Go Jeremy!

lol … no BScott talking is nice indeed

That’s even better. Sick of hearing nonsense from his big mouth!

I am so rooting for the mavs to beat the rockets tonight….even with rondo playing…. just for this game only.

wow….i know how hard that must be for you to give up hate of rondo to root for him; you may not have to divide your affections; last game both barea and harris ouplayed rondo; they mite get the minutes 2nite too.

the houston hardens. (btw check out chris baldwins piece on houston on last thread if you haven’t already).

to me their is no point discussing the tankers anymore…. minus Jlin of course… so I will just rooting against the Jlin haters and the cursed teams that discarded Jlin

I wonder if they lock upp Jlin red envelop or they just leave it there…I bet it will be gone the minute Jlin left the place

LETS DO THIS!!!!!!LETS GO JEREMY.

young has a staggering and unprecedented (one exception) off the bench in the nba fga to assist ratio of 12 to 1!!!! that’s 12 fga’s for every assist. you need to pass jeremy cause i sure wont.

there is a chance lin may return to the rockets. all i heard lin say this all star break was i want to be a better version of what i was on the rox.

I really hope no Lakers or Rox… but if really no other team then Rox is OK to me bc Lakers is really bad.

ill take anything over this s year. also playoffs i miss the playoff hunt

its going to be hard to out tank the 6ers now that they have the lakers phnx protected pick. as i understand from posts here lakers will play 6ers twice before end of season and sixers genius (his fans seem to think so) hinkie just decimated team again acquiring nothing to sink to the bottom for sure and for more draft picks.

10 day signee todd frazier or someone like that is the starter 2nite at point guard.

bs will have to have all the tank guns at work.

some wag on comments board on 6ers game tonite has avatar of ralphie from the simpsons with the quote” hey sam i have a crayon to trade what you got”

sixers had actually won a few games and i thought it was going to be strictly a family affair with the knicks/lakers race to the bottom but now that 6ers have that pick and two games against lakers with their even worse lineup it will be hard for the lakers to “not prioritize winning” better than hinkie the master. (he’s been at it longer than anyone i think). the amazing thing to me his 6ers fans seem to think hes a genius and doing the right thing by stockpiling draft picks. smh.

exactly

he is so bad. god he better thank the boston big three for the rest of his life

Listened to Morey’s interview a bit he said that Pat Beverley’s
presence on the team was a factor in Goran not choosing rox as both players are represented by the same agent, Bill Duffy. Wow the agents nowadays do hold some power.

dont believe it.Just give Dragic the money and the position….maybe Dragic will come back to Houston.Afterall Machale always like Dragic

Dragic stated he wants to be ‘the PG’, rox can’t give him this, Harden’s going to hold the ball >70% of time.

Nah, that’s young sarcasm.

Excuse for failing to get Dragic back. Dragic trusts Morey even less than he does the Suns.

They used to have one…he is an Asian by the way….

best of both worlds… the mavs spanking the rockets with minimal rondo help….hahaha

They used to have a starting PG that can take them deep into playoff.

I love that there is more discussion about other teams than on the tankers… hehe

actually 2 be fair bev isnt having that terrible a year. its just before he was hyped and now hes blamed. he has more points per game and assists per game than last year. and shooting a higher 3 pt %. just has abl status no longer necessary. and so hes the new sg for the houston hardens. actually almost everyone lin fans predicted this.

sg for scapegoat not shooting guard.

lol derick rose 8pts 2 asst 6 tov… talking about elite…hahaha

with the tankers…. not even the hotties will help Jlin… hehe

I am glad melt down is a regular occurance over cf on rockets game day….hehehe…. melt baby melt!!!

yes him and rondo…. hehe…jk

for detroit tonite no brandon jennings (injured) no d.j. augustine (traded) no reggie jackson (not yet available) and facing as you say yes the great d. rose.

no problem! spencer dinwiddie in yes his first nba start outplays rose.

dinwiddie 12 pts 9 assists 3 steals. (rose stats remained to end of game thos his fg % dropped to 2 for 9 )

it’s also great to see that the wolverine is bricking 3’s…hehehe

rondo score 10 points…. reason… harden is guarding him.

Rather watch rox go down…

Montejunes is awesome

agree… I have him on my fantasy team… go dmo

yes the two defensive scrubs are helping each other…hehehe

what I found comical is the racists at cf are touting prigioni the fossil they just got from the knicks… haha

Rondo is having his best offense night as a Mav, 6-9 for 12 points, and guess who is on him tonight? that’s right, the Mr. elite..
Meanwhile, Mr. elite only shoots just 1-7 for 3 points. Maybe Rockets can just trade Bev to the Mavs for fat felton? should be an upgrade for them..

I still remember Jlin beat mavs last year with harden sitting out… oh how time have changed….the rox are missing Jlin big time just about right now.

stoo is touting everyone on the tankers and the nets but Jlin…. how predictable… mute for real now…hehe

Charlie v came to the rondo’s rescue.

tankers game starting…and that is about it.

I guess every one is waiting for Jlin to come in the game to joint the chat… lol

mavs lead down to 8 and carlise finally woke up and took out rondo

thanks…hehe

My fantasy trade – Rondo for Lin

JC being aggressive on offensive end

I hope Jlin is allow to do the same

He just has to do it. No more allowed to or not. Go in to the game, drive, shoot when it is there, dish when it makes sense. Don’t let Young run the show, he runs the show. He has to change his approach I think.

i am glad that i didn’t go to watch the tanking game. LOL

Jlin at the scorer table…get ready everyone…lol

Lin and Price are in together. Huh?

