly committed a million of fouls in the first quarter alone....coach felt he had no choice but to use Lin.

 

Might not play Lin.

 

I don't see your point here but let me make it clear, once and for all. Lin was injured, and played like one.

 

are you unemployed?

 

There is a different between telling it like it is and manipulating facts to fit the crime. Tell me one player who played great in that game 1. That's effectively his whole playoff to speak of. It's amazing how some of these people keep creating new threads for the sole purpose of trashing Lin. People need to stop feeding the trolls.

 

Too far.

Which part is giving me the benefit of the doubt? The part where you said to get over it or where you told me to have some good ole fashion sex or where you wish for me to pay attention to something other than this forum?

Reminds me of this quote from my boy Inigo, "you keep using that word. i don't think it means what you think it means."

No. Are you unemployed?

 

LMAO, 3rd best? He was 4th best.

You're not helping anything with your asian colored glasses.

 

So you started this because you are bitter about criticism for Harden.

Both you and the people who started those threads are sucky.

Please stop bringing down the quality of this forum, it's quite nice besides this hate and bickering.

 

The part where you read that whole sentence? The part about having a serious injury? The part where I'm not gonna make an assumption that you've never been injured in your life and had to play a remotely competative sport? It just seems like you've never had an injury.
