G40 CLE @ LAL Game Thread

2nd

Where is everyone else??? No take as we know we are going to see limited JLin plays again??? Let’s see which team is going for another loss. Personally my evil Melody would like to see Lakers loses big and JLin plays well:-)

It’s not evil if you’re wishing justice.

Im here 😀

Its fine for me, might be some caching issue

Yes it goes viral in Twitter and FB:-)

Good. Are you going to watch the game marine?

Haha, gave me a good laugh.

RFLOL. Didn’t see Lin in it though. Disappointed in that.

I have the same issue.

haha. Didn’t even see that on my phone. Duh

The Lakers probably need to be at least .56 to get into playoffs in the west. Which means they need to be 46-36. They are 12-27 now so they have to be 34-9 starting from today. Anyone think this is probable? No! So like Magic said, they will play to lose the rest of the way to make the most out of this season. Expect any illogical or dumb rotation by BS because that’s really just logical.

ROFL I missed that!

It is sickening to see the hustun rockets get to play shorthanded teams. Lucky bastards

Yes… we are waiting to see what the bs liar will do

Kobe and Price starting lineup doing stellar tanking work as is, no need for further adjustment…

Lol, our #17 popped up at least twice!!

A word comes to my mind when I thought what he would say as I know he will just continue his inventive excuses: Narcissism

Then I just realized it is an insult to that word.

he loves price forget about it

Let’s go, OLin! =)

As in OLaf?

Edit: Didn’t see the pic.

It’s not me. It’s in the Youtube video LOL

BluBelLin, the real Queen of Lin puns!

I think the Youtube video maker is trying to send a message.

Kobe was making a magical frozen ice basketball then passing it to ‘OLin’ as you can see on the back jersey of Olaf 😀 (see snapshot below)

It could be saying Kobe should be handing over the magic to OLin now!

OMG, I think Jeanie & Jim should fire him now… how could he say so? smh!

my boy lin going to have a fantastic season post all star break mark my words

I read somewhere said why he rest Kobe bc Kobe wants to retire in high point…? If so right now it’s the best timing.. LOL!

i’m looking forward for today’s game…maybe too high of a hope from me 🙂

Why is no one surprised? LOL

40/15/8

That is good news,

Lol I just watched Frozen last night…

Very active..

A little off topic here, but looking ahead to the Feb 1 game at Knicks. I live in the NYC area and fans here are ripping into Knicks ownership, FO and coach. I can’t wait to hear the Knicks fans at the game chanting “We want Lin, We want Lin”!!!

hm, maybe BScott will be given direction to play Lin 36min for a trade bait LOL

Why Beverley ???

Ya! That’s what I thought…? from his haircut looks like the first game vs Rox?

I am more interested abiut the content

who ever made this video…I just want to say…I love it ang thanks.

Talk about his D?! Do they have this magazine every month?

Maybe this is why BS is so looney this season
http://www.tmz.com/2015/01/15/byron-scott-divorce-wife-demands-baller-lifestyle-i-cant-live-without-my-gucci/?adid=hero1

Ya! Watched 1st Q only… can’t believe how bad they played today? Plus Rox 3P shooting is good tonight so… smh!

its a good game though…KD and JH going at each other

3 mins game time left in OKC-Rox game – which means another 15 mins real time left. SMH.

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/555932526510759936

Ok now guys, let’s do our best in acting surprised. LOL

Oh-oh, Reggie Miller on broadcast. Lin hater.

Still better than Stu

weeks ago

April 2012-2013 average, 34.7min, 6.9ast, 17.3 points as
the starter for the Rockets.
Hope he lit it up from the bench tonight with a great game.

Thx! Guess the only player Ive concerned is Lin.. 🙂

cavs killing it

JR Smith can replace partially Ray Allen’s success for Lebron. JR is lucky to go from a bottom of he league to a “contending” team.

double digit lead for Cavaliers.
Go Cav.

Bench mobs fight.. 🙂

cavs are shooting 72 percent lol nice defense

Lin coming in, on the side lines = BS wants to win against Lebron and Cavs for Kobe.

https://twitter.com/IdoAmir/status/555938750149042176

Price should be going out after shooting his foul shots, got pushed hard to the ground, ouch LOL. OK maybe not until after 3 minute mark. =/

Diva gets all the attention.Diva needs no votes.

first DNP-CD for Lin?

How much? What if you pay the money and realize lin is only showing on the cover and no where found in the magnizine. Haha

ya…back to cleaning out the freezer

He’s on the side lines with his jacket, should be coming in with or before Nick Young.

no he is not

What? I could’ve sworn he was sitting on the sidelines seconds ago, false alarm sorry ><"

yep

since pre season, thats BS’s agenda

Looks like it. He’s playing a little bit better today. Which is to say 2ft, 1ast and 1rb so far. Please note the heavy tone of sarcasm.

really?? -JLin is DNP-CD…

Kobe got touch today, so BS will play him 40min.

Now Lin is coming out 36.8 seconds left 1st quarter! Bs coach!

this is a game lin might as well get dnp-cd. kobe is going to hog for the assist records now. even when kobe’s not scoring, he’s going to be selfish for something else.

