I once beat Lavar in a game of 1 on 1.

You do realize that laughing at a guys misfortune, or injury, is almost as bad as wishing it upon him, right?

* See @HurricaneDij39

Harsh.

But, in this instance, yeah.

I never laughed - I just said that he does what he is doing best. He has never been a good player and has never been consistent. I don't laugh at injuries - I just think that any team signing Jeremy Lin - is getting a bad deal - He's worse than Derek Rose - Sheesh, you guys are stupid

 

[True Lakers Fan]

There's nothing funny about injuries, no matter who it is. Would you be making jokes if that happened to a Laker? My guess is no.

Show me where I said it was funny, and I will apologize

 

[True Lakers Fan]

You're a classless piece of shit

Oh fuck off bitch

 

[True Lakers Fan]

You guys in here are really ignorant - Calling Jeremy Lin a loser - isn't laughing at the dude - I'm sorry he got hurt, but you can't expect him to be good for your team. I'm sorry, but that's the truth

My bad. I originally misread what you said. You were laughing @ people that had him in their fantasy league.

Don't call Mecca stupid or I'll handle you

That D Leaguer fake C Hassan Whiteside kinda had a good game last night.

Uh, this is bull shit. You criticized him when he went down with his knee injury. Lin's been an average NBA player. Outside of when he was in NY, I don't see anyone who's ever tried to argue that Lin's an all-star level player - or even close to it.

When Lin's contract is up, he'll have made over $60 mil in his career and is also a Harvard graduate. I'd like to know how that makes him a loser. I'm all ears.

Yeah disappointing that we couldn't get him a W last night. He also hit a 3. He did say he was working on that in the summer. Looked good but not expecting him to ever toss up 9 in a game like Cousins

The Heat's season is over. You don't recover from an 0-1 start. They better just focus on next year.

 

[ManuForever]

So excited for his future in the NBA, as a UK fan. He looks just as explosive as he did before, and he's only going to get better.

Now - That I didn't do last night, but I think I shook my head when several individuals selected him and called him a good player.

Over/under on games until Whiteside's inevitable meltdown?

Do you understand fantasy basketball? Brooklyn doesn't have a whole lot of talent, meaning Lin would get playing time and opportunities. Anyone selecting him in fantasy could have been getting a decent utility player eligible at both guard positions that can score some points while adding in some 3PM, rebounds, assists, and steals, while having a decent FT%. I'm sure whoever drafted him was taking a late round flyer on him.

Aside from that, I don't get the point in relishing in Lin's injury because a couple people you play fantasy basketball with drafted him and called him a good player. He put up 18 points and 4 assists in 25 minutes last night so it actually kind of looks like you were wrong to think he was a bad pick.

Maybe 20 games if the organization is lucky. Just think how much better the Heat would be if Pat Riley wasn't fucking everything up.

 

[trojanfan12]

I'll be watching that Clippers/Lakers game tonight. How long will it take Lavar to yell @ the refs? I'm hope only 5 or 10 minutes.

Wait 'til he tries to pull them off the floor and walk out of the gym.

Please let that happen tonight.
