This is pretty much the point that people are missing. During Linsanity Lin would often have a rough first quarter or even first half and then explode in the fourth. He gives the team what they need when they need it if the coach places trust in him.
Is Lin's role on this team to score 20+ points? Make up your mind before you talk out of both sides of your mouth.
I agree with you on Bev, but since when was Lin "a legit all star"? And Lin is an expendable piece. Come on, man. Be real.
Mike d's concept: shoot shoot shoot He will be mad if you are not shooting. He won't be mad if you miss it. He will be happy if yo don't pass it.:grin:
When i checked like a month ago Jimmer Fredette was like 10th among PGs in PER. Are u saying hes a top ten PG?
Lin is too passive. He needs to get to the basket. He's settling for outside shot, and in particular the 3 and he's not really consistent from that range. His defense has fallen off, and Im starting to see some doubt creeping in. Add to that the fact that McHale has a quick trigger and Bev is playing well and you have a recipe for a slump.
He is 37th right below Jeremy Lin. I think it would have been very hard for him to have been in the top 10.
He played less under Woodson cause after a few games together, they started to blow the hell out of teams, games would be over in the 2nd quarter.
Doesn't matter that he's the 'starter' if he's getting pulled because he's not performing. Let's take last 4 games: Tonight: Jlin in 20 min and -13 Bev in 28 min and a +4 What was our margin of defeat tonight? A couple nights ago against SA: Jlin in 27 min and a -14 Bev in 24 min and a +11 B4 that against Cleveland in a BLOWOUT Jlin in 20 min a +1 Bev in 21 min a +26 Go back a 4th game 7 point win against Jazz: Jlin in 30 min and a -3 Bev in 18 min and a +10 What was our margin of victory? Oh, 7 points against the Jazz. Thank GOD for Beverley lately.
I just don't get why JLin is back at being a spot up shooter!!! The helll is going on with this team?? Just when I thought JLin and Harden could co-exist and we're back at square one...the entire system keep flip flopping every time JLin screws up with TO.... Feels like if JLin ****s up he's benched and used as spot up shooter??? Man we all know JLin can't shoot from that damn corner...so why bother putting him there?? Not getting it at all!!! The damn team is soo inconsistent...its frustrating...
