This is why we get mad, he has it in him when he wants to get angry anm go hell for leather, but more often then not he plays passive. For the love of god, Lin now you know this is what we want. Be angry, attack the damn basket and have that swag.
We want Jeremy Lin to get the touches and role that Harden is getting and Harden to get the touches and role that Lin is getting....
We are not trading ASIC or Lin either so we need to make this work. The question is .. Do we have a coaching staff who is versatile enough to change the system to accommodate all the talent we have?
Don't u now think its the coaching? He even said after the game that difference was he just said eff it and played his game. It's the coaches job to encourage this.
By all means critique his play. But like someone else said...it's not critiquing his play when people call him names like 'bust', 'd-leaguer', and just flat out proclaim he'll NEVER regain linsanity again because he's a 'flash in the pan'. Can you in all honesty say those are critiques on his play? If you're not one of those people, and you keep your criticism above 'hatred', nobody will flame you. I like Lin, and I was on this board talking about how his shot was lost, and he needs to get into the gym and shoot 1000 times every night until he got his shooting right. Nobody bashed me for that.
Why did it work for Lin today? How did he get get his points and create successfully? If you fail to understand that, then you're just ignorantly blaming the coaches.
Jeremy Lin remind's me of Damon Stodumire's early years with the TrailerBlazers. Damon sacfrificed his flashy game he had inToronto, and played very passive in Portland also. Only difference between us now, and them back then, was that it translated to wins and play-off appearances.
Linsanity 2.0 will die as soon as Harden returns. Coaching staff wants Lin to camp in the corner and shoot the corner 3. If Lin doesn't do that, coaching staff benches Lin.
Not really . Harden pass th ball to Lin alot and you could see James wanted Lin to be aggressive. Tonight he thought i need to stepup without james and his points. He needs to have that mentality with Harden on the court as well.
Whatever or whosoever fault it is, I just hope Lin continues to play like this today. Things happen when he gets in the lane. I can live with TO's if he can continue to play this aggressive.
The problem is that the coach is playing Lin as a SG and harden as a PG. When its obvies it needs to be switched.
Sorry, no dice. Rockets need to win, I don't care about how many points a player has. If we lose then its a loss and points don't matter anymore.
No duh - a loss is a loss is a loss. But Lin can play like this, don't u think it will translate to more wins?
Ok we know you guys hate Lin. But anyway, let's just all hope Harden and Lin play well together, which would only be good for the Rockets. From watching Lin play since college, I know he only cares about the W.