Price playing PG..

yup… Jlin to the corner ..I guess… sigh

Jlin for 3

price doing the assist and Jlin doing the scoring… I am ok with that

Pass the ball u scrub price

monte ellis just save rondo’s butt… back to Jlin… hehe

How boring… nets so shortsighted… having linsanity.in brooklyn? I live in brooklyn!

no i want lin with a good coach not brooklyn

Nice shoes

Jlin was wide open and hill pass the ball away and tov

do i have to watch this pick up basketball game. not a quarter in and all I’m thinking is what a waste of time

it was a 2

price with the dunk…and stooo had an orrrgaaaasssmmmm…. yeah I took the game off mute…hehe

Does Lin look to get the ball enough? Why isn’t he in the offense more?

lol

Good defensive pressure from lin, even he lost the ball

now a 3

Wow Brookyln’s crowd is LOUD for both teams, feels like NYC!

mini Linsanity run… and bs took out lin….F you bs

Yeah…good pass to Hill, unfortunately he was pushed…so no assist there

Entire lineup just taken out except Hill including Lin!

No need to watch til end of 3Q

https://twitter.com/Lakers/status/568987431933845506

is there another game to watch?

byron continues to not understand momentum

He never understood it.

he doesn’t even understands basketball ..let alone momentum

he never did…stubborn with his rotation timing

lol…thats true as well

So he’s going to DNP Boozer?

wow

They seriously think Paul George can return?! Are they crazy? Dude just had a serious broken leg injury!

https://twitter.com/zukovka/status/568988660718292992

https://twitter.com/zukovka/status/568988958375464960

watch the starters losing the lead going to halftime… just like clock work

Are “momentum” and “line-up” foreign words to BS? Why in the world again is this guy hired as coach?

OH WAIT…

except Darren William is playing for the tnkerrs as well… hehe

the art of tanking…. part 1 section 1

https://twitter.com/zukovka/status/568989828114747393

at least it’s Friday night and I don’t have to work tomorrow

there goes the lead

When the tank is at its peak.

always

nick young this year has showed he is not as good as sold but also scots slow system has screwed him

https://twitter.com/zukovka/status/568990388620541952

on the happier note…the mavs beat the rox despite rondo best attempt to screw it up…back to the tankers game

Good!

https://twitter.com/Lakers/status/568991902680264704

i did read that…but was there a video on it?

Because Boozer refused to buyout? LOL

Heat looking good and like a contender even without Lebron. Nice to have such a great coach in Spolestra, Dragic is lucky to end up in Miami!

its crazy lin gets hot for 1 minute and nearly goes for a big run yet clarkson and price hold the ball all day to no affect

yea then he is taken out

bs is actually a robot and is programed with the tanking protocol… I love to see bs malfunction one of these days

bs halftime tanking speech must be very inspiring… lol

Nets is pushing it…as usual…its Q3!!

2 minutes 9 point shift

yes…at least I want to see a close loss

scott never makes in game changes. his head would explode

scott brings in davis and hill to do what exactly

Honestly, I think the fans are ok with losing (tanking).

bs learn from his mistake… it was a close call with Jlin had a mini linsanity run

everyone before lin

still down by 9

aint that winning, is BScott’s book?

a lot of players who scores but have zero affect on the game

Jlin in

hahaha

another mini linsanity?

ny still scoreless

https://twitter.com/LakersNation/status/569000770907054080

That was the original plan, current progress puts him on pace for Khalifa Tower 2.0.

head of snake…garter snake that is

That was an ill-advised shot. Otherwise, he plays ok. He’s better not shooting.

this game is just going according to bs tanking plan… smh

and hill has 11 shots

scott is a weird cat

DW can only ravage tanking teams these days.

but not anti tanking player… Jlin schooled him as usual

omg…Jlin got a foul call by violet palmer

yes

Violet Palmer’s off her game, must be tanking too. LOL

Argh…free throws…

If he passed it would be a charge

No interior, Hill is jsut so bad.

not sure who’s worse

lin leading lakers in points per minute tonite.

with boozer the team played good defense

I am crying inside watching Lin going rouge.

13 pts and counting 🙂

J score again

continues his torrid tank shooting.

LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

I Do Miss

lin has 5 shots hill has 12 lol who has more points

Yes you did

https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/569004808910155776

he threw one up when nick lost the ball with a second left

thanks mike

Ah, thanks.

ok now lin is not only leading the team in points per minutes hes (tied) leading in scoring period; with the fewest minutes played of anyone on the team who actually set foot on the floor.

https://twitter.com/luzyanglin/status/569005317935255552

https://twitter.com/Gadgetomi/status/569005640384782337

I’m not watching the game. So Jeremy is completely playing as shooting guard? No shared point guard duties with Price?

Lin shows he can be a effective SG as well

17 for Jlin… please bs don’t put the fake starters back for the love of God!!!!

No taking turns bringing the ball up but Price is passing to Lin even when he’s PG. Price did hog a few shots but still passing to Lin and ignoring Young. LOL Lin had made all his shots except the bail out one! 17 points!! Mini Linsanity game! New York crowd is always is crazy for Lin!

https://twitter.com/LakerFacts/status/569006580441550848

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/569006439257083904

Lin wanted Price to forward the ball fast

I like this changed Lin, finally understand he needs to be score first, pass second PG!

WooHoo!! 17pts for #17
Only 1 TO

Efficient playmaking and cut down TOs 😀

He’s playing SG.

