That's the one thing I will miss about Lin once he is out of the league. The on and off the court entertainment he brings.....as long as he is not playing for and killing your own team.
Here is a sobering and utterly disgraceful stat-line for the Lin apologists to reflect upon: For the month of December, over the span of 12 games, Jeremy Lin has shot 29-87 from the field. That's 33% for 7.5 points per game for one of the worst teams in the league on which he should have been stat padding his contract year. No ""dagger"" (lol) 3 pointer, up eight points with a minute left in the game, is going to redeem that stat-line. Folks, those stats are not even worthy of a 2nd string point guard. If you put Aaron Brooks on that Lakers team with the squad they have, he would be tearing it up. Jeremy Lin needs to stop trying to buy love and respect from his teammates by buying them custom headphones (he is embarrassing himself), and instead needs to find a way to contribute on the floor.
if he's back on this Houston Team again, he would perform the same as last year, which was pretty decent and inconsistent, but passable as a 6th man none the less. This year he's just bad, the situation is much worse in LA in every way possible I wonder how those Lin fans felt talking so much shet last year about Lin should ditch Houston and go to the Lakers for a "better environment that wouldn't hinder his potential like McFail".
You're not wrong, but youre getting a tad obsessive when it comes to proving lofs wrong. Happy holidays!
He's playing poorly, but let's keep it real, any of us would have loved custom headphones for Christmas. That was pretty cool of him.
Knicks are terrible but they will have a ton of cap space after the season. Not sure how many people will want to play next to Carmelo but I think it's safe to say one of them won't be Lin considering their relationship. I honestly do think it wouldn't be a bad idea though to sign him as a back up because the fans there still love him.
Ny. No question. Obviously a smaller sample size but he actually regressed in his 2nd year here and got benched
But he can play offence. So he would have been starting! AB is a career backup PG, clearly better than a career 3rd stringer in Ronnie Price. You start 2nd stringers over 3rd stringers, and 3rd stringers over 4th stringers.
AB is a much better player, that isn't even a question. The fact that he has a niche alone makes him better. It used to baffle me when we plagued Lin over him, but I guess it was to justify what we were paying him.
maybe he should have just stayed in NY all along. and maybe parsons should have done the same with Houston.
mike d'antoni would still have been fired. jeremy lin's weaknesses were be exposed already. mario chalmers did that.
You don't get the Laker scheme. Kobe IS the Laker offense. Scott wants on ball defenders to start.Price is starting because he does that well. Lin's numbers were very good before he was moved to the bench. His November stats were 48% FG, 38% 3's, 85% FT's. That's borderline all-star. As a starter...45%, 35%, 85%...again very good. He hasn't responded well to Scott's offense which inhibits his strength, pushing the ball...and it shows in his current numbers.
