The Official Lin Net Thread

[bws94]

We don't need Linsanity, we need what I saw from Jeremy in the playoffs: high energy, high effort, and aggressive two way play. That's what will help to lead this team. I was very impressed with how his game has matured.

His evolving hair is also awesome.

his playoffs were all that productive. he was solid. he had a solid game 3/4, but had an awful game 6. and overall his 12/2/2 on 54 TS% 14 PER really wanst any more productive then his season with the knicks(better raw stats with NY, even PER36 with basically the same efficiency).

i think Lins game 3/4 outburst kind of overshadowed his less then stellar play the other 5 games of that series

id be thrilled with the knicks version of lin.... 19/8/4 PER36 on 54 TS%. i want him to be super aggressive. we dont have anyone who can create offense off the dribble and really no offense outside brook. id rather a lin who maybe turns it over a bit but creates more offense over an inconsistent lin who is deferring more.

I was talking about his effort, which was max on both ends in that series. His stats on this team will be grossly different since he'll be the focal point.

You were right to be impressed with Lin. He had the broadcasters talking about him during the playoffs. It isn't about the numbers, it's his energy, effort, hustle, presence, keeping Miami off-balance in trying to deal with his dribble-penetration. Kemba and Lin were a one-two punch that people were calling the slash brothers. K and L didn't quite have enough, but they did well especially seeing the squad was missing one of their best players in Batum.

I don't really give a crap about Lin's stats when he plays. I want him to be the catalysts almost every night. Some things will show on the stat sheets, some won't. He had a tough game 6 but bleep happens. Look at all the crap games Lowry and DeRozan had. Lin only really had one crap game out of the 7 in the playoffs.

Lin is indeed a big hater of his haters. Just like what he said in that Taiwan speech.

Lins new photo shoot was awesome, so pumped for this season.

The 'hater' actually is the teammate of the kid in the photo. They are just joking around. I won't be surprised if the 'hater' is the one who took that picture.

Ha, cool. The thing is, did Lin know that? It's the fact that he fired back that's interesting.

I missed your message yesterday, because you didn't have the courtesy to use the forum's "reply" function.

What I meant is that guys from CFs can do whatever they want over there.

I notice that you avoided the question of what you'll do if a notorious polluter comes here. Anyone, sucn as Tinman, who posts 2000 times on a single thread is definitely a polluter.

It's not the same Tinman here, many of us know him from the Charlotte forum last year, he's alright.

"Alright" to you perhaps, but for me the warning sirens are blaring loudly. There is a "Tinman" on Clutchfans, who as I have mentioned is already notorious there for posting 2000 times in a single thread. There is a "ZBoy" on Knickerblogger who is also virulently anti-lin. The probability that "TinmanZBoy" is independent from these two is negligible, especially since Tinman and TinmanZBoy have such similar writing styles. Do you really want a notorious polluter here?

EDIT: add comment about writing styles

Lin did appears performed better in game 3,4 since he scored a lot, and feels he is dominating. That has a lot to do with how Heat was playing Hornets.

In the first two games, Heats focus to eliminate Hornets' 3pt game, Hornets was not dealing it well, even though Lin was okay, he scored pretty easily but he don't have much ball touches. Then Batum was hurt, thus Lin got a lot more touches in game 3 and 4, and his penetration game really was what Heat give them, thus Lin looked really great in those two games.

In game 5, Heat adjusted, and they spend effort to stop Lin and Kemba's driving, they would double team them, thus Lin got less scoring, but he was still very effective by passing, and get assists. On the other hand, his touches dropped also due to Batum came back.

I should also emphasis on Lin rolled his ankle in game 5, he finished that game, but sure would impact his game 6.

In game 6, Batum is back to start, play longer time, and Hornets goes away from their penetration game, and went back to their old style try to take more 3s. On the other hand, Lin's rolled ankle did not help, and he get into foul trouble that he got 5 fouls, so his play time also got limited. Though we could argue that Lin could still be back to play with 5 fouls, but apparently Clifford don't think that way.

If you look at the stat sheet, yeah, in a vacuum, it looks like Lin didn't play as well in game 5 and 6, but I think you could not disregards other conditions. On the other hand, one could also say Lin benefited in game 3 and 4 from Heat's strategy.

If I have to bet, I would say he definitely know the guy.

Dude, relax...settle in and try to get acquainted to the culture here before trying to police it. Trolls come and go all the time, report them to the moderators if you think they're out of line, I have. At the end of the day, we're all Lin fans posting on a Nets forum so respect the rules in place here.

What I am very curious to see is what schemes Atkinson implements to get Lin going when he starts off slow.

With Lin, I feel like if he gets in a groove early in terms of his jump shot, there is sort of no stopping his momentum. He can take over a game, and elevate the team.

but when his shot is off at the start, he has a hard time getting himself going. In part because he just is not a player who is going to shoot himself out of a shooting funk, he just stops taking shots or takes very few shots. Which obviously will not be good this year.

The last time we saw Consistent Starter Jeremy was, I dunno, the end of the 2012-2013 Rockets season?

You're not gonna have to worry about JLin's confidence. The "concern" would be what role Atkinson gives him (and I'm pretty sure Lin will be relied on as the co-first/or right-behind-Brook scoring option) and how Lin eventually matches up to coach's scoring role expectations.

Lin's bad shooting year at Hornets wasn't horrible, nor was it actually that bad for most months (all but two months saw his 3-ball accuracy at 35.5% and above). Shouldn't be a carryover worry since the new shot form is more set. The key difference is Lin has been promoted to Key Decisionmaker. Provided Nets don't turn out worse than the 21-61 2014-15 Lakers or (heh) the 10-72 2015-2016 Sixers, you should see the benefits of actually trusting Lin with the ball full-time in fairly short order.

Enough guys.

We don't care about a poster's history on another forum or website. Everyone gets a clean start here. With that said, there is a swift 1-strike ban policy here. Stick to addressing the post, not attacking the poster. Either contribute in a positive manner or don't post at all.

Fine. I just wanted to warn everyone here, not police the place, as some other poster misstated. Did I ever say "we" should do something? No, I only said what I was going to do.

Everyone gets a clean start here.

I notice that the anti-Lin trolls get free reign here. I see which way the wind is blowing.

With that said, there is a swift 1-strike ban policy here.

Why is the 1-strike policy only here, in Lin's thread?

Was that a threat? I've been banned before (but elsewhere), and the net effect was that I saved a ton of time each day.

Go ahead and ban all the Lin fans. The Clutchfans admin did that and his site's activity and traffic plummetted catastrophically.

If you give any hint of unfairness or bias, people will stop coming.

Stick to addressing the post, not attacking the poster. Either contribute in a positive manner or don't post at all.

Be fair, or you will lose respect. Bye.
