[2014-15] Jeremy Lin as a Los Angeles Laker

the portland's series was pretty damn far from being just Lin's fault.

I can name 5 things that was more to blame than Lin's stupid ass mistakes down the stretch

 

The NWO?

My post was more directed at TheMystery008 and you had replied before I got submitted mine.

I agree with your statements. Lin made some costly mistakes in the series and his BBIQ is questionable. I just find it funny that in a team game, many people solely blame one player for the loss of a game, or the loss of a 6-game series. It's a team game that everyone contributes towards the win or the loss. Plenty of blame to go around for why we lost to Portland.

 

Bill Buckner agrees with you. Of course Bill Buckner is Asian so there's that.

You do realise this happened in game 5, when he scored 21 and we won, right?

 

Love is everywhere...especially in the NBA Dish.

 

But the Lakers have been going with Princeton which is not PG-favoured(Look how Rubio was limited by Adelman). And the Sun is running PnRs/fastbreak all the time.

 

Im in San Diego so I get every Laker game. Trust me the Lakers are not running the Priceton. . they are running Kobe " GIVE ME THE DAMN BALL" and everyone move out of the way ISO. Scott has no offense and his highly touted defense has the Lakers ranked last in that dept. The team is a mess and I'm enjoying every minute of it

 

It's called the Kobeton offense

 

Yea, Kobe pretty much runs the show. Scott just watches with his arms crossed while Kobe bricks every thing in crunch time. The Lakers are a joke and boring to watch.

 

started well and Kobe hasn't taken a shot yet

 

What a scrub, shot the 3 ball and missed by a foot.

Only 8 point 3 asts so far.

 

Playing well against the Grizz right now.

DD

 

Other than what you have mentioned, it's either Princeton or Triangle with a couple of hi-PNRs run by Lin.

 

So-so game by Lin. Played well in the first half, but disappeared in the second. Miss a crucial FT and fouled unnecessary at the end.

But good to see his numbers are consistent though.

 

RIP to this Lakers writer's twitter mentions:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Jeremy Lin fans asking he was benched in 4th quarter...um, he was &quot;guarding&quot; Zach LaVine when he went off.

He got eaten up

 

Actually it was more than that.

With about 4 minutes left in the game he had a series of classical "Jeremy Lin" moments where he drove inside the lane, jumped in the air with nowhere to go, and turned the ball over back-2-back.

Byron Scott benched him and didnt play him after that.

To be fair to Byron, he has been pretty forgiving of Lin's mistakes so far. In the past, I have seen him bring Lin in with about 5 mins left in the game even though he had been horrid the entire game.

 

did you watch the game? He had 2 TO in the first half and one in the second half. Lavine scored a lot against Laker's bench. Lin was doing ok against him 1 on 1, even got a block and steal. But the Lakers switching and transition defense is just too bad.

 

Mo Williams played in the game, Scott was scared that Lin would repeat his famous playoff moment
