sure points on the scoreboard matter. along with the observations and events contributing to the score, all of which you've conveniently ignored because it exposes the mental midget weaknesses of your favorite player.
So you are "measuring" this by what exactly? Points on the scoreboard don't matter according to you. Player's performance doesn't matter according to you. What exactly can you base it on?
funny, you weren't saying jack the first four games when he was finishing just fine. you mad that i destroyed any credibility you had? been the trend in multiple threads. yeah, you mad!
oh and sunday LOL: LOL at you changing your stance after the best pg of all time compared lin to nash.
I didn't see any of his first four games.

So what are you basis for it then? What observations? What weaknesses? You speak in such vague terminology on this matter, and anything I do to present data to refute said vague assertions are only met with mocking that trying to quantify it is silly. So, why don't you tell me what you mean and how you arrive to that conclusion?
You could say that about any hard fought finals...
In the end there can be only one. :biggrin:
and that's all that needs to be said, folks.
what a liar and a clown.
I don't need to watch someone play four games to know that it is utterly moronic to claim someone is better than a HOFer and one of the greatest of all time at their position.
Go back to the NBA thread and look at my predictions for this season. I picked the Knicks to go to the ECF ahead of the Bulls. I haven't wavered on that prediction because I knew they were decent PG play away from that kind of run. BDiddy would be competent enough to carry that torch. The emerging option of him or Lin bodes well for my prediction. I don't think he's a bad player, but I don't think he is an All Star in a stacked PG league right now, muchless a HOFer.
were you blind to the lakers / nets / wizards / jazz game where he drove left without any issues?
oh, you just don't mention it because he finished without any issues in those games. got it.
here's your homework assignment. go back to last year's nba thread, and read what all the mavs fans on this board wrote during the finals. then again, you know what i'm talking about, but you continue sticking to your boxscore only arguments.
I probably have more posts in the NBA Playoffs thread from last year than any other single person. I know what is in there, why don't you provide some substance and back up your claims? You continue to be vague. You are making the claim, back it up. Especially if it is so clear.
LOL, quick google search, even made Time. jesus.

"James has scored a measly four points in the fourth quarters of the last three games you can picture Jordan shaking his shaved head right now, wondering why anyone would put he and James in the same sentence."
dodge more, mental midget.
yeah we know, you're a piss poor analyst and don't watch games, only boxscores. we established that last year.
Again, you contend that Rubio was forcing Lin left into help for no good reason? They devised such a strategy simply for the fun of it? They didn't watch any tape at all to support such a strategy, they just sat around twiddling their thumbs and said "hey, you want to force Lin left tonight?" "Yeah, sure. Why not?"
Okie dokie. Clearly there's little point speaking to such a blind homer.
I agree, but what probably was also a factor is that Rubio and friends partially figured Lin out for the second half.The Timberwolves game was Lin's 4th game in 5 days and it was a back to back game going from playing at New York to playing at Minnesota.
I'm not going to judge Lin for a single bad performance considering the above and the first time he got any major minutes began on 2/4 against New Jersey.
Lin started with 15 points, 7/12 shooting, and 4 assists in the first half, then faded HARD in the second half due to schedule and the amount of minutes D'antoni has Lin playing because the Knicks have to lean on him in order for the current team to run well.
The kid needs some rest and he's getting some now and will bring back linsanity on Tuesday against Toronto.
Also, the most significant thing about Lin isn't his stats. It's that the Knicks are on a 5 game winning streak with no star players and bench players, and Lin is the reason why some of these non-star/bench players are stepping up and that the Knicks are playing as a team both offensively and defensively.
We're comparing Lin to Nash in a serious context? Seriously? Nash in his prime was averaging 11 assists a game, 18pts, 45% from 3 pt range, and won two MVP trophies. He makes passes that Jeremy Lin couldn't see if he was watching on a TV.

The effect Lin has had on the Knicks is what you would expect on a team going from piss poor PG play to good PG play. The biggest difference between the Orlando Magic that went to the Finals versus the crappy team they are now is that Jameer Nelson is a shadow of his former self. They went from good PG play to piss poor PG play.
Looking ahead 3 of the next 4 games should be W's too. That should have the Knicks winning 8 of 9 with Lin playing, so expect the buzz to get louder.
