2014-15 Jeremy Lin Lakers Season Summary

It’s not surprising if Boozer does not come back along with Swaggy and Lin.
Do you know what Swaggy, Lin and Boozer have 1 thing common in 2014-15 season?

https://twitter.com/LakersNation/status/589186679900012544

BS doghouse? lol

young will likely be traded… boozer will likely try to go to a contending team and play off the bench…

oh… man.. kobe is sick.

I’ll be very happy if Jeremy not returning to the Lakers.

Jeremy, we all know you read this site, so you know most of us (if not all) would not want to see you again in a Lakers uniform until all the jokers there are gone … in a few years.

I don’t like Lin to be w Lakers bc two of their target are PG?! So I really think it’s best Lin not stay w Lakers bc they will use develop young players to make Lin be a bench next season again. Plus sure will have lots of rumors or news that to get RW in 2016. Why go through these trash again.

The problem is Kobe has very little left in his tank but Byron still wants to show him off. The result is the cruel reality that Kobe is finished as a legit NBA baller.

this happens to every star athlete. Nothing new here. Kobe sells so much merchandise and is still a big draw whether Lin fans on here want to admit it or not.

Good luck to Lin this summer finding the right team. I will keep positive that there has to be at least 1 team in the NBA. Just 1.

If coaches really do have power in the NBA, then Lin needs to choose the right coach. But I just don’t buy the front office just sits and watches the coach play the wrong guys, at least not every single team sits there like that watching the coach falter.

In Houston it seemed Les Alex liked Lin. But he still let his coaches and GM do whatever they wanted to Lin.
LAcob claimed he loved Lin but let Coach Smart marginalize Lin.
Jeannie Buss claims she liked Lin but she’s really a Kobe lover who wanted Lin to succeed but not at Kobe’s expense.

So I do think Lin needs to choose the right GM and coaches who all really believe in him.

And I think Lin will.

It’ll be interesting that for sure. Even if he signs with MDA and is ordained the starting point guard, I am going to temper my expectations. When it comes to Lin, impossible is really nothing and it cuts both ways.

Not really, since it was only brought up about…TWENTY THOUSAND TIMES since preseason.

Where have you been?

From Lin’s facebook

It appears that Mark Cuban is the only NBA owner who dictates the team’s player selection and of course the starter, backup status of players. Personally, I don’t like the Mavs and I’m glad that Cuban doesn’t seem to keen on Lin playing for his team.

GSW owner maybe just doing PR talks to pester Lin fans in the Bay Area. But I am particularly disappointed in Jeanie Buss whom in my opinion, a weak, mediocre lady.

For all the superficial PR talks, Lin’s current and former employers are not true believers of Lin. Lin got to move on and find his home and I strongly believe he will.

Well I hope J, Ed, and Boozer don’t come back to the Lakers. I miss those hockey assists!

LOL that was great. I actually visualized you yelling that out. LOL.

For those below Lin:
Patrick Beverley is rated @40th;
Ronnie Price @25;
Isaiah Thomas @22nd;
Reggie Jackson @23rd
Derrick Rose @29;
Aaron Brooks @30

Also everyone ahead of Jeremy had played more minutes per game than Lin.

I dont see Dragic in there.? Why?

Well from the business standpoint… They want to milk it till the last drop…whether it is kobe or lin.w

Love it.

When Dragic played in Phoenix Sun, he was used as a SG while Bledsoe ran the offense. This is the reason that Dragic left Phoenix.

As SG, Gorgan Dragic is ranked @34.
ORPM 1.79 DRPM -2.35 RPM -0.56
The truth is Jeremy Lin is a much better defender than most of the PGs in NBA, and better than people give him credits.

Jeremy is
21st in ORPM
22nd in DRPM
20th in RPM

Guess Byron Scott have got to throw the FO under the bus because he selects what he wants to be in the team next season.

Oh my God! Lin got both ears pierced? two rings?

Mother Lin is not going to like it.

My bad, not pester but appease.

After Kobe led the Lakers in total points scored for 12 years in a row, Jodie Meeks led the Lakers last season, and Jeremy Lin this season.— LA Sports Radio (@LASportsRadio) April 18, 2015

Wow, Kobe didn’t make 2 percent. Lin not only won, it was a landslide. Wish Ed scored higher but Kobe at <2 is great!

ewww, I can’t stand men wearing earnings, even if it’s JLin.

Ok! Does anyone like the new Lin haircut? Why?
Jeremy has a relatively long face, this hair style “elongates” further… not a right fit to my eyes. What do you think?

I remember he used to wear 1 ring before Linsanity. Surprised that he wears 2 now. Don’t like men wearing earrings. Hope my son does not use Lin as an excuse now.

Go GSW!

I don’t know about you but I think if GSW wins it all, they will all be so happy that maybe they will look away from the salary cap problem and look to build a core of 3 great guards. Livingston has done a good job, but his own output has not made a difference (it has been serviceable support of ppl like Speights, Barbosa, Festus E, McAdoo, Holiday, etc. who step up on the 2nd unit).

I would not mind if Lin gets to play for GSW because he’ll be home, valued, and he can focus on his other outside interests (he’s starting in investments, and his non-profit, faith work. He’ll be closer to his team). Lin’s proven to be able to run the best offense as a starter or a 2nd unit leader. Being on a champion heading to dynasty can only help him in the long run, and let’s face it … KT, Curry etc cannot be at the same franchise together for the 15 years to come. NBA will have shifts over time, and Lin will get his greatest chances if he’s on a great team for the next 3 yrs.

Besides, I can only watch one team given time constraints, so I’m being selfish lol. Just tryin’ to convince you and the GSW FO.

They might move David Lee. Next season he will be in the last year of a $15Mil / year contract. If they move him it will open up a lot of cap space.

deliciousgarcia (IG)Best Friends!?! but really, met an athlete I’ve admired for years now @JLin7 #lakers #linsanity

https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/589524088210653184

thanks!

OK, I have to say this. Please don’t think that I am crazy, and I have done a lot of research in the last couple of weeks about the NBA and how they do business and have found out that Lin is dealing with much more than racism. Let me explain, I have a friend that is in the music industry and she has really giving me a revelation that what happens in that business to get a head. She told me that it is very demonic to get to get to a level to where you want to be. She said that it is what are you willing to give up to be the best. Some of the things she told me was very chilling. She also told me that it is this way in every area of the business where big money is involved and if you have influence over people. All I have to say is that if you are a christian please keep lin in prayer for his next team.

hmmm … yes, the temptations of money and power always win the higher you go. And if you want to be in that club, you need to play with the people and their values. Don’t know the details of what you think, but have faith. I don’t see Steph Curry being a James Harden off the court. Ppl love the good guys too. Seeing Steph’s family (dad, mom, bro, wife) on national TV just now many times just makes me like him better. Can’t judge by a few fan shots, but his family looks really nice and Steph has a nice track record. Lin can do that too … I got out of today’s game Lin would do much better in a supportive team where he can have fun again. Steph’s circus shot today on AD is within Lin’s abilities, and the difference is Lin was not allowed have fun in the last 2 teams. They won’t let him. Also, Lin is definitely not as good on the running-stop-3ohsnap so he can work on something this off season!

Lin will be a new whipping boy for Kerr. Kerr does not like Lin’s. BB game. Lin will get 15 or less PT per game.

Trust me, they won’t. Kerr won’t say dumb things like other coaches though outside. I heard Kerr commentate on Lin’s game several times. No respect there for Lin’s BB game.

When Lin was in Lakers or Rox?

I can’t imagine Houston or LA having a serious chance to get JLin. After all the sweet talk that said to him the first time around… how could they possibly have anything honest to say this time? You know that saying, fool me once…

I totally agree. My friend stated that she knew for a fact that kobe, LBJ, Shaq, and MJ had all “sold out” as she put it.

What’s the point to be on a great team if the coach hates him and he won’t get playing time? Either that or marginalized again? Kerr has dissed Lin many times even at peak of Linsanity, it won’t be any different! Haters and people don’t just change!

Jeremy Lin Free-Agency Update: Reunion With Mike D’Antoni Would Intrigue J-Lin

The Nets owner thought he could buy championship once he owned the team. Oh boy they have nothing left to give up in order to get rid of DWill and Joe Johnson contracts.

Would be great if you just copy and paste.

really don’t get it why you kind of stick to a quote instead of look at the coach on how he treat other players, and how he ran the team. Kerr might say something bad during Linsanity days, but that’s 3 years ago, and Lin’s game changed quite a bit from then.

Like Byron said a lot of good things about Lin before he becomes the coach, we all see how those quotes counts.

I agree with your first 3, but I’m not going to rule GSW out yet.

I don’t think Kerr hates him.

Steve Curry and Klay Thomson comes from a basketball family. They are connected. Yeah Curry is a good model of basketball player and he is not like James Harden, a well deserving MVP but again Lin comes from nowhere and it’s hard for him to land on a franchise even when the owner likes him.

