Lin is actually not that bad. He averaged 12 points and 4.5 assists last season with limited minutes (~16-17 minutes/game). And he was forced off the starting line-up because Harden doesn't play defense, NOT because Lin is a bad starter. As Lin is an average defender and Harden never defends his man, Houston's defense is left with a big hole. They had to plug in Beverly to defend for Harden. Lin is a very aggressive player whose style is to attack the basket constantly. Yet, last season, Lin usually didn't even attempt a basket until the second half. Many times, he lost his defender and penetrated down low and had a wide open shot in front of him. Yet, he passed the ball out. He never did that when he was in NY. It was clear as day that he was told to hold off and to yield.

So I would expect Lin to perform much better with the Lakers, where he becomes one of the first options next to Kobe. With Kobe injured all the time, Lin could possibly become a primary option... Who knows...

Admit it...homeboy suck when he was with the Rockets. We'll see how he does in LA Lakers (gotta mention that now since the Clippers are the new darlings of the LA basketball scene).:p;)

No way the Clippers are the darlings.. They've never won a thing...A flash in the Pan. Give the Lakers two seasons they will be back.

Because of the brutality of the sport. Major injuries are common.

Umm...Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and a $2 Billion sale says a lot about the Clippers these days. They were the LA team's that went into the playoff despite the controversy and received many fan support. Yes the Lakers still have a huge fan base, but the Clippers are catching up as far as popularity goes.;)

Does anyone follow college sports?

I personally enjoy watching college basketball over the NBA except when I am rooting against Lebron James in the Playoffs! But other than that I love college football and basketball games. I graduated from Kansas State University so I favor the KSU Wildcats!

Let me guess, you're not to fond of the "Rock jock" Jayhawks fans either.:p I follow college football when there's a good match up going on. But I usually follow the NFL and the NBA are my professional sports league. I watch NHL hockey mostly during the playoffs.
