    R:4(Royce grab all the rebounds.)
    S:3(It's easy to Lin.)
    B:1(Rose)

    Very nice. Thanks for posting. I'm excited to see Jeremy's improvement. An increase in his shooting % is definitely going to open up opportunities for him and the team. I liked that coach - very articulate.

    If Lin improves his shooting to Nash levels, we could be looking at a Hall of Famer.

    If I had a shooting "gun" and "net" I would've shot my ass off all summer long

    I think top 5-10 pg is his ceiling only if he can stay healthy. Health is the only thing that I'm worried about with lin.

    A 50/40/90 level... The closest he has come to Nash level was in his last 7 games where he hit like 40 of his last 42 FT's. That was it. His 3's & FG% still needs more work. He also needs to be a more consistent FT shooter in the beginning he was pretty bad, towards the end he got better.

    Those who are lowballing Lin are those who lowballed Yao before he came to the league, and they are majority of the "fans" here. Nobody predicted Yao would play at such a high level.

    Racial stereotype and prejudice is still lurking behind the minds of those people. Even Van our dear Gundy said Lin was "deceptively" quick.

    Lin absolutely has "it" in his heart to win. He got his own dues of "shortcomings" like every other player, barring Michael Jordan, but none of those will prevent him from winning.

    I think Lin will be a solid to above average player.

    players who have shot 50/40/90 for multiple seasons:
    Larry Bird
    Steve Nash

    ... that is all.

    I would love for Lin to turn into something like that but seeing how many guys have done out of the thousands of professional basketball players in even the last 3 decades... it's a really special level of shooting.

    All right, K-n-i-c-k-s , Knicks.

    I just watched Jeremy Lin's two hands slam dunk on TV in the Lin Shu-Hao basketball training camp.

    The total score from Lin's first 5 started games is kept in NBA's record. His stat number has many stories behind. 10 of 35 games were played by Lin as a bench warmer. 6 of 35 games played by Lin as a 3rd option scorer after Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoutmire returned when D'Antoni was a coach. 7 0f 35 games were played by Lin when Woodson was a new head coach whose job was to kill Linsanity to please Carmelo.

    The real performance of Jeremy Lin was during Linsanity era, no jealousy of superstars and iso coach.

    The said 'he can't go left, he has too many TOs, he can't shoot' are compared with perfection, and all critiques were from SAS who is a true hater of Lin. I don't really care what haters said about Lin, because we all feel safe when the ball is in Lin's hand. As a former Knicks fan, I am telling you that Lin will be one of best players in the league soon.
    Here is the post game that coach talks about Lin's Knicks vs Lakers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwLSe_6TrFQ

    Before his tour this summer, I believe 20 & 10, and he will be a double-double prone. After the shooting coach interview, I believe 24 & 10.
    Kevin Martin will be a very well SG and scoring 24 to 30 every game, another SF, PF, C will have fun with open shot and dunks all night long.
    We Rockets fans will enjoy the game and chant every night. Then sleep with a :grin: . Again, again, again.

    Torn miniscus was Lin's first real injury ever. I see that as a less of a 'potential' problem comparing to other players.

    Injuries among pro athletes are directly related to offseason workout.

    Those work vigorousy offseason are less susceptible to injuries during regular season. Even if they do, they are able to make a speedier recovery.

    Wonder why Lebron and Durant have less injuries in the career? Just look at their offseason workouts!