I am expecting Lin to have 16 min…..it will be lucky if he can get 10min at this rate

Lin needs to speak up
He is obviously being mistreated
his last interview was like oh we have to play with more intensity and all

4 months left just wait it out

That’s not nice to say. But he’s a cancer himself for the Lakers…

season end april 15

Does anyone in LA know whether people at staples have in jlin? As in like its fun to watch when he gets it on? Or do they just think hes a scrub? To us its obvious… when he gets a chance to do his thing then well we know.

play him more

30 30 excellent defense

Play anyone but lin

3333333333333333333

Swish!

3333333333

Gr8 start !! Lin..

Love in? Wow C starters playing against LAL bench

Yes,Lin is swaggggggg!

More arc in his shot now. Much better.

Lin’s happy to play against a great player like Lebron, giving his best for the game and happy, having fun! Great!! Just keeping shooting!!

What took KB the full qtr to do…JLin took half the time…

JLin, be strong and courageous. Keep your smile!

Blame khuang. He puts the idea in BS’s head. *jkjkjkjk* (⌒▽⌒)

BS told Lin to stop shooting

Of course Scott calls the play for nick

LOL Lin raised his hand and wanted to take the foul for Black but not happening.

Can’t watch, but GoLin!

Showcase jeremy

Assist!

Tonight i didnt hear STUpid as commentator! My ear is a lot happier! LOL!

Man, Young always does the stepback so Lin doesn’t get assists from him! <.<

Cavs look slow

Same here, no STUpid commentator, makes the game so much more enjoyable. They don’t mention Lin but at least they aren’t hating on the Asian guy! SMH

Dude Lin, don’t listen to Scott keeping shooting for your stats!!!

Bogus foul on Lin!! Opps nevermine!! On Black!! Pheww!!

so everyone is PG now? BS just does not want Lin to shine

They “WANTED” to give Lin that foul, and Lin looked at them like What THE BEEP?!!

young is shooting no matter what

Cave tied on Lin for that play.

I think JLin just caused a LBJ TO

Iggy made him dumber

LOL can’t play bad against the Asian guy, plus Lebron knows who’s the best player and defender on the team and it’s not Kobe LMAO.

Bench JLin. Can’t outshine head of snake!

Lin kept patting him on the butt between FTs so he’s confused if Lin is friend or foe LOL

BS wants to win this game for Kobe vs Lebron rivalry. New King vs Old King!!

Once lin gets 7pts…Scott….will

but I believe he has BS blessing to do so

….explode

That’s been pretty consistent, at least 2 to 3 each game.

https://twitter.com/ianeBeE/status/555944550934786049

Note box score very slow, Lin has 2 assist already according to play by play!!

Lin please keep shooting!!

Finally come to his senses and keep Lin for 30 min tonight!

Lucky chucker

lin will be out soon

I’d even take Clarkson over Young, who might share ball a bit more?

After the break man lol

Lin you know youre sitting soon but still passes to Swaggy
thats not team play or following coach’s instruvtion anymore
thats just pure stupidity

Can you imagine Young, Clarkson, & Randle all playing at same time — plus a 38 yrs old Kobe next year?

Let Lin play his game.

https://twitter.com/jlinforum/status/555946314484428800

Lets enjoy the bench cam 🙂

Because hill finally ran back..he thought the big will switch back

how was that not a foul for lin?

Solid coaching as always… not

You can vent at the other site.

u can go back to lakersground
cuz Lin deserves better

Why does Lin listen to BS when it’s obvious he’s being marginalized?! Just ignore him and look for his own shots!!

Missed the dunk n missed the FTs.. 🙁

Lebron is not taking this game seriously, missed the dunk.

price getting a lot of calls today

Well seem like JLin is going to play less than 15 minutes. Min lower and lower each game:-(

Hes been DNP-CD 4 a long while thou..

What transition defense?

I’ve always been agaisnt tweeting at Jeanie Buss but this is it imma curse her the fk out

DNP-CD will come sooner than we think, we have to brace for it, BS is going to do it as per Kobe or FO’s order.

Lin wants to play, even it is 10 min per game…..

Because he is Lin!!

Dude there’s no point! She can’t do anything, Jim Buss is in charge of basketball operations for remaining 3 yeras! Kobe is still going to be there for 2 years and they need to protect their “old franchise”

Dont use the word stupid on Lin, no respect!
I know for sure he is a lot smarter than you

we can’t do anything about it, sorry folks, NBA has done it again, no Linsanity 2.0…..Lin is just a scrub.

lin is totally killing in the little time he’s given. im not hoping for anything, reality is bs wishes lin never played. the lakers still suck,

I think that is prefered

Why?

Only way JLin gets to play is if Price is in foul trouble or breaks his nose.

kobe would stop for a white girl…sorry if joke is too racy for families lol

Nose won’t do it knee or ankle maybe.

im not angry. how can u get angry at something that you already know will happen? i just laugh at how mad they must feel that lin plays good in the little time they try to play him to make him look bad..look price get burned, lakers suck..i laugh

with patience… I’m just waiting for Chronos to visit

nah achillies

I must say Kobe is passing pretty well this game. He might end up with 20 assists.

lin comes in the latest, gets pulled out first.. lakers

or BS is really afraid of Kobe being mad at him for not restrict Lin

oh how noble
all i can thik of is how i wud torture Byron and make him suffer both physically and mentally

what

What are the chances Kobe and Price will both drop like flies this game due to over playing to prove themselves?