Lin plays defense alone should earn him 30 min per game.

Lol, well I’m glad Price can identify who the hot player is…I wouldn’t want to pass to 1 out of 7 Young either. Ha

Even better LOL

Why not today 🙂

Shower and sleep

Lin should’ve taken the shot himself he was wide open but he took it back out =/

Price is much better and smarter than Clarkson to play point.

Young also not getting passes.

sweaty buyout is OK too =)

come on Jlin… Please blow up the tankers plan!!!

https://twitter.com/Lakers_Examiner/status/569008114978000896

he wiill

I personally think “Linefficiency” (I shudder) is much better because everything follows from there.

He can buy me out whether he’s sweaty or not…

BS foul!

I’m glad because the 2nd unit deserves to finish.

true

i cant believe that got a call late in the game

Refs with the BS foul calls on Lin again!!

and yes I am greedy… I want the win in addition to Jlin awsome game

he was playing more of a SG and only during 4thQ, some nice back and forth between him and RPrice

*facepalm*

So close….

Next year)

18!

19

Lin has to practice his FTs.

FT bugaboo again 🙁

yeah man…was hoping for a 19!…but who cares…he played well

WOW…didnt realize Lin would be the highest score for LAL…!

Lin’s FTs been very off this season =/

the tankers would have won the game if the starters were reversed… F bs!!!!

Wow Lin was mad even talked to that Nets player who made that last shot instead of taking time off the clock for the win.

I find his efficiency more interesting

good leadership by Lin to call out the unsportsmanlike conduct not to run out the clock

stay classy my friend lol nets

Vocal leadership by Lin to keep up the sportmanship

There’s only one true Free Taco bringer on the Tankers.

Lin really needs to work on his FTs they’re horrible this season especially for a PG! He made almost every shot, really efficient!

18 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 1 turnover, 1 steal, 3 personal fouls, +/- +0 , in 24 minutes.
Excellent, keep it up Jeremy.

he’s still at 77% but his concentration can definitely be better.
He needs the free buckets for sure

6-9 from the field, 1-4 3 points, 5-8 free throws

I’m so glad he achieved his 2 goals tonight =)

Hoping he can get it back up to 80% before the end of the season…

Carlos Boozer gets a DNP.

Ellington is good, but Sacre, Kelly, just no. Black hasn’t looked that great lately either.

Still need Price to pass to Lin instead of Young for Lin to score! I was surprised seem like Young was being iced out not sure why.

Still Lin proved he is capable..

He Remembers too!
the 2 goals =)

https://twitter.com/LakerFacts/status/569014385609281538

Boozer is DNP because BS

Deron Williams played 40 minutes and if Jeremy Lin played 40
minutes he would have 30 points.

lol.

Deron Williams needs to thank BS for not playing Jeremy 40 min 🙂

LOL yes .. Wes is one “stealth” player!

he will have Linsanity nightmare tonight… lol… waking up in the middle of the night with cold sweats….hehehe

And the makeup of the first unit was dictated by…?

well i would agree with you except we are old fashioned; ive studied this and most fans of most tanking teams (its now called “not prioritizing winning”) consider this a perfectly acceptable strategy and applaud their teams for doing so. hinkie’s fans in philly consider him a genius and his unloading two better players at trade deadlin plus picking up more picks including the option on the suns/lakers pick is considered exciting. in fact many people in la. are angry with the lakers for not more fully embracing this strategy.

of course the bench players (on lakers) are vastly superior players to the starters. the idea is: if you can’t win anyway now, lose big to acquire draft picks. and it will be very hard for the lakers to keep their pick with philly now owing it should the lakers falter and actually win some games because lakers/philly play twice between now and end of season and there’s pretty much no credible players left on sixers now. (imagine an entire team of lakers starters quality).

so. roll out the tanks. er “not prioritizing winning”.

He knew for a long time but just wanted to tank…

77% is far from horrible. slightly below average “for a p.g.”

“I’m serious”…and then “I don’t know”? SMH

he let the 2nd unit close tonight to test if they’re “ExcitingButStillTankWorthy”.
And they passed! (thanks to Young) haha..
I think he might allow them to start soon

As a coach, he is used to losing… a lot.

Classic BS.

Right, which is why Boozer was DNP tonight. Does he hear himself talk?

translated: “i seriously dont know”.

Except for those BS foul calls on Lin by refs and missing FTs. He can’t control foul calls but he can control his FTs and make them pay more at the charity stripe!

Good thing that he competed too, otherwise his FG% might’ve been in the negative.

funny

He’s pitiful.

he just summed up his coaching career.. =)

Seriously.

that’s bs way of saying… if I am not smart, I am stupid as stupid does…

Byron didn’t drill Lin to tired feet.

the games with philly will be critical. hinkie has been at this longer and jettisoned some serious decent players at the deadline. (course putting the ball in his court by pulling the lakers pick from the suns).

So great to see Jeremy had a good game, let’s keep it going.
End the season positive and strong and sign with a better team next season.

I wonder if Carlos will get interviewed, kinda hope he does and calls out Byron for being awful.

Too many tiger moms tonight. Come on, the guy just scored 18! yet people want to squeeze out a few more like it matters. Every other star player has ups and downs, yet we expect him to shoot 50/40/90.

It’s like a golfer who just shoot 59 and fans complain about the 2 footer he missed to shoot 58.

curry’s the only one this year.

I am ecstatic with Jlin game tonight… fwiw

The David Copperfield of the NBA.

