Jeremy Lin thread

[hater]

impressive. But they are running this poor kid to the ground.

Melo coming back will be good cause Lin will be able to get some rest at least.

[Giuseppe]

"rest?" He's 23. The last thing he needs is rest.

[Reck]

This guy is developing a really bad habit I dont see him coming out of it soon.

When faced with an adequate team, Guard he shrinks and wants nothing to do with it.

He's been shut down today against the Celtics.

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

Good, then you people can finally stop ingesting his yellow seed and move on to something else

[Reck]

Yeah maybe I'll go back to clowning on your Suns. That one never gets old.

Kind of guessed Lin would settle down and be a pretty average PG

Cue Knicks offering him a 5 year 75million contract.

[pass1st]

Can't blame people for thinking he was the truth, he had one of a run

[Venti Quattro]

His 15 minutes of fame is over. He can still work his way as a decent back-up point guard.

And 5+ Allstar performances, starting over Rose, due to the Chinese vote

[Frenzy]

Question is would you rather be average your whole career or be one everyone wants a piece of if even for a brief time...and then slip back into mediocrity.

[baseline bum]

[jeebus]

loooool.

I still haven't seen this kid play but looks like I'm not missing anything special, other than the tiest display of basketball ever.

better off not watching him ever again tbh.

[Technique]

Refreshing to watch legitimate basketball skills.

Thank you Lin!

Man...

[Lincoln]

She's fine as . Dudes got his life made. He is making like 35 million off 6 good games, gets to play a child's game for fun, and bang hot es

Deep down everyone is jelly.

[jeebus]

It's come to this. The Knicks will only go as far as Jeremy Lin's asian ass will take them.

the sun shines on a dog's ass once in a while

yo dwags check it out

man J-LIN is my man ,dawg has our respects from last game on~

watch out folks, Lin is really something~

C'om on son .look down on yellow fella? he is a match-up nightmare~

Kid is having fun out there. Got a Tim Duncanlike demanor. The look like he's ready to pull a calculus all nighter rather than play ball.

at 4:35 doing the Kung Fu bow

If Lin plays good this season, he will become an all-star next season because all the Asians will vote for him. That's basically how Yao got in even though he had a broken foot.

the craftiness from the highlights reminded me of manu's play a little. he's deceptively athletic and has good fundamentals. it is only one game though... i don't expect him to keep it up.

Pretty interesting player, IMO. I am becoming a fan already.

i said he was a starting caliber point guard on this board last year. needlesss to say i'm not surprised.

Lin > Rubio

I feel like we're seeing the Asian Steve Nash, but the difference is he can dunk. He might save D'Antoni's job at this rate.

:ror

[baseline bum]

I'm proud of you Lin.
He said he will come back to Taiwan in Summer.
Lin we will wait for you here in Taipei and your hometown
Zhanghua.

[jeebus]

I went to see him play at Taipei Arena in August 2011 when Taiwanese descent Lin came back Taiwan. He looked shorter than 6'3". He really dribbled and passed the ball well. I don't know why he missed a lot of 3-point shots in NBA. Because he was no problem on his 3-pt shooting during a shootout show in Taipei Arena.
Lin reminds me an ex-NBA phenom - Steve Francis. He had been benched for one year untill he replaced his injured teammate and shined bright as a starter.(of course Francis dunked better than Lin)
Lin hadn't been given a chance to play due to no trust in a skinny Taiwanese undrafted rookie by those coaches including D'Antoni.
D'A played Lin because he didn't have choice when Davis injured and Bibby sucked.
We can ony say, this is an opportunity from heaven for a pro bball talent.

[Venti Quattro]

Lin's game reminded me a bit of Steve Nash ... the ability to dribble into the paint and keep his balance as he puts up tough shots over shot blockers, as well as the court vision and the outside shot.

D'Antoni has a great opportunity to revive his Nash-Amare pick-n-roll offense if Lin can make the right reads off the pick-n-roll. That would make Carmelo a secondary threat in the offense, but that's what NY needs to do ... although I doubt if D'Antoni has the stones to reduce Melo's touches.