What’s going on with Ellington?

Either getting ready for trade or, in the doghouse. I think it’s the later.

Not really…I think it was pretty even

This is one of Kobe’s best games. He’s playing very well.

Yes. And he’s shooting pretty well. Must be the National TV. 15+ assists against any team is pretty good.

https://twitter.com/IdoAmir/status/555950262964068352

Agreed. I guess he wanted to show LeBron that he can still play.

He hasn’t played bad, considering his mins. I’m guessing trade.

Did the marginalization of Lin start after that incident when Kobe told Lin to “get the f… out of the way”?

91 days……..Lin will be out from this ugly organization

https://twitter.com/aymchat/status/555949265495670788

He was not aware and was ball watching..

Bs chooses his players based on subjective like and dislike. Nothing to do with quality play. That is why he will never beva good coach

Lin don’t wanna play with Bryant either..=)

I think it was a little after that… but pretty close.

Kenny and Chuck needs to speak the truth about this mistreatment!!!!

Am I allowed to call Kobe names now?

Who wants to play with Kobe?

Jeremy is trying to convert Nick… say no to hogging 🙂
https://twitter.com/kianainhi808/status/555947836412411904

they probably just say Kobe reinvents himself as PG and Lin is out of the running for the PG job

What’s their face expression? Mad or not? I turned off the TV when Lin was not on… smh! I am mad.

Calm down everybody, this is Hollywood. This is the LBJ/Kobe rematch and everybody else is insignificant. Trust me, there are scouts in the Laker audience and they like what they see from Lin. Remember the contending teams are looking for assets to shore up their bench. Scouts know that lin is being marginalize. so i refuse to get caught in kobe/scott’s drama anymore. i will just follow lin and watch things unfold.

I think Scott did it on purpose to limit Lin & Young’s playing time… Even Kelly played more min than Lin & Young?!

Exactly. National TV show. What’s bigger than that in this entertaining business. Just looked at the rigged TNT vote.

No, we’re disappointed and want to be entertained. Lakers have no future with kobe. Lin has no future there imho.

Lin/Young are the two players that are getting the press from Laker office. If you notice, they are still handing out the Lakers magazine with Lin on the cover. Also lin had 96% of the cam votes. This is not going unnoticed by the F/O. So let LBJ/Kobe have their little show down because nobody cares because both their teams have the worst record in the league. It will just be one more kudo to massage kobe’s ego.LOL

I have a short commute home. I get in the car, Lin is in. I get home and he is already benched. I better not go to the bathroom in the second half or I’ll miss Lin completely tonight.

https://twitter.com/SerenaWinters/status/555953324990550017

Kobe will choke in the 4th quarter. Always does.

And Lakers bench was against Cavs starters for a chuck of time.

LOL, nice one

Even if Kobe goes out, Price will still get to start, rather wish Price out!!

For those of you with kids. You can point to kobe as to how not to act. Thank goodness jeremy lin exists. At least the jlin of today.

Brick is the name of the game, keep bricking guys, I’m talking to you KB, NY, RP

Lol

Just glue urself on the sofa..ha

what if im the kid

Price slashes to the basket, and …

Bring ur toilet out into living room. .. duh

I do
they will prolly just ignore him thou

Learn from lin. To give is better than to receive.

https://twitter.com/CNM_JLin_Vids/status/555955397618855936

Only in 9 states?

And now a badly missed 3.

as always

Some people are just pure hating on Lin
“Lin is garbage”
“Why does Lin still have a job in this league”
I dont know what game they are watching
If I actually meet them in person I will try my best to beat them up
just ridiculous
I once insulted my friends mother because he was calling Lin out
and most of the haters are…black i dont know why but just a trend

how? =)

Kyrie just left Price on the dust

Sure enough, Lakers loses the lead, as planned.

Since he’s been benched that’s kind of the way I’ve been judging his game. He’s doing well so far.

Several times already with no screen, just embarrassing!!

Price has 3 fouls, hope he gets 2 more!!

LAL may go after Bev off season as starting “PG”, he does much better job than Price LOL

he’s gonna try too hard to compensate and hurt himself.
It’s BScott’s responsibility if that happens

love him no matter what.

This is true

Let’s be serious; Bev does a lot better job than Price. I am not even putting up Bev when I say Bev is twice the player that Price is. Bev can actually make those corner 3s.

they think they own the nba or something. insecurity coming out.

Still the precious head of the snake.

His arms wave higher.

They were double teaming Price and I was like, he’s not Lin guys LOL.

yikes
its just one asian guy so unneccesary

No defense, Kyrie and Hill cancelling each other out with 18 points LOL. No wonder the Cavs are so bad!!

https://twitter.com/IdoAmir/status/555957286057693184

and commentator was saying Hill is a much underrated player LOL

Bench time

Cavs don’t look like a team at all.
Kyrie with 5 TOs already

Lin is IN

lets push the lead now

but Kobe is still in so … yeah not getting any ball soon

You will see Lin play for 7 or 8 minutes for around 14 minutes.