Kerr was a commentator for TNT. When he covered Lin’s games, he made Stu sound like a Lin fan. I believe he also called Yao a “Chinaman” and was forced to apologize with excuses like he thought “Chinaman” was equivalent to Frenchman or German and his brother married an Asian blah blah blah. RME. I think the evidence is pretty strong that Lin needs to avoid this coach.

yeah, watch their game today, and realized how weak their benches are. Just found out about Livingston is an opposite type of player to Lin, he is long, experienced, but he strangely don’t have any range, he took total 51 3Ps his whole career, that’s 10 years in NBA. He don’t really create for himself, but he moved good off ball, and his shots are all very close to the rim. He do way more catch and shoot than off dribble, and I don’t really see him create for other people. Just a thought, he looks like the traditional PG like Price do, bring the ball up, pass on to somebody, and then run around, and redistribute the ball. That’s so different style to Curry/Clay.

However, that’s the part I like Kerr a lot, he seems to use player to their strength, thus Livingston is okay, pretty much the third guard on the team, as there no better substitute guard than him on that team. But, you could see the offense and defense of GSW second team is really bad, today’s game, with 20 pts leads at half time, Curry need to play 40 min and still get the game close.

I was really hoping that Lakers could sign and trade Lin to GSW and get Livingston back to Lakers, he is way better than Price though, and fit what Byron is asking for a PG, and he has a pretty friendly contract.

Even they do not trade Livingston, GSW still could get Lin and play a three guard rotation as Curry could play as an off guard too. I could totally seen Lin play with Curry or Clay. Should fit very well.

Lin’s off ball move still need to evolve, but he could learn quite a bit with Curry.

The other thing I like is that Lin is a good friend with Curry, that might be the only team he goes to where the leading star is his friend in this whole league.

Do you have those quotes? I’d like to see that.

Agreed. The Nets are boring and terrible. But they could turn it all around with Lin and a new coach.

Lin is a good friend of Harden now; Lin is not in Houston anymore.

Kerr Apologizes:

To whom it may concern: I’d like to offer a heartfelt apology to all viewers, and to Chinese Americans in particular, for referring to Yao Ming as a ‘Chinaman’ on TNT’s broadcast of the Houston Rockets game this past Monday night (Jan. 19). I made the comment very innocently, as I incorrectly believed that referring to Yao in that way was the same as calling someone a ‘Frenchman’, an ‘Englishman’ or a ‘Dutchman.’ I had no idea I was using a phrase that was and is derogatory, and I feel terrible to have offended so many people.

I consider myself very open minded and tolerant. I lived overseas for a good part of my childhood, and I have great respect for all races, religions and cultures. My sister in-law is Chinese American, as is one of my best friends, and my brother in law is a respected scholar of Chinese history at Cambridge University in England. I should have known better than to have used that phrase, and I am extremely embarrassed at my own ignorance.

Please accept my apology and know that I will do my best to help educate others on the origin and meaning of the derogatory phrase that I used.

With the utmost sincerity,
Steve Kerr

Well the Lakers and Rox didn’t just lie to him. They treated him like crap including their head coaches demoting him to the bench and unfairly criticizing him to the media. In the case of the Knicks I just see Melo exerting his veto power. And in the case of GSW, there is really no good reason for either side to want it to happen.

you are day dreaming. Nets is a bad franchise and owner is trying to sell the team, and you see what Pierce was talking about that team, you don’t want to go to that environment, that’s a toxic environment like Lakers now.

At least Lakers their owners cares, Net’s owner don’t even care…..

yes, smart owner, smart coach, great chemistry, and great fan base, also winning and careing culture.

I don’t consider these quotes, they are only these people’s impression. Have you heard it yourself, or you only listen to people who said it and you just take it?

they need to resign Green too. But there are some other people will be off the book.

Lin play the most games. He also leads in assist, and steals, and turn over.

Look, I tried to give you the evidence. You don’t want to believe it, don’t. I’m pretty good at discerning what to believe and what not without your help. Not too sure about you.

I don’t think he hates lins game either. Announcers have to sound smart for their pay. Sasmith is one thing, but every guy with ambition tries to say something smart to stand out. Knocking Lin is perceived as smart given the nba culture and the force of his fans. I don’t think anyone at gsw doesn’t think they let a big fish go.

In fact, they wanted to get Lin before they settled for sLivingston. Just look at today. Steph had to come back in early to save the game. Kerr said so on postgame..

Heh heh, Lins dad loves bbal does that count jk

on the other hand, the Scripture also says a prophet is not welcomed on his hometown 😀

Whether GSW, Spurs, Mavs, Nuggets, I believe Jeremy will pray and make the best decision where he might FIT the best.

For now, we just have to wait to be extra patient & eat our popcorn
Sorry, I just love this GIF :]

http://i.imgur.com/aVZgT.gif

BTW, I did hear it myself. And you can also confirm that Kerr agreed Lin should be benched for Bev and that (fat) Felton was better than Lin.

I agree. Lin can totally get 25+ mins a game behind Curry. With Lin on the 2nd team, Warriors will have a dynasty. W’s style fits Lin’s game perfectly. Even if it’s only a one-year contract to kick the tire. Lin will thrive with the W’s and will command a big contract comes 2016.

https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/589614212491579392?s=09

As much as I want revenge on McHale and the Rox, I think it’s just too important for Lin’s FA that Rondo play poorly so that the starting PG spot opens up on the Mavs. (And yes it’s too much to ask for the Mavs to beat the Rox despite Rondo playing like crap.) May Rondo and the Mavs get swept in the first round. The Rox can be swept in the second.

That sounds like a compromise, but then Rondo won’t even be benched so I think it’s still a tall order 🙂

I want to point out the obvious improvements of Jeremy in the last 3 years playing full time in NBA.
Jeremy last season started in only 30 games, the lowest in 3 years.
Jeremy played 25.8 mins per game; again the lowest in 3 years.

Jeremy’s FG% was 42.4% comparing to 44.1% in his 1st year as a Rocket, and 44.6% in his 2nd year. It dropped about 2%.
The reason is because Byron Scott did not space the court properly and there is less room for Jeremy to work on.
However Jeremy’s 3P% was 36.9%; a career high. An increase of 1%.
His rebound, steal, and block shots per game remain the same as last season but he played 3.1 minutes less per game.
His TO dropped to 2.2 per game comparing to 2.5 last season.

He scored 11.2 points per game comparing to 12.5 last season; a decrease of 1.3 points but he played 3.1 mins less per game.

Despite the shackling of Jeremy last season was the most severe in last 3 years, he started in less games and played in less minutes but his performance is pretty steady and actually improves overall in defense and offense.

I was told that he’s the captain of the Italy international team.
Gigi Datome!

I like the prev haircut that he was trying to match Nick Young’s haircut. Jeremy sort of sided with Nick telling the truth about the team while Nick was criticized severely by Byron. Playing for Byron is no fun at all. Nick and Lin have a good time even when the team was manipulated to loss more game. They have tried hard to win despite the crazy rotations.

Rondo out. He will finish with a -25.

They will keep Ronnie Price and Ellington. That simply means Byron seeks to have complete control of his roster.

Yes!

I don’t get Why Carlise put Villanueva so late? Mav couldn’t score well? CP didn’t play well either.

They were desperate for 3-point shooters.

Confused about “affluence”, ’cause the sentence structure seems to suggest you mean “influence”. But maybe not. Affluence refers to wealth. Influence refers to status/pull over others. You’ve rightly commented on the affluence Lin brings because of the money his big fan-base generates. Kobe has influence over people because of his star-status, and it seems to keep the Laker FO revolving around him in a destructive way. Lin has a different kind of influence – his character. So don’t know whether you mean Lin coming to the Lakers was not about basketball but about the affluence/money he could generate. Or that the influence of his character puts Lin at odds Kobe and makes it difficult for the FO to keep him, even if they might like to. Or…both meanings 🙂 ?

i think this loss has more to do with the bad shooting of Dirk, Stad, Monta, and Dirk’s TOs

Rox because Kerr was coaching when Lin joined Lakers.

I never said Kerr “hates” Lin’s game. Read what I wrote. I said Kerr just doesn’t “respect” Lin’s game. I don’t equate “not respecting” with “hating”. Kerr is just not impressed with Lin the BB player. Kerr’s commentating went beyond trying to sound smart; he cut down Lin’s BB game. I think I know the difference better than most people. Barry guy is the worst sh*tter of Lin’s BB game, and Kerr is the same way but in an understated way.

So, Livingstone is still with GSW. What do you want Lin to do on GSW when Livingstone is still there? Lin will be lucky to get 10 minutes with both Curry and Livingstone on GSW. If Livingstone leaves, maybe Lin can take the PT of Livingstone, which is around 18 minutes per game.

I heard Kerr comment several games, so I can confirm what Jeremiah says here.

True. Can you give TTNN just below, some of the quotes he’s looking for?

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”

Look, I don’t want to argue with you. I read you as being argumentative. Here’s the rub – GSW is a great team, and Kerr gets the credit too. Lin loves the Bay Area and he loves winning. It’s a good match. Bay + Lin + great team, great game. He won’t get to GSW unless the salaries issues can resolve. It’s not about Kerr, bcuz ppl at GSW love Lin and speak highly of him. Someone posted here that DLee is up in a year.

I do believe Kerr is your typical guy who goes with the winning hand. He would change his point of view if it goes his way. That’s all. Different dance, different music … Kerr will respect Lin’s game if it is on his path to his win. That’s just what it is. Kerr is not a MJ or BSc, who are standing for something else. Kerr is part of the club. His style is to be part of the winning hand and rise to speak to be on top of that hand. If the club says Lin, Lin will be his fav.

