Kemba always DESTROYS Lin when they face eachother. Its not as close as people think it is. He is worlds better than Roberts thought this was a great signing im really happy.


They only faced each other once in the past couple of years as starters.

11/9/14
Walker 7-11 17pts 4 assists 3 rebounds 2 steals
Lin 8-12 21pts 7 assists 3 rebounds 1 steal

And we're off.

Could be great!

We also have Kemba +Lamb. They compliment each other perfectly.

Lamb and Lin finally get to play together. Lamb was originally drafted to the Rockets when Lin was expected to be the starter but got traded before the season started to OKC.

Off, and landed immediately. That was the beginning and end of that debate.

Al (32mpg) / Hawes (16)
Zeller (24) / Frank (14) / Marv (10)
MKG (32) / Batum (16)
Batum (16) / Lamb (16) / Daniels / (10) / Lin (6)
Kemba (32) / Lin (16)

And then Clifford will cut at least one player out of that rotation. Lin won't get starter minutes, but 20-24 minutes is typical 6th-7th man playing time, which is what Lin is. We played Ramon Sessions 24mpg while he was here. I expect the same deal with Lin.

Ugh I hope we trade Marv . Give Frank his minutes and 4 of Al's to Zeller. Knicks wanted PJ badly at the drive . I would give them PJ, Daniels and Roberts for a 2nd shoot even a foreign prospect . Give Lamb 8 of Daniels' minutes and the other 2 to Lin.

Theres no need to debate. Walker and Lin will end up playing together a lot anyways.

Would you rather have Lin on a 2 year deal worth 2 mil per season, but with player option after 1 year
or
2 year deal for 4 mil per season, but no player option

Well, hes responded to a few. So many comments I can't find it. But in regards to the Mavs a fan mentioned them and said he "F'ed up, and he would have gotten more money" He responded and said that things weren't what they seemed to be. Or something like that.

If Clifford cant score 100 ppg with this team next year, the HE is the problem. No clue what the defense will look like, but team has guys who can score all over the roster. 2nd unit of Lin, Lamb, Frank, (Marvin, PJ or Troy) and Hawes is nothing but offense.

I get it and I agree but it's great that Lin believes Cliff understands his game and believes in his game. Cliff had a huge hand in this. Jefferson loves Cliff as well. Mo was sold on Cliff. McRoberts and Cliff had a love affair.

This guy is a player's coach. He can get better technically but now he has weapons and if this team doesn't win, i'd be shocked and Cliff deserves to be put on the hot seat.

As it stands, we're deep and playoff bound. We can wear out a team with a short bench.

Henderson and Biz out, Batum, Lamb, Hawes and Lin in. Its safe to say a new chapter in Charlotte basketball has just begun. I will be sleeping with a smile tonight.
