Byron Scott is a fking retard.

[3peated]

Last night he played everyone like 20 minutes, but all season he wants to play kobe 40 minutes? Oh and he didnt play Lin at all. Seriously this racist piece of shit needs to be taken out of the NBA. I hope he becomes the next Lamar Odom, I'm so angry at how terrible of a coach he is, it's frustrating to watch even if it's "tank4okafor" season.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[Quickening]

He is wanting to tank, so it makes sense to play Kobe for as long as possible with his shot chucking, low percentage play.

[gts]

With Kobe out they'll change tactics and go into getting prepped for the offseason and next year..

We'll see lots of different rotations as Kupchak and Scott take a look at the players and see who they want to bring back and who'll get jettisoned

[Shih508]

Tanking = playing Kobe, since Kobe is injured, he has to subtract JLin to make up the tanking contribution Kobe provided to stay tanking :oldlol:

[navy]

Tank.

Are you trying to say that lin is not a scrub? :oldlol:

If 10/4/2 on good shooting with limited minutes is scrub status, 70% of NBA players are scrubs.

70 percent of nba players are scrubs, lin is probably in the top 50 so he isnt

[Shih508]

Lin > Kobe by a mile in terms of helping a team win at this point of their perspective careers

[Ariza4three]

no way in hell is lin in the top 50 nba players

[chocolatethunder]

There are 450 players in the NBA. To try in any way to imply or to say that Lin is anywhere near the top 50 is beyond ridiculous.

[KungFuJoe]

Lin is putting up 11/5/3 with 2 TO on 45% shooting. On 25mpg.

That's more than respectable. I feel like everyone, even coaches, still hold him to his Linsanity numbers and when he can't reproduce them, they just think "he sucks".

I've said this many times but I think Linsanity is biting him in the ass these days.

And no one seems to give him any slack for having to play on this absolute mess of a Lakers team that is in obvious tank mode. And he also spent the majority of the time playing next to Kobe.

Stop. No one would go out of their way to criticize Lin if people would stop overrating him. He's an average PG, and in the playoffs a VERY below average PG. Nothing more.

Stop? Stop what. Do you even read the posts you reply to? Who is overrating Lin? I said respectable numbers.

You know Lin is putting up similar numbers to your boy Ariza in TEN LESS minutes per game on much better efficiency.

I don't give two shits about Trevor Ariza. His defense is MUCH more important to Houston than whatever the **** Jeremy Lin brought to the table though.
No one that isn't Asian gives a f*ck that Lin can put up prime Luke Ridnour numbers. No one. So shut the **** up.

No, everyone watches him play and realizes that he's not good. He's not a good defender and he's so far from being the top 50 in the NBA it's laughable.

Do you think that there's a league wide conspiracy to not give him time? There aren't enough good players in the league for a coach to not play him because he's not "playing up to Linsanity." No chance. Be real about it and admit that he's just not that good.

[RedBlackAttack]

Byron got his PhD in tanking during his three year stint in Cleveland. The organization really put on a master class in the art of tankage. They were even up-front about it. Publicly, it was called a "three-year plan." Everyone knew what that meant.

Lakers fans would be wise to follow Scott's lead on this.

Calm down, kid. It's just basketball. Btw, ftfy.

[Ariza4three]

Lin has put up 19/6/4 on 50% shooting? No. Now shut the **** up.

Neither did Jameer dumbass.

[Ariza4three]

17/5/3.5 on 50%*
Better than anything that ***** Lin will do in his career.

[strifed169]

It is impressive though, getting the kind of production he gets in the worst offense and under the dumbest coach i've ever seen, he is usually a playmaker first, running the shit plays, and doesn't even get much screens, if any, his stat line should impress, and it boggles my ****ing mind that Scott still thinks Ronnie-O-fer is better.

[poido123]

Or a genius to help the Tank?




:biggums:

Jameer sucks.


Both of them.

