That's not his role. They were walking around scoring at will. Given he was facing one of the shittiest teams in the league and looked lost throughout 3rd quarter i would just cross fingers and slow down with bandwagoning. Kid looked weak. Hopefully tired/unimportant easy game. | ||

Not that there's anything wrong with bandwaggoners as I'm sure the majority of those are of people who appreciate his underdog story. | ||

This was one of his best games and he only didn't get 20 points again cause it was garbage time, so he didn't play the 4th qtr. Too funny what haters will come up with these days to try to belittle his performances. MVP!! MVP! MVP!! | ||

There's obviously a lot of hate-bias going on there. | ||

I like Lin. I watch Knicks games now which I was careless for prior to Lin. I offered my own critisism on his preaching, then he plays mediocre AT BEST and I cant even mention it? I know yaall been fans and first twitter friends of his prior to Harvard, not disputing your fandom. Just expressing own view. | ||

Tebow was a first round draft pick, even if it was a highly questionable selection, and was a two time champion at a top ranked SEC school. Lin was undrafted, and played his ball at a school that doesn't even give sports scholarships. Tebow was the most sought after QB coming out of high school. Lin couldn't even get a chat with a number of coaches, and in the best situations, was getting a chance to walk on at various teams. Tebow was statistically garbage all season at his intended position, and only received the recognition he did because his D was fantastic for a majority of the season, which put him in position to lead a couple game winning drives with clutch plays. Lin has played good if not great in every game, for a vast majority of the time he has been on the court. Win records are a really nebulous stat in sports, but both are winners using that. The difference tebow was winning due to circumstances (D playing great, lots of turnovers, whatever) whereas the Knicks are on a six game streak because he has kicked ass for 35 min a night. In almost all his games Tebow played terribly up until the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. Lin, even with the ridiculously small sample size he has been given (aside: six games really is shit and it is totally fair to ask if he can keep it up), has pretty much played well all game long in most situations. And that is without the help of the big two for the most part. Lin is a legit underdog in every sense of the word. Tebow is an overrated player who is doing his best to shed that label and prove that he can play. You can't possibly do what he's done and been an underdog. Thank you! also, i hate tebow lol | ||

Triple double or GTFO! I think people have gone from having really low expectations to WAY TOO HIGH. So he'll have great games, but people are expecting 38 points every game now haha | ||
