Does Lin get forced to put up low percentage shots way too often?

    Dude is compensating for pain and injury because of the previous seasons. He obviously doesn't have the extra gear to get to the rim nor quickly come back out of the paint as often as he did earlier this season or last season if he drives in. It's best to try and trade him because his body breaks down too easily.

    I hate when that happens. It's like Harden and McHale want to keep his shooting percentage low on purpose.

    Lin would 50-40-90 this year if he had better teammates.


    Am I doing it right?

    If you said 100-100-100 you would be doing it right.

    If I am sure of anything in this world, it's that none of Lin's shortcomings are his fault.

    Lin sucks. There really isn't any better way to say it. He will go 3 or 4-11 tonight with 3 or 4 TOs and LOFs will spend hours breaking down tape trying to make excuses. Torocan and khyberjones will likely write screen plays in a frantic scramble to save poor Eremy

    OMG, Jeremy Lin just made Jeremy Lin take a low percentage shot with the shot clock running down.

    damnit more like do we have to put up with a pointless Lin thread every effing day. seriously i like lin but i dont' feel the urge to make a pointless thread. at least make the thread informative with some numbers instead of an annoying random speculation (does lin have to take stupid 3's, is lin jackie robinson painted yellow). stop with the bs already.

    Blame Lin's own problems on his teammates. Awesome.

    You do realize that "what harden just did to cannan[sp]" did not harm him? The shot didn't count at all.

    The point is passing when there is not enough time to take a well-prepared shot. What if there was 2 seconds left? Does it make it a good pass? And let's be honest, do you really expect the shot to fall with that much time?

    Stupid Harden passes the ball to Lin with the clock running down right before the half. Did you guys see that?

    he isn't the smartest player on offence, the amount of times he dribbles in to trouble is amazing, and those plays where he leaves his feet and jumps in the air and has no play going is frustrating

    Lin is a professional NBA player. Absolutely no poster on CF can understand what he is going through. Get a life people. Mind your own matters. If you do not have a clue then STFU.
