You must be in a lousy mood I type "JLin" because I am too lazy to spell out the full name, and also, no one has the last name of "Lin" to cause any confusion. If that pisses you off, anything will piss you off. I am the first person to say he has not proven himself until he plays an entire season at a high level. When Rockets lost during pre-season, almost everyone played badly, and I am not as impressed by KMart (still impressed by his shooting ability) as most people because he seems to be intent on padding his score rather than winning games.
First of all, Lin definitely deserves another thread of his own. /sarcasmoff. Lin definitely has lost his identity so far in the pre-season as a Rockets. IMHO, he has been trying VERY HARD to prove that he can go LEFT, and can pass the ball. BUT, that's not what made him the player he was in NY. Lin needs to go right. And attack the basketball. It's what made him a good player. Lin needs to cut down non-basketball activities and start rehabing his knee in the swimming pool. Lin needs to start making open shots. His knee is the reason the shots fell short every time last few games. It was obvious he needs more strength on his knees. Lastly, Lin needs to stop listening to media. "Can't go left, mediocre player, bench player, 3rd string PG..." blah blah blah. At the end of the day, haters are gonna hate. So Rondo can't shoot, so what? He is still one of the best. Lin needs to realize that he is still a good player EVEN WITHOUT going left. SAS and NY media played with his mind and Lin is obviously lost in this media created image. my 2 cents.