[Kidbasketball20]

It's hilarious how people will actually post statistical EVIDENCE for why Lin should be starting and the Anti-Lin group says, "No, everyone knows he sucks"


it's ridiculous.

[HOoopCityJones]

All you need to know about Lin is he has a low Bball IQ and he's shit defender.

His bad play far outweighs the good.

Any Laker fan has seen just how shit Lin actually is, with or without Kobe.

Because Byron Scott is an amazingly gifted coach who is getting the best out of all his players. :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

What ****ing players? Phil Jackson himself would have the worst record of his career coaching this Team. Even Lebron , the ultimate "get the most outta my Squad" Player would commit ritual suicide playing for this Team. ( or go to Miami for "rehab")

The Corpse of Carlos Boozer
Ronnie "garbage" Price
Rookie Jordan Clarkson
Ed Davis
Jordan Hill
Wes "Hot garbage" Johnson
Rob Sacre
Tarik Black

Aside from maybe Nick Young, none of those guys are even viable fourth or fifth options on any Team in the league. That's not even mentioning your Boy Lin. Who in my opinion is the worst player on our Team any given game.

Ive said it once and i'll say it again, Lin's good play is too far and between the bad. That's his ****ing problem. **** Linsanity, they should call him Night and Day, because i'll admit he's capable of going off but it's not something I would label consistent or even constant. He's hit or miss.

If we're gonna play those odds we were better off resigning Jordan Farmar.

So after all your pointless blabbering you end up saying Lin is inconsistent.


I wonder if he had decent teammates and a DECENT COACH how his consistency would do. His strength is team basketball.

WAKE UP

Had that in Houston and he was still a non factor.:confusedshrug: Got his spot taken by a streaky shooting defensive PG. Was seen as expendable by the GM.

No one even respects Lin, only guy I know who'll drive to the cup with all types of contact and wont get the benefit of the whistle. When he tries to plead his case to Refs he's often ignored. Just watch the games you ****ing thundercunt. :facepalm

Lin has shown promise on some nights , but like I said, it's too hot and cold.

Byron DnPing him is basically his early notice that we wont be needing his services in the future. If you think a move like that came strictly from Byron, you're an idiot.

Kevin McHale is a DECENT COACH?!?! You are beyond insane and stupid.




You realize how stupid you are? How stupid you sound? You literally know nothing about basketball.

Hell yea he's decent. Any average Coach is decent with a good roster.

Did I say he was great or even good? no.

One simple question I want you to answer tho.

Is Lin the best player on the Lakers, yes or no?

No, obviously Kobe is more skilled as a player. But that has nothing to do with anything.

Lin plays best when teammates pass the ball and aren't ball hogging ISO players (Boozer, Swaggy, Kobe).

And you are so stupid. Kevin McHale is a decent coach? You are insane. No wonder you have such stupid ideas.

[pastis]

lets not gonna act that kobe would be d'accord only playing like 28-30 min a game. Kobe wanna play, no matter what. thats kobe.
on the one hand this is good, cause he has the winning spirit, on the other hand this might hurt the team more than it benefits the team.

actually this lakers team is not thaaaaat bad. boozer is shooting 13ppg on 50%, then you have lin, kobe, young.....

if lakers would play in the east, they might be able to compete for the 8th....that would help team spirit a lot, knowing you can get the 8th even with a pretty bad record.

They pass to Lin all the time and let him control the tempo of the game , your view on the situation is too skewed in Lin's favor. It's his job to **** up.

The biggest indication of this is how Ghost you are in the game threads when he's stinking up the joint. Specifically when Lillard torched his ass.

Now I know you're ****ing stupid.

When Lin in at PG Swaggy P, Kobe, or Price has the ball most often not Lin. You are just making shit up now. First with the coach, then with Lin's skill, then with his actual role on the team.


You've now 3 for 3 with your bullshit.

[KungFuJoe]

BS going with the same starting five.

Hill, Sacre, Kelly, Ellington, Clarkson