He is just a terrible communicator and shouldn’t be coaching.

swaggy is the ideal secret weapon for tanking cause he’s only concerned with his swag.

i think mainly its just 1 or 2 repeating themselves.

yep.

its sort of a kind of musical chairs.

Boy, the lights must be bright at the Staples Center. More importantly, good game Jeremy. …

https://twitter.com/LA_TripleThreat/status/569014922882846720

Not going to settle for 18 because we know Lin could’ve made 20+ pts if he made his FTs.

LOL, Young: they are a good team, need to give them credit, they make big plays and shot big shots.

Is he talking about nets?

So Boozer join the club for tanking now… smh!

Highlights!!

the team is tanking, there is no point to be upset.

actually a pretty good night for me…the rox lost ,the mavs win with rondo sucking it, and Jlin had a very good game…. I am completely satisfy .

well kobe would smack him lol

https://twitter.com/CNM_JLin_Vids/status/569021344903356416

Why post this drivel that worthy speaks. He is so wishy washy…smh

Boozer has already given up on Byron.
Whatever, Boozer is going to the East next season; he can still play.

https://twitter.com/Edpenn13/status/569011529854488577

bs is a liar… Jlin is not even sniffing 30 minutes…let alone 48 minutes…hehe

Jordan Hill just can’t roll with passes.

The fact that Byron thinks insulting his players is a possible solution to their team woes is ridiculous.

……

Why should BS be upset now? He wants to tank, so tanking here we come. Does he just realized that he has the worst coach in wins for the lakers in history? The tanking route has been ingrained and there is no time to change course.

LoL
Byron has been bringing Lakers the big pics.

No, there’s no use in arguing about minutes when the team is tanking.

We all know what they are going to say. They give lin no props at all even when he plays well. Why is this news worthy?..smh

But this guy also said JC looks more & more like RW? Didn’t watch when he played… Do you feel the same way?!

https://twitter.com/Edpenn13/status/568985042547924992

Personally, I’m fine with JC’s game for a rookie

Did he really play like RW?

haha….that would be fan’s talk I guess

BS still didn’t get it, he has been out coached by all opponents thus far. The opposing coach has adjusted to lakers game strategy whereas BS still remain in the dream world. What a joke.

Basically BS will insult to tank.

I didn’t watch how JC played tonight.
Clarkson plays with raw athleticism but he’s still far from being compared to RW, esp. the shooting
He played quite well as a rookie but not ready yet, sometimes looks lost like all rookies do.

But both play like an SG, not so much like a PG.
Then again, Lin played as an SG tonight =)

Not at all. Everybody is always praising Westbrook, but if you watch how he plays, he plays very reckless most of the time. When he is pitted against a good defender, his game is exposed.

So what? If none of them are making the shots? They still can loss the game.

let’s see… bs,mitch,stoo, the tankers,the rockets, rondo, harden,bevscrub,racist haters at cf, some haters at lg, nba radio hosts, the nba racist refs…. I am sure there are more … I am just not remember them all or look at it this way… they are not worth remembering..hehew

Great role model. Happy that Jeremy played well.
https://twitter.com/WRNvision/status/569026038061101057

He should have said, “Don’t bench yourself, plzzz!
Play like Anti-Tank Lin here! Play hard until I bench you.

I’m serious. I don’t know”

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/569028971259564033

he might be interested enough to invite Lin in the summer LOL

Need more hands 🙂

Why get into details when Worthy already declared he will bash his friend (BS).

Indeed. Check out the highlights below.

Looks like he is gonna play SG from now onwards

Brad Turner ‏@BA_Turner 29m29 minutes ago
BScott on Carlos Boozer not playing:“If he’s upset, he’s upset,” Scott said. “But am I concerned about that? Not really.”

Bc they want Price to play PG.

@rookie75094 be like…

I really hope so bc Lin seemed to be easy to forgive what these evil people did to him… like Morey & Rox….

Still not enough…

My unsolicited attempt to advertise JLin to contenders LOL

https://twitter.com/JLinPortal/status/569031130290245632

Way ahead of you, bud. Look below. LOL

deja vu

I’d have no problem since Lin get to score more to help his FA value, plus some playmaking in Q4

Price is just is just like Beverly, can’t shoot well. Price is not that great odf a passer either. Lin/Price will be the duo for last games of the season because Price is trying to get Price another contract, which I don’t think Mitch will bite. I think Mitch has some definite plans about the the future of the Lakers and he doesn’t really seem to care what fans, Magic Johnson, and to some extent what kobe thinks.

next year?

don’t forget Jason witlock.

JLin would have more assists with Boozer instead of Hill.

Boozer and Davis.

https://twitter.com/jas83j/status/569002230042341378

Love Boozer’s midrange Js and the person but I can’t stand his pushing/offensive foul =)

JW is towing company script. We know now Lin is out of LA soon.

awesome….. I may have many arms but your hand is sure faster..lol

Competed…in the tank-a-thon!

Haven’t you fed up with these ex-Lakers?

splendid

Lin is not trying to tank….LOL

RPG17

I gotta say ClutchFans is imploding on Beverly now. They are calling him a third stringer and he didn’t even finish the game tonight. This is what somebody wrote on CF:

I cant wait forcthe rockets to pick lin back up this summer… play him as a starter. and rockets go deep in the playoffs or even finals.. im loving patrick beverley being exposed.. i am not a lin only fan… all i know is that.. lin, triple double on kyrie irving for the win, lin big part of all wins against the world champion spurs, lin big part of wins against portland in regular season and playoffs, lin… will have his 2nd chance.. harden will recruit him back.. cant wait for the fans to see how beverley was an entire waist of time!!!!

