    See that exclamation point inside the red circle? Click it. Then write why he should be banned, and submit it.

    I wonder why people complain instead of reporting.

    Sounds like something you and your counselor should work through.

    Something tells me that this thread didn't go as the OP had hoped.

    Seriously , I believe that we can have normal debates here. Please I already said my piece to King1, he has accepted it. Can the Lin supporters please stop piling it on him.

    Alot of these flames begin with some one making a silly statement and follow by escalating flames.

    I think the regulars need be able to see these patterns and not get sucked into it.

    Anyway Lin is having to adjust to fit Harden, it's understandable. Harden is better.
    Seriously I thought Lin was a goner, from mid season. But to my surprise he improved and started to click with Harden. Hitting his outside shots. Very few players can improve and adjust in season. Especially their shot, unless it's due to recovering from an injury. which it was (his knees). This I think we can all agree.

    The part we have to debate on is, is this his limit? I got to say I have full confidence that Lin has alot of upside.

    also the other point of debate which is still open is that can Lin operate as a floor general? I think his handles got to improve before they will let him do it. Otherwise he is only going to be able to do that during fast breaks transitions. Got to say his court vision is just sublime.

    I can complain at you as well for calling me a racist and taking whats said out of context. "Little" as in kids, you really think im referring to their height?
    Okay lin fans keep straying away from the truth about his talents all you want.

    Yeah, I was hoping to keep your parents mediation out of this thread but that's your business. If it means anything I told him to stop hitting her.

    As i said people cant take criticism about the only reason they are here. At least admit to his weaknesses. I like Lins game when he is aggressive like he was in NY. He just doesn't know when to do that with the rockets it seems. Reason why Bev and Brooks fit better in i believe. We will see how much he has improved this summer, it would be great if he plays to his potential and what made his successful, or everybody knows he will be traded.

    It's possible with some posters and others not so much. I appreciate the effort on your end but they are more then welcome to say what they want. It's not something I'm going to be bothered by.

    On to the basketball side of things; Lin's three point shooting is my biggest concern. I don't expect him to shoot 40% but I'd like him to hover between 37 and 38 all year. He'll get a lot of great looks next year and he'll need to knock them down. Same goes for Parsons.

    Lin's handles will need to improve but I don't think it will be as significant as last year. He's going to be asked to do a lot less imo in terms of creating unless McHale plans on playing him when Harden is out of the game for an extended period. I know it's not a popular opinion but I really do believe Jeremy would be a great 6th man for this team. He'd get about 15 minutes with Dwight playing to his strengths.

    In terms of being a floor general the offense is going to run through Harden. They are going to want to establish that two man game with Dwight early. Lin could also play a Battier role on this team. Make open shots, cut off P@R's, take the charge and play smart basketball all around. There's a rolefor that player here too

    Show some balls pilgrim! Lin will have a break away season that will blow your socks off! Fully rehabilitated defender wants to double Harden and Howard on the floor! Lin is cruising left and right to the goal! Asian players are getting smoke a lot here!

    This has happened numerous times. Call me cynical, but contributing to keeping the best NBA website going strong is a pretty good idea.
