The Official Lin Net Thread

[Prokorov]

As much as i really dont want to wade into the Lin fray...

I'm really curious about the Lin haters. What does Lin have to do to stop your unrelenting hatefest on him? You know, the hate that drives you guys to post pages upon pages of stats that you honestly know dont mean a damn thing to the LinFanaticTards who are at this point more than likely Lin haters/trolls just riling u up on purpose to make Lin and his fans look bad. Help the Nets win 40 games? Go 20/10 with DPoY? Just do better than your preferred PG in Rondo? I'm just really curious, cuz after all this back and forth, i dont think anything Lin does will be good enough and that all you guys hope for is for Lin to go utter scrubtastic mode to "prove'" yourselves right. Or you guys hate Lin fans so much you want Lin the player, who by all accounts is a pretty chill guy, to abjectly fail to rub into the Lin fans faces. Yay? Go you for being right? And then hand over another top 3 pick to BOS (**** those guys, **** those goat **** all day long).

This whole situation is utterly farcical. I havnet seen such abject hatred since my little sojourn over the ClutchFans to laugh at the animals over there posting hundreds of pages of sheer hate and spite for a player who left 3 years ago. At least the laker and hornet RealGM boards who got sick of the Lin-Slurpers/trolls and prolly ended up hating Lin for it, just wisened up and outright ignored all the Lin-Slurpers/trolls until they just went away from not being able to get posters to continually rise to the bait.

Edit: Ah he has 2.3 mil in incentives? interesting, does anyone know what they are?

i havent seen a single person hate on lin.

saying lin isnt in hardens class, or isnt better then lillard/wall is not hating on lin.

some of the Lin fans need to develop a backbone, and not be so insanely sensative as to where if someone does call lin a god they take it as hating on lin

Why y'all kept bring this sht up. It felt like you want to remind people or newcomer that Lin's fans are all delusional,,,etc. Dude , get over this sht and move on. Its a basketball forum, we all can say all we want, argue all we want and praise all we want.
Drop this sht and move on. every freaking time i log on, i c u posting crap about lin fan. every freaking time dude.

im not going to stand here and let oversensative posters call me a "lin hater" for pointing out how absurd it is to compare him and rank him above superstar players.

i dont "keep bringing this up". all my posts are responses to posts addressing me. not me just posting stuff.

lots of good places to live in Jersey for a guy of his stature, if his mom manages his finances it might be cheaper to live in NJ and commute to BK honestly.

He could buy his own ferry to cross the river.

A Lin hater wants his team to lose when Lin has a major role on it. Whether anyone here has sunk to such a low level, we shall see.

Just bought a Lin 7 Brooklyn authentic jersey. Dang it's cheap for authentic jersey.

hmm? just a regular Lin jersey. actually it was the custom authentic jersey on sale but I put LIN 7 on it. $139 is very heap for authentic, original at $349. Swingman is $99.

Would love to see!

BTW, since we were talking about the epic battles in my namesake in another thread, (sorry, kinda off topic, but since it's the offseason and summer league is over......) I was reminded of a dear battlemate in Fair Dinkum from Australia. Anyone still remember him? Is he around?

wanting the team to lose and predicting a poor season are 2 different things. we were the second worse defense and fourth worst offense last year... we didnt really add much to improve on that (lost thad, added Lin). we probably upgraded, and assuming lopez healthy we should improve the record. i just see more of a 5 win type improvement as opposed to a lebron level impact of 10-20 wins

Jeremy Lin didn't even think about privacy... he just exposed himself again about where he is living at... through snapchat

is that Kenny in the video... looked like he flew to Lin's hometown to train Lin after the Linsanity season, their relationship is really tight...
man, Lin looked so young and fresh, just four years ago, NBA players age fast

Lin fans all have high expectations of Lin and believe the Nets can do better than most have expected, but it would also be irresponsible to say Lin is as good as any superstar in the league and claim how many games he can help the team win before it actually happens.

Winning is a team thing, no one player can do it alone. So instead of debating how good or average Lin is, why don't we go with a different approach?

Since Lin is going to be the starting PG and main playmaker for the team, how about we switch out Lin for another playmaker in the league, regardless of salary cap, and give a fair assessment of how many games you believe the Nets can win with that player instead as the lead playmaker, and at the end of the season, compare Net's actual record with your assessment with that replacement player and determine how well Lin did?

For example, if you replace Lin with Chris Paul but with no other changes to the roster, how many games do you think Nets can win with CP3? Please be objective when making your assessment knowing who we have on the team currently. Since there had been a lot of debates about Harden/Lin and Rondo/Lin comparisons, I would really like to see how many games people believe nets can win if we had Harden or Rondo instead of Lin leading this team.

I was thinking about starting a new thread for this, but concluded it's best to keep the Lin related discussions here instead.

For 2015-2016 season, Rondo had a WS of 4.8 and Jarrett Jack had a WS of 0.9. So 4 added wins for Rondo? If Nets had 21 wins for 2015-2016, then with the 4 added wins shall we predict Nets can win 25 games for 2016-2017 season under Rondo?

Harden had a WS of 13.3 for 2015-2016 season, so lets say that's another 12 extra wins if Harden were to replace Jarrett Jack, then are we saying Nets could win 33 games this season under his leadership instead? Do you think this assessment is fair?

Do you have any other players in mind?

asian's hairs are too corse to make braids like AI and Ty Lue... Lin'd better just keep his ponytails

[ChokeFasncists]

Holy cow!

I guess I still prefer the super saiyan spiky one.

It might be better if he has multiple braids like AI.

No, I've nobody in mind. I thought we were done with the endless player comparisons.

Comparing Lin to any other good player is almost considered holy blasphemy around here (and only Lin has haters like this). I'm not getting into that, at least until Lin has a good number of Nets games in his record.

Agreed. It's a lose-lose situation. If one goes to the optimistic side, one would be called a homer or extreme; if one goes to the pessimistic side......what's the point? There is no way to decide whether a speculation is precise until after the event.

OTOH, it'd be interesting to see how Harden would do being without Lin and D12 for the first time. He'll try to be the point guard again, with a serious stretch four. Would MDA ball succeed again?

It'd be interesting if Lin's plugged in to the Clippers. Lob City with Blake and DAJ + shooters. I dunno if it's CP3 or it's Doc, they should do better than what they've done.

I'm glad you didn't start a new thread, that's for sure.

This team is gonna be absolutely terrible regardless of how lin plays. And the link fans will throw the team under the bus to make sure he gets all the credit for wins and deflect all blame for losses. That's when nets fans will realize just how annoying the lin fans are.

Also, this is not gonna be anywhere near a league average defense . I'd say they are probably not top 24 in offense or defense

Negative much? You from the future? Bashing Lin fans for things that haven't taken place?

Randy Foye bought himself a new house a week ago:



At the meanwhile, Jeremy Lin is living in an apartment(the white one) at around Prospect Ave ... near the HSS training center:

1 reason because Lin's mom manages his money. Hope Lin can keep some privacy.

Lin has professionals managing his money. He hasn't touched his NBA salary money. He's only spending money from his endorsement deals.
