45 turnovers in 7 games? 45?? really?

entire population of a planet be so stupid.
just sad

Obviously, he still has room to become ever BETTER. Which is great as I think he will adjust to the speed and length of NBA players. His cards won't stay where they are but I don't see how you don't root for this guy. He's been the best NBA story in years.

It's not an NBA thing. I keep hearing "best NBA story..." or "only good story about the NBA..." but what has been a similar story in any sport?

It's a gift for the NBA that he's doing what he's doing. The year of a work stopage, the first person in the league of Taiwanese American heritage blows it up. People love seeing their own do well. There are a billion Chinese people clamoring for NBA information. Taiwan is over 90% Han Chinese.

Good for him. He'll make mistakes, don't we all?

Kurt Warner

And that was in 1999, so to my point it isn't the best story out of the NBA in years. It's the best story in sports in years.

He has only started 7 games so he can improve, also he's been trying to do too much and that also elevates his turnover numbers

The thing people don't realize is how there is no way he can keep up his shooting numbers, I'd sell my lin cards now if i had any, but his cards will always go higher than they should

 

[rymflaherty]

The Turnover number is gaudy.....but imo it was forgiven because the team up until last night won every game he started.

That's no small feat considering that team was under. 500 and in a downward spiral facing injuries to their superstars.
The Turnovers are a red-flag and need to be improved on, but if your doing more good than bad, and you are winning every game, people will be more forgiving of some of those mistakes.

Not once but twice.

I found it mildly amusing as the writer who wrote the headline probably did. But, someone probably lost their job over this and it was in bad taste. You just can't publish something like that in this day and age.

 

[rymflaherty]

:lol:

I didn't think twice about that headline when I first just saw the pic.
It wasn't until the second post mentioning it until I realized what was up.

Yeah.....not a wise choice of words.

boomo you are slowly proving yourself to be the saddest New York sports fan in the world.

The team is 7-1 with Lin playing. They have beaten the Lakers (without Carmelo and Amare) and yes, they lost to the Hornets, but are beginning to prove they can be a top team in not just the East, but all of basketball.

Let us not forget that he is technically a rookie based on amount of time spent in the NBA. He is young and will learn and, once JR Smith and Carmelo are playing, will have quite a bit less turnovers. He's been given the reigns to do with as he pleases and will have those high TO games.

Imagine going from not worthy of a bench spot to starting PG WITHOUT having any time in training camp to familiarize yourself with the coach and team.

its more about pricing. how can a card that got 7 dollars be getting 2200.00 now?
this is not helping anything cept the few lucky jerks who had one. does the assnut who is paying
the 2200 think he will get 4000 for it soon? this is what makes me upset, that i have to
share my air with people that stupid.

Why would it upset you how other people spend their money? If someone wants to pay $2000 for a J. Lin rookie card rather than wait a month to pick it up for 20% of the price, then more power to them.

BECAUSE it proves lack of intelligence. Our world stands no chance of improvement the dumber down we get.

Sounds like someone didnt eat their Wheaties this morning and couldnt find any Lin cards in his commons to bank roll on! Dont get me wrong....neither did I.

I am with Boomo in a sense.....there are TOO MANY ignorants out there! But at the same time, that's how we make crap tons of profit on certain players when they get hot.