You are just excited to see Colbert take over for Letterman in a month. Me, I’m watching Letterman get emotional almost every night.

At least state what I said correctly. You are misrepresenting.

Nice. 1-0 for JLin’s FA!

I heard that crap from Kerr also. Lin should avoid Kerr.

Carlisle has his game plan for the Rockets. The problem is the team has not got into groove in the first quarter and they never recover since then. Dallas will never be a good defensive team with or without Rondo. This is not what they’re good at.

Lionel Hollins couldn’t get the job done against Mike Budenholzer of Atlanta.

fool me twice? 😉

i thought that whole curry’s bday party thing this year was a joke? was lin really at curry’s bday party before the game? lol… that would be interesting…

i’m wondering if this is alluding to the whole “illuminati” topic, where many artists basically give up their souls for fame and money?

Lin’s stocking up on fishing gear.

Jeremy also could be preparing for another on-screen visit with Knicks teammate and pal Jared Jeffries — who still does his “Modern Fishing” show for the Outdoors Channel during the NBA off season. [link]

Of equal interest is that Jared Jeffries also is the “Pro Personel Scout” for the Denver Nuggets [link]. Jeffries also is probably right up there with Jeremy Lin and Steve Nash as far as admiraton for Mike D’Antoni is concerned. If Jeffries has any influence, Lin and D’Antoni would be with the Nuggets organization this summer.

Description from the video.

Zhou Qi is a 7’2 NBA Draft Prospect from China who participated in the 2015 Nike Hoop Summit. The Chinese big man showed off his outside jumper while blocking and altering shots inside with his 7’6 wingspan. While the Next Yao Ming chatter that’s surrounded Zhou Qi might have been a little premature, his skills are undeniable. Zhou Qi’s name has been mentioned among 2015 NBA Draft talks after his play in the CBA.

Yall forget, Kerr played under pops. Warriors ball movement is good, and team really plays both sides of the court, improving D. Not the BS version of D. Fans here love him and would support his play, just not against their team.

I did watch ROX MAV G1 tho…..CP25 and Rondo were bad, but Dirk was simply just terrible. And somehow, they only lost by 10

Bsc version of d, good one! His fir taking.

Me too, on second unit vs first I want Lin to start. But, gsw is about the ring, and that team first thing means you play to win. I think that early or now in lins career is import

On Kerr, that’s how a lot of winning people think … Go with the right tool for the right job. As an announcer, the job was to sound sharp and get ratings, not win.

Main issue for gsw is cost. They are building the new complex with owner money. Watch Livingston though … can’t afford to have curry come back in early for every po game.tant.

If you are referring to me, I wasn’t thinking about the mt interview. More, just that salary cap is a big deal bccuz gsw are bidding a white complex with owners money.

I hope Lin gets to a championship team, soon. Gsw low chance. We were just debating overt kerr and I believe he would love Lin due to his incentive change.

Ok, that’s is the problem with online. In taking, you get time. Me, I’m more skeptical of the character in kerr, all kudos to his performance as a coach. I am just indicating a kind of exec we picks winners and manages the inner sanctum.

Well put, Joe. Kerr had to role play when he was an analyst. I suppose he didn’t want to appear he was all caught up with the Lin mania & wanted to appear objective & analytical. In retrospect, as exhilarating as Linsanity was, it was not completely flawless. I suppose anyone could have picked fault if he or she wanted to do so.

As you’ve said, Kerr is in a different place at a different time now. One’s priority changes over time depending on the circumstance. He will do whatever needs to be done to win, if he sees Lin as a good fit. So in that regard, Kerr’s perceived feelings about Lin may not be a detriment.

However, I always come back to my inner conflict between wanting Lin on a winning team, and wanting him to lead a team, even though it is not a contender. I don’t know if Lin himself is struggling with this conflict or not. But I’ve repeatedly heard him say he wants to start and to finish games.

So we will see. No matter what will happen, it’s going to be a very exciting and intriguing of-season for Lin and his fans. 🙂

Celtics is doing a great job so far…

If Celtics best Cavs and goes to 2nd round it’d put Lakers in even worst light! LOL

Very unlikely…lol

it2 and lin best non-starting pgs in league.

he’s really tiny tho right? how tall is he? (i think smaller than brooks/augustine). looks really small on court probably why no one considers him a starter.

Rondo actually had a good shooting night…Wasn’t bad at all….Defensers does play off him to double other more important scorers, so Rondo will get some wide open look if the ball moves around to find him.

ah, but I believe in redemption. Don’t get me wrong – I see Kerr’s style as that of the guys in the club. So, I’m not a great kerr fan, but I do think he’s done a good job and he would be for Lin if Lin were one of his paths to his own victory. It’s the practical side of aging … you see the judo being played in life, and Kerr will bend with the wind. But no, I don’t believe he’s a creator from vision – Lin is the kind of guy who does that. He will get stronger with that as he matures.

Interestingly, I just learned that our brains don’t fully finish growing until 40+. Lots of things ahead for Lin.

He is 5’9”, 185#. CP3 is 6’ even, 175#. Calvin Murphy and Nate Robinson also 5’9”.

IT should be a starter, ranked #8 in PER.

A poster on here reported that Marc Cuban, the Mavericks owner, poured cold water on them acquiring Lin this summer….Was wondering whether that’s true or not and what did he actually say.

I know during the April fool stuff which reported that Lin may be a Mav this summer, Cuban asked the guy who tweeted it to take down the tweet about Jeremy definitely coming to the Mavs….Maybe it was simply a way to be respectful to Rondo while he’s still here…Atweet about the Mavs acquiring Lin so early would suggest that they have already made the decision to replace Rondo.

Rather Lin on the Nets than GSW. With the Nets, we get to see him play much more. On GSW, we only get to see Lin spend a lot of time on the bench.

Was very busy in the past couple weeks and now am in the middle of family reunion and celebrating dad’s 80th birthday. Any latest JLin news for the past week or so???

Wonderful news!

It’s great news to hear

TGBTG! 🙂

It must feel fantastic to have a new lease on life!

Ok, I’m too impatient to wait for the official announcement. Assuming, the Nuggets hire D’Antoni as HC, and Mike then brings in JLin to be the starting PG, which slogan do you like best:

Mile High LINSANITY!

or

LINSANITY, a mile high!

or

LINSANITY at 5,000 feet!

Yes. The first great news for over a year! Like how the specialist told the news. As soon as she took me into the exam room, she told me the great news from the test 2 weeks ago:-)

Agreed:-)

Best news for a year:-)

Can’t agree more:-)

No worries. Planned to bring the news earlier but was too preoccupied with so many family affairs….

Did JLin really pierce his ears?? Yep I saw the glimpse of 3 phases of his haircut pics. Not sure I like the final outcome:-)

God bless you!

He wore earring before Linsanity, but just 1 ear (at least I only saw 1 on picture, I could be wrong though) After Linsanity, I did not see he wore earring on any pictures. Not sure what made him decided to wear again.

wow–super news!!!…a really huge relief for u n famlly

https://twitter.com/milesmcpherson/status/589935712817979392

Indeed. God is wonderful! Really appreciate all the support. Now can move forward without worrying about future.

Point well taken! It should always be a team sport, not individual. But in this case the debate is not about that. It’s about what role we would like to see Lin play in a team setting. Yes, it’s about him as an individual, but it should also always be in the context of a team.

In any event, we the fans have our wishes and biases. At the end of the day, what we want may not be consistent with his own objective. We will just have to respect his decision.

BTW, your points about the need for support and about coaching being the missing factor are spot on!

Thanks! Indeed I’m blessed. God is awesome!

Just from experience, better opt for imaging than just blood test for your future checkups.

d big C is really scary to hear…my sister was diagnosed too last summer n it’s been a nightmare for us n d family..BUT ..just like you, she’s been cleared too last month… I pray you both will continue to be healthy…tc

I can’t believe that Portland played so bad now? Too bad, why Mem will not face Rox in round 2? smh!

Tony Parker is not right…..what happened…

That’s right. Teamball is his “blood”:-)

Thanks! To me, it wasn’t too bad to know that I had cancer. It was the doctor who had the hard time to spell the word that I was confused with what I had. Because of health issues with 2 operations within 3 weeks and the treatment were the hardest to get thru. Thank God that I did. Everything is behind and it’s back to regular checkups. That’s the best news:-)

OMGoodness, that is fantastic news, Melody, JLFFOz. Now that is great news! Thanks for all your support of us through your hard times too. This is a 2 way street, this community. Thank God!

wow, SAS really know how to swing it back their way. Such a good team.

I just turned it on will watch for what you said.

If Paker can not create, Spurs is a siting duck

Congratulations Mel! Stay healthy and strong, and enjoy Linsanity for many years to come.

On this point we’ll have to agree to disagree. I’ve always said that an athlete must start by believing. Once you start accepting being second best, you’ve already given up. Accepting a roll of being a back up to the splash brothers may be good for the GSWs and propel them into a championship, but it won’t be because he led them.