Lol, lin in kobe starts shooting not passing

Kobe 15 asts? wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

at least he is passing

They only have one legit star, the other two are only good for stats and shows who have never carried their teams to the playoff.

Lin better shoot! Don’t pass to Kobe, forget the insecure ego maniac!

Hill makes jump shots

Yes Kobe OUT!!

in our wildest dreams lool

Lin 2-3 5pts 2assts in 7min
Price 1-5 5pts 1assts in 26min

Kobe and Scott really doesn’t like Lin…

LOL Lebron and starters playing mostly against the bench?!

I say keep kobe in. Tire him out.

too late

So Lin only gets in with leftover minutes….

14-16 minutes for lin

we notice that! 🙂

again…CAV Starters vs. LAL Bench

STRONG DRIVE LIN

Lin no pass – bench, Lin scores- bench, Lin taking over – DNPCD, Lin sucks – stays on court, which one you prefer?

finally good FTs

Did lin made both?

Jeremy please dont go into Linsanity mode, you will be benched and led to DNP-CD

He’s always mad

I would enjoy some linsanity right now

young 2-7

Lin scores- bench

whynt u shoot Lin? jesus

Put Ellington in for Young.

lol look at BS shaking his head and being a little girl after lin passed it to butterfinger boozer

BS, don’t shake your head. It is your quarter Princeton offense that causes the TO. Too predicable.

I thought Lin was trying to pass to Boozer, but the pass was too strong. It was neither this nor that.

https://twitter.com/shahanLA/status/555960256342130689

Hidden Agenda….just to make JLin looks bad….

yah i overreacted

He got kelly and black

Welp, 4th qtr time. Enjoy 6 more min with JLin

i like kelly too but this is extreme

i think even prior to those 2 coming in to lineup, Ellington time had been reduced

STRONG DRIVE LIN X2

Yes Lin to the rim!!

Uh oh 😛

https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/555961824386895872

LAL has no solution for LBJ

1 more point

had high hopes! sigh!

HI RIRI

bye riri

Only reason Cav will win is because of LeBron.

GOOD D BY LIN ON LEBRONIE

Yeah.

that was a bad 3secV to

They went for zone defense

or a steal for one-man fastbreak!

Lin just needs to take the shot even when doubled!

Zone d

Lin played pretty well this game given his minutes. Maybe he could have scored 2 more points, but that’s it.

I saw that but what was Young’s excuse lol

dude lin played excellent in his minutes…10 mins is not really 10 mins…swaggy hogged a bit too much too..he had sporadic chances..converted on most..

Go jeremy!

ohh ok

https://twitter.com/IdoAmir/status/555963261619679233

Ronnie and Kobe both on the bench and both still tied for team lead in minutes at 26 min.

NIce!

What a great assist by Lin and Black to finish! And-1!

Deja vu! Black again

Kobe has 26 min. He should enter at 6min to reach 32

Lin was not at the position

That was BS.

That was a charge. Correct call.

And game over…

No it wasn’t. Love’s left foot was on the restricted arc.

I want Kobe too, to shoot the last shot before losing the game.

Barely tuned in and Lin looked good from like the 2-3 mins I seen him play.

If there’s OT, will Byron play Kobe more than 32 min?

At least NBA noticed Jeremy’s nice pass.
https://twitter.com/NBA/status/555964889668128768

lin did excellent in 15 mins..amazing actually..the charge was lin trying to take one last shot because he knew he would be subbed out..still great agressive move. eff bs..if lin didn’t attack he’d still be taken out…lin did great..lost because lebron is too good

So, how many minutes is that total for Lin?

15

15

yep

Crazy times we live in

Can Byron Scott just fking die already

Well I presume it will be 12 minutes in this game. Glad JLin did well with the minutes that he played.

Time to go to the bed guys. Don’t forget to vote for Lin in ASG !

reminds me of those mchale benchings on nationally televised games…

Insanity….

but the bench played bad today, except Lin…they lost the lead

Lebron James

lol true

sorry the frustration is real

Lebron is so much like a bigger Lin.

Unless Lin gets to guard Lebron, then he goes 0-2, scoreless!

https://twitter.com/jas83j/status/555965821659258880

I have had it with these god damn snakes on this god damn team

relax, he will surely go that path one day…..

Just saw ree play, Kevin love foot was on the restricted line

No his heel,was not..

Lol Kobe TO, and a really big reach by Kobe (no call)

https://twitter.com/ajRAFAEL/status/555963503547531264

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/555965693003169793

well

nick is like harden falling down on 3s all the time looking for fouls

HAHAhahahaha….

far far away

We are all deceived by KB’s friendly gesture towards Lin during the earlier part of the season. Very few sees it coming….

He got Uncle Drew’d.

That is RESPECT…

Kobe with 16 assist with the ball in his hands every play and moving slow. Kobe became the new Kendall Marshal

lol

Did anybody see that Lexus commercial? Dude looked a lot like Paul Walker!

ya thats been around for a while now..

true, the best thing he can do it to keep good stats w/ high efficiency so teams know he’s underutilized.
Just need to stay healthy and wait his chance.

