Lin looks to me like another Yao Ming/Asian injury prone type. Those Asian bones just aren't as strong to withstand the wear and tear of an NBA season. I was shocked Lin made it through last year healthy, and that will prove to be an anomaly.

Dantoni is a horrible coach. With all that talent he had last year, they ended up an 8th seed? And he still kept his job?

I'm afraid you really mean that.

Not really, it's just that people of that size just have issues. I'm not talking about 7-footers, I'm talking about people well past that. Look up any notable giant. I remember watching some program on the tallest living guy, and his bones are all messed up and he can barely stand up perfectly straight. I'm sure Manut Bol had some injuries too.
