    I want to say Tim Tebow all over again, but Lin actually has game.

    Tim Tebow winning all of those games sort of felt like somebody choosing head 10 times in a row and hitting every single time. Improbable? Certainly. But skill? Almost certainly not. This Lin kid is something to watch ... he may cool off some once teams really start to scout him, but he looks like he can just flat out play.

    Kudos to D'Antoni for letting him play through the mistakes.

    You could be right but Toronto was defending him pretty hard, doubling him a lot of the fourth. Crazy.

    "Letting him play through his mistakes" doesn't seem to accurately definite this situation imo

    It's more like

    "He's playing at such a high level idc about the mistakes"

    Two different things

    They started playing him out of necessity though right? Injuries and shit play by their PGs kinda' forced D'Antoni's hand.

    I don't get why they let Love in. Is it some publicity to try and get more people to watch it? Johnson at least plays a position that regularly takes 3's. Channing Frye last year was almost the same way but Frye was shooting and making a lot more 3's then Love has this year.

    Why do you think he made the all-star team last year?

    Dunk contest will present: Paul George (my favorite of this lot), Derrick Williams, Iman Shumpert, and Chase Budinger.

    I wanted Lebron in there. And some stars, but they all seem above participating in this.

    I heard from my sources that Hillary would be more enthusiastic about taking you to bed than watching this dunk contest.

    Isiah Thomas starting for the Kings: plays 43 minutes, scores 23, gets 11 assists, is +11. Why did we take that three point shooter now in Greece over this guy again?