Trade would be good, I think since new interested team will utilize him more

Off to bed I’m going too, no Lin no watch. So much BS. sweet dreams everyone.

was that Harden?

Almost another TO. This rotation is nothing new. Just very very TO prone

young finish game 3-11

0 fouls on Kobe, only player playing 0 defense throughout the game!!

What’s next? It should only getting better if this is the worst we are seeing here. Hm…truly unexpectable season.

I take it Silver Screen & Roll are not Price fans.

Wouldn’t know. Haven’t watched tv for some time. I catch these games once in awhile lol

Defense specialist Price hurts the team again. Price 5pts 1assts in 27mins Irving 22pts 3assts in 35mins.

yep it was over at 4 minutes left

19 year veteran with 5 rings no need to defend, full support from LA’s top to bottom, no worries. Is KB qualify to be a HOF?

Good execution Scott! 1 down 42 to go!

Watch Kobe take all the shots now

Price is so great that he’s out during crunch time LMAO.

3-12

whos counting? haha

Ya! But he is close out the game? smh!

makes sense…tank and let kobe do a farewell tour…

BS thinks nick can turn hot any time. its so funny

Not sure how many of us here are hoping LAL to lose this game?

I am. Hope they make the shot.

all

I was hoping for OT.

Lakers fans did that all the time.. no big deal!

And this is why Scott lets Young on the court… Kobe’s orders.
https://twitter.com/SerenaWinters/status/555969932706320385

Kobe is the driver and nick is ms daisy

haha me too. like exercising, i keep saying i’ll start next time.

I mean is he sitting on the bench or not there at all?

I saw it coming 3 seasons ago!

When Lin was on the Knicks, I was writing that I didn’t want Lin playing on a Kobe team.

I wrote for the last three seasons that Kobe would never let Lin touch the ball and would scream at Lin for mistakes made by others.

I was right then and I’m right now.

he seem to be pissed by the fact he is showing zero interest in the game

a lot of activity yet zero impact

LOL

He’s like a lazier Beverley

Of course everything it’s from Kobe… smh!

Lin’s a stand-up guy.
Noone can blame him for being a great teammate

I will never respect Kobe Bryant the way I respect Michael Jordan. They are miles apart…..not even close, specially after how he treats a good person in Lin.

well mj wasn’t good at treating people as well

Chronic sleep deprivation staying up watching these west coatst games not worth it. I’m done with it. Back to watching DVR version and fast forward the non Lin bits.

I was about to point that out! Lol

Aw.. didn’t work today :/

but still KB is the worse one…

See Lin, how hard is it to just stop and pull up for a 3 pointer like Young? Just shoot more and pass less, cause people won’t respect you unless you get high PPG average!

But Michael Jordan knew when he crossed the line of bad behavior.

Besides, Michael Jordan had so much more game than Kobe.

Me!

well they already dont respect him

stop putting your insecurities on him…smh

Please people know that lin is being marginalized because of kobe.

Lebron > Kobe

for those two, they dont really care that much about who wins this one. its just a one-on-one fun mini game for them.

com’on give up…

Ya! So glad Cav won!!!

is LAL trading Ellington? DNP?

I don’t think that is true, they are more afraid than anything. Lin has proven he is no scrub. Anyway who care about Scott/ Kobe. Lin will be long gone when kobe finally gets re injured or his boy completely fails and Scott is fired and blamed for all of the Lakers woes.LOL

More like they tried to trade Hill.

what was ronnie mad about?

Who cares about him?

Lin played so few minutes that his offense and defense highlights are already up, opps nevermine.https:// http://www.youtube. com/channel/ UCM3cKJG-yHjy7bUrzY_GrvA

What you say applies to us West Coast fans too.

Even though the Lakers are in our time zone, the poor stagnant lazy Lakers play when Lin’s not on the floor causes us to sleep during the game.

NOT LIN’S CALL.

All he can do is maximize what few minutes he gets.

Oh the scrub mad he was benched during crunch? Good!! His head is getting too big, dude really thinks he’s the head of the snake!!!

heat lol

this is the wort mistreatment of Lin ive ever seen
im beginning to think Hou was fair to Lin
if he continues to be treated like this
Lin will be a career back up

Nope Christine channel only does JLin’s highlights. but I saw wrong, Heat uniform confused me haha.

Exactly
then why still play nice to these disgraceful animals

not closing the game

price was bench late so 27 minutes but not for lin

exactly but wish Lin had that in him too

OK. But still. What’s with Ellington? How is Byron allowed to get away with total incompetence out there?

Yeah, now Price will play 35 mins next game.

She is a die-hard Lin fan!!

https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/555974208031711232

They worthship Kobe to so long

Great milestone…one step at a time…

wow…JLin -12….Bsc has a mathematician whispering in his ears….

Did Lin honestly think that listening to BS and passing more would give him more minutes? He came out hot and should’ve just kept shooting!! Who cares what BS says, not like the hating and benching is going to change!! Lin needs to look out for himself!!

unbelievable, i guess swaggy is allowed to play because he sucks lately. only scrubs are allowed to play with kobe now to show how superior he is. if he’s a better leader and allow good players to shine along with him, they would have won a lot of games.

exactly eric bledsoe, collison
thats true
america is an ugly country
so many haters

yep

Pretty good for a guy who was suppose to have zero points in the NBA

Makes you wonder how many points JLin could have had if he got to shoot 13 times like Young.

