[Chron] Rockets’ oft-criticized Lin promises improvement

At least Lin ins't discouraged. No doubt he will get better int the off season, but will it be enough.

He desperately needs a cross over and consistency in his shot.

 

Good article. Thanks for posting. I wouldn't expect any less from Lin. I hope to see him back & better next season.

 

Of course someone rated it 1 star.

 

He better improve, but hopefully we can pick up a star PG in the summer and won't have to care about him anymore.

 

Positive article.

Have gained a lot of respect for Mr. Lin -- he's holds him accountable for all of his actions.

Refreshing.

I must say CarolNYC, you have really made my husband and I into fans of Mr. Lin.

We followed Mr. Harden here from OKC lol

Look forward to seeing your postings next season!

 

I definitely hope so. He can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk?

Let's see. I am patient, and more than willing to give chances.

 

he walks the walk better than someone who talks talks talks

 

Your reply is baffling.

I did not compare him to anyone in my post, I hope he can live up to his promises, and I sincerely hope he does great!

But again, with the knee-jerk defensiveness ... just unbelievable.

 

Need some Kenny Smith workouts

 

He's been walking the walk his whole life. Where have you been?

 

Lins not going anywhere.....top scoring back court in the NBA? Lin is not the problem. Down low is where the problem is....get a 4 that's nasty and can score....improve the bench....and the natural improvement of these young players will get the rockets to the promised land

 

If he can improve as the Rocket's starting PG, then more power to him and the Rockets. I look forward to see if he can show us the same offseason improvement that Lowry showed.

 

Too bad we had to sign him instead of Dragic. Would have been nice to have the Dragon in the playoffs. Lin is not good and seems to be weak. He gets tired easily. It will be hard to dump his contract so he better do some HGH and/or Steroids or something in the offseason as well as develop a 3 point shot, cause we're stuck with him.

 

just let it go, its almost a year since we let Dragic go and you still cant move on?

 

I'm tired of Lin talking about how he needs improvement, etc. This whole good-guy, try-hard thing just feeds the feeling out there that he's not good and he's just an asian marketing gimmick. I'm not saying he doensn't need to improve. Hell, Harden needs to improve too.

I'm just saying that he needs to approach this differently. I'd much rather Lin say something like:

"This was my first full year as a starter and it went very well. We accomplished a lot as a team, and I was a big part of that. Like everyone else, I'm a young player with room to improve, but this whole team, myself included, had an excellent showing our first year together and I look forward to us all growing together in the future."

When Tiger shoots a 70 in the opening round of the Masters and is 4 off the pace, you don't hear him talk about needing to improve, try hard. Tiger says this is a good start, I'm right there where I need to be, etc.

The NBA is a league of confidence and whether you have it or not, you better act like it. Not act like an ass, or pound your chest when you suck. But choose your words in a way that shows self confidence, and does not leave open the room for others to beat you down.

I don't doubt Lin's heart or commitment to the game. I do wonder if he's enough of a dick to take it to the next level.

 

jeremy better talk with his buddies novak and curry on how to improve his 3s to a high 30th percentile.

33 is respectable, but he has to bring it to 38. im sure he can do this with his mentality. mchale actually did well in developing him, spot up 3pt shooting gives nba players longevity in the league.

cant wait for the new season

 

This is great to hear. I'm one of the ones that likes to speculate about trades and just mess around with the roster, but when it comes down to it, Jeremy is more than likely going to be our starting PG next year, and I can't wait to see if he holds good to his promises! He's such a genuine guy so I believe it.

 

So glad there's some positive reinforcement coming from the people that actually matter.

Lin will improve. He has the right menality to push himself to get better, to be like the Tony Parkers and Mike Conleys of the league (not saying he will, but that he wants to be)

 

Dentyne....I must commend you on your positive postings. BTW, are you in HI?