Now isn’t that interesting

He will get banned from CF

You can just collapse post and move on.

Then Clutch would have to ban most of the posters on the site, because they all are singing the same tune about Beverly. One poster even said that Howard finally realized that lin made him look good, because he would actually try to get him the ball.

Amazing! It only took these guys 1.5 seasons to finally get what we saw in preseason 2013.

Let’s not forget the tank banana.
http://forums.lakersground.net/images/smiles/tank.gif

Sorry to rain on the parade, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit that Lin had been let slightly loose on the leash by BS because of FO and League office to let the lone Asian guy play some because of the Chinese new year and Asian festivals across the league. May get one more game like this and then watch for the BS to come again. I don’t trust the Lakers one bit.

They really get me upset. I try to stay away if I were you. Look at the mess they have got the entire franchise into for years.
Those poor Laker fans paying to get such a treat. I would have stopped buying the season tickets if I were them.

https://twitter.com/linspiredinca/status/569045238112587778

Hurray! once bitten twice shy!
Lin should go to where Tyson Chandler, Parsons Chandler, Greg Smith, Amare Stoudemire have been. It’s more fun there. They only have 1 problem; Rondo, who seems to be a misfit lately.

https://twitter.com/linspiredinca/status/569045778036957186

https://twitter.com/linspiredinca/status/569046025316347904

Is this one of BS’s “senior” moments?

At least he is willing.

We have all tried but no success in waking this old timer up to modern basketball games.

I understand your suspicion but Jeremy didn’t get exceptional minutes or opportunities. How was he let loose?
Unless you think that he was let loose by not being DNP.

No but looks like one I lost a few years ago when she was a puppy.

Threads in Forum : Houston Rockets: Game Action & Roster Moves
Patrick Beverley is GARBAGE
( 1 2 3 4 5)

Interesting. Did that come from an OG poster or someone kinda new?

I saw that at CF. They re talking about him bad.LOL

He should.. Lin is very familiar with all and played very well with them. I really do hope he lands a spot there. Please Cuban, bring Lin to Mavs!

kinda feel sad for him….rockets philosphy on basketball is bad they dont have play iso harden and jack thress only …moreyball is garbage

https://twitter.com/dwain808/status/569049919245328384

It is ok, it is irrlevent now…lin did his best and move on!

PB wants a big contract obviously. Not everyone will be like Lin who is willing to sacrifice so much to help others.

Yeah, they have a PB is garbage chain.

Just goes to show that America is still a country deep in hatred because of stereotyping a race of people. It is called racial profiling….smh

Bev ain’t getting no big contract from anybody..LOL

Seems like I missed a good game. Great new yr game from Lin!….I guess that family plus Doc work out worked wonder!

OG poster?

JH knows JLin’s game well…since they went head-on during practice, obviously he has some respect to Lin’s game. If only he had let his ego go and shared the backcourt with Lin…they would have gone far and beyond

Picture Time!

Yes….there is more…

true…indeed

Jeremy Lin Prayer Request:-

1) Thankful for a fun and relaxing All-Star break and precious time to have my whole family together
2) Prayer to be able to finish the second half of the season strong by playing confidently, fearlessly and joyfully
3) Prayer for a renewed and rejuvenated spirit and a patient, faithful heart amidst a long and mentally-draining season
4) Prayer for my little brother, Joseph, as he recovers from a fractured tibia
5) Prayer for increased humility, dependence on Christ and surrender of my personal ambitions, desires and will
6) Prayer for LA to pursue God and not earthly things
7) Prayer for Asia to experience Christ and revival like never before

Thanks…was wondering on why was the earlier interview…short

You don’t go there? Then how did you get that info? lol.

Ahh, found that poster, JLPITCO.. Joined Feb 2015. All his posts are praising Lin and bashing Bev. Seems like a “LOF” there. lol

Please miss the remaining games, Brent. I think you’d helped to work out the wonder :))

yeah what they said

andre miller is quoted as saying: that “he” ie george karl “knows how to deal with players and egos and thats’ why hes been so successful in the league”.

in other words, the anti scott. (well there is one player/ego bs knows how to deal with).

houston fans are just well what can i say: clutch. smh

Thanks HighLights’ People!! I see that my man Lin played another great game!! Luv ‘m. I’m sorry ‘I missed it.

Missed that continuation and-1 too which would have given him 20 on the night. and another foot on the line 2 in the 1H.

some players will have their shooting coach periodically stop by and work with them throughout the season. Even the great Dirk has his coach come all the way from Germany to shore up his shot and get back into rhythm. Maybe more Doc is the answer, not less. There is no textbook jumpshot, just a consistent, repetitive form is most important.

That kid isn’t shy, making the most of the opportunity to hug Lin.

That’s why I said just a little slack in his chains. Last night he was put into a position to score as SG with Price helping. Lin made the most of it. Just as easily, BS can say to Lin to pass more and for Price to set up Swaggy.

DNP was never going to happen so close to Chinese New Year and Asian fan base.

Sad sad sad… wish people who still hate others because of cultural or skin colour will get a chance to make friends and starting to enjoy the beauty of all different cultures…

I don’t want to see Lin back in Houston, though. The press there is, I’ll be nice, unenlightened. And Clutch Fans is run by that obnoxious punk that even blocked me from Twitter because I dared challenge him in a place where he holds no power and exposed how nasty he was to Jeremy.