Nice! .. I was hoping the JLinFoundation fundraising will be close to his total pts.
It’ll be close on 1/19 LOL

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/555976246849310720

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/555976378651123712

There has to be a lot of bruises on Kobe’s @$$.

The only reason I can think of for BS playing Young so much when he is doing so horribly is that Young is one of the only people on the team that is under contract for next season.

That’s true also Kobe agreed to help him out for his poor shooting.

No, it would be DISASTER if China took over.

The Chinese government would run the US into civil war within 2 years or less.

You better edit your comment

Ido Amir just unfollow @Lakers, I might as well unfollow mine too, just my small way to protest. LA you’re done, disgusting organization.

Its been tough 4 Lin since he demoted as a bench. He always devotes his efforts to the play althou its w/the limited time. Got half season left, still hope Lin’ll get his starters back. If not, just get traded 2 the new team. Stay healthy n root 4 him, These r what weve been doing.

Just relax guys. The NBA is a disgrace organization but let not carry away.

Oh, Kobe’s doing that only because Lin started it and Kobe wants to IMITATE LIN to get Lin’s success!

Unfollowed @SerenaWinters @LakersReporter @MarkG_Medina Nothing personal guys. Just not interested in @Lakers anymore Waiting for Lin exit— Ido Amir (@IdoAmir) January 16, 2015

Thumbs Up!

Ever since Lin said that he wants to get Nick Young going, Kobe now wants to do the same.

This is not about Kobe wanting to help Nick Young. This is strictly about Kobe trying to ONE UP LIN.

The problem for Kobe is that it’s NOT WORKING!

If Ellington could play point guard minutes, he’d be handed Lin’s role.

Look for Ellington to start tomorrow night (the DNP-CD guy tonight lol) at Utah with Ronnie Price dominating the ball to pad little impact assists like Kobe did tonight. Lin will only be in to let Price catch a breath on the bench.

At this stage I am convinced that BS is determined to phase Lin off the team. This could be his own idea or instructed by Kobe. After all, Kobe and BS are like the same person LOL. Kobe has completely shifted his focus into padding assists while dominating almost every Lakers offensive possessions when he is on the court. It worked tonight because the Cavs played NO DEFENSE and Hill was unconscious from outside but in the long run this is simply a recipe for disaster.

Lin is still trying to play the right way throughout this whole mess which is really admirable. He could have scored 13 points while perfect from the field with only one turnover if the refs didn’t cheat him blatantly AGAIN. Look, the refs were even bailing Price out repeatedly but Lin still got shafted all the time. At least we got to watch Lin managed to stop Lebron after Young and Kelly repeatedly failed to do so. Hopefully, at least one team took note of Lin’s dominant performance tonight and offered him a contract in the off-season so that Lin can escape this poisonous environment.

He WAS looking for those shots, but Lin was being BLUDGEONED out there with uncalled fouls to the point where he could not take those shots.

Stop hating on Lin when opponents bash him illegally.

It’s Scott’s idea, not Kobe’s.

Scott phases Lin out whether Kobe is playing or not.

i’m not saying in relative but as a whole, with that kinda production he should have been given more minutes

lol lin said pretty much when kobe is on I’m off so i got to see his assist

My initial thoughts after watching Lakers games, esp this last one… pic.twitter.com/sqfZGIWBMs— chat alvarado (@aymchat) January 16, 2015

Right on!

more like idc attitude

I think he knows Kobe did it on purpose to make him out of Lakers…

im 100 percent sure lin will not return to the lakers. pfv was way off

If FO doesn’t care about Lin then there’s nothing he can do. Point is Mitch and Busses care more about Kobe than develop Lin who’s a marginalized star player!

Good. I hate what Kobe did to Lin but I got another idea… Let’s who can stay longer in the team then… really hate Kobe.

Agree with you. Jeremy is going and I think he’s fine with it.

Lets hope he goes to an Eastern team or the Spurs!

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/555981885000536064

the idc attitude i saw last year with the rockets i saw it this game. not involve in the game while on the bench. very uninterested

they are already pitiful now. hope lin leaves this pitiful kobe team asap.

Kobe on possibility of being shutdown: "It's tough. I want to play, but I understand management's position." #Lakers— Bob Garcia IV (@bgarcia90) January 16, 2015

Wait … what did he mean by management’s position?! Is he out soon?

True

knicks have zero player would you be ok with lin going there. i still think lin needs a big market

Does BoB Garcia knows something is brewing ie shutting Kobe in stages ASAP?

Yup, major respect from LBJ and K-Love for knowing who the true starters were! Bench play most if not all of their minutes against the starters! Lets hope you’re right about FO but at this rate, Lin’s not staying in LA.

Carmelo Anthony…

It’s a lot better than w Kobe or Harden.

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/555983228092170241

I noticed some of the team were playing their starter against Lakers bench..

lol average 12 mpg

Only if Kobe + BS are out and what contract offer they will give him. But I doubt Lin can stand another year of Kobe + BS so he’s out.