I believe that Good enough to lead a team of his own to a championship. By learning to be second fiddle is a mindset I wouldn’t even want him to adopt. I’ve seen it on the tennis tour too often when players stop trying to reach for greatness and accept “good enough”. They “know” what is known but fail to reach for a dream. They then accept their talents as a final stage of development and only refine what they’ve got. They think that they are improving but in essense they’ve already placed a mental limit on their development.

danny green’s box score doesn’t look very good …

Maybe they have a Christian design. Maybe he’s tired of the bracelets and is wearing the inspirational motif elsewhere. Tattoos next?

Congrats and very happy for you!

For someone with so many chinamen friends, Kerr sure is white about his apology. What a imbecile.

Accordingly, after a recent Golden State Warriors practice, Curry made 77 consecutive three-pointers during a shooting session, which is by far, the most threes in a row he made in his lifetime, and probably in no other lifetime of any basketball player on earth for that matter. The streak is just too amazing to even think or believe it. But ESPN confirmed that it really happened on April 14, notes Yahoo! Sports.

Ironically, the feat did not come as a surprise to Stephen Curry since according to him, he actually made 94 threes out of 100 shots during the same session.

http://masterherald.com/golden-states-stephen-curry-makes-77-consecutive-three-pointers-in-practice/14940/

crazy!!!!

Really happy for you Mel…God Bless!

There was a Japanese player made 980 out 1000 attempts. I wonder what was the longest streak for that?

ok, I get your point. But you use a 1-1 sport to make it. My point is this is a team sport and we have 3 years of being on losing teams where Lin was not given the keys. If the sport won’t give him the keys (and I mean FO, coaches, and team. Fans I think are there), then I’d rather have him has his champion mindset on a champion team.

I know you coached tennis and his is your vision for your athletes. I also know you played PG and gave it up because of the biases against you. I am just saying, Lin is facing what you faced, though at a much higher level. If Lin is to break through, he needs some help. That help comes from the team (FO, coaches, team, fans, etc.)

So let us see … I get what you say and agree. I have to make sure I go for broke every day, and yet, I have to pull back and be a team builder, team player, team leader sometimes from the back seat or trunk. Team sports involves people, and people are indeed so frail. Just look around, look at all the people on alcohol, drugs, ego-lives, etc. The live of a person of faith helps us stay attached to the truth.

Anyway, I get what you are saying. Bummer SAS lost tonight. They weren’t hitting the shots and Clips were. And CPaul had his way through the paint, I was thinking I sure would like Lin to have a game like that soon!

Sorry, Kwok Wai. My previous post addressed to you was meant to be a reply to someone else. 🙂

Sorry, Kwok Wai. I mistakenly sent to you a post that was meant for JLan Fan from Australia re her health status. 🙂

No problem

yep. and that wasn’t even inflated by hack a anybody. the determinant variable for rockets/harden is: does harden get double digit free throws? when he does they win 80/85% when he doesn’t they are 50/55%.

the received wisdom has been that in the playoffs he is less likely to get those calls “a foul creating machine” as carlilse called him during the regular season.

this game he got them, the rockets as a team at home got them. and harden gets his 25-50 points and the records win.

but thats the factor to look at; check at any point in the game what pace of total fta’s harden is on and you can prety much know what the end result will be.

this time Harden is viewed as a MVP. He will get the calls and Rockets will win a lot of games. oh well. Lin just needs to find a good team for him next season. Pray he will.

I am sure Curry will win MVP, but Harden is deserving also. Look at Rockets’ record with Dwight not playing most games.

Yeap. No penetration against D. Jordan. If Jordan had a better FT shooting, he would command a max K on any team.

Yeap, Spurs always manage to score against LAC bench. If Crawford starts missing, LAC bench in trouble.

Not much to talk about tho. Spurs did lose a lot of G1s in the past

Ok, Both Tyreke Evans and Jru Holliday out…smh Can anybody say JLin they need you…LOL

Click link for Joey Ramirez. Love that.

awww…she’s holding her phone. photo op malfunction

i know there are a lot of rich people on here (aka 1%’ers) cause there are all these discussions of expensive watches and other stuff; any one (of those) up for buying kobes “pelican ridge” home, now for sale; bought for under 5, 2 years ago trying to sell now at almost 6.5 (thats that new kind of dollars, million dollars).

You do not need money to discuss expensive things tho…

Nothing is easy unless you are facing ROX? LOL jk

rox are easy if beard dont get double digit free throws. (but then he’s roughly averaged ddftas for last 3 years.) reg. season

(last year in playoffs he didn’t get them) .

will see what happens this year. there is a theory in playoffs not as likely to get the calls, first game this year, he got the calls, as did entire team someone said 3 to 1 fta’s rockets to opponent and there wasn’t even much hack a whoever to inflate it)

Interesting 2015 Player Capsule: Jeremy Lin
http://www.nba.com/lakers/150420_lincapsule
Great summary of what Lin’s capable of in a non-tanking team plus excellent highlights (“He did it all. He went coast to coast!”)

The writer might be a Lin fan.

BY THE NUMBERS:
21.3: Points averaged from March 22-27. Jeremy Lin scored at least 18 in four straight games, marking the first time he had done so since the February 2012 period known as “Linsanity.”
36.9: Percentage shot on 3-pointers, which set a new career high. Lin ended up tied with Nick Young for second on the team, just 0.1 percent behind Wayne Ellington.
339: Total assists dished out by Lin, which were 133 more than the next-closest Laker, Jordan Clarkson.

SEASON SUMMARY:
An up-and-down season peaked late for Lin, who averaged 14.4 points and 5.4 assists in 14 games during March. Unfortunately for the Lakers, Lin’s year ended right when he was finding the “aggressiveness” that he and head coach Byron Scott had talked about all season long. Despite missing the team’s final four games due to a sore left knee, Lin averaged 4.5 assists in purple and gold, leading all NBA players that came off the bench at least 40 times.

Just saw this series of tweets about Byron Scott. I would laugh too.

Thanks! I will.

Thanks for your support. Really appreciate it!

YES! Finally I’m free and don’t have to think about this until next year:-)

Thanks! Pray so! Yes, plan to watch JLin’s games until he retires:-)

my watch is my phone, so that would be infinitely more expensive than mine. My old watches are sitting in drawers with batteries leaking acid and destroying them. So much for casios and swatches ha ha. When I grow up, I will buy a swiss chronograph 🙂

edit: hmm. didn’t know this evidently a large % of williams points come from drawing fouls on 3 point shots. set a record for most in a season. he’s referred to as “the james harden of the 3 pt whistle”.

I totally agree w Bill Simmons on Mav is sure a lot better w/o the trade for Rondo. Also think he is right about Lin can do better job than Rondo in Mav. Ya! I hope this will come true.

It’s really hard to be sick and have a scared family member to carry. You did it! Nite yell then the good news and you will see love amplified back. It’s ok, it’s the way people are.

So happy to see him having fun after a long, difficult season! I still hate those earrings 😛

Great summary , that explained everything, hope Jeremy will read your post and learn from here.

Yay, Curry MVP.

Tough game, Asik etc playing really well. T Evans on the bike to keep his knee warm. It’s almost like Lin.

Did you listen to the full program?

Oh! I see…So what do you think his opinion on Rondo now?

only one sentence… towards the end of the first guest…..

@btopishere from reddit graghed this to show PG defensive impact for 2014-2015 season, Lin’s right in the middle, not that good, not bad either, especially compared to some elite D-PG, lol

note: itsbarron 262 points 1 day ago—-Just in case… the bottom left is the good part == lower opponent’s FG% and lower than opponent’s average FG%

I have no interest in the playoff w/o Jeremy.

They were allowed this way, price to pay for future superstars, lol

aj, did you give jlin those earrings?

Sometimes I wander if you are truly a lin fan, because you always show up with negative information about lin that you have found off some hijacked website…shame on you…smh

@gracensns:disqus, this is obviously an interesting analysis of a large, unbiased, data set. It indicates that Lin’s defense is basically equivalent to most starters. Of course on a better team with bigs who play defense better than Hill, Sacre and Boozer as well as a better coach to orchestrate team defense, Lin’s better than avg defense will become apparent.
You don’t need to respond to the senseless attach made on you by the mod below. I hope at least one of the other mods will have the integrity to delete her post and ask her to apologize to you. SMH (sarcastically)

It’s not a senseless attack. It was a opinion comment. I have seen a her post a lot of stuff on here that always has the negative viibe to it. I also remembering during many games when people were reporting games, and sometimes the psoter would call lin a scrub. So get your facts straight before you come on here and call something an attack.BTW, if you don’t like my comment, just down vote it..smh

Agree again.
Imagine if everyone start to copy her way, and end with shame on you, smh, everytime they disagree or don’t like something other posters post, what would it be like here. The poster’s record is open to speak for her whether she’s a fan or not.

What? Dragic is worthy that much but Heat is not even made it to playoff?! I really can’t believe this?

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12729854/pat-riley-no-excuses-miami-heat-missing-playoffs

read the news on the link above.

Dragic repeatedly failed to lead his team to the playoffs yet there are teams, including Heat that has won the championships..our Lin definitely has many good offers awaiting him this July. :))

I really think Dragic is overrated bc if Lin got the same freedom like him on court w playing time, Lin sure can put up a lot better stats & win the game.

