You have to be open to shoot the 3 duhhhh.....just like you'll throw a hail mary when you see the guy is open and on the run.. You don't rely on Hail mary pass!! when its there...iits there it's an instinct. If you're b****ing about the hail mary passes you're definately trying to find flaws but its not there....every friggin NBA play will make that pass when there player is on the run.
Quite touchy. Lin has a propensity for turnovers. If he wants to keep his starting job he needs to be more careful with the ball. Mchale has said himself he doesnt want home runs from jeremy. Lin therefore needs to reign in his propensity to hit home runs. If the coach wants you to play a certain way then u need to play that certain way. Lin was a shooting guard at harvard and mchale seems to want lin to play that role, hence why the ball is so often in hardens hands to initiate and set ghe offence. Lin has played that role successfully in the past and there,s no reason why he cant go back to that. If hes running counter to the coachs game plan then thatms not entirely the coach,s problem, no matter what u think of the coaching decisions.
Reminds me of what George Karl said about McGee. "He's got to understand that lazy and crazy isn't going to make it work," Karl said. "We want solid and we want fundamental, and we want spectacular but only when it happens, not forcing the action where sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't." Instead of Lazy, replace it with reckless and I think it fits Lin
there you go..the reason why Lin is inconsistent....as most Lin fans knew of, Lin is a type of player that adapts well based on his team mates strength and play...he'll be lethal when he is allowed to develop..but in this current system, seems unlikely... cred: Ultimate Rockets....
Yeah I think that's where a lot of the inconsistency comes from. When his style of play works, it looks great but when it doesn't, it looks absolutely turrible. Results in quick benching as well.
McGee and Lin..common...I like JaVale but equate him and Lin is utterly ridiculous....unless your a hater...
This is sad. He controlled the pace, especially in he 3rd. Made a big impact on D (or maybe it just looked better bc everyone wasn't trying to cover up Harden's deficiencies on D) and was a big reason why we had ball movement. This is what team basketball looks like, where more than one or two players score in double digits, and everyone on the court is involved.
I'm curious... if you're going to quote George Karl why don't you just quote what he actually said about Lin? But with Lin, as Nuggets coach George Karl pointed out, "I still think he's the motor of their team, and when he plays well, they have a good chance of beating people." http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_22437660/nuggets-journal-take-look-at-jeremy-lin-now
Lin makes the controls the pace well, and is always on a look out for his team mates, this in turns motivates them to play and move harder. The TO is painful to watch but overall it's positive, and if this is further developed . The only is up for this team.
Not sure why, but this was posted in Clutch's post-game interview thread. Looked like a gritty but somewhat sloppy game from Lin, which is expected from a back-to-back. He also got a few foul calls I don't think he'd get if it weren't a home game. But I like his overally aggressiveness.
That's true most pgs are the motor of the team. Their job is to get teammates involved and set the pace.
Doesn't fit his agenda. The fact that he even had to alter Karl's quote to make the Mcgee/Lin comparison makes even less sense.
I guess that mean Asik would be the frame (protects the car), Harden would be the gas (keeps the team going) , Parsons the wheels (uhhh Wheels up), Dmo/Trob the spare tire (patch)?
The ball was in his hands a lot! That's the difference. Don't just see what you wanna see. Pathetic hater!
