[Bleacherreport] Very unbiased article on Jeremy Lin's game

These numbers sound pretty accurate. Obviously, the turnovers will be lower than 5, from 3-4.

 

Kyrie was doubled quite a bit towards the second half of last season, but not nearly as much as the double team Lin was getting, its because Lin is that much better than those 2 in pick n roll situations.

Yes, Lin will get doubled, thats probably the most effective way to somehow limit his impact on offense. I understand that our roster isnt good this year with bunch of rookies and young players, but I dont think the bunch of Tyson Chandler, Jared Jeffries, Shumpert and Landry Fields are that much better than our young guns.

Just my 2 cents

 

You even read comments from, uh, obviously a troll?

You are fooled

 

Well, Tyson is DPoY... Shump is great, and JJ and Landry are valuable glue guys. I hope Asik can be a great achnor. His hands are terrible - worried about him fumbling passes from Lin.

Anyway, I am a Knicks fan and the worst kind of Lin-bandwagoner, but I have to say I like the Rockets culture. It's refreshing.

 

Sigmund is just a hater. A hater will always be a hater. Only haters have nothing else going on in their lives so they find every reason to hate on someone who does not even know they exist.

 

Not the point Im arguing, none of Knicks players during Lisanity were good offensively, they were average offensively and none of them can create their own shots. None of them but Novak can shoot. If Lin commanded double team on that team, he will command double team on the Rockets.

 

^ ok, I see what you mean now -- thanks.

 

Westbrook has improved a lot in terms of scoring but its a shame his assist numbers have went down so drastically.

 

Aren't those similar (if not better) numbers to what made Steve Francis an All-Star?

 

Not to change to subject, because i like the acquisition of Lin a LOT

I think he maybe underrated BIG time athletically

Fran Frischilla of NBA Scouting said that Jared Cunningham reminded him of Russell Westbrook.. now im sure a lot of you are wondering why the hell Rockets Fans should worry about Jared Cunningham( i didnt know who he was, until i saw his highlights.. they were sick). Jeremy Lin is only 23, so he has a chance to get better

Well if you look at his profile on DX.com.. you might be suprised

Relax. I know that he is a troll that is why I could care less about what he says. More often than not I ignore him. Sometimes I respond but otherwise I ignore and just laugh it off. No biggie.

 

But remember. When he was playing with those guys he had just started so teams hadn't really game planned against him. The double teams happened just when Melo and Amare came back therefore they would double team Lin because he was managing the offense and they didn't want Melo and Amare to even touch the ball. Because the Rockets do not have two superstars like those two who can score the ball I do not see why team will bother double teaming Lin. Yes Lin can score the ball but I just think that our overall talent level is such that teams will do that. Plus there are not that many strong defensive teams in the NBA. Just my take.

 

His assists have gone down not because the offense in OKC has changed so that he is less the facilitator and more the scorer.

 

I was a bit surprised at that assist stat myself. Unfortunately I didn't follow OKC enough during the regular season to really know the cause behind that. Perhaps they shifted the focus of OKC's offense to taking guys off the dribble more?

 

The OKC Thunder were the best team in the NBA this year

they were just outcoached in the Finals BADLY

Westbrook is a SG... END OF STORY

James Harden whether he wants to be a PG or Not should have been starting, and just rely on Daeqon Cook to put up timely buckets off the bench

Also if they had Eric Maynor healthy, this could have been easier to make him a starter, considering Chalmers is strictly just a 3-point shooter, and not really a Rose, Irving,Parker or attacking kind of PG

I love Westbrook, but a part of me has to agree with Skip Bayless( smh cant believe i just said that). But the Thunder will never win a title with Westbrook as its PG. When you play againist a great defensive team like that Heat, or a healthy Bulls, they are too good to get beat game after game by the same awful subs



Westbrooks assists have gone down, and his scoring has gone up simply because he is scoring too much for a PG. His attacking style is hot or miss, he has become a better free-throw shooter, but that mid-range free-throw jumper is a terrible shot.. for a variable of reasons... the biggest one is that he takes those shots even when a player is wideopen. He is taking a tougher shot instead of making the right play. Harden or Maynor would 9/10 make the better play

 

I'm not sure what this post means? Can someone explain? Thanks a lot.

 

That kid in this video, his upside( best case) is Jeremy Lin

An NBA Scout( who is highly respectable said Jared Cunningham has a little bit of Westbrook in him)... ???

You put A and B together, either Draftexpress think Jeremy Lin is SNEAKY athletic and we havent seen it yet

Or DX was smoking some maryjane, when they made that comparison

either way.. Its becoming obvious that Jeremy Lin wasnt drafted because of his race.

But i still dont agree with black people hating him. Stephen A. is an idiot, and is pro-black on everything like the other woman who works there( i forget her name). ESPN fired him because of this, and brought him back again. He still hasnt learned his lesson

 

Stephen A Smith is the voice of Melo. Google all SAS articles on Carmelo, D'Antoni fire/resignation, Lin and read for yourself!

Their relationship went way back when Melo was still in Denver. Melo saga of 2010, SAS voiced his biggest support in getting Melo. New York was also the only destination for Melo.

Melo granted SAS the most personal interviews for the last 2 years. Never had any terrible to say about him and projected the imagine anyway desirable by Melo.

SAS sold his soul to the devil and made 'journalism' a dirty word. Carmelo, by far, is the biggest manipulator among all NBA players, past and present.

 

Stephen A Smith and Melo are both represented by CAA (Creative Artists Agency). Smith is just a loud mouth jock strap that is the headless spin doctor for CAA and Melo. I read almost all of Smith's articles about Lin, and I've never seen such bias in my life. I also read Smith's tweets, and he didn't even watch Linsanity live. Until recently, Smith called Lin a "marginal" PG and in the same sentence would say that Lin is an average PG. Obviously "marginal" and "average" are very different terms. Jemele Hill is the other racist at ESPN.
