Haha prokorov ,
How’s your nets doing?

we don't expect him to wrap his around the relegation since he just watched his first Raptors game.

What made him the expert?

i'll click report on his next troll post.

Minutes before that post Prok got into an argument on the Nets board with Kamaze, who Prok alleged to be a Lin fan, in the Nets @ Raptors 2/11/19 thread. Rich Rane the mod gave Prok a warning, told him to “stop flooding the board” or he swore he would have Prok “banned much longer than a day”, and locked up that thread. So Prok came over here trying to stir things up as a revenge to the Raptors, to Lin, and to Lin fans :lol:

yes, but it shows how sad our history is unfortunately.

I mean no one said that he was relegating fvv to anything, but the fact that you think that's such a ludicrous idea is exactly the issue in the first place.

The raps were so bad that year, but man, I hate seeing the arena happy after Lin hits that shot. If Steve Nash hit a game winner on us I wouldn’t cheer and I loved Steve Nash and was proud of his contribution to Canadian basketball. I think rookie Kyrie hit one against us that year in same fashion if I’m recalling it correctly.

Good to have Lin with us now though, but do we ever have a crowded backcourt on the bench... is it Lin, Freddy or norm that will be squeezed out at playoff time? Because I don’t think all three are going to have a significant role come playoff time.

Excited to see Lin who will have a real challenge in locating Patty Mills tonight. Mills is one of those waterbug PGs that can get their shot off from deep. Lin looks like he is committed to busting through screens, but it will be challenge for him.

I'd like it if Toronto tried to use the following line-up for speed:

Lin
McCaw
Powell
OG
Ibaka/Siakam

I think they need to play with more pace off the bench. It isn't about shooting the lights out as much as getting the transition game going. Lin is a willing to move the ball in transition, and having some wings who can go with him makes some sense.

A lot of people in Toronto are not fans of the Raptors. They are fans of certain players or teams for ethnic or nationalist reasons.

I don't care. They are paying customers so they have every right to cheer or boo whoever they want and whenever they want.

All that matters to me is if there are pretty women in the crowd. I don't care at all for what happens on the court. I don't even know half the players on our team lol.

As athletes, we’re wired to always want, work and achieve. But it’s sooo healthy to pause, be still and count my blessings! Health to hoop, health to live. The game of basketball. The tens of thousands of fans who fill the arena and the millions worldwide who tune in too. Teammates, coaches, opponents, competition. Blessings, successes, adversity, failures. Family, friends, fans, haters. Everything down to having basic necessities to live! Thank you Lord for it all!! #WeTheNorth #gratitudeattitude #shortarmsequalsnoblocks

Impressive defense, never knew it was so good.

Lin is a really good back up PG. Turning JV/Delon into Gasol/Lin (with the added bonus of dumping Miles) was excellent.

Wish he had better playmaking/PG skills. With that said, he's been a solid addition, very steady - much better player than I thought he was.

Best is yet to come from Lin, he can light it up when he gets going. It's going to be fun, can't wait.

I've actually been impressed with what I've seen from him as a pg, his vision and passing are on point. He's making a lot of good reads and passes it's just our guys aren't converting or aren't expecting the pass so it ends up a broken play. Just like with Gasol, once he's more acclimated with the team you'll start seeing his assist numbers rack up.
