Part 2 of the story: J Lin teams up with Amare tonight, cant wait...

Battle of the rebound king goes to Kevin Love.

Outrebounded Dwight 15-7 last night. Damn Love is a baller.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Dwight was in foul trouble all night...

Whose fault was that?

 

[RipCity32]

I meant if like Pugz said where he painted it on. He could have got plugs though but I doubt it. I think it's real.

Fairly sure it's some sort of hair paint. I've seen it plenty of times lol.
No way that it's real. I didn't see the Bulls game before that one, but I'm assuming it looked nothing like that in that game.

 

[RipCity32]

Also, someone please make the Lin hype stop.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Whose fault was that?

Whether it's his fault or not, it doesn't mean that Kevin Love is a better rebounder. Dwight is averaging over 2 rebounds more per game...

I think it's a great story, but I do agree. He hasn't gone against anyone of note.

 

[RipCity32]

If he still plays well with both Amar'e and Carmelo, and they continue to win, I will be able to tolerate it.
But scoring a lot with the next best scorer being Fields, who isn't that great of a scorer to begin win, is not an accomplishment to me.

With Derrick Rose’s back issue, D-Will could start in the All-Star game.

Deron?

 

[Mexi]

i know people say lin hasnt gone against anyone, but how many fringe players have put up those type of numbers consecutively to start a career?

 

[elcheato]

His career didn't just start.

 

[Mexi]

ugh my mistake

he played sparingly before this past week though

if it's a fluke, it's quite an amazing fluke

 

[CameronCrazy06]

He played last year too.

 

[bosoxlover12]

he's not a rookie though....

 

[Mexi]

i know
even as a 2nd year player, he still played sparingly before this past week.

 

[RipCity32]

There is a reason he played sparingly, in my opinion. He didn't all of a sudden learn how to play the game of basketball at a higher level.

 

[Mexi]

meh
he was behind steph and monta. no minutes there
reggie williams was backup 1/2/3

dorrell wright played 38 minutes a game last year
monta 40

I also don't think two (or three?) teams released the guy because he was this good.

Right now I think his confidence is just sky high and he's on a hot streak scoring the ball.
