lmao he snapped for no reason.

I wouldn’t be so quick to pull the race card but I’m equally confused why Lin winning a championship is something you need to let sink in. Why not? He’s a solid backup veteran who has always carried and conducted himself well.

all because i said ''let that sink in'' doesn't mean im taking away anything from lin.
he's gonna become the first ever Asian NBA champion and that is something in fact to take in. its huge. historic. probably gonna inspire millions of more Asian kids to pursue basketball.

He isnt playing at all though. I doubt that's very inspiring to anyone out there.

Lol yup, he's made no contribution to this team in the regular season or in the playoffs. I can appreciate that he doesn't do stupid things on the bench when we are winning tho lol

Because there's just no spot in him in Toronto's rotation. At this point in his career, he's getting scrub minutes and that's what we are seeing.

Highly doubt we see KD tmrw


he's playing 100% but with limited minutes 15-20 mins would be my guess,

probably just to get him back into game shape and test out the calf and also to see if it will make a difference.

the warriors got nothing to lose at this point. KD isn't one of those quitters and always wants to silence his critics. This is his best chance to do that. So unless he reaggravates the injury, him and warriors have nothing to lose. Bring him out, if they win he'll be less rusty going into game 6. If they lose, he has all summer to get healthy.


Win or lose, it'd be good to see him try and ball. And if he balls out, if even for 15-20 minutes, that'd be so tight. I think he's got heart, and he'll try to help his team.

If kd plays and warriors struggle, get ready to see him limp and put on a great acting display courtesy of Cousins and curry who are great actors. Lol for real though, if kd comes back I'll respect him more.

idk why some asians have huge inferiority complexes. Lin is in the nba, hes a successful and great human being. He is where he should be on a championship team and thats not playing at all unless injury

The first Asian NBA champion? Sun Yue won a title with the Lakers and Mengke Bateer won a title with the Spurs. They weren't Asian?

Why are we discussing a scrub like Jeremy Lin? Says a lot more about his fans. Let's discuss Van Vleet, who actually is making a mark in this series.

It depends on Kawhi. If he's not on the team, the Raptors will quickly be forgotten. Hell, I'm not convinced they do even if he is on the team.
