    That's too bad, you'd have a legitimate excuse then.

    4:05 in OT, he passes up another 3pt shot. And he turns it over.

    lol, each of these makes just reinforces the fact that he's a legit 40% 3pt shooter, and that he should shoot MORE, like I keep saying.

    To start this, I must say Lin 3's percentage is a good one up to now (if not great) and I think it's a combination of luck and hard work during off season.

    But if you ask me, whether that 3's% will last till end of season, Hell I don't think so, bro ... as I said before, he is not a spot-up shooter, that fancy 3's % will wore down over time...eventually for sure. (...If that's is your motive to make this useless thread, then I can assure you Lin will not get 45% at the end of season no matter how many shots he will take.)

    Now, I will be more than happy if he keep penetrating, ended up with 5-10 free throws and collect fouls from opposite players rather than changes him to become Ray Allen and bricking 3's all the way.

    If anything, I will trust Harden or Garcia or even Casspi to shoot more 3's than Lin.

    Peace out and roll out

    He played great tonight, but he still passed up way too many 3s. He just doesn't understand that he needs to be much more aggressive to the 3-line.

    He only had 6 attempts tonight, and one was with the shot clock winding down where he forced up a shot that missed. He should've had at least 11 attempts tonight overall. Maybe more, I missed the 1st quarter, and I missed a few possession during the game. But he's just way too passive about shooting.

    I don't know how good of a shooter he is, but it's important for him to discover how much he can get away with. He can't do this unless he shoots ALOT more. I'd aim for 7 shots per 36min to start.

    major fail by OT

    we don't need to turn into 3pt shooting team. what jeremy is better at than shooting is DRIVING TO THE RIM

    he may never be a true point, he will always turn the ball over, but he can keep the defense honest by relentlessly taking it to the hoop.

    we have 2 guys who can do that at will. that should be our game. you live by 3. and die by 3. remember that

    He's the one's I saw that he passed up.

    10:55 2nd
    7:26 2nd
    7:15 3rd
    6:47 4th
    4:05 OT
    3:35 2OT

    I may have missed some others. Maybe you disagree with a couple. But clearly, he's way too passive from the 3-line.

    lin is not a 3pt specialist. he is a rhythm shooter. kinda streaky too. let the shooting come to him. you can't force it.

    This is why Lin needs to be traded, Houston Rocket fans do not appreciate him. He needs to go to the LAKERS!!!!!!!!

    Maybe he doesn't trust his 3ptr shots as much as his drives. I mean if you are not a starter you have to fight for your minutes. Of course you will rely on your strength.

    But soon he should consider his 3pters as a strength too! He has improved a lot!
