Lol. Ain't that the truth.

lol...i wanted to say the same thing... i hope he pulls out a hairdo like this on the court though, will stun everybody...plus he has been practice shooting with this hair style, got to stay with it... the spiky one is good for defense, not so much for his shooting... :lol:

Why is there a Kiss radio station in every city? Sorry, rhetorical.

He should just go back to his normal hair from previous years, not like he's got Steve Nash hair issues lol. Both the spikey hair and bowl cut look ridiculous.

Stuff like this started heated arguments in Houston and LA. Trolls would get a hold of stuff like this and bait real fans into bull**** filled with hate. It's good to see its not happening here .... for the most part.

We have a lot of Kemba / MKG / Al (j/k) / Frank fans here, but you don't see those fans posting pictures of their favorite players smiling or giving a teammate a high five like it's something notable.

I'm glad Lin appears to be happy with his teammates and I'm glad he and his fans are around, but my comment was actually sincere - is Lin looking happy a departure from how he normally looked or something? Just seems odd to me.

anyone has theory about Lin's bad shooting?

Shooting form change. Still need to get comfortable.

It started with this:

Then unfortunately the Harden trade happened. They were fine at first but then Harden's ego got bigger and bigger.

I think it is just more the systems and coaches vs. players. He's always had players he got along with, but not coaches that much. He seems happy with the coaching staff here and really happy with his team mates. All good.

Timing. He could put up all the shots he wants in practice but game situations are different.

Your comment seemed sincere to me. I think the difference goes more to many Lin fans seeing Lin more like a friend or son or something like that, than just an athlete they are following.

It's not that he was abused before /

, in fact, I remember seeing pictures like this posted all the time - In Houston, with Lin and Beverley, or Lin and Parsons, or Asik, or Brooks, or any number of other players there including Harden. Lin's relationship with Harden was never bad. Some of this is getting overplayed. In LA, with Nick Young, W Johnson, Boozer... Ed Davis.

The whole first year Lin was in Houston, he had a pregame ritual with Parsons and Harden. And Harden appeared in one of LIn's videos = one of my favorite Harden clips.

Lin's always had good bonds with those he has played with. It's his role that has sometimes been an issue; not his relationships with teammates.

Lin wants to stay single... too many gold-diggers out there in this world.