1 team .500 and 2 team under .500 and still the Heat couldn’t make payoff?

hm, so Bill didn’t say it then?

https://twitter.com/Sportige/status/590495698077880320

https://twitter.com/RealGM/status/590558444211539969

I have to admit that I’ve massively decreased my involvement on here due to the double standard.

While I appreciate Joyce’s enthusiasm and love of Lin as a player and person sometimes her defense of him makes me just leave the site.

Why would I attack a teammate of Lin’s, who he is possibly friends with and who he’s trying to support? Lin himself is supportive of Clarkson and his half-asian background. I don’t need to tear Clarkson down to make Lin better, I have more faith in Lin than that.

Lin’s defense style is very much ‘5 man on a string’ and trusting his teammates to be there… but that’s difficult when not everyone’s on the same page defensively or is lost defensively because of poor preparation/coaching.

I understand. For me it’s the inexplicable arrogance, rudeness and even aggression directed at other posters that I find hard to tolerate.

could be. I’m still unfamiliar with how the new CBA impacts salaries in 2017

But having Rondo and Dragic (LA & Heat?) quickly signed is probably good for Lin and other PGs since teams will keep bidding on the available PGs.

Please don’t bring the drama over here acting like somebody is keeping you from posting over here. Please don’t get it twisted, many don’t post over here is because they can’t troll over here. Another thing is that many of you get upset when many don’t agree with what you post on here, and then you try to argue your point to make it valid, instead of deciding to disagree. I also recognize the slight of hand that some of you do with many of your drive by postings. So it is what it is. Enjoy the rest of your day:)

to be fair, joyce has many good posts and insightful opinions but I understand some strong opinions or posting style can be received negatively.

As I said below, the mods will take the feedback and discuss them so all of us can always continue to improve. Thank you for the feedback.

You know that I don’t deal well with sleight of hand stuff. There a lot of drop in posters with this sleight of hand stuff to create drama. What I posted was merely my opinion and I am allowed to have one. I saw the stats, but to me, it looked like lin is doing very well in his overall stats as they were posted here a few days ago. To me(my opinion) is just another sleight of hand move.JMO

no one has yet to mention parkers clear decline as a player. spurs could use lin as a replacement

Here’s to hopefully an uneventful 4 years =)

Yes, Parker has pulled his team down this season. He used to be such an unstoppable zig-zag.

For those who like what Tim Tebow does with his charity work similar to JLin, here is an interesting article on why people should root for Tim Tebow.

I agree with the assertion that even if Tebow still doesn’t have the skills to play a pro NFL QB after tweaking his passing mechanics in the last 2 years, many kids/people will benefit having a good role model in the NFL. Much better than the bad news of NFL players killing people, abusing women, drugs, etc.

If Lin and Tebow break through again in late 2015, it will benefit each other to raise their platform to become even better role models

https://twitter.com/JLinPortal/status/590547272322146304

Those are objective numbers, somebody put in efforts to make the graph, it happened that Lin’s a fine defender, I do not follow why you’re so upset?
For my posting history, you may have mistaken me with sb else?

This list is my analysis of how I think Jeremy sees his situation. I see these points as being very obvious to him and I’ve never had the impression that JLin needs outside advice. I wrote this post to provide my perspective to other Lin fans who sometimes make the case for the Lakers, Rox or GSW.

I disagree that ‘Joyce’s enthusiasm and love of Lin as a player and person’ is a negative. Being a LOH( not ashamed to admit ), I also get tired of ‘some’ posters repeatedly up talking other players, while down playing Lin w/the I’m a Lin fan but….’ attitude. I also come to this site to get Lin news, not to hear about NBA…which I can go to any other site for.
Other posters also seem to take it for granted that pointing out another player/team mate’s weakness of Lin is an attack, whether it’s true or false. Then feel it’s ok to magnify Lin’s perceived weaknesses.
I also don’t agree that Clarkson is all that( mpo ). What a lot of people/posters don’t realize is that a lot of other Lin fans aren’t fans because he’s Asian, but more because of who he is as a person. Those of us that aren’t Asian don’t feel the need or want to follow/promote Clarkson( or any other individuals ), just because he is 1/4 Filipino.
That’s the beauty of being a ‘Lin’ fan. There are differences in opinions, styles, perceptions and race all in the name of being a Lin fan.
I find it a bit ironic how those posters that criticize Joyce or others that post their opinions ‘boldly’, have similar style of posting. Just an observation of how simple or complex human nature can be.

for just about every playoff game i’ve watched, i could see lin helping A LOT. too bad they don’t have him right now.

I havent been on this Site for that long but one thing i did notice was that i was being questioned if i was a Lin fan by the Admin just because i was discussing what Lin could improve to become an even better nba player…it felt like i was being interrogated…sure i have not been on this site for that long but why would i not be a lin fan just because i was discussing what i think would improve an already good basketball player to become great.

Oh no, they are catching onto to the plan:

“As the Association moves toward “pace-and-space” concepts, with smaller lineups more suited to shooting 3-pointers, adding Rondo to a backcourt that will include Kobe Bryant might be potentially disastrous. Neither shoots efficiently from the outside, both are ball-dominant, and each player has a strong, combative personality. Neither gets to the line much anymore, and defenses might be able to hang back and let them fire away.”

http://www.sportsworldnews.com/articles/36770/20150421/rajon-rondo-lakers-rumors-will-los-angeles-lose-interest-if-mavericks-cant-upset-houston-rockets.htm

No worries…bs doesn’t believe in 3-pointers anyways. As long as kb is happy, BS LaLa is happy. Goooo LaLa…grab Rondo and let Lin goooo! ( smirk )

My take is that for 3 long years now, JLin has been deliberately marginalized by his coaches and prevented from playing to his potential. So I think it’s hard to know which criticisms of his game are constructive or fair. But I also understand that not everyone realizes or accepts this assertion. So I guess it’s ok that some want to point out his flaws and areas for improvement so long as there can be a civil debate on the subject. Personally, I prefer to wait until after FA when JLin is finally playing for a team and coach that is trying to play to his strengths, maximize his potential, and win games.

Lin would be pretty stupid to resign in Houston. I don’t think he is stupid.

yeah me too. but IF someone were to post negative news, i don’t necessarily take it as a bad/negative thing.

They are as stupid as they sound, so we’ll see how they do. can’t see one playoff team not shooting 3s.

i think LMA is leaving portland. lakers could use LMA since they currently don’t have a good player that plays his position

This summer will be really interesting and since I am not in Lin’s inner circle, I will never know how he thinks if he returns to the Lakers.

Someone once posted here that there is no “escape team” for Jlin. That every single team in the NBA is a problem for him and he will probably be a bencher on every single team regardless of circumstance. That notion is probably right unfortunately.

So from that standpoint, he would indeed be better off just staying in LA since it’s a city he likes and he’d be treated the same no matter where he goes.

If Lin leaves for an MDA team, that would be best. Short of that, it will be real interesting.

I think Dragic is at his peak. Lin has another season or 2 to go. He started later than most players to get regular minutes.

there are two separte issues here: a. salary cap increase “new salaries” big jump occurs 2016 (this is 2015 f.a. season) or next year. projected to jump from 60s to 90s which was thought to be a huge thing cause previous highest jump was 7. this was thought to be a one year thing with folloiwng year 2017 dropping to a less gigantic increae more in the line of 15 instead of 30

however new projections forecast almost as big a jump to possibly around 115 in 2017.

the “new cba” as you put it could throw the whole thing into unknown as 2017 is allso year contract to be renegotiated between players and owners and possibility of deadlock there

how individual players/ owners will “play” these developments is matter of speculation.

but the one clear thing: from this year (lin f.a. year) to 2016 f.a. year (next year ie. 2 playing seasons away) there will defintely be a huge jump in available cash. (i guess this is when new tv deal cash gets factored in).

feel free to correct any mistakes this is all from memory.

“I find it a bit ironic how those posters that criticize Joyce or others that post their opinions ‘boldly’, have similar style of posting. ”
It’s really only me and Jeremiah who do the talk here. So you either point it to me or Jeremiah. You should point it out clearly instead of vaguely.
I don’t know about Jeremiah, but I would not say this much or even say anything if joyce wards is not the mod here, and If this is not psalm234 who’s running the site. I do not have anything personal against her, but as a mod, one helds more responsibility in setting a good example. As a mod, if she’s breaking the rules, then no point for others to follow the rules. She could explained that it’s the way she talks(I know some people, including me, will sometimes use that kind of style. But only limited to close buddy, who knows your character and who you know doesn’t mind )she does not mean to offend or been rude to anyone, but obvious she’s careless about it.

Not Lin related but I love going to LA Film festivals. They are so much fun.

https://twitter.com/angryasianman/status/590599764263178240

‘So you either point it to me or Jeremiah. You should point it out clearly instead of vaguely.’ I wasn’t pointing fingers at you or Jeremiah specifically, because I’ve never seen or have known of your posts here. I have been on this site since its inception, so I’m familiar with a lot of the posters, including Jeremiah( whose post I’ve agreed with numerous times ), Therefore, I wasn’t just referring to this particular discussion, it just happened that I responded to your post at this time.

