YES. Lin is simply not that good. Linsanity was a fluke. I SMH at his commercial which he states 'nobody expected me to hit game-winning shots...' pfft. even Sundiata Gaines hit a buzzer beater 3 pointer to win the game, but most nba fans have no clue who that is. I hope we trade Lin. He's probably Top 5 worst starting point guard in the league. Someone prove otherwise....
LMAO!!!! You dudes are comparing Lin to LeBron and now Kobe? You can't be serious. Kobe is one of the greatest players of all time. Lin will never be able to be mentioned in the same breath as him. Just stop it already.
make Lowry a spot up shooter while giving up the ball to isolate DeRozan. make Dragic do the same in Phoenix. same **** would've happen except those two would have demanded a trade by now.
But the coaching staff must realize that this Harden ISO crap can never work in the long run. I hate it when everyone just stands around and watches Harden do his thing. That is one horrible way to play the game especially when Harden is no where close to Jordan
Difference is Kobe improved from that. Lin has regressed after his game winning 3 in Toronto. One went up, the other is going down. Not to mention Lin is 6 years older than Bryant was at that time.
Tebow is clutch huh. Tebow hasn't started since last year and was traded in his rookie season. His QB rating blows. Tebow, david robinson, lin all carry that turn the other cheek mentality, in sports you need that Killer Instinct. Jordan, Kobe want to tear your heart out, they want to humiliate you, they want to break you down until you fold in on yourself, no mercy! But according to you a bunch of religious virgins have that mentality???
when you look back at some of his games last year, jeremy seems like a total different player. it truly is disappointing. he seems to have lost all of his aggressiveness. it should be interesting to see if jeremy can bounce back from this. maybe this embarrassment will bring the fight back in jeremy. one can only hope.
Yeah I think they are experimenting. It will take sometime I think to figure things out. That is why I said it isn't as simple as Lin telling people to **** off.
Yeah don't get me wrong I was pissed but at the same time it looked too funny. Lin has sort of a rainbow to his shot so that sucker just dropped like a dud versus someone who shoots more of a line drive. He must've of felt bad. But point that should be taken is he did much better than his last showing against the cHeat playing with the Knicks. Still hesitated to drive much but at least he kept his composure much better.
The fact that both players who are normally strong on the offensive end are struggling offensively is VERY telling. This offense needs to be fixed ASAP.
I don't think it's any coincidence that Harden had his best game as a Rocket when Lin had his best game as a Rocket. I hope Harden doesn't start to think that all this iso heroball stuff is good for him. He'd be the biggest beneficiary of a resurgent Lin.
The post was made to comparison to Kobe. What we also do know that Lin took extra time in Asia. Training in a different country with no other players besides his shooting and conditioning coach is also different than training in the states combined with all his public events, ya I would say it was different.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is when you watch him during linsanity, dude had balls. He turned the ball over a bunch of times but he never shied away from the moment. This season for whatever reason he seems scared.
Why stop? Fans in Asia embrace him. He trained 5 hours a day when he toured Asia, except for one day he didn't make it to the gym because he was hounded by paparazzi. Lin is very disciplined in managing his time. He managed to play all this college basketball while working on a Harvard degree on the side.
It is dumb to say he is regressed when he isn't being used properly. It is also inaccurate to say he regressed when there have been significant improvements to his game (minus the scoring).
How good was Dragic two years ago ? Bench warmer. How good was Lowry two years ago ? Brick Mason. So don't lose hope on Lin yet.
