Uggghh, that was bizarre. Not only did Lin airball but we didn't get that rebound off of Dwade FT misses! I mean, there was no box-out, at all!!! 3 guys around Bosh, 0 box-outs. But, there were a lot of positives in this loss though. Great game!
I thought we established he's not worth his contract. Pick a side: a) He's worth his contract. b) He's not worth his contract. You can't tell him he's not worth his contract and then expect him to put up triple doubles every night.
He choked. Not sure when he can get his swagger back, he's hit big shots in the high school, college, and on the Knicks, so maybe he was over thinking it.
It's was a high quality airball! If these guys were lawyers, they'd be disbarred by now for gross incompetence.
This. If you play Lin as a spot-up 3 shooter you're going to have a bad time. Lin is bad at spot-up shooting. Harden is apparently bad when running the point as a first option.
Yeah, I'm not really that mad he airballed, that was pretty lolsy I'm super mad that we threw the game against Ledouchebag's team
Probably a result from not having the ball in his hands. His best days on the Knicks were when he was turning the ball over ten times. I know that's ridiculous, but hey there must be some merit to that theory. Let Lin run the offense.
Granted that shot was ugly...but a lot went wrong those last few minutes. Questionable calls, dreadful harden iso that went nowhere. not getting rebounds...etc. In NY he seemed to be more free, attacking the basket, ball in his hands. Now, he's bricking jumpers and building a fort in the corner three. Still, I think he'll do just fine this season...it's early.
we need more shooters and rebounders. Lin was nervous like others but they stepped up while he didnt.
Both he and Harden are trying too hard...I think harden is trying harder than Lin, I can see Lin letting the nerves get to him and the high expectations. They just need to calm down and play team basketball, forget being the man or whatever.
Lin led the team in assists and blocked shots tonight, the air ball was bad but it didn't cost us the game as much as a few bad calls (one a mirror image of the call Asik was b****ing about on the other end earlier) and when the starters came in to close they didn't play good enough defense. Much better game then I thought we'd have played given previous efforts however especially by Patterson early on and Parsons.
Everyone was really tough on Morris (also a second year player), but I agree with the OP on this one. The problem is Eremy Lin has too much $upport. Ownership wins, but the fans lose. He only played 34 minutes tonight, but he looked tired. He played with so much energy during Linsanity. I guess it was a fluke. I will give him some time before I label him a bench warmer (his passing and steals are the only reason), but Dragic would have been so much better for this team. He knows what a PG's duties are and he would not just hand it off to Harden every time we need a basket.