I think a lot of us are looking for a place where Lin can play his game going into his prime years now and the press is fair. The press isn’t bad in LA, they just suck up to Byron too much and don’t call him out enough. But Houston, no. We’ll see what happens and I hope Lin has mostly games like he did last night until the end of the season. I liked how he played last night.

As for Beverley, he was going to be exposed sooner or later and the CF mob there would turn on him. Parsons was their golden boy and they turned on him. They’ll turn on Harden too, they’ll turn on anyone. They are a bunch of losers there, many of them. There are few decent members there.

Ya! Saw that…. Don’t feel sorry for PB at all. smh!

Clutch fans and Rockets deserve a Beverly max contract for many years to come. Going back to Houston would be like going back to a sick relationship with the naive hope that the other has changed

Here is a ranking of the most popular “NBA Dish” threads at Clutchfans. It’s remarkable how much interest Lin and, by extension, the Lakers command there. Even if you include the “Game Action and Roster Moves” forum the “Jeremy Lin as a Los Angeles Laker” thread is one of the biggest threads on the site.

Love him or hate him, they seem mesmerized by Jeremy Lin.

lol she is married

Anyone who has felt the anger and blind rage from being unable to achieve your own goals because of people in power blocking your every turn will know why I feel so badly for Lin. It hurts so bad because I’ve lived it in my 20s. It’s like you are drowning in an ocean of turmoil that you struggle to keep you’re head above only to have some faceless oppressor push you under for another count. The level of self hate, anger and blind rage can be overwhelming to the point of self destruction. THIS IS THE INTERNAL BATTLE LIN HAS TO DEAL WITH. How Lin handles this mass of negativity is incredible to me that I am totally astounded and in total awe of his internal fortitude.

It took Quite a few years for me to resolve many of those issues, but with love and kindness, I eventually overcame those negative emotions.

Every once in a while I can get annoyed by Lin fans who harp on the imperfections of Lin’s game. Why is it that Lin HAS TO BE PERFECT, when no other superstars are? WHY DO WE SUCCUMB TO THE LEVEL OF DEMANDS THAT HATERS HAVE FOR LIN? During Linsanity, haters were quick to criticize every little fault he had. Meanwhile he was breaking records set by the superstars like Lebron, Westbrook, Durant and DWil. These guys never had to be judged the same way. THEY NEVER WERE JUDGED BY THEIR FAULTS AND ONLY WAS JUDGED BY THEIR POTENTIALS. they were allowed to be developed into superstars. Lin on the other hand has been pushed down further and further into a sea of negativity. HOW LIN HAS BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.

I AM ANNOYED WHEN LIN FANS JOIN IN THIS CHORUS OF NEGATIVITY. IT DOUBLY PAINS ME THAT THOSE OF US WHO CARE ABOUT LIN DON’T REALIZE HOW DEBILITATING IT IS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH HATERS WHO DEMAND PERFECTION, ONLY HAVE HIS OWN FANS DO THE SAME.

Well said.

I am loving Lin’s attitude of late. I like the fact that he got on that player last night after LA had conceded the game and the player went on down the floor to score. There is an unwritten rule in NBA to do this is considered unsportsmanlike behavior. Also I think Lin is finding his voice on the team, and he is learning how to tune out out Scott. I might be the odd man out, but I think F/O likes lin, but the Lakers are in a precarious situation because they are tanking and they know if they unleash lin, he would win games for them. That is why the Laker media, Worthy and the likes are upset. Lin doesn’t fit their mold on what a starting PG should look like from the Lakers. He is not black and didn’t come from meager means. Mitch did his little song and dance number about Scott doing a good job, because that is all they can say, because they are tanking. Mitch also kind of put Kobe on notice yesterday, when he said that he wasn’t going to give a vet a whole lot of money to come in and try to help kobe win another championship. He also said that kobe will be a part of the rebuild process next year, but it will not be team’s focus to get another championship. I think that Mitch plays everything close to his chest. He will only tell you what he wants to tell you.jmo

Best revenge is to prosper, live well and long and be happy.

I am praying right now that Jeremy NEVER ends up with the Rockets again. I don’t need to see anymore of this:

1) Harden screaming at Jeremy for not getting him the ball
2) Play-off losses blamed openly on Jeremy
3) His jersey number showing up on a prospective player prior to even moving Jeremy
4) Mchale’s open criticisms of Jeremy (remember that Philly game where he had like 9 3s, they lost and he blamed him for doing a clear-out and taking a 3 to tie the game)
5) Getting cut on Christmas day

This is an awful and classless organization. Morey is hailed as a statistical genius, but the irony is that he doesn’t care at all about stats anymore. The only thing he cares about is placating Harden. The fact that they are now throwing Beverly under the bus speaks volumes…I don’t know if you remember that game where Beverly came back from injury, and Mchale said “Boy..it’s great to have you back” and gave him a huge bear hug.

rockets are not his problem now. BS and TW Sports are.

Here’s to you Bojan Bogdanovic for making that uncalled-for last layup when the score was 114 to 103 rather than running the clock down with remaining 5 seconds – Ronnie made both free throws and Lin had the steal. Okay Bogdanovic is a rookie, don’t do it again.

So what did Lin said to the Nets bench and to Deron Williams? Lin was pretty alpha about it and welling to take them all on.

…and Lopez got 1 TO.

