Do you understand fantasy basketball? Brooklyn doesn't have a whole lot of talent, meaning Lin would get playing time and opportunities.

I don't play fantasy sports at all, but I know enough to know that an otherwise average player on a bad team can put up some pretty darn good numbers.

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.

Yep, can't believe that Heat ownership hasn't figured out that the game has completely passed him by.

I think Miami's owners have spent too much time in the sun. It's clear that Riley is pulling off some crooked scheme. How else do you explain him have a job in the NBA?

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.
Jeremy Lin never was good for me in fantasy - He just doesn't score that much, but I hope he is okay and gets to play. I never wish injury on anyone, but I get what you're saying and in fantasy - 18 points per game which is what he did the first game, but zero rebounds and 4 assists. On CBS - that 26 points and wouldn't be scrub level, perhaps a few points over the scrub threshold to me. Here is the thing though:

I will boldly say that his numbers will never hold up. 18 points and 0 rebounds - simply isn't that good to me and how many times has he been injured? I think it's been a few years, but look how he has bounced from team to team, but I am not going to argue with anyone - if you like him, I will say no more and good luck with him and good luck for him.

FYI- MRI comes back negative on Dray's knee. He should be fine after a few days rest. :clap2::cheer2:

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.
If he can become a 35% or better 3pt shooter, he'll be really tough to stop. That cut and dunk play reminded me of Westbrook.

Once he returns to the court to make he's knee is truly 100% he needs to kick an opponent in the basket-balls.

Oh, I'm sorry...

Not sure what would have given me that impression.

Couldn't have been the fact that you Lol'd his fantasy owners.
No, I laughed at them for selecting him to begin with when there were far better choices. I know that was wrong, but I couldn't help it. I don't like Jeremy Lin as a player - In his entire career, he has played all 82 games one time only. For fantasy - never been worth more than 20 per game and unreliable. Last year would have been his best year for fantasy if he had played more than 38 and in fact he has played 35 games or less 3 of 7 seasons, and in his seventies. I'm sorry the dude got hurt - but he is worse then Derek Rose, so I fail to understand why anyone didn't expect it.

Coming from a guy who finishes last in every fantasy basketball league he ever participated in...........
