The reason why Lin is not consistent

And Mc put him back last 5 minutes at garbage time just to show that Lin did play on the 4th quarter and he did not bench him. This coach was so awful.

 

McHale telling Morey, my team and I control them.

 

Exactly, even Morey knows Lin needs to perform his Max with ball in his hand and don't tell me Mchale does not know.

Also, don't tell me Mchale does not know Lin has low shooting percentage on this corner.

Coach did not say in word he hates Lin but what he did to Lin is awful. Ridiculous!

 

McFail has not guts, is too cheap to stand for himself. Just be the man, show them you can be the Coach of the Year, stick to your game plan. Start Bev next time. You never know, it could the the beginning of a new Rockets Dynasty. :grin:

 

He did try his gambling but realized he lost his clips on last 5 minutes. If he wins last game, Bev proved to be a starter.

 

LOF's are really sad. Worshipping a basketball player is beyond pathetic

 

You're adding a ton of value to this discussion. Thanks.

 

Lin,s problem is that he doesnt understand that in this system he isnt the point guard. It is hardens job to create. His turnovers come from two primary sources. Firstly when he tries to hit 'home runs' and secondly from indecision, particularly when he picks up his dribble and tries to get rid of the ball.

In this system the role of the point guard is that of a shooting guard. Protect the ball and score.

Therefore, the less he looks to create for others the fewer turnovers he will commit. He will also score more points. Better to throw up a bad shot than make a bad pass.

 

Was Lin consistence when he played for the Knicks? I've never watched his Knicks games. Last year, my brother just couldn't stop talking about him. I first watched him played in Dec., and thought," wow he sucked."

 

You got the main point. But why would a coach want to take Point Guard job out of the Point Guard and give it to the Shooting Guard? Lin did a lot better when he's in control and Harden did not lack of points when Lin in control. Especially we are close to playoff. Coach is not getting Max out of a player but put him in a area that he sucks? Evil!

 

No, because he had a coach that loved/trusted him, he had no stars to defer to, Tyson Chandler to finish everything for him, Shumpert to play defense for him, and Novak to hit 3s for him.

In Houston McHale hates him, Harden steals his pg role, and Asik has can't finish Lin's perfect passes cuz he has stone hands.

 

During the initial stretch he put up consistent numbers.

Once Melo and Amar'e came back he became erratic. He doesn't know when to attack and when to defer when he plays with better players.

 

Ops I mean yes, he was consistent for the Knicks.

 

Man, you are a spot on. That's what I have to agree with you. If Jeremy understand this, most of his problem will be gone. He really should have that mind set, just do it, if you don't like it, just bench me.

 

Depends on your idea of consistency. Consistent in the numbers at the end of the game? Yeah - he averaged pretty significant numbers in every game he played. His game tapered off towards the end, when Melo and Amare came back, but they were still decent starter numbers.

But even in his Linsanity week games, he'd have no turnovers in the first half, then in the 3rd quarter there'd be 3-4 turnovers in a row. And then, of course, Lin would come back in the 4th and all was well.

But he still showed alarming signs of inconsistency on a quarter-by-quarter basis. He might just be a player that really plays off rhythm and emotion. Shoot 1 bad shot and he's done for the quarter.

 

The reason doesn't matter because it is what it is and only McHale can change that. If lin is struggling then it is on him because the role that McHale needs from him is simply to protect the ball and score buckets.

Beverley isn't playing over lin because he has greater court vision. He turns the ball over less and can score quickly and in bunches.

Also by not focusing on creating lin can conserve energy for defense.

 

If Lin does take your advise, it's not good for the team. Everyone just try to score for themselves, forget about the team. Only me,me.

 

Just calling it like it is.

 

He was recovering his knee noob