I think they do. I think that Lakers want model themselves after the Spurs. They want to grow their own. I think Mitch likes lin’s toughness, attitude, and his unselfishness. I think Mitch knows that under the right coach, lin would flourish. Also, the Lakers know that they had a big foot into China with Kobe. They are going to loose that stronghold. Lin is in a very tough situation. Lin knows that any team he goes to will be the same crap all over again. One thing that has happened since he has been on Laker’s team, Kobe/Scott have been exposed and have brought much shame to Laker organization. I think that lin is beginning to understand that scott is a bufoon and that it is all a part of an scheme so that they can tank. Scott picks on Lin/Young because he knows that they just give him the finger at what he says.(that’s Scott’s way of toughening them up…LOL) I do think whenever Scott takes things too far with Lin/Young, the F/O yanks Scott’s chain and pulls him back in place. Call me crazy, but I think Lakers make lin an offer, and it will be up to lin/team as to whether to take it.

I think one of the players on the bench said something and lin responded and the coach laughed. I think Williams kind of looked away when lin was talking to him.

He never forget he’s the victim of linsani ty

I’m hoping lin will ask for a buyout so he can joint the Cavs or another playoff team. Nothing left this season in LA now.

So we can see the real drama in post season and I don’t trust BS in the final month of what he gonna do. No guarantee lin can get his stats.

Also, who knows, maybe the F/O made a deal with lin in letting him play to get his stats up after the way they have treated him.

Maybe and maybe not

Who says if he takes the buyout, a team will pick him up? Besides Lin is not the type to run from a fight. He will stay to the bitter end and make the best out of it, that is Lin’s personality. The translation for me when lin said he didn’t let his family/agent talk about FA as I am tired of moving.

I love Steve Novak:)

I feel the same way… don’t think Lin wants to have buyout either.

He doesn’t. If you notice what he said after ASG,Translation: I am willing to take up up any obstacle/challenge that you throw at me, because I am a fighter, not a quitter.

D. Wiliams is too old for Lin now..lol

Yeah. ^_^.

Yep, they are. I think Nash worked out with Clarkson once probably because Mitch asked him to.

Hello Moderator. What’s with my posts being “Held” then discarded? Is there something wrong?

because he has proof in his own life that things turn around if you abide by your own path. It’s a touchy belief. I’ve met ppl who escaped their countries on boats, and on one case, they jumped off a thirsty boat to swim to an island. Everyone else stayed and might have died. They lived because on the other side of the island, there was a refugee camp. So, this guy … he would always say no to his manager, because what his dad taught him … go with your own belief or you die. Another guy was washed overboard at night, and grasped and caught a tow rope. He climbed back on board. So he believes that luck plays a great role in life.

The ying/yang of magical events, one has to manage the beliefs it spawns …

did you notice announcers harping on Lin for missing that layup and-1 and also, when he complained about the unsportsmanlike conduct? I thought it was weird, like they didn’t get the memo …

if you notice trade dealine as someone on here answered when i pointed out that all the deals took place just in the last few minutes that anyone actually seriously contemplating something keeps their “cards close to the vest”. of all the rumors that come out; when something actually happens usually its something no one predicted. l

Spock! Calling Brent …

By allowing him to finish the game.

Houston are a bunch of racist, Lin haters no way is Lin going back there!

NBA Chinese New Years commercial outtakes:

http://youtu.be/gWPFkmyoaOw

“All hail Sam Hinkie.

The Sixers …..combined “performance” on Thursday and Friday made this ascent inevitable. Philadelphia dealt away two of its top four players, Michael Carter-Williams and K.J. McDaniels, for virtually no return prior to Thursday’s trade deadline, and in its first contest following that decision, Brett Brown’s club trailed by 20-plus points in a bad home loss to the Pacers.

It is fair to say that Philadelphia has been better than New York this season, and I would agree with you. However, the Sixers have executed a tanking plan that is like nothing we’ve ever seen in the NBA,” —-brad roland, fansided

bs will have to bring out the big tank guns if expects to outduel hinkie to the bottom to hold that pick now that its in hinkies hands and lakers have 2 games with philly before the end of the season.

the lakers have what 28 games left? looking at the schedule i think the only games they might have to worry about “not prioritizing winning” are those two against the master hinkie’s minions. which would make them what 15 and 67

oh they have a game with east coast version of the lakers from the buss/jackson stable. the nicks so i guess they could get up to 16 and 66 that would have a nice ring to it.

how does that compare with historic futility?

The easier way is just watch the highlight in the feature comment, at the end you will see.

I will, if I can get a hold of a computer

Jeremy Lin had 11 points in the 4th quarter.

Bojan Bogdanovic made the uncalled-for last layup when the score was 114 to 103 rather than running the clock down with remaining 5 seconds. Lin not happy had words with Nets bench and to Deron Williams.

Lin told them ” Tank you!” Ha

Forth quarter 18 to 28 Lakers, including Deron Williams 2 points.

Haven’t noticed Rockets at all so has the scrub been benched yet?

You know you are a SUPERSTAR ….when even your haters can’t quit you….hahaha

Jordan Hill is gonna get shot one of those days
such a ghetto

Dragic will start for MIA tonight….interesting.

https://twitter.com/brentyen/status/569275778182959105

I thought they will play charmers and dragon together

fans hate chalmers/cole; they got rid of cole and chalmers to the bench. chalmers numbers are similar to lins actually but obviously he was utilized much more opportunity to get those numbers. and he shots dreadful %.

i see yer point with cole gone ….but the reason dragic left phnx (he said) was because wanted to be a point guard. he wouldn’t come here if he was going to “just stand in the corner” and as i said chalmers cant be a sg because he can’t shoot.

wade i thought said at the asg that he would be ready to go? yes no? if not then it gets pretty thin. yeah. but chalmers pretty sure has been set down.

maybe see the fabulous dragic bros. on display at some point?

https://twitter.com/lijames84/status/569160614746009600

yeah but would you really want lin to say those kind of things. jackson comes off as kind of a whiner and complainer. he’s already preceived that way.

imagine would what be the reaction if lin said things like that.

don’t like dragic now.. he is a whiner.

