Good god! Asik - 15 boards in 28 mins :wtf:

:bowdown: :bowdown:
His stamina is pretty damn good now too! Carroll Dawson (Asik's big man coach) is a magician :bowdown:
I would be absolutely shocked if Asik became as good as Noah (numberwise), but now it doesn't seem so out of the question :bowdown:

get used to it. he had a 14.9 offensive rebound rate last year (2nd in the league). wouldn't surprise me at all if he finishes top 5 in rebounding.
defense is also elite. good in the post, has great agility and quickness to pair with his instincts on help defense and is also adept at guarding the P&R well.
when he & taj were on the court together, they were rebounding/defense hounds.
as far as stamina...it's always been there. the big man coach is going to have his work cut out for him on the offensive end. he has to have his shot set up and his hands aren't great. he does finish strongly at the rim though.
asik's out for blood *****

Linsanity is over. He'll still put up solid numbers but he'll never again even come near to what he did during Linsanity.

Yup, the little hype train that could...
He had two weeks or so where he was MVP-worthy. I don't think he'll be like that from here on out but I didn't see him do anything that seemed completely unsustainable. If Houston is willing to live with a ton of turnovers a 17/8 or better season is what I'm expecting. But if they feel like his TOs are killing them then they'll have a 10/5 part-time starter.
actually i think he played great last night. Him and kevin martin looked great together. lin is alot stronger and faster than last season, his handles is alot better also. i think he will have a handful of linsanity type of games this season.

He has looked average in both gamers so far but it's the pre season so it dosent matter. We need him to play well in the regular season.
7 assists to 2 TOs vs the Hornets.
That in itself is a sign of good things to come.
9 pts 7 assists 2 st in 20 min? not bad imo

the sad thing is most people didnt think this would happen. I know for a fact you thought he could keep it up.

yep, dude has a hell of a motor and good instincts to go with above average quickness and athleticism. Definitely a good pick up for houston, probably better than lin.
this has to be the worst thread title ever
[QUOTE=Clutch]Linsanity is over. He'll still put up solid numbers but he'll never again even come near to what he did during Linsanity.[/QUOTE]
anyone who expected him to is a dumbass who very limited reasoning. That 14? game stretch was a perfect storm that played to lin's strengths and allowed him to play above and beyond himself. It wont be matched. his stat production during that stretch was comparable with some of the best lines in history (granted it was only 14? games).
But he will be a decent and serviceable pg on that team. McHale is a smart coach and lin is a great fit for how he runs an offense. Cant wait to see Asik's improvement, both with a larger role and mchale's influence.

I never said such a thing. I knew he couldn't keep that up (averaging 25/8 or whatever during the whole season). But I said it wasn't impossible for him to average 15/7 over the longer time period which I still think he's able to do if he gets enough shots and touches.
Jeremy Lin got his payday. Doubt he cares anymore. He's set for life.
[QUOTE=ihoopallday]Jeremy Lin got his payday. Doubt he cares anymore. He's set for life.[/QUOTE]
How would you know that? There are a lot of players that make more than him, are they all just coasting too?
He didn't have a bad game (9/7/2 with only 2 TOs) and even if he did it doesn't matter because it's just preseason.
Thread fail.
I imagine Lin will put up something like 14 and 7 on a decent clip. If he can keep his TO's low, probably will be a top 20 PG.
I really do hope he wasn't all hype though. That would be truly disappointing.
what do people expect him to do in a preseason game? score 35 and 10?
He will still have his moments. Once you've tasted the sweetness and the glory of dominating a game, you are changed forever. It is a mental thing. Most NBA players have not experienced it but Lin has. He will find his way back.
Generally he will be fairly average but there will always be that potential lurking. I will appear again. Definitely.

Yeah I was really devastated we couldn't hang on to him. We're really going to miss him if/when Noah goes down again.

I was face-palming that I believe there's actually enough morons in this world that something so idiotic could happen.
You know, It seems like Linsanity was just the NBA's futile attempt at creating their own Tebowmania.
Stats aren't everything, he played pretty good, and looks sharper as far as overall play goes. Scoring isn't everything...

Once you really realize it you'll start :cry: instead.
He looks horrible right now.
Lin stinking it up so far :roll: :roll: :roll:
Felton >>>> Lin
0-9 so far today damn.
[QUOTE=Dbrog]Good god! Asik - 15 boards in 28 mins :wtf:[/QUOTE]
He was playing against Sacre or someone even lower on the lineup the majority of the time. Not to mention Gasol.
