    That sure beats the .242 3P% he has his first 11 games. Nearly doubled his percentage:eek:

    A consistent jumper is his only limitation. He can't let teams off the hook by letting them go under screens. If his shot is consistent enough to force them to go over screens, he will get in the lane at will.

    This was so evident in the second half of last game. They were giving him so much space yet he kept insisting to drive, resulting in a crapload of bad possessions. Just shoot it.

    Took 8 posts before the first post mentioning LOF/LOH. I wonder if there will ever be a Lin thread without any mention of Fans/haters. He's a rocket and he is the best available point guard for us, deal with it

    Well definitely I don't expect him to continue to shoot 47%. Right now he is at 32%, Just bring it up to 34-35% and that's great.

    Even though karolik is always the first to bring in negativity regarding Lin, I'm gonna have to agree and say his shooting % is drop. I'll say it'll drop and end at 31.

    LOF and LOH are not the correct acronyms.

    LOF should be: Never Against My Boy Lin, Aight?

    LOH is exactly the same acronym, but I haven't deconstructed it yet.

    lol, owned.

    but yeah, Lin has really improved. It came pretty suddenly, too, so maybe it was just a mental problem. actually, he probably changed his shot mechanics.

    The storyline of Lin heaving up an airball 3 to LOSE the game against the HEAT earlier in the year,

    then later against the Thunder draining 2 DAGGER 3's late to SEAL the game,

    thats just gotta be a good confidence booster going forward. Its something that can keep a player locked in a little bit longer and giving himself a confident "green light".

    Its how the legend of "Big Shot Bob" Horry first grew years ago. Once a bad reluctant shooter, he rose to the challenge hitting a key shot to win a game, then did it again, and it helped established himself as a reliable shot taker.
