If we sign him, he’ll disappoint us, and this board will become a Linch mob.

Or he could play well, make us a contender a be a real Linchpin.

What I wouldn’t have given for Lin or McConnell last fall.

[Mori Chu]

So....Anyone want to do that Jersey numbers dealy?

LOL. You'll take these puns and you'll like it!!

[Cap]

We can keep doing this all offseason. There’s a Linfinity of puns to be made on the name.

Aren’t we supposed to do it Lin order?

[Shabazz]

Yeesh. You guys are relintless.

[Cap]

Better here making Linsipid puns than getting Linto trouble on the streets.

SDC just doubling and tripling down on the earnest "we should sign Jeremy Lin" posts while all pun hell breaks loose around him is my favorite part of this thread.

Ain’t it grand? It is a Linstant classic.

This thread is making me want Lintil soup, which is weird because I don’t even like it.

Here are FiveThirtyEight's predictions for the next NBA season. 538 is not a sports site primarily; they crunch numbers and stats and data. So mostly I don't take their views too seriously. But it's interesting to see where they think the data points for the season to come. For example, they like the 76ers and Rockets (!) best among all NBA teams in terms of likelihood to make the Finals. They have our Suns as the 5th-worst team.

If you use their playoff filter, which takes a few bad players out of the rotation(okobo, Carter) and lessens minutes for negative players(Kaminsky) and increases minutes for positive players, our win total jumps to 44. Now of course you’d have to do that for every team to be fair, but it pretty much lists us as a league average team with our playoff rotation. That rotation is essentially, Rubio-Booker-Bridges-Saric-Ayton-Johnson-Oubre-Kaminsky-Baynes

But with an impressive 16 win increase from last year to 35 wins.

Actually, 7th-worst.

And with a 13% chance to make the playoffs (which I think is being generous).