My post was intended to point out the difference of opinions/styles that vary on this site and that it’s not ‘just’ Joyce w/differing opinions. This is a good example of how misunderstanding, depending on perception, occurs. Just as a finger is pointing at Joyce for her posts, 3 fingers are pointing back at you, me, Jeremiah and everyone else here. I could take offense at your response to my post, but I believe opinions are just that…individual thoughts/ideas.

IMO, i think the problem lies with joyce saying, “sometimes i wonder if you’re a lin fan…”
i’m sure her opinion is valued here. i come by this site very often and check the posts and enjoy them. she also provides great insight in all things related to jlin. remember, all opinions are free to be expressed! but, i don’t agree with anyone assuming that someone is a true lin fan or not. that’s not up to anyone to decide except the individual themselves. i’m not directing anything at anyone. just seeing where this whole “problem” may have started.

Darn…I really liked them too. This is why I follow just Lin…he is truly an anomaly in the professional sports / world…walks the talk all day, every day.

It is hurtful to come on a Lin fan site only to have your loyalty questioned. So I understand your feeling of being interrogated and offended. But it was probably just a misunderstanding.

That’s just it, Tina. ‘All opinions are free to be expressed’…including Joyce. I question a lot of posters claim to being a Lin fan too, but because I stated it differently, others aren’t going to bash me as they have Joyce. I don’t agree w/how a lot of people express themselves, but I do try to be fair and would like to see people on this site follow the same criteria they expect from others.

There is a lot of hypocrisy in this world, but I’d like to think that people on this site are smarter and follow Lin’s lead as to treat others better than we perceive how we are being treated( even if we don’t like it ). Just my personal 2cents.
Just as others have stated before: agree to disagree w/o needing to insult.

At least we have solid rumor of HOU showing interest in Lin (possibly for Asian marketing purpose + off-the-bench scorer)

Nevertheless, IMO Lin shouldn’t come back to LA or HOU whenever possible since it contradicts his desire for a FIT (playing as the starter/ball-handling PG in a PnR team)

wow .. the Morris brothers seem to be very good guys.
They beat up a guy who sent improper texts to their mom
Maybe they have the right motivation but definitely wrong actions to take matter into their own hands.
Hopefully it’s just slander

Is it this one here? Roughly at 00:56:00 I think. If so, not sure if that’s a ringing endorsement for Jeremy.

http://espn.go.com/espnradio/play?id=12728938

ah, got it. thanks

Yeah, hope there’s a good explanation. Right now, not enough info, and can’t really judge until the facts are all out. Not looking good at this point though.

It might be, but I think one of them had an outburst earlier this year with the head coach. So who knows.

I am so impressed with Brad Stevens

next time, turn around and give them a strong lady hug because every man needs one given all our teachings to absorb it like a man, you know what I mean.

Was this worth watching?

That is not Joseph but I think his brother probably will finish his college this year.

The one thing that I am so proud of lin is that he has actually given Asian men a platform to start with. I really do believe that Fresh Off the Boat was inspired by Lin. Lin has take asian men out the box to the point that I can say that my niece & her friends have Jlin posted on their walls. I bet People magazine have approached lin about being one their most eligible bachelors and he turned them down.LOL

he he, I wish I was 22 again … Yellow Fever seems to have the Linoculation finally ha ha.

Yes it it. There is a video on YouTube with this Asian saying that women don’t really see color when choosing a man. He did an experiment. He went around and approached black women to ask them for a date and every time he got their number. They gave it to him right away. One girl, he asked if she had a boyfriend and she said maybe, and then he asked her for her number and she gave it to him, and then he asked about her boyfriend, and she said you mean my ex-boyfriend. LOL

Me too. Lin just needs to be given a fair chance to do his thing.

Are you kidding One of the most eligible bachelors! That’s amazing!
Could be just one of the most eligible Asian American bachelors! Are you mistaken?

Correction: everyone I know, doesn’t like Lebron for selling out, lack of loyalty, LOL. Lin would not do that. That’s why it will be about “fit” more than $. That’s why I hate Kobe x2.

ha ha, sexiest man alive runner up, if only he didn’t joke around so much.

Pending on our approval!!!!!!
Stand in line please. LOL

That figures. They have an issue with Goran Dragic too.

Kobe will regret playing this year and the next. He’s really exposed.

Lin should choose coaches other than the old school cats like McHale and Byron.

I’m not even mad that it’s not Kerr lol you get it.

Jeremy Lin appears as a playmaker and a wingplayer.

He is aged and starts declining. Give them a long contract is risky for the organization.

Couldn’t you just agree to disagree and leave Joyce alone. You are really carrying something to the peak. That’s really unnecessarily.

chandler parsons may be out for rest of series with beards.

you can call em beards or you can call em hardens but you doesn’t have to call em rockets. (or maybe you do here).

name calling. ???

yes, good clip this time

“Rondo passed to Ellis for 3 .. uhm, no”
That’s all I want to hear :]

lol .. I thought many want to know how much Rondo is helping Mavs fans to give Lin some love soon

Mavs should have traded Rondo for Lin.

Really hoping playoffs will show how championships aren’t bought with money, but with teamwork.

wow. harden is dirty. i actually feel bad for rondo

Rondo is frustrated for sure

yes, he can’t guard Harden and not helping on offense either

barea runs the team better than rondo.

The Mavs really looked disjointed. Only Dirk is a consistent threat out there.
No chemistry with Ellis.

They need a real PG desperately. But he’s on vacation in Southern Cal now

The thing is, even if Rondo just wants to say F-U to the Mavs, he’s also trashing his own value in FA. No team will pay him max salary with this kind of playoff performance.

ugh… that guy.. vacationing right across my house and didn’t even tell me. smh i’m going to have to have a talk with him about this

Say hi when you see him for us. And tell him to take the earrings off!

as long as Harden does not freeze out Lin? =)

BS outdated system and tanking made it really tough to stomach. At least Lin got 6-7 Linsanity games post ASB.
HOU system is a little better than LAL but I still have severe physical reactions when watching McHale =>

ok ok will do! they are going fishing in june. probably.
ha ha…

but I have no doubt Lin is still the scapegoat in HOU, though :]

someone is having a much deserved vacation. Cool pic!

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/590712727997440000

Can anyone see if Rondo is cheering wildly from the bench?

nope. didn’t see him…

harsh but fair.

oh that was him? gotcha

4th Alley-oop dunks by D12!

The problem Dallas has is his money not on the floor with Parsons Chandler out.

Almost all the alley oops HOU got somehow involved Dirk…over these 2 games…..

First PnR I’ve seen from Dallas tonight despite Chandler missed slam dunk.

J Smith plays so well for Rox today. I think Mav will loss this round.

Dirk was a dud in the crunch tonight.

There are Lin fans posting real update that I might miss.

Some tough guy stuff then … Here’s what got Mirotic hurt:

Dirk is very grounded .. and humble at the same time 🙂

HAHAHAH problem solved!

I’m wanting him to play better tonight, Mavs had a chance.

Wow, Rondo only played 10 min. I believe there is now a vacancy at PG for Dallas this offseason

harden and rondo were getting heated up. it was a good decision to have rondo sit out before rondo loses his cool

Did that. Sea-Doo pretty fun for one hour. Then your butt starts to hurt. Lol

Literally, his only contribution is offense……so…..oh well

Logitech M705: “Hyper-fast scrolling lets you fly through

like a match made in heaven

Better than those rental skating shoe….does not even last for one hour

mavs are rotting from the inside out, from players to the coach. and it’s very apparent when they play together.

It was a bad mistake to ship those players to Celtics.

no reason you can’t have both =)

Let’s just say I was one of the fans of McHale. No one beats his footwork down low. My bubble of NBA just broken after I witnessed how badly he was a coach and how badly Lin was treated in NBA. Well I am a Kobe hater, but before I actually followed Lakers, I thought he is one of the great…..LOL. Whatever….I took the red pill I guess

So many good talents like Lin. Got buried in this big NBA machine I think LOL

Yes sir, and only the toughest man and women can get that done….I certainly can not If I were Lin

Hoping LAC will show up to deal with Hoston

I think the owner wanted to gamble with Dirk’s last seasons and pull those trades, and failed.

streaming live now. with video of them live as well

There was a small table for charity at the rockets playoff game. Pay $5 spin the wheel and get a prize. I won. My prize was a calendar or poster. I wanted the bobble head. I HAD TO PAY $5 MORE! WHAT?! The guy said that prize was a $10 dollar entry. I was like he doesn’t even play for the team anymore, but when I saw the box I really wanted it so paid $5 more. The lady in front of me did the same although her husband said they already had one she wanted it anyways. Did I make a good purchase?

i know, right? I was gobsmacked!

wow .. Lin’s still making money for the Rockets?
I guess for $10 bobble-head, it’s good value better than Ebay price

but the audacity to sell more Lin merchandise .. I guess the positive is Lin’s still hugely popular

it’s okay .. we got millions of Lin fans feeling the same way =)

I was okay with McHale but then disliked his stereotyping. But I knew how despicable Kobe was after the Colorado rape trial. Now I really knew how paranoid he is. Crazy dirty politics of the NBA!

Haha! Maybe to Alex, Lin is a Rox …. LOL! I think he will try everything he can to get Lin back. W Lin wants to win now maybe w win the ring will sell well to Lin?! But so far, I really thing Lakers is still front runner for Lin. If only Rox & Lakers, I prefer Rox even I hate Mc & Morey. Harden too.

