    Why do people hate on Lin so much? He's neither a bad guy nor player. So, he's an average point guard right now? He's got time to develop, and we're already seeing signs of improvement. I'm not a LOF or anything, but to hate on Lin doesn't make any sense to me.

    Is that normal? Doesn't sound that great... long-term health-wise to have your shoulder pop out so frequently.

    Few hate Lin. iJHolmes is one of the few idiots that do.

    Most just hate Lin fans. Especially the ones that go, "WTF MCHALE WHY DID YOU PULL LIN OUT."

    Cue "3 fouls, 4 fouls, 5 fouls, because that's what he does every game, Lin can't play 48 minutes, etc". All of which are right.

    What?! Anthony carter for Lin? Was this before linsanity?

    And Lin does take a lot of spills after a layup. Long term I'm afraid that might catch up to him or he could freakishly land the wrong way.

    I've dislocated my shoulder a few times and did it once playing basketball. I slammed it back in myself when it happened on the basketball court and it was much more painful than when a doctor did it and probably did more damage. If Jeremy's shoulder has come out a few times and is loose enough he can set it himself without much pain it is probably already damaged badly and will need surgery.

    Tough, smart, young. Not someone I wouldn't mind keeping for the extent of his career. He'll slowly to be a great leader, as the seasons go on and his confidence grows

    ijholmes is a troll just ignore him I did. People keep responding to him. Don't feed the troll.


    Yes it was before Linsanity. Toronto was one of the teams that was interested in him this summer also.

    But Lin does take a lot of falls but not as much as last year. Which is a good thing. Last year he used to hit the deck repeatedly because of all his drives. It was a good thing because he got to the FT line. One of the things that was great about the harden trade is that Lin doesn't take as much contact anymore because he shares the court w/ Harden.

    Gary Payton also said that Jeremy was tough, back in 2010. :)