Actually, the way Scott and Kobe are treating Lin makes it look more like that the Lakers are DONE WITH LIN and are already making space for next season’s max contract point guard.

see, he means he’s too old to carry such a sorry team. when he’s actually one of the weakest in the team.

This one is really cool

Too late.

Who is the “you guys”?

Oh Kevin Ding 🙂
https://twitter.com/KevinDing/status/555984110707941376

No, I think Mitch/F/O playing hardball with Kobe and he has nothing to bargain with. It is interesting when you are pushed into a corner. It is called the survival of the fittest. Mitch/Buss have 3 years to turn this team into contention before they are fired. Now Mitch is telling Kobe, it is you or me, and it;s not gong to be me., Mitch said i have lived to my end of the bargain, so it’s your turn. F/O realizes that nobody wants to come and play with him. So when he said I understand management’s position, it was more than him being shutdwon this season

yeah, sorry excuses, only his fans would really fall for it. the rest of the laker circle just pretend to fall for it.

Lin said : Pretty much everytime Kobe is on the court, I would be on the bench… (HINT that Kobe doesn’t want to play w/ Lin?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVCu4xefrLc

NO HE WOULDN’T.

The Kobe of 5 years ago would be playing just as poorly of the Kobe of today if he didn’t have max contract big men and Coach Phil Jackson protecting him.

The last time Kobe didn’t have his max contract big men was 2006
when Kobe forcibly ejected Shaquille O’Neal off the Lakers. Kobe barely got the Lakers into the playoffs and got kicked out in the 1st round. That was with Phil Jackson coaching, and Kobe did everything he could to undermine the team.

I prefer a contender in the east. Don’t care which except don’t want him to go back to NYK. Even if he gets 15 min PT he might just see the playoffs and get good experience. Not really sure which teams can get him though.

The MVP chants are set up to show FO that Kobe is needed? Otherwise why would BS mentioned it.

exactly

Hahaha. Coach BS making more BS.

reports are he will be at denver.

D’Antoni or Pops, I’m not picky. 😉

Frank, this is too much. I had a lousy night watching the game already and would not like to read this nonsense written from a Lin fan like you. Have some respect to that country please.

lol
https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/555987515149000704

He’s still better than BS and McHale…combined. BTW, what do you think of Brad Stevens?

I hoep all Lin fans will unfollow as well

https://twitter.com/Gadgetomi/status/555987702773190656

I think so. Kobe wants that extend contract so bad.. that’s why he & Scott were so mean to Lin bc they knew FO want Lin … Kobe didn’t want anyone to come & also plays well on court. If no one comes then Lakers have to sign him again. IMO, it’s all about extend contract $$$$$ that Kobe is against Lin.

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/555988746449870848

I’m surprised that many still don’t believe that the Lakers’ plan for this season is to tank and keep top 5 draft pick.

I guess you can kind of look at it this way. Lin is like the Lakers’ third string point guard now after Kobe (starter) and Price (backup) lol.

I have followed Popovich ever since he was nearly fired for constantly screaming at his nonsuperstar players while he tanked the Spurs so that they could draft Duncan.

I doubt that he’s any better than McHale or Scott.

Brad Stevens? Until he starts GETTING RESULTS, I won’t regard him as a real NBA coach.

The clueless way the Celtics play, it’s obvious that they’re underachieving for the talent they have. That’s a coaching problem, not a personnel problem.

I see no reason why Brad Stevens would be a good coach for Lin.

refresh… you’ll see screenshot.

LOL Then u shouldn’t watch Lakers game anymore:-) Few have decided stop watching Lakers game now.

Are they shopping for PG’s or it is the some of the Kobenites doing this. The Lakers had an opportunity to trade lin for Rondo earlier in the season, but they chose to try to sell Nash. Look I am not saying that the Lakers want Lin, butt I am saying that Scott is a liar and he tries to confuse the issue, like he is doing what the F/O wants, but many times it it his own doing. Ex. he states that he talked to Mitch/Vitti that he was going to shut kobe down for the rest of the season, then he comes back the next day and says that the management doesn’t want to shut kobe down, and now it’s kobe saying that I understand the management’s position. So Scott gives off this false bravado like he is speaking for the Lakers F/O when he really isn’t. I said all of this to say, that I will wait and see how everything pans out.

yeah, they don’t want to win. or BS will be forced to play lin like mchale.

Thanks. But why Sacre on the list? LOL!

No because Kobe doesn’t have a relationship with his father. Scott is acting like a father to him, something that , I think Kobe wants

I can’t say I can recommend anyone specifically.

Most NBA coaches will mistreat Lin just because he’s Asian. I assume that all coaches hate Lin until proven otherwise.

Eric Musselman would be a good coach for Lin. Musselman coached Lin for the D League Reno team. Musselman used Lin properly as Reno ran over everybody.

Only watch highlights. Also, if Lin himself is facing the unfair treatment and obstacles in HIS life with a bright smile, there’s ZERO excuse for us to spout and doom and gloom.

In karma we trust. 😉

Also funny Nash is still in the list. WOW! Hahahaha No one cares too much BS’ priceless Price.