Yes yes yes, I want one too! I’ll go check rox’ store.

hot mess next year, fur shures.

barely caught the end, Lin and AR saying bye, ^_^
thanks and night.

“there is a large group of sycophants who remain here and upvote whatever nonsense she posts.” So you’re calling ppl who upvote her sycophants? Look, I upvote ppl who I agree with or who present an opinion which open minded people can view as a different thought or thinking outside the box.
I made a comment which I was called out for and given the rules of this forum (no, it wasn’t Joyce). When I visited this site the next day, someone said the same thing I wrote but was not called out. Mind you, I was upset but just shrugged it off.

yeah they were just chilling out like regular friends. Just playing games like anyone would do with their friends. JLin is just like any other friend you might have. Just a down to earth dude.

Yes, you made a good purchase. I bought my Lin Knicks & Rockets bobble head from a sports vendor. At the beginning of the season, I asked them about a Lin Lakers bobble head and they said no Lakers bobble head. Maybe the manufacturer knew Lin would be there for 1 season. lol The Knicks bobble head was sold out & had to wait for the next shipment.

Lin’s helping team defense is the good news for Mavericks but Mark Cuban seems to make basketball decisions out of this planet.

Lin’s like, ” You’ll see. I can finish them all. Let’s take a photo first”

April 15 has come and gone. Now it’s June 4 that seems so distant. And July 1 seems like an eternity.

That’s true, Jeremy shouldn’t consider any of those teams at all, moreso being a back up PG. I’d rather see him in a small market being a starter & a leader coz’ I know he’s capable of leading any team as contender with proper support around him.

ignoring all the talk about rondo, smith, howard: the SIGNIFICANT VARIABLE for the rockets is–“did harden get double digit fta’s”?

of yes. rockets are almost unbeatable. if no; they are just a struggling for 8th seed team.

just look at the boxscore see if harden got above his 3 year average of just below double digit fta’s and you will know the outcome.

Looking at it now. Kinda disgusted at the amount of FTs Harden got. Rockets’ inside power isn’t even an elite level but Tyson surely got beaten there. Add to that Mavs’ horrible bench; Cuban absolutely forgot that one of the key factors why they won the championship over Heat was because of their bench.. then he gutted it to get Rondo.

where’s the guy on here who was rondo only hater? was he banned by marshall jw before she took off her badge to more easily go hunt down boyd crowder? (errr some other outlaws)?

anyway, for whoever is interested if not yet reported: here’s all the latest rondo news:

Carlisle banished him to the bench, choosing Raymond Felton over Rondo in the fourth quarter. Everything’s pushing Rondo closer to his inevitable free-agent fleeing to the Lakers this summer. As long as the coach is back, Rondo’s gone, sources told Yahoo Sports. The parting could be mutual. Yahoo! Sports –

Around Rondo, the energy is toxic. The Rockets’ and Mavericks’ interests intersect everywhere, including with the trade pursuit for Rondo in December. Rondo’s agent never wanted Rondo in Houston, partly because it would’ve cost another client, Patrick Beverley, his job and payday to re-sign with the Rockets this summer. In the end, the Rockets kept bidding on Rondo to try to push the price higher for the Mavericks, which was ultimately unsuccessful. Yahoo! Sports –

At this point, Carlisle really has no motivation to massage Rondo’s ego. They won’t be together much longer before they reach a mutual decision to part ways this summer, when Rondo enters free agency. Carlisle can only care about giving Dallas its best chance to pull off an upset in this series, and the overwhelming evidence from the first two games is that Rondo isn’t part of the solution. ESPN.com

When Rondo realized his run with the Celtics was over this year, he planned to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer, league sources told Yahoo Sports. He expected a maximum contract. Once Dallas made the trade, he was open to re-signing with the Mavericks – only there are no max contract offers for Rondo on the market. Not in Dallas, nor Los Angeles. He’s played his way out of that payday – not just this year, but since that terrible ACL injury two years ago. Yahoo! Sports

Rajon Rondo looped around the media horde surrounding his stall late Tuesday night in the Toyota Center visitors’ locker room and darted into the trainer’s room. A couple of minutes later, Rondo emerged with headphone buds in his ears and ignored the handful of reporters who attempted to ask him questions as he walked toward the arena’s exits, his eyes never shifting from straight ahead. ESPN.com –

Perhaps surprisingly, there were no postgame fireworks between Carlisle and Rondo, multiple sources told ESPNDallas.com. The coach and point guard had infamous expletive-laced exchanges on Feb. 24, the first occurring during a timeout after Rondo walked the ball up the floor and ignored Carlisle’s play call midway through the third quarter, the second coming in the locker room after Rondo watched the rest of the Mavs’ comeback win over the Toronto Raptors from the bench. ESPN.com –

In this instance, however, Carlisle simply called the team together in the middle of the locker room and said a few quick words. Rondo and Carlisle didn’t say a word to each other. There was no outright hostility. Just a lot of awkwardness. ESPN.com –

Cuban traded away the bench for Rondo who should be banned from the league.

I want to write off the age of the roster, but I’m alarmed about one thing – DEFENSE. Mavs inside power is..well.. no further comment. Saying their perimeter defense is ok is putting it very kindly. Looking at the box score, it’s Rockets’ offense that won this game.

Thanks for the info!
It’s a good news to me. Really hope Rondo will go to LA and leave one open spot for Lin.

https://twitter.com/ZachLowe_NBA/status/590871711932874753

So many of us scratched our heads thinking “what’s so great about Rondo?”

I guess NBA business is just cutthroat

No, I don’t want Rox to win bc that means they will go to Western Conf. final…. NO NO NO. If so Harden will likely to get his MVP. smh!

It’s infinately better than watching a tanking Lakers game. A lot more free time to do other stuff.

Next year with KB and Rondo, it will be black and blue all the time. Lol

I think w Randle comes back next season. I really not sure Davis can get playing time as he wish. I hope he & Lin both will be out of Lakers.

https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/590929834999734272

I think you’re right. That’s why he said he doesn’t have to start in place of Randle but wants to finish games.
Deep down he should know that his PT would be limited under BScott who hates PnR.

I think Rondo has left the building on the Mavericks..LOL

great stuff. great that ed is speaking out about what he wants, while others are begging to come back

Brooks seemed to do a good job. Maybe one of the superstars was behind this one if true.

Hmm….Scotty Brooks as top candidate for Denver and Orlando. I hope MDA is not out of the picture. It would be funny if MDA gets hired in OKC. But, OKC doesn’t need a PG.

For Trekkies….sorry, I am bored.

While his plans to join the Lakers may not have changed, Wojnarowski believes that his chances of getting a maximum contract this summer are gone thanks to his play in Dallas:

He expected a maximum contract. Once Dallas made the trade, he was open to re-signing with the Mavericks – only there are no max contract offers for Rondo on the market. Not in Dallas, nor Los Angeles. He’s played his way out of that payday – not just this year, but since that terrible ACL injury two years ago.

Everyone but Kobe will be released to sign Rondo. 2 man team is the new offensive strategy BS will employ

Opponents would have such an easy time defending Kobe / Rondo. They know Rondo can’t shoot and Kobe always shoots. Rondo’s defender can always be available to double on Kobe.

hm, MDA might be out of running in Denver? ORL is better if they’re interested

why? you just happen to drink smoothies? =]

If I can give 1 tip to the JLin team if they’re here, I’ll tell them to take pics of Lin bench-pressing 2 of his friends eating In-N-Out while signing a deal to be their spokeperson lol

Great news ! This means Carlisle doesn’t have to play Rondo in the rest of the playoff games, which gives hope for Mavs.

lol .. another explanation is playing Rondo = stabbing the back of all Mavs team

Rondo’s bad back – my favorite dubious excuse since Jeremy Piven left that play because he got mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi.
https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/590973220452372480

If the Lakers are still willing to offer Rondo a contract, it will be for a single year with an extra year team option that they have no intention of exercising. As far as the Lakers are concerned, next season will be Kobe’s farewell to the NBA retirement tour. If Kobe wants Rondo to hold his hand during that final year of tanking, fine. Once Kobe retires, Rondo will also be persona non grata.

if so let clarkson start

Rondo will be very motivated to try and rescue his career though. At this point, I think he may have put an end to his career as a starter in the NBA.

given this news on rondo and the fall of tony parker could this end up being a great free agency for lin. his stock is going up and up.

Oh wow. Parsons done too:

Yeah that’s the speed Kobe likes. Nice and slow.

true, Kobe likes Rondo since he’s the only ex-All Star that Kobe can still outplay and will pass to him =]

ouch, that wide-open 3 in the end is a whammy.
easily a 5pt swing

it looks like lins only being sighted offering his support to food vendors.

Wow! Carlisle sure hates Rondo. Cuban agrees w his decision.

don’t forget his impact to building larger fanbase and videogaming industry LOL

the man is a genius in reaching for more fans with FOOD.
Like, who doesn’t like them :]

LOL It’s a win-win for me if Rondo goes to Lakers and JLin goes to a playoff and a coach who believes in him team:-)

yup, it’s such a strong statement that Carlisle had to talk to Cuban and be equally outraged about Rondo’s unprofessional attitude last night.

