Fg% can be a very misleading measure of efficiency, and you demonstrated that to perfection.

That's why I put fg% and eFG%

I apologize for taking the bait. I'll try to refrain from getting sucked into nonproductive lines of conversation. So back to the topic.

Lin will have until the trade deadline to prove his worth. The only way he stays is if he plays good enough to keep. Until then it's speculation.

But you didn't put ts%

I conveniently ignored free throws to manipulate the truth.

You didn't say no one in basketball has ever come back from 0-3, you said NO ONE has come back from 0-3. I clearly gave an example in which a professional team went on to win four in a row after falling behind 0-3. Now due to proving my point, you holler semantics to try to the ignore the other fact about how it built momentum causing a easy victory in the next series. Which I then use to form my opinion that the Rockets would have beaten the Memphis Tans given Lin stayed on the bench and let the Rockets win the series with the Thunder.

Is that how your 2k13 campaign went?

It's like listening to a broken record. Fans don't want to hear Lin had a real good year. See what all you Lin haters did, you pist off your own General Manager in Daryl Morey!

[Knickabokkaz]

By the way, Sports Illustrated already picked up on this AMA conversation with Daryl Morey defending Jeremy Lin. http://nba.si.com/20...-kevin-garnett/

Well I guess that ends that. Morey's on our side.

it's not like the gm of any team is going to bag on any of his players no matter how poorly they play.

I was waiting for someone to say that. Morey is making stuff up to support his player! Lol.

Can't face the facts friend? It is true, denial is always easier.

[timetodienow1234567]

Morey is filthy lying scum. We all know that.

Some people truly hate Lin, but most of Lin's detractors point that you are basically paying him 25 M through three years as if it were a rookie deal. If you we are truly believing that his NY play was some sort of ceilling and not the norm, is it worth 25 M?

 

Don't get me wrong, I do like Lin and I do like him to be our point guarde because he is smart enough (he went to Harvard!) to adapt his game and thrive, what I'm trying to say is that at some point I do understand the detractors (NOT the haters) who feel that he is overpaid and we could somehow relocate that salary in two or three players that could also adapt or even fit better in our roster, giving us a more complete roster.

 

Right now, I'm all in with him (I'm not a lover either) until he proves he won't be able to excel in his role given the time and effort.

What was unfactual about my post?

I was not saying he wasnt right but if you're going to sit there and tell me any player is a great player because their own gm says he's good that's just ridiculous. They have a vested interest for all their players to be seen as good.

How much does he worth then, to those detractors?...

For whatever it's worth, there are a lot of inferior guards making a similar amount.

He even told you why Lin is good and why he can't stand Lin haters who make stupid accusations. He wasn't just saying nice things about him, he was saying why he is very valuable to his team and why he supports him but you refuse to acknowledge because you're in denial that he supports Lin.
