    He's currently shooting 36% from the field and 23% from the three.

    Great work Jeremy!



    Okay this worked for Lowry. Hopefully those anti jinxed Lin too.

    Fingers crossed he starts hitting his three's more consistently. His inability to get his perimeter shot going is one of the reasons why the paint is so clogged. He's making it harder for himself.

    Next off season he should just concentrate on improving his shot instead of taking a tour of China and Taiwan again.

    Worked for Lowry in November of 2012, maybe it will work for another pg two years later.

    Harden is making it hard for Lin. He's becoming ballhog blackhole. Lin and Hardin CANNOT co-exist right now. They both need ball in their hands, using Lin as a spot-up shooter is just stupid. Lin should be primarily playmaker. Harden needs to learn how to be an off-ball scorer, he single-handedly killed everything what we build in preseason with our ball movement.

    If this works for Lin, then do it for Parsons and Asik also. Lin is shooting better than both of them.

    Or maybe him staying at the gym late shooting jumpshots would work. Either one.

    90%+ free throw shooter. Career 80%. That usually means that the player is capable of shooting. He just needs to get out of his slump.

    Oh, and fire that shooting coach of his.

    Some people don't understand the concept of a reverse jinx.


    Broadside of a barn might be too much to ask, you have to start off with something easy to hit, like the Pacific ocean.

    Lins form, arc, and body control are actually quite good. What's missing is his confidence from beyond the arc. It was evident last night when he was consistently passing up open shots to the corners.

    I dont think Lin is going to be a dead eye 3 point shooter this season, but in the future I think you will absolutely have to respect his shot which will give him that much more ability to get in the paint to create.

    This guy.... not worried.

    harden is a very good off-ball scorer. i just dont understand why mcfail would use harden as ballhandler and make lin do catch-and-shooot

    Don't be delusional, he just stands in corner like Lin. Only thing is that he is better catch&shoot player, but he can't score off screens. He is no Kevin Martin.
