R.I.P. Linsanity Feb. 2012 - Nov. 2012

Out for 6 weeks, for a guy who relies on his lateral agility like Lin he is not quite 100% but is still playing at an above average level for an NBA point guard.

Folks we're looking at Beno Udrich.

Except he never averaged the numbers Lin is now.... Especially not at 24...

Another product of the D'Antoni system.

Come on dude. Its been 30 weeks since his 4-6 week prognosis.

I am a Lin fan and think he will still be a very solid PG when its all said and done but I think its safe to say Rockets had two way better PG's on their roster last year and let them walk so they could sell tickets and leech onto the Asian market left behind by Yao.

Well the Lowry trade was instrumental in landing Harden. So no complaints here.

I miss Lin and wish him the best. Way too early to judge him considering he's probably still sleeping on another teammate's couch in Houston.

Linsanity ended when LeBron ****ed him up last year...

that's not a good enough excuse dude

Not a good enough excuse? He is pretty much doing what we expected. 12/6/2.4 is a great start ...

[jam]

2 for 10 from the field. Oh me oh my.

If HOU only expected 12 & 6 from him they shouldn't have given him $8.5m per year, not when they could have had Dragic. I understand you're trying to temper your expectations, but 12 & 6 is a below average PG. And after tonight he's probably more like 10 & 5.5

He's really been struggling, last 5 games

He's def been a disappointment thus far, but its early.

[homestarunner93]

It's still so early. I think you're being a tad hard on him.

No one reads GQ but you.

[lakersiznumber1]
