agreed. can make a posting career towing this line without ban

just ask ermmmmm, not me

Just ask Tuq, amirite?

hey you said it

You're kind of a bully, seth. It's odd, you seem to love to pile on "mild" trolling of anyone in the minority opinion. But that's all besides the point, we can name call (which I'd rather not do) or we can discuss Lin. Your decision.

I think the biggest gap between what the pro-Lin (me, iggy) and the con-Lin (most others) seem to realize is just how awesome he's been. This isn't Darren Collison performing slightly above average as a rookie starter (which is impressive). This is a guy who is playing as well (if not better) than any player in the league, aside from LeBron James.

He won Eastern Conference Player of the Week and it was 100% deserved. Collison didn't even come close to that award! So everyone knows that Lin will regress - no one thinks he's LBJ's equal. But even with some regression anticipated, his projecting based on his stuff as a starter is literally all-star caliber. He's also still young! In other words, those that are trying to peg a ceiling on him... Let's wait a month.

in a month's time will you post another "but guys, his numbers were really good at the time", like you did with the rest of your predictions?

He has a 49 TS. You can't be a great player south of the 50 TS mark.

Yes, his defense is very good, and as a rookie, should only improve. Yes, he can play make and run an above average offense. Yes, he's very good, and has potential to be even better. But he is individually incredibly inefficient... Has a 101 ORtg.

Rubio, like Rondo, are following a similar career trajectory as Jason Kidd. Which is unbelievable, obviously. (I'm not saying either are or will be as good as he was etc., just they have a familar profile)

Nah, Rondo/Lowry/Wall/Westbrook all getting more rebounds than Rubio, with Lowry being over a full rebound per game better at 5.4 rebounds. Curry is right there with him as well.

1/3 with 5 TOs in 10 minutes so far

Steve Nash has two MVPs, Shaq has one.

voters are also retarded but the point stands

Really though, I like Nash a lot and I hope he gets a ring, but he has to be the only guy ever to win an MVP when finishing 3rd on his own team in win shares that year.

Really sloppy half, played a lot better in 2nd quarter though.

Turnover triple double with a game winning shop will definitely get some haters mad.

just a terrible game all around so far.
