What was funny is the commentators were making fun of Lin's three point shooting.

I knew it was poor, but 18% in the last five? and 0-3 tonite...yikes.

They Lucky durant has been off, OKC could have 75 easily.


His 3-point shooting has been bad, but he's been getting to the rim so much that his overall shooting percentage recently has been very good.

He does convert around the rim and hits his free throws, but his %'s are not good overall.


Lately his %'s have been good (except 3's).

How is that a bonus? If Novak goes 0-4 I should feel better he didn't go 0-8?

When Lin has a bad night it's like 2 for 9. I do consider that better than him going, "well I haven't warmed up yet so I better chuck up 10 more shots."

That's why I care about overall, vs used to or lately.

Overall not really impressed, but i'd expect improvement from where he started.

When Lin has a bad night, his coach yanks him.

We'll never know what he'll do, the coach doesn't stand around to find out.

Speaking of lately, Toney Douglas has gotten more minutes because of this.

I do care about "lately" to some extent when it comes to predicting how someone will do next time.

You being a jerk and telling me to leave the board is why I shouldn't be allowed to talk about Lin? That's some circular logic. How about you restrain yourself?

"Hey guys I can't stop myself from being an absolute douchebag whenever someone brings up Lin, so no one should be allowed to bring him up!!'

you know why Im like that? Because youre annoying as f**k with all your Lin slobbering and not so subtle potshots at our current PGs. Your dumb ass just admitted a page ago you dont even care about the team anymore....unless theyre doing good "toward the end of the sesson". Im just saying...if you wanna suck off Lin so much while bashing Felton, take your ass to a Rockets discussion forum. Because lets not act like this is the first time youve done this. Youve been acting like a scorned lover all goddamn summer and fall and the shyt is tired now.

He's averaging 10 shots per game on 33 mpg. It's shot-selection, not being "yanked."

Douglas is actually having a surprisingly decent year. Low shooting percentage, but he's at least been a useful rotation guy, unlike last year.

While the language is a bit harsh I pretty much agree with him about not just you but all Lin lovers.

Nothing wrong with comparing what we once had to what we now have.

Especially since both Lin and Felton may be on the block.

Again, you not being able to restrain yourself from being a douchebag whenever Lin gets mentioned is not a good reason for banning the mentioning of Lin.

I should mention that there are very few things in the world that matter to me less than whether or not you find me annoying. Feel free to put me on ignore.

Trust me, Mchale dont wait, tonite is not an aberration.

When Lin plays well, he plays him, when he isn't, he sits, like tonite he is sitting.

Douglas is healthy now, not surprised he is playing better.

Have you seen Lin go into chuck mode even once this season?
