[2014-15] Jeremy Lin as a Los Angeles Laker

Congrats on the 1 average game per month in his quota, that came against the worst team in the league. In a loss. 14 points and 3 assists, amazing stuff from a CBL player. 4 yrs in college, 5 in nba, still Franchise player potential.

 

You would know he didn't change his game tonight if you have watched the game. He just got hot tonight. He was playing the same way as before(being a pure point guard like what BS asked for). He made many good passes or hockey passes but some of those easy layups were missed by his big fellows.

 

The best player for the Lakers tonight was R Kelly, 20 pts and 5 rebounds

I believe he could fly

Lin had 14 total points, I don't know how someone here called it 'all star' stats.

Lin has had a rough season, and it happened at a bad time — just ahead of free agency this summer. While some of that has been the result of a bad fit in LA, it's also been Lin's own struggles with his shooting, particularly from mid-range.

He would make a good backup point guard, and the Lakers would move him if they could get an asset in return, but the market for Lin has been weak.

 

These are halftime stats. Second half he went back to his passive self.

Two points in 11 minutes.

Can anyone explain to me why you would go away from what had been working for you in the first half?

He was being aggressive and also looking for his shots in the first half.

He went passive into the second half.

Why? He was getting and making his shots in the first half so why hesitate?

 

Goodluck LA. Houston had to give an asset to get rid of lins hot garbage contract

 

If this were a serious question I would answer that it was a combination of them defending more aggressively and the ball not coming back out to him after he initiated the 'offense'. He was actually making some pretty good passes in there, but the guys weren't finishing well. You'll notice Clarkson, who started with a similar 6-8 line ended 6-14.

 

but **** lofs amirite

 

There are a group of Lin fans who are just nuts. It was amazing how fast they got the Lakers beat writers pissed at them... and actually seem to think that "correcting" any perceived slight is a great idea and helps him out because of all the haters and racists. Which, for some strange reason make up a majority of members of the press and coaches.

I feel sorry for Lin that they have latched on to him.

 

And you still can't talk about Lin without going after other posters. Maybe you should get a gym membership, work out those frustrations that you obviously come here to exercise.

 

Fact is stranger than fiction



Before there was Jeremy Lin, there was Kevin Maas.

Kevin Maas was a baseball player who had a very similar career to Lin in many aspects. Maas still holds the record for fewest at bats to reach 10 homeruns and a couple of homerun records by a player in their rookie year. He was called up mid-season so he only played half a season's worth of baseball but what he did during that time made people think he was the next great hitter for the Yankees. However, pitchers figured him out by the following year when he played a full season. He couldn't hit the breaking ball. Once the book was out on him all he saw afterwards were mostly breaking balls.

In his rookie year, he had 21 homeruns with only 254 at bats.
In his sophmore year, he had 23 homeruns with 500 at bats.

He never did figure out how to correct his weakness. Occasionally he could hit it but most times he can't. And since he wasn't really good at other aspects of the game like fielding (they made him the designated hitter so he didn't have to play defense) it made his weakness look that much more significant.

Kevin Maas saw less and less playing time in the years afterwards riding the bench.

When the Yankees released Maas, he bounced between three other teams (the Reds, Padres and Twins) on short term contracts hoping to revive his career but nothing came out of them.

Eventually, he ended up in Asia where he signed a contract to play baseball with the Hanshin Tigers in Japan. This would be the last stint of his baseball career.

He's a smart guy so don't feel too sorry for him. Kevin Maas now works as a financial consultant at Charles Schwab.

Cursing Yao Ming for being the first successful Asian player but they couldn't relate to him.

National TV so no surprise he would mail it in. Saves him from choking on the big stage as per usual

 

Trade coming?

 

aka non stop diarrhea

 

Wouldn't be the first time he took a dump on the court.

 

My god that stretch of games during linsanity was truly remarkable because the guy is beyondb terrible.

 

National TV audience, contract year and the guy puts in a scrub like, cowardly, p***y performance and yet we have Lin fans teling us he is being marginalzied and held back.
