so is lin the new tebow?

ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL HE DOES IS LIN

so is lin the new tebow?

Maybe if he only scored in the 4th quarter, but then people would just call him Nega-Lebron. The only decent stat game Tebow has had was against the broken down Steelers in the first round of the playoffs.

[GRT]

People are making excuses for Lin's performance just like they did for Tebow's wins though.

Just read Rhino's posts

"Terrible opponents, terrible defense, terrible opposing PGs blah blah blah."

[Tymon]

Well he plays Rubio tomorrow


Too bad Rubio doesn't play defense

[Cleverness]

Rubio prolly plays more defense than Fisher, and isn't old and decrepit.

[Cail]

yea, its not like rubio has the 3rd best steal avg (1st total) in the league or anything

[Akiyama]

I don't need to look at stats. Lakers perimeter defense is just bad. Lin torched both Steve Blake and Derek fisher both who would be in the back of benches of other winning teams.

Lin didn't only torch the lakers at the rim. He did it behind the 3pt line and with his jumper.

What don't you understand? You're essentially saying the same thing I am.

I usually say.. 5+ 3s is more 'torching" than just making a couple. Guess it was just a poor case of wording.

[kisada]

lol fucking clueless.

rubio is already one of the better defensive pgs in the league.

[Rhinox]

He is? Ask him how Derrick rose's ass taste considering he torched him.

Btw feels good man.

14 of rose's 31 in that game came in the first quarter, before rubio was a starter.

The two electrifying point guards were neck-and-neck for the final three quarters. Rose had 17 points on 6-of-15 shooting with nine assists and three turnovers in the final 36 minutes while Rubio had 11 points on 5-for-10 shooting with 12 assists, four steals and four turnovers.

"Rubio played a hell of a game," Rose said.

The Bulls knew the Wolves were playing their third game in three nights, and they came out firing. Rose scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first quarter and the Bulls hit 20 of their first 29 shots.

"He's great," Rubio said. "It's hard to defense him. Maybe he's one of the best, if not the best, player I've ever played against. ... It's hard to guard him. He's the fastest guy I ever played."

yeah but the other 19 came against Rubio. with 16 coming in the 4th qtr alone to put the Twolves away.

[Rhinox]

also you can't pull that third game in three days bullshit cause the bulls have had that as well and have only lost 1 of those games.

[Kaslo]

lol Sportscenter was just showing signs from MSG last night... there was an Impossibru sign lol

[Dimmauk]

Yellow Mamba has scored 114 points in the last four games.

The Notebook has scored only 36 in the last four games.

Clearly, Lin > Rose.

Look it up.
