Reggie Jackson got most of his points in the 4th quarter, and he was being left open as Brooks and Beverly left him to go help on Durant. They did a good job on him for the most part.
A healthy Lin should do fine. He and the team were doing pretty decently in 1st half of game 2 before be went down. The issue is how well he's recovered. AB has taken advantage of his quickness-- especially vs Fisher, but Lin should have a quickness advantage on Fisher, too. McHale will be monitoring Lin's condition/rhythm closely anyway. Like GSW was with DLee last night, they won't hesitate to pull him after only a few minutes if someone else helps the team more.
Hope he is healthy and has a good showing. Also that he isn't asked to guard Durant or one of the Thunder's other forwards straight up.
I was really hoping that if he were to play then it would be next series if we make it that far. I don't want him to mess this up even if I root for him.
Lin's size and quickness will help a lot against Fisher. Though I hope he doesn't play too many minutes. AB vs Fisher is my favorite matchup this series.
it's not like Lin looks to score whenever he has the ball though. He looks to pass. we need Brooks to expose our mismatch with Fisher. Remember noone can guard that water bug on the Thunder!
That is usually the problem. Passive Lin plays bad...Aggressive Lin plays well and even great some times.
Morlock, stop wearing your feelings on your sleeve. If its funny to me I'm gonna post. I don't want to blaze you on this post.
Along as he is coming off the bench i'm cool with it. If he produces then great if not well then sit his ass
If it aint broke dont mess with it! Dont care who it is, what we have on the floor right now is working! Nuff said....
Yup that's cause AB's favorite meal is Fish and chips. All day every day. I think we should stick Lin on Martin and make sure he never leaves him. Martin was off on Wednesday but he got way too many open looks. You give him those same looks he had on Wednesday tonight and it's going to be deadly. Let Bev and Brooks handle primary pg duties and use Lin as a combo guard but mostly focus on defense and make sure Martin doesn't get going.
Our point guards committed TWO turnovers in Game 4 and TWO turnovers in Game 5. Hope our point guards commit TWO turnovers tonight.
