Perhaps he still doesn't have the legs under his shots. Teams seem to be playing off of him more, taking away his drive, and he's incapable of punishing them for it. I personally don't worry about it. He has good shooting potential, and we're not exactly contenders. Just give it time and wait it out.
I've been staying away from bashing Lin but he is just not a starting PG. Can't believe we let Livingston walk with this PG situation. Inexcusable.
I still root for him. But if he doesn't cancel his next month Asia I'm Great tour, I will no longer be fan of him as a basketball player. Time to grow up as a man kid. Don't blame your knee. You would have to be slowest healing minuscules tear on the planet if its still bothering you. Don't blame racism. Tonight vs the Lakers, racism is not making you miss wide open shots or make you turn the ball over over and over. You went a Asia tour and over estimated your skills. Came in not prepared. Its ok, you young. But a real man knows it and will cancel that next summer tour next summer.
Maybe Sampson should have left Lin in during garbage time. Let him see what he can do with the other 4 and make him shoot himself out of the slump.
i think he is trying too much to find that open guy. plus when he runs the pick n roll he doesnt have that athletic big to draw some of the attention. and we dont spread the floor as well as nyc did. not to mention that lin is being used as a spot up shooter when he has never been a great shot... its been said plenty of times but both harden and lin would benefit greatly from having lin attack the basket more to draw harden's defender to get an open 3.
I think Lin is pretty fantastic when running the offense and setting up his teammates. Dude was dishing a lot in the first quarter, finding guys everywhere. But we get bogged down in this stupid implemented hero ball and Harden jacking crap up left and right and all kinds of ways and it kills our offensive momentum. Is it that hard to draw up plays for Harden that don't involve him fiddling with the rock at the top of the key and then getting a pick and roll with 8 seconds left on the shot clock?? Lin gets exposed when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. It's hard, when you aren't a shooter, to be asked to stand somewhere and catch and shoot. It's difficult for him and a dumb dumb dumb strategy.
Wow you're dense. When the hell was he blaming his shooting on his knee? Asia tour? He was practicing on his trip. Jumper is one of the easier things to fix, right now it's just a confidence issue probably, he should get out of the slump some time.
lowry was gone either way. so its really losing dragic that hurts. ps, im from phx and watched dragic develop, it took time, was frustrating and the first time i saw him i thought "how'd this guy make an NBA team". lin is still young/learning.
Why are people still on Rajon about that? He's been shooting like a boss since last season, leave my boy alone /my inner RajonOnlyFan He's definitely shooting like a younger Rajon, but like Rajon it'll eventually come back. We know it's a shooting slump cuz his shot was there last season. People are so over dramatic