Rondo is nothing like his mentor KG in this matter. KG would still give 200% of effort

yeah, I didn’t expect the meltdown to happen so soon =)

but now Kobe might be hesitant to bring Rondo in since he’d get the blame for it

I remember one of the game, Rondo cursed Carlise eff-off in front of the camera and all the people during time out and i knew that is the end of the relationship! So no surprise of this outcome!

perhaps you can try to call in one radio show .. ask why Rondo is not a good fit & how upcoming FA like Jeremy Lin might be a better fit?

throw a little bone =)

Lakers will not want to take the player that Mavs don’t want. Lol I respect Rick Carlisle.

No, they would be lucky to make the playoff in the competitive Western Conf. Dallas isn’t going to be making any waves for long time. The players are too old.

I thought the regular season MVP is determined by regular season performance only?

Note: #Mavericks gave up Jameer Nelson, Jae Crowder, Brendan Wright, a 1st-round pick & a 2nd-round pick for Rondo. https://t.co/ngLoWAaPWc— Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) April 22, 2015

Carlisle is keeping it real. Rondo is done with the Mavs

Sounds like a bargain! LOL

The really sad thing is they could have traded for Lin without giving up much at all. For Rondo, they gave up three players and 2 draft picks.

It’s not really BS’ fault that Lakers suc*ed this season because Lakers had to tank, even if BS is not well received here.

Possible?

http://www.interbasket.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Jeremy-Lin-NBA-summer-league-sm.jpg

Stock is higher now for Lin to be a Mav. Dallas lost theirs picks in Rondo trade.

Think Mavs fans are any better than Houston fans? Same state. Houston wasn’t a very Asian-friendly town and I didn’t care for their press regarding Lin.

good and bad fans are everywhere. Texas is a big state.

KB will still like him. He is a “star.” Who else will want to play with him and BS??? Only players have no team to go.

Tell me how crazy this is.

we will wait chill with the mavs talk. still 2 months away

68 days to FA. WOW! So many dramas since playoffs began. More are coming:-) Had a hard time to keep up:-)

Glad to see that JLin is enjoying his much deserved “holiday” before going back to restricted diet and training:-) Hope he will announce his Asia tour soon. At least then we have something to look forward to:-)

And if you put Kobe and Rondo together on the same team you get a synergistic effect. The Lakers will be like a supertanker.

It’s around what happened to Rondo.

bad back or stabbed in the back?
sore back or sorehead?
bad back or we dont want you back?
chandler parsons out with wounded knee/ rondo out with wounded pride?

Mavs will not make any waves for several years. Players too old.

No, they had to suc* this badly for other reasons.

Not sure how much better they will be but at least after the Rondo debacle, you’d hope they’d appreciate the work ethic and attitude of Lin.

Imagine Kobe / Rondo and Byron Scott? He will break his own worst Lakers record next season. I don’t care who they get in the draft.

…and the choice was made.

I am done with the LAL if Lin goes to other team, but if these three BS/KB/RR playing together then i will watch the train wreck for LOL!

Oh i never watch those reality shows but i know it will be so much fun watching these three KB/BS/RR, it will be must watch train wreck fun!

I think if he’s played to his strengths and allowed to play his game with a competent coach and a decent team he will make fans anywhere. He hasn’t had that opportunity in the last 3 years.

Nice to see the raw stats have J at starter level. Add in the factors you mention that have depressed his numbers and its nice ammunition for promoting his exceptional capacity. Of course most fans, and so-called journalists as well, don’t go any farther than volume points, so this doesn’t necessarily affect dumb general opinion, but I suspicion it registers with FOs…especially after seeing his post-ASB play and hearing the kind of opposing-coach praise he’s gotten. FA speculation is off the charts…can’t wait to see who comes courting. Have the impatient heebie-jeebies!

JLin looks like 60 percent of a Maverick already

As long as Kobe is in the Rondo bandwagon, Rondo’s locked in to become a Laker next season… and the drama begins. Get the popcorn ready…

Go Kobe! Kobe likes Rondo because he has an alpha bad attitude. Kobe has issues.

What’s going on with Portland? And Conley is playing hurt, bad foot.

Barkley is saying when Lillard doesn’t score he doesn’t have a great impact on the game.. Lillard can be very clutch, but the more you watch a guy, the more holes you see in his game. Lillard isn’t as complete as other PGs.

Bad Rondo makes Kobe look good.
That’s why Kobe loves his Rondo

Ho hum, Rondo talk. Let’s talk about positive things. JLin … when does he get back to work ha ha? I guess vaca for 3 weeks?

We don’t really care that much about Rondo. It is the thought of Lin going to a competitive team in the Mavericks, reuniting with Chandlers, Tyson and to a lesser extent Parsons, and playing under Carlyle in a competitive team and likely strating. The only sore point is Monta but he may not stick around there.

Guard plays ain’t shabby either. Those double screens…actually triple since a Marc Gasol’s screen counts as two hahaha

Perhaps releasing Rondo will be a blessing in disguise for the Mavericks. First releasing Rondo frees up $12m+ cap space. Removing a cancer early ensure the healthy situation of the organization. Now the Mavericks can take a few bucks off $12m and adds it onto Monta Ellis contract to keep him. Next they can use the rest to sign a player of great work ethics and the most coachable player in NBA. Guess who?

https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/591071351550701570/photo/1

Mavs couldve used this type of defense on Josh Smith last night

Reggie is not smart, there is a good reason why Marco did not advance the ball to Patty Mill.

Ellis already announced that he will be opting out.

So happy Spurs is playing a lot better today. Hope they can win this game.

Parker seems to be slowing down. Lin to the Spurs would be great. Even if backing up Parker at first would eventually start.

Because he was defended.

I haven’t steadily watched SAS games, just watch the box scores … he has some monster games – example Denver, GSW, OKC. What happened last couple of weeks?

If he wants another ring… he wouldn’t mind being ran to the ground by an efficient PG

None on the current roster of Spurs guards can effectively replace Tony as a starter play maker. I know one free agent next season who can, who effectively shuts down Parker whenever they play against each other.

Diaw blew a wide-open layup. This Spurs team needs someone who can drive strong and finish in traffic to get FTs.
I bet someone in Southern Cal is probably thinking the same way as he’s watching and eating his Chipotle burrito

Someone there might be thinking who needs a PF to do that?

I’m sure Pop knows too and will be ready to set up a workout in the summer!

hehe.. just sayin’ the obvious

When Spurs starting 3s, it will be a blow out.

exactly

he remembered what he did last season

Not watching any game since JLin was DNP-CD:-) No idea what’s going on. Your post made me curious of what was going on. Checked the score board. WOW! Parker only had 1 pt with 0-5 and played 25:12 thus far:-)

I just love Duncan’s turnaround bank shot

24pts/8rebs/3asts/2stls with 8 min left!

I’d love to see JLinPrime play with the Big Fundamental for 1 season and 1 ring

Excellent coaching. all the weapons are sharp and well rested in the 4thQ except Duncan who played 32 mins but he didn’t rush the game and had some rest in between too. I guess he could still play more minutes.

Unbelievable shooting % from Duncan and Leonard.

Danny Green, Leonard and Patty Mills about 50% 3P shooting. I’m wrong. higher than that.

Hack that Jordon.

hehe … remember when Duncan picked up Lin off the floor while his Rockets teammates just let him be?
It’ll be great team camaraderie all season long!

LOL .. Redick technical FT stayed up there for 1 min before rolling out
I’ve never seen that before

here we go .. Pop ordered Hack-A-Deandre

ankle and thigh they said

manu 6 fouls

how they gotta bunker down, really need to play good D.

Thank God Barns missed the 2nd FT.
Go Spurs!

GSW have needed Lin instead of Livingston, and now SAS is thin on Gs.

Big block by Timmy. SAS needs to go on a run and they got this. Hard to play on the Clippers home court.

Parker and Manu are injured so often nowadays

oh NO!

With Manu and Parker out, only Duncan and Kahwi can create shots but there’s no ball movement now
Not looking good as Clippers increased the defensive pressure

yep, maybe maybe. Honestly, I don’t wanna see Lin at Mavs. SAS who knows.

OT!!!!! Spurs needs a playmaker now, a potent playmaker

yur bf?

Chipotle-man? ;]

Yep….

right, too many min for Duncan.

Diaw must lose weight to compete.

He had missed a big shot to lose to OKc last season.

LOL Green being JLin.

Duncan!

I love CP3’s turnover, lol

I can’t believe Duncan made that flat shot!

really love this guy, at 39 still one of the top forwards.

hahaha… SPurs team game & execution will win this game!
That long pass from Kahwi to Mills is so classic Spurs!

that was a switch up with Duncan stretching and messing with CP’s step back.

That last Spurs basket is very fundamental, yet effective.

Awesome execution.

And an amazingly bad D from a dirty player

They executed so beautifully in OT.
Clippers had hiccups a few times. That’s the real difference 😀

jj had space and time to settle that shot. KL would have flown by.

He rushed it.

Clutch FTs by Mills. He’s big in this game.

Definitely.

great coaching, great team experience. And I’m so impressed with Mills being able to step up when needed. He can be cold.

Big 3 by Reddick but I think SAS gets fouled, makes their FTs and it is over.
