Memphis are done in my opinion. Jerryd frikkin Bayless cannot be the #1 option for a contender.

It was wrong last season and it's wrong tonight. When teams make trades it takes time to incorporate new players.. and you know what sometimes it can take a long time.

Not to mention Phoenix has done well against Memphis. They've beaten memphis once and took em into OT in another game.

You couldve said the opposite a few weeks ago

"Jeremy Lin with 4 pts and 3 assists.

And people say that he does have superstar potential :lol:

Jeremy Lin has improved a lot this season. His defense got A LOT better. The only player he can't guard is west brook and kyrie. He's a better spot shooter than earlier in the season. overall he has potential but the dude has no stamina. He gases out in the 4th. Mchale puts Lin on a leash imo and thats b/c Harden is a beast but recently he hasn't been that good by his standards. I think Harden is gassed out as well. He's slowed down a lot this month.

Yeah, but if you're gonna quote a dude who said "a team with a winning record" as a disclaimer...then you need to cut the "please we did the same thing" because it'd not accurate. You can say "no fanbase should ever do that and we did when we had a losing record" but there's a clear difference in the BK chants and the MSG chants.

BRO!!!! Kobe got MVP chants in the Garden and he got MVP chants tonight in Brooklyn.. there is no difference. Just stop. I could give a damn about a "disclaimer" it's the same thing in my eyes.

He made a distinction that is valid...You chose not to acknowledge it and that's fine...but it's an obvious distinction that you chose to ignore. At least now you've stated so. Not so difficult.

He's young, he's gonna be inconsistent...I think he has a chance to be a top ten PG...I don't think he'll ever be more than that, but that's still a good thing.

Lin will never make the ASG, guaranteed, too many great guards that are much better.

Fury · Post #271 » by **Fury** » Wed Feb 6, 2013 4:31 am

Lin just needs a borderline all-star season and he'll get in through the vote

He'll easily get in if he ever averages something like 18, 8

nets fans on their board are bugging out, complaining about firing billy king and PJ carlesimo...music to my ears

Post #274 » by **Capn'O** » Wed Feb 6, 2013 5:56 am

Harrison Barnes? the pick that the Nyets sent for Wallace became Lillard! Nyets screwed the pooch bigtime.

chales_zed · Post #275 » by **chales_zed** » Wed Feb 6, 2013 6:00 am

I told you all Deron was overrated. Can't believe people still thought he was a top 5 PG last season. Rondo is overrated as hell as well.

Nets are a joke, they locked themselves into mediocrity for years with those ridiculous contracts for role-players. Could have had Lillard and then Howard would have walked on over in FA next season.

Wolfgang · Post #276 » by **Wolfgang** » Wed Feb 6, 2013 6:00 am

Wow. If Lin can play like this consistently he's a top 7 PG at least.

Definitely King. He thought he was pretty snazzy this summer :lol:

King should make the call for PJ though.

If you can consistently drop 28/9 (he can't) you're the best player in the league. But if Jeremy is hitting his 3 ball he's very tough to stop. Teams were giving him that.

Gallo's getting pretty consistent though :wink:

I didn't state a damn thing... you call it a disclaimer I call it a piece of useless information that doesn't differentiate the two in my eyes. The Knicks were 14-10 at home at the time of Kobe's 61pt game.. the players at least had enough pride to "try" and defend their home-court... the fans? Not so much.

This same topic came up on another forum and no one was going to the lengths you're going (after you said as much as I've been saying) to "proclaim" the situations are different... because they're not.

The rotation on his shot looked good tonight.. looked tighter.. not as much arc either. Some nice up-tick action for you tonight in your wager.