Jlin will never complain he’s like that… ^^’

“Two days before the Thunder’s season opener in Portland, Jackson sprained his ankle and missed the team’s first two games. In their third game, the Nov. 1 home opener against the Nuggets, Jackson was cleared to play, but according to a source, refused to because of disappointment that he wasn’t traded before the Oct. 31 extension deadline for first-round picks entering their fourth season, like Harden before him. Jackson spoke at shootaround that morning, coyly saying he probably wouldn’t play that night. Immediately after finishing his session, he grabbed a ball and threw down an impressive drop-step windmill dunk — in front of reporters and his teammates. Remember: This was when the Thunder were piecing together a roster without Durant and Westbrook, and only had eight active players available.”

http://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2wkqps/reggie_jackson_reportedly_refused_to_play_on_nov/

Jeremy Lin should never be compared to this guy.

There were so many blown assists. Hill blew his shot after that full court pass from Jeremy!
Jeremy is good at that. If it were LeBron, the fans will be elated with the dunk at the end.

[東森新聞HD]林書豪秀舞獅 隔海祝福「羊」眉吐氣

JLin knows best what he needs to work on. Trust him 100%!

okc is loaded now as they made out like bandits in the td; i wonder who they will remove from the 13 man bench list when adams and durant are available? (and where do they go?)

Well, when you lose it then you know how good that’s… In Sun it’s a lot better… now he knows what’s to be like Lin in HOU …

I betcha that the Suns is falling away from the last playoff berth quickly.

thats what their fans thing but i mean i dont know how knight and bledsoe will work together but obviously dragic didn’t want to be there. by my accounting knight was the best player moved at the t.d.

how he will fit in phnx dont’ know i guess milw moved him because they thought they couldn’t resign him next year but still in the middle of playoffs i think milw is more damaged than phnx.

norris cole (traded from mia and argubably the spot on the roster dragic took) 5pts 2 assists in 7 minutes dragic: 0 point 0 assists in 7 minuts

lin is the standard now by which fans judge bad treatment heres a fan comment on the mia game:

“No wonder Miami’s losing badly, they don’t have Dragic running point! Looks like they want to give him the Jeremy Lin treatment in terms of appeasing the star player on the team (that being Wade, of course). Disgusting..”

Dallas wouldn’t play Amare Stoudmiere for 2 games.
Miami played Dragic right away with Wade!

not as much of one as reggie jackson!

is knight just not yet available to play or are they just not playing him yet?

Just went to a college game … nothing compared to even this practice move.

Haha. This is why I think LIN likes Naruto who has the nine tail fox demon in him that has fed on the anger of being hated and feared by the leaf village (LIN meanwhile is hated and feared by the NBA). I think he knows all too well the negativity heaped upon him by haters and doubters that seeks to drown and snuff him out. Recently he has talked about being spiritually ready and just yesterday he asked for a prayer group support. Is he asking for spiritual support to quell that demon fox of anger, doubt and hate within him?

Every once in a while my demon fox slips out and reminds me of those negative feelings and I wind up howling at the moon.

Jeremy Lin treatment….I hope all the NBA fans know this term, and giving Lin a fair judgment eventually.

Dragic’s first game as a Heat in 1st half 15 min 0-5, 0 point 0 AS… Wade run the O most of the time… Dragic sure will miss Sun a lot…. No one pass the ball to him just like Lin … Change the team in mid-season it’s really not a good idea. smh! I really think he made a huge mistake to leave Sun.

Wow Pelicans still leading against Heat without Davis, they are a legit team!

A whiner comes in with max contract and dragging his brother along, there’s just no way ANYONE on the team is taking it well. Everyone’s probably thinking “what gives?”

Ya! W 2nd unit he is running the point now.

Imagine if Dragic brothers still on this team….

i thought that too. actually i sort of still think that. just think its the “new” heat that haven’t figured out how to integrate their lineup.

Yes you’re right. Thx

Oops yeah you’re right. A Brendan Wright and a Brandon Knight? Right? lol

The Suns is losing in the 4Q to Chicago. A Brooks is such a big addition to Chicago that proves Morey doesn’t know about talent when he got one.

Nets (2011-2012) had Deron, Jordan, Shawns and Sheldon – all
Williams.

Pelicans’ Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson go down with injuries that could be serious. Already missing Jrue Holiday too.

OKC must’ve cast a voodoo spell on them to steal the 8th spot. How rude. Not like this OKC, not like this.

Rockets vs Raptors
PB FGM-A ： 1-8
K Lowry FGM-A：2-13

Some Inconsistency here

Lin needs a guy like price to give him the ball … worked well earlier in the season. Clarkson and NY both waste too many balls, ruining the team flow. Price is experienced.

He’s got to get into the move faster and dribbling out in front without turning his body leaves him vulnerable to get it stripped, especially with longer defenders.

Kyle Lowey 37 minutes, 11 points, 7 turnovers
DeRoazn 38 minutes. 10 points, 5 turnovers
Beverley 25 minutes, 3 points, 3 turnovers
Bledsoe, 32 minutes, 13 points, 5 turnovers

Bledsoe is going to suffer without Dragic next to him.
