I dunno if this is worth bringing up, but I found this old thread on the Bucks board that was made shortly after the Decision.

Good for laughs. :lol:

It has been proven. There is an alternate universe where the Knicks are playing with the same team only with Lin and they're only 16-13. You just can't see it.

He is too dumb to figure out posts. I basically called him out on it and he didnt get it. Don't waste your time.

Capn'O is making fun of you and you don't realize it. You need to stop calling people dumb.

I know he took a jab at me a moron could have figured that out. I have no problem with him so I won't go back at him.

Hey btw did you know I said that if Melo went to the Bobcats this year they would have won a championship. Since he didn't I can never be proven wrong. That is how you do it right? :lol:

Charlotte is terrible. How did they get off to such a hot start?

There is this guy called Andre Drummond who is really good.

how Cleveland or Charlotte didnt take him is beyond me, the steal of the draft, the kid just turned 19 too. Anthony Davis is close to a finished product but Drummond is still developing.

Yep. I remember seeing Amare in his first summer league game. He was under the basket grabbed a rebound and just powered up over 4 people. Right there I was like he is going to be good. There was something about him.

I have the same feeling about Drummond. But I think he is going to be better. The guy is putting up double doubled in 20 minutes. He had like an 11pt/14rb/5blk game in 21 freaking minutes.

With no TKF around I guess it's my duty to point out that Gallo got a career high vs the Mavs, 39 points (on 23) shots with 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Good game for him. I mean its good to see role players shine once in a while.

On good defense. Not going to debate your other false claims. Watch the games.

Last 10 games? LOL. So players are now judged based on a 10 game hot streak (which is still not great for Lin)? Is that the best you can do?

You're beyond pathetic. Just go home and call it a day. He's not a good basketball player.

He didn't just rely on hitting 3's today, but he definitely needs his shot to be at his most dangerous, since it gets him a lot of easy layups when teams fear the 3.

The Nugs are just a crazy team though, one of Gallo, Iguadala and Lawson are able to drop 20+ a night, but rarely are all three on their game.

12/6 on 42% shooting with terrible defense and suspect ball handling could get you out of this league. I really think he's not going to be in the NBA long-term.

Where do people get this crap? "Terrible defense?" The entire season Lin's been near elite in defense for his position, if you care to check Synergy and advanced stats or watching games instead of parroting a bunch of bs.

His turnovers are also a non-issue now as he's learned to protect the ball more, if anything his teammate Harden is the bigger TO problem this season for the Rockets.

Lin started the season terribly shooting-wise but since the first game vs NY and as his knee fully recovered he's been really good.

He's shooting over 50% the last 16 games since then and averaging close to 7 assists per game while splitting PG duties with Harden. If he had the same usage rate as other PGs he'd be averaging double digit assists.

Since his 22 and 8 against NY:

18 and 6 against Philly
15 and 11 against Memphis
20 and 11 against Bulls
He also put up 21 and 8 tonight with 4 steals vs SAS.

I'm sure he's going to be out of the league soon....

No, your ludicrous hating is what's pathetic.

I’m shocked you left out the 8 pts (3-9) 1 assist and 7 turnovers game he had just Wednesday… Absolutely shocked you somehow omitted that game...

Literally every game Lin plays in is getting critiqued to hell. Wow...
