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

They are paying him 5 million ...

no they're not, his contract in HOU is $8.3m over 3 years.

In NY it would have been 5/5/15 had NY matched.

"The Rockets' offer to Lin will pay him $5 million in the first year, $5.225 million in the second and $14.8 million in the third, according to sources."

Regardless even if they pay him 8 million this year they still have room for a max right now.

The hate lin gets on psd is beyond me! Let the dude get more comfortable with his teammates. Hes an nba pointgaurd while ya jacking off in front of your computers. Lol you guys are something else...

[USMCLaker]

Most clever title so far this year.

[jam]

Wow, I don't have a single player or team to root for this year.

Last year I had some fun watching rubio and it was even more enjoyable watching linsanity.

And at least it was fun rooting against the heat for a couple of seasons.

What now?

[Losoway]

lin is still recovering from a knee surgery. He is 2-4 months away from 100%.

Even so he is still putting up 12/6 with 2.4 steals per game.

lmao stfu! Lin knee surgery was cleared to play in the playoffs. He just chose not to to increase his free agency value

face it . The hype is over . He is having a very d league player type season

LMFAO d-league? 20th in APG, 3rd in steals, 24th in scoring among PG.

While he may not be a premier player he is hardly " D-league"

[Cromedome]

Rest in peace.



If the Rockets didn't get Harden....this would have been a slow painful death to watch.

[Max.This]

I hope he gets back to his old self. Really pulling for the guy

[Blitzace137]

Rockets don't know how to use Lin it's that simple McHale is overrated IMO. They have him spotting up and he's used as the secondary ball-handler in that team. Lin is a slasher/cutter he could never get on a role just by spotting up. His ability is still there but he's just not as aggressive because Harden is taking the ball out of his hands, he's differing to Harden way to much.

Rockets were better off with Dragic, Lin would have been better off in NY with Kidd as his mentor. He sure as hell wouldn't be a spot up shooter in NY especially us having guys like Novak and J.R. and a number of weapons to drive and kick too. Who knows maybe after a season or so they can figure out how to use him.

I disagree..I like what the Rockets are doing and think they play an exciting style of basketball. They got a good team. Lin will be Ok

20th in scoring? His 12 PPG is 12th in the NBA in terms of scoring? I highly doubt that.

And why are you bragging about Lin being ranked 24th in assists out of all PGs in the NBA? You do realize that what your saying is that Out of 30 starting PGs, Lin is #24 making him in the lower tier.

The Rockets are a work in progress.

13 new players. Average age 23. Over half the roster is rookies/sophomores.

Oh, and they've only played 8 games together, with their primary scorer only joining the team 2 days before the start of the season.

They haven't even finished adding their all their PnR's and screens.

Nobody knows what the Rockets offense will look like at this point.

Any conclusions drawn before the new year are suspect.

Oh, and they're .500 after 8 games.

I wonder how many rebuilding franchises would kill to be playing so well this soon?
