    Morey confirmed that in a couple early interviews as well. Lin's slowly getting back to 100% phisically around December according to Morey.

    Well, The other pairs all have gone to NBA finals together at least. Just getting stats together doesn't make it a great back court.

    What are you even talking about?

    You came in this thread with the sole purpose of trolling. Then start crying about "class" and all that crap when I pointed out your hypocrisy.

    You don't even have a point.

    This what happens when ppl start labeling other people. More people start labeling each other and both side creates elitism.

    It's the best way to ruin a community. Worked with racism, sexism, homophobes etc. As soon as a group of people gets labelled to be something with the connotation of inferiority. Fights are bound to happen, and both side will start looking like kindergarten children arguing whether they should like the color blue or black.

    His shot looks great as of late. Looks softer, with less of a rainbow arc.

    Also, I love Patterson's jumper. He barely even jumps, which is why he may be so consistent. When he's open, it's as if he's just taking a free throw.

    last time i posted this it was 28 games, but now it's 31 against teams with winning records. And guess who is inside the top 10 for POINT guards?

    Lin just has to learn how to get interested when playing the sub.500 teams. his first step penetration cannot be guarded mano a mano, just ask iggy, who is still looking for the vaseline.

    Wow, that's some very encouraging progress. Despite the ever-unreliable eye test, it seems as though his work with his shooting coach is paying dividends.

    Doesn't surprise me one bit. Lin is a very energy/emotion-driven player, I think. If he can learn how to amp himself up for games against the Bobcats and Hornets, he'll become so much better.

    This is something that Lin has struggled with since his high school and college days where he had a reputation as a "big game/clutch" player.

    Put him in a laugher or against weak competition and he loses focus and looks pedestrian.

    Put him in a game where the team is behind, in the 4th quarter or against tough competition like Boston College or Mater Dei and he elevates his game dramatically.

    This should even out over time as he matures as a player and actually is common among many types of competitors. Fortunately that part can be fixed over time with good coaching.

    I used to know a guy that would play like an average court baller 90% of the time... unless there was money on the line. Then suddenly he looked like NBA first team until the green was in his pocket.

    It's weird how some people choke when something is on the line, and others step it up. I guess that's what separates the winners from the losers in the end.

    Hmm Lin needs to focus against sub 500 teams. That is absurd. He isn't a good enough player to not be giving his best all the time. Nobody on this team can have the mentality that they are playing down to there competition.

    Anybody have an idea what % he would be shooting from 3PT land if his toe wasn't the size of Harden's ****?