First of all, Nick Young has always been a streaky shooter much like JR Smith. Also I think that Nicks’ broken hand might have thrown off his shot. The thing about those kind of injuries is that competitive usage does not make it better.

Franchise owners are blinded by the garish glare of media hype, so they hire big name coaches that talk big but never get results.

From Lakersground

Lin — — He sank his first couple of jumpers, the second of which was a three which looked very calm, comfortable and smooth. I thought he might have had a chance to have a big game, but didn’t play much, just 15 minutes. The fewest of any Laker tonight, but he was still able to score 9 and dish 3 assists in the limited time. Scott didn’t go with either PG to close the game. On Kobe: “He got people in really good spots,” Lin said of Kobe’s passing game. I had wished Lin could learn a little from Nash this season, but Nash has bolted. Kobe orchestrated a pretty strong half-court passing game tonight. The team was on the same page, which is rare, but this can only help the playmakers as guys improve their spacing and know where each other will be on the floor. A little bit of nice chemistry between Tarik and Lin tonight.

The Stats: He scored 9 points on 3-4 shooting (1-1 from three, 2-2 from the line) to go with 2 boards, 3 assists, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls in 15 minutes. He was a -12.

The Action: He iso’d and swished a pull-up from the sideline. He drained a calm, controlled three straight away off an inbounds. He attacked and kicked out to Young who hit the step-back three. He attacked lane hard but couldn’t finish. Second Half: He attacked the heart of the D with speed and drew FTs, he made both. Sloppy two-man game pass trying to hit Boozer and he threw it away. He attacked off the high screen and scored a layup to start the fourth. He attacked and fired a pass to Black under the hoop for an And-1. Same trip down court after we got the missed FT and he hit Black cutting baseline for more FTs. He was called for a charge on Love (who was clearly in the restricted circle with both heels), should have been FTs. He sat after that as Kyrie came in. X**

It doesn’t matter because Kobe wanted to break MJ record.

This statement also tell that Kobe wanted to win the game all by himself that’s why Lin was not allow on when Kobe was on the court. smh!

Price’s grade: not one but two sleepy heads.
http://forums.lakersground.net/images/smiles/icon_sleepy.gif
Price — Scott was matching Price up with Kyrie, which meant 27 minutes for Price until Scott finally pulled the plug on that match up and went with Wes, Young and Kobe on the floor to close the game. Poor shooting night, making just one shot. He did manufacture some FTs, however. Kyrie had 22 points.

I know… but I like “I’m not going to be here much longer…” think about that makes me so happy.

Subscribed to the LP was to watch Lin’s good games repeatedly especially after a stressful day. Ha ha ..

Actually there is also a free website u can go to watch after games to your heart content. It’s in Chinese website. I watched Linsanity games via that web. Learn all these treats from JLin fans:-)

Yup, always look forward to his reviews.

SO be it……#AuditionModeON

I do not think there is only ONE reason.

well either way scott or whoever controls him prefer price as a player

have a kitkat

we are kinda cross the line here for name calling…we are all frustrated, but we are smart enough to have some decorum 🙂

Saw how KB padded KL’s butt. A recruiting initiation. Lin Gone.

or scott dislike lins game

why?

I just said it is not just about Kobe….

COuld be….who knows LOL

6. Media ask him too many questions

I think the coach has been trying to push things through him hard, which might be extra load on him. If Scott let Lin run the offense, and get Young more catch and shot opportunities, things might get better, but Scott want to run Young ISO……

7. He acted like a great coach

There is only so much he can do to pretend to be dumb

Meaning:
1. No one should play better than me
2. Pass me the ball
3. No one should make a parody about me
4. No other player’s fan should diss me
5. Don’t run faster then me
6. Guard your man and my man too
7. Did I say pass my the ball?

Good luck with that. Just desserts for next year’s mess. I don’t care.

Tarik.. Lin too nice too Dellanova, he could have shot it.

Long vid.

The fabulous way Lin’s playing, he’d be Nash’s MENTOR by now!

3rd leading scorer despite being the 9TH MAN!!!

Lin played “as much” as he did only because Ronnie Price messed up his elbow on that one screen where he played soft defense on Kyrie Irving and got his lackadaisical arm tangled up in a screen.

Does anybody speculate about how well Lin would play if he was fairly officiated and properly utilized?

I feel that it would be Linsanity EVERY GAME.

My guess: 22 points, 10 assists, tons of happy teammates, and a championship caliber team.

There is no better per minute performer in today’s NBA than Lin, in my opinion.

I know that Jeremy Lin is an excellent ball player constraint only by favoritism or bigotry, profit, and the fame of Kobe bryant. The Lakers can deprecate on him, if you will, while showcasing their franchise man, but Lin doesn’t have to take it (like the song says).

…And he’s not. Jeremy Lin is a tenacious man and so he suffers the consequences; and I can’t blame him. I expect the forces of fairness to intercede sooner or later; after all, what we see others see as well.

Plenty of teams can use his expertise. He might have to exchange playing on an elite team to being the deliverer of a poor team like the Knicks, let’s say.

Like Paul F V says: Kobe may be on his way out and these games could be his Last Stand.
