While your conclusion may be true, supporting it with his performance tonight--on a second night of a back to back after playing Portland to OT last night and in OKC--is not exactly fair.

He can support it with many many other nights over the years as well that didnt include back to backs. I like Gallo but he is what he is. A middling semi-star player thats wildly inconsistent.

David Lee just knocked down James. I think it's because LeBron was trying to show him up.

Well, this month it has been more like 3 good, one bad. After a horrible start he's been pretty good. But Nugs still aren't elite.

I'm surprised but OKC hasn't fallen off one bit without Harden... and they'll have a nice young talent pool going forward.

I hope our defense shows up like the Heat did.

I hope the opposing teams we play also lose their best players on the nights we play them like it happened for the Heat.

You need more bad defensive teams like the Mavs. Unfortunately, Pacers are next.

seriously...enough with this crap

he's gone and isn't coming back. We are good, they aren't that good.

not sure why the NBA thread needs to be who to blame for the Rockets win/loss

lets talk basketball. Honestly everyone should have been paying more attention to the nets, pacers, and celtics losses then a meaningless western conference game that means nothing to the knicks.

Should've kept a Lin thread stickied.

yeah but where does it stop? Do we have a Jamal Crawford sticky thread? Zach Randolph sticky thread? David Lee?

There should be a Bill Walker sticky thread.

You mean like when we played Boston?

You're not being fair if you compare the above guys impact on the fan base to the little chinese American's impact on the fan base and just sports in general. He was nominated for an Espy, he was on the cover of Time magazine.. heck they're making a movie about Linsanity. That's just not paying respect to what happened not only on a local level but on a national level (and even worldwide)... 2 covers of Sports Illustrated back to back... that kind of exposure has an impact far and beyond what any of those players had.

He had some goodazzgames last year.

Nikola Vucevic is out here bustin' ass, and no one is talking about him

16 & 15 tonight

7th consecutive double-double

I know the Magic suck, but damn....give this man some spotlight :lol:

Post #114 » by **Capn'O** » Thu Jan 17, 2013 6:52 am

All Nikolas = beasts

The Magic have quite the eye for centers - Howard, Gortat, and now Vucevic

Lin has that "Imma take ova dis game" aura in certain moments. When he has it, he's often the best player on the floor. Noone can deny this.

Problem is, he's too unselfish. I hope he works out with Kyrie this summer, Lin can steal his dribbling skills, and Kyrie can learn how to defend.

If you go back to Around the NBA part one, I predicted this ish exactly...Picked him up on my fantasy team early on and watched the seed grow.

Kyrie can also show him how to shoot and make free throws :roll:

Lol I see like 4 pages of Hawks games posts, and just 4-5 posts about Lin and you're thinking we're trying to turn this into Lin thread.

Fyi, I have also been posting about other games as well. This is Around the NBA thread dude, which is like an embassy, you can't touch it and the citizens inside, unless you're a terrorist (troll) :roll:
