wow Steven a SMITH really hates lin

[Knicksfever2010]

calling him a marginal/average player. sad sad sad. very funny how knicks started sucking when melo came back

[IGOTGAME]

I really don't think he is that much different from Ramon Sessions. And, Sessions is considered an average player.

[Teanett]

or pointing out he's not on a superstar level when jeremy plays for the minimum...

[Go Getter]

Why does he have to hate Lin to have that opinion?

Take AI for example, many people have various opinions and rankings of his game, that doesn't necessarily mean that hate AI even though he had a polarizing personality/&situations/image off the court.

wow, this is the 2nd thread about how SAS hates Lin.. who cares?

7-1 baby!
38 vs the lakers, baby!
MADE RUBIO HIS BITSCH IN THE CLUTCH!!!

I don't think SAS hates Lin, he doesn't like him but he's not obligated to.

But I do think he manipulates facts to fit his theory. He's talking about how the knicks weren't succesful cause dantoni was minimizing melo/amare for jeremy lin and he wasn't using melo and amare to their fullest.

Now he's using the 3-0 since dantoni's departure as evidence that he was right. the issue is that Woodson's been using Dantoni offense in the last 3 games, a LOT of pick n rolls and very fast pace, melo and amare have been featured even less and Lin still took a lot of shots.

so yea knicks are 3-0 since dantoni left but SAS is attributing it to something that's not true

no he hates lin. im not saying anything you are saying is wrong s far as Lin's talent, etc., but he hates lin. He's mean spirited, and circles conversations that have nothing to do with Lin back around to him just to take shots. He was covering for MIchael Kay last week in NY and he was ridiculous with the Lin bashing.

if he hates lin it's prolly the same reason he hates tebow, he had a strong opinion on them in the beginning and wants to be proven right.

reporters destroy players every day all day....for on court stuff and for personal agendas


why should lin be immune to it?

because he's Asian?


or do you only NOTICE because he's Asian?

There's a difference when most analysts think Lin is a good player, and one (a notorious racist) hates him.

nothing ever discussed on this board is earth shattering. Waht is your point? OP could notice because he's gay for Lin and it doesn't make the point right or wrong.

[SacJB Shady]

Were all still talking about LIN! I think i have casted a spell or something

[get these NETS]

I can think of about 15 cases where a non Asian player was being dogged by a tv or radio guy.(for whatever reason)

I got over it..so you get over this.

(notorious racist?) funny..............................

[niko]

Are people saying the way he talks about him is normal just talknig out their ass or talking after hearing SAS speak? Because the way he talks about Lin is beyond normal "i don't like his game". His analysis of MDA being fired was "i hate Lin, i hate Lin fans, Lin fans are stupid, people who don't like Melo are stupid because they must love Jeremy Lin, you know, those kind of people, the stupid people, who think Jeremy Lin does not suck." He could not get off the topic.

[IGOTGAME]

I like Lin the basketball player.

I don't like how his story has spun and how it has put forth stereotypes about African Americans and Asians. Especially in this case when they couldn't be more incorrect.

Also, I don't know why you would think he hates Lin. Hate really is a strong word.
