It's simple, push Lin to his left hand and he can't finish in the lane. He picks up the ball in the lane and then shoots a fadeaway or passes horribly out of a standstill situation.
I have synergy also. It was clear that the three shots were last minute shots. His first two were not. Perhaps you were looking at those two shot. You should look more closely.
I guess you don't watch closely lately. You are a year behind. He goes to his left quite well. By the way Harden does not go to his right.
If we had won...it would be a non-factor. The issue is that Lin fans (of which I'm one) believe he is one of the 5 best players on the team and he wasn't in the game in the 4th quarter. Please don't take this as a Lin should play at ALL costs commentary. If the coach thinks that he's playing poorly, he should have the right to sit the whomever....and yesterday Lin was off.
relax. team is trying to trade lin. now they are testing the team without Lin and see if it can works ok.
Jeremy sucked last night, that's why he didn't get any play time. If anything mchale should of bring in the starter earlier. And Dallas not missing a single shot in the 4th didn't help either.
Lin was not off, he was not allow to perform. Just look at the flow of the game. Lin was basically playing Beverley's garbage time. He was 0 of 2 on the first sub, and you are going to tell me you can see he is going to be ice cold in that short stretch? Then the rest of the sub basically just garbage minutes, 2 minutes at end of 2nd, 3 min at end of 3rd, 2 min at the beginning of 4th. And of course, in for the "final shot".
Lin does anything possible to not shoot as usual. He goes out every night, thinking "I'm a 10 assists guy". Then he passes up open 3s in transition, open 3s off pick and roll, open 3s off a swing pass, and then ultimately contributes less than he could on offense. As for defense, they all suck, including Lin. I blame McHale mostly for that.
If Mchale is removed as coach it is because he is handling the whole team poorly. We are 8 and 5 with two super stars on the team and one almost all start in Parsons. Lin is just one example of McHale's poor coaching ability
That's the way I see it. He had very staggered 17 minutes and was only put in to rest Beverley who did not come through as we all expected him to.
My dear mister mirror, I will be around for many years. Don't cry. I know you can't handle it, but man up.
