Geez, what kind of jackass does that? He poses as a Lin fan to make Lin fans look bad. These haters need to get a life.
Still waiting for this guy to blowup. In the first four games its hard for me to say that he was better than his opponent. Knight, Teague, Lillard, and Lawson all blew him away. Tonight he will be going against Conley, so I hope he can win this one at least.
Works both ways, Lin fans say Lin's floor is Felton's ceiling with a resume of 29 starts when Felton has been doing it for 7 years. BTW, Felton 44.4 shooting % 37.5% from 3. Knicks fans so far don't miss Lin and love Raymond.
Lots of other players are also struggling with their shooting. Both Deron and Westbrook have been poor as well. I agree though that Lin has to pick it up. Has to score at least 15+ for this team to be relevant.
Lin is in a shooting slump but like others have said, sample size is everything. It's only been 4 games, Lin isn't going to shoot 36% and 23% for the rest of the season. Even great shooters can have shooting slumps. In 2011, from 2/23 to 3/4, over the course of 6 games Steve Nash shot 34.4% (21 of 61) from the field and 17.6% (3 of 17) from 3pt. He finished the season shooting 49.5% from the field and 39.5% from 3pt. In fact, here are some players that have averaged worse than 35% FG (on at least 10 attempts/game) and 20% 3PT (on at least 3 attempts/game) over 4 or more games in their careers: Aaron Afflalo (40.6% career 3PT shooter), Danny Ainge (37.8%), Ray Allen (40.1%), Dell Curry (40.2%), Jeff Hornacek (40.3%), Reggie Miller (39.5%), Anthony Morrow (42.7%), Dirk Nowitzki (38.0%), Steve Nash (42.8%), Peja Stojakovic (40.1%), Jason Terry (38.0%)
Probably one guy and he's attributing that statement and belief to the whole group. This seems pretty common. I keep seeing posts here that keep stating "that Lin's fans think that" or the "LOF's all believe this" and believe the group is one homogeneous, flock of sheep who don't have differing opinions of Lin.
It's okay, most NBA players have a shooting slump in the beginning of the season because it takes a little time for their muscle to remember how to shoot with pressure. The players that shows high % are usually those who lays or dunks a lot. I'm not worried at all at the moment. Now if ASG comes and we are still in this slump... then I would start panicking.
Unfortunately it is their life. A troll's motto: "If you can't be productive then be disruptive." They are really bringing Clutchfans down. Kudos to Clutch for taking care of this!
