Lin is more of a point than Murray

Not really what I was getting at...

In 2002 an unheralded guard named Ronald "Flip" Murray, who played his college ball at a Mississippi junior college and Division II’s Shaw University, was drafted in the second round by the Milwaukee Bucks. He played all of 42 minutes (scoring a total of 23 points) in Milwaukee before being a throw-in in the trade that sent Ray Allen to Seattle* and Gary Payton to Milwaukee. The following season Flip Murray would be the star of his very own version of “Linsanity.” Granted his was cooler because his name was "Flip." Over his first 11 starts Murray averaged 23.9 points per game on 50 percent shooting while dominating defenses. As the season continued, and teams began to learn how to guard him, Murray’s star began to fade. His shooting percentage dropped and with it his minutes. By the end of the year Murray was averaging a little over 12 points per game and had settled into his role as an average back-up guard. This is all to say that despite what many will tell you, there is a precedent for this kind of explosion, and it doesn't guarantee success. Don’t be shocked if Jeremy Lin regresses to the mean.

Nets going for their 8th loss in a row. I dont think Deron ever imagined this to happen to him once he was traded to the Nets, lol.

They honestly wouldn't be that bad if Brook wasn't hurt and MarShon didn't miss a lot of time.

Shaq picked a shitload of PGs for his team.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Who did he pick?

 

[Giantmetfan07]

from what I can remember, he took Lin, Knight, Rubio, Griffin, Kemba. He had like 5 or 6 guards. ridiculous.

Shaq is an idiot for not taking Wall, did he not watch last year's game? The Griffin-Wall duo ran shit.

 

[DJT]

John Wall dropped.

I like Shaq's team though.

Griffin, Lin, Rubio, Monroe, Keef Morris...

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

How did Wall fall so low?

How did Lin and Cole get in the game?

 

[DJT]

I guess they decided Lin needed to be in, and had to add in another guy.

 

[SaintFan25]

Raymond needs to go, too bad his trade value is probably shit.

 

[RipCity32]

Lol. Sleeping on Greg I see.

Shaq is an idiot for not taking Wall, did he not watch last year's game? The Griffin-Wall duo ran shit.

Shaq hasn't ever watched an NBA game

He's dead space on TNT. He just yells stupid stuff and gives captain obvious analysis

Didn't realize that not only was Lance Thomas back on the Hornets, but that he was getting solid PT. I'm a fan.
