Where did all the little Lin fans go now that their hero came back to earth today with another stinker which is par for the course for him this season?

Yeah buddy. Time to grow up. It was a back to back and Love was absolutely atrocious that game himself. Harden was having a terrible game too until the 4th quarter.

Lin made up for it to with a clutch jumper towards the end of the 4th and he had THE clutch Defense steal on the final possession against the Wolves.

It's not always about the numbers. Sometimes it can take will and some clutch to win the game. Which is all that matters in the end.

Yeah, Lin did his damage in the 4th. He made a crucial steal and caused a turnover with 30 secs left.

On another note, I never quite understood the media hype around JaVale McGee.

Besides being a Shaq-a-fool fodder at times, the guy is gifted a 7 feet frame + athleticism but he's avging like 5 boards in Denver. He's a career 5.9 RPG. Only positive I see in his game is that he anticipates interior shots well.. but some of the stuff he did even when he was in DC made me think WTF was he thinking? I figured maybe he had really bad influences over there, but he's still doing it.

I seriously think that fella has a learning disability. Just look at the photo NBA.com chose for his portrait

That makes you the Lin hater then? I watched the game. Rubio played like garbage too. This whole game was bad overall. Both teams were horrible in the 3rd quarter.

Gotta call it both ways though - He did great yesterday against the Bulls. I do think people tend to overrate him, but he's gonna be a fine player. Whatever happens though, it's in Houston's court.

I still think OKC made a mistake giving up Harden. Too bad their market/ownership couldn't retain him.

Lin didn't steal that ball. Barea dribbled it off his own face. It was more of an unforced error than anything Lin did:

Look, I like watching when Lin plays well, but it's downright embarrassing that his fanboys feel the need to make every excuse in the book for him when he doesn't. His play should speak for itself, period. Stop embarrassing yourselves with the excuses.

Look who brought Lin up first...Lin had a bad game, but he helped win the game towards the end. With 90% of the credit going to Harden of course.

One thing i noticed was that Rubio gave Lin a hard time. I remember back in Linsanity he had some trouble against the wolves. Shump stepped up that game to give them the win. He usually has trouble against quick teams from what i've noticed.

Rubio's a fine defender.

Looking forward to watching Lillard develop. That kid can ball.

Lin's turnover numbers are inflated because Asik fumbles good passes. He did so at least twice last night and Lin also had a bs charge called against him. Otherwise though, Lin had a pretty poor game and was too passive. Might have been gassed from a back to back.

LOL. You should get nominated for the hall of fame of Lin apologists. Does Tyson Chandler also "fumble" good passes? How do you explain Lin's TOs in NY? Lin is turnover prone and there's no way around it.

Gassed form back to back? LOL.

I said he had a bad game but since I watched the game I can help explain what is behind he numbers. And yeah the whole team looked tired tonight. Is that really lol worthy? Troll on buddy.

Reminds me of Rubio dribbling off his own foot against us last season. Wolves guards must be prone to crunch time clumsiness? :lol:

You're the one obsessing about some meaningless 12/6 PG who shoots 42% from the field and I'm trolling? Sure. LOL. Jeremy Lin is a meaningless basketball player. If he drops off the face of the earth tomorrow, nobody will notice (basketball wise) and his team will not lose a single step.

Let it go fanboy. Nobody cares.

P.S. The "tired" excuse is definitely LOL worthy. Harden seemed just fine.

If Lin is playing bad is because of the coach, his teammates, the refs, the moon/sun alignment, etc.

If Lin plays well, it was all him. Had nothing to do with the quality of opponent. Had nothing to do with Harden being doubled and tripled so that the rest of his team has open looks. Nope all Lin.

Lin homers are so ridiculous its funny. :lol:

You must have missed the memo. The bad games are the only ones that count in the stats.
