Hornets' bench is very fun to watch. I love seeing Lin, Zeller, and Hawes passing each other to score and although not showing in highlights, Roberts also did a good job using pick and pop to create shots for himself today.

I'm liking Lin's shooting form when he's set, as I alluded to earlier it's becoming more Steve Nash-like so his mid-range jumper is looking more reliable now too. He had a couple of bad misses but were off rushed or moving shots, relax Jeremy you're not Steph Curry yet Agreed about the chemistry between Lin, Zeller, Hawes it's great to see the bigs passing it around and looking for good shots.

I think Lin's hair is awesome. I want to see MKG do something crazy with his hair. He's too clean cut for a defensive specialist.

As long as it's not this, I'm good

Watching clips of recent games I suddenly realized how poor Lin's PNR partners (big exception, Ed Davis - but they got little playing timeline together ) have been since the Knicks when he had great luxury of Tyson Chandler

Watching him play catch and return with Hawes and Zeller - made me suddenly flash to Omer stone hands Asik, Dwight reluctant screen setter Howard, and the black holes and slow moving targets that were Jordan Hill and Carlos Boozer - last year. Good grief.

It is interesting to hear about Cliff's emphasis on PNR's and see Lin executing it so well, and then to think about how rarely we executed PNRs last season despite that being Lance's best (and, last season, pretty much his only) skill. It does seem like we have much more intelligent and intentional screen setting this season.

Yes - that's interesting to me too. we seem to be seeing a number of rehearsed screen setting sets which I wasn't expecting given what I'd heard about Hornets

you got to understand teams are not build around Jeremy. Houston actually had a very good system for Lin, Lin PnR with Asik were pretty good although Asik does not have good hands, not a very good finisher, but the guy is a terrific screen setter... Lin did a lot pnr with greg smith, dmo, even occasionally with Harden... the situation was the ball was not in Jeremy's hand as often as Linsanity days when there were not many offensive options with Melo and Amare out... plus Houston have a better player in James Harden who also needs the ball in his hands to maximize his effectiveness... and during Lin's second year in Houston, Parson also became a pretty effective PnR ball handler and McHale called a lot more plays for Parson (McHale really really likes Parsons)...this further took the ball away from Lin's hand, that's why Lin's playing time, assist number and TO number went down accordingly, but the team was getting better overall... and Lin's efficiency did not go down, his off ball game became better....
In lakers, Byron run Princeton offense, he does not like PnR "two men game" too early in his offense, also his priority was to set up kobe in the elbow... Byron knows Lin's game very well, he said "Jeremy is a guy we can run PnR all day", but I guess that's not what Byron wanted a PG in his system...Plus he was stealth tanking.... He definitely misused Jeremy, he himself probably knew that too...
I would say Jeremy has not been in his perfect situation. But if you are not the team's superstar, coaches rarely design everything for you. Jeremy has evolved from linsanity days. He is not that phenomenon any more, he is a solid NBA player. More and more the league regards him as an explosive third guard, 6th man type of player. I believe it is how coach Clifford envision him to be too.

no, there was a nice replay from kswiss, I was referring to his reply.... suddenly it disappeared

[Kswiss]

Yea I deleted it lol cuz I feel like I've seen Lins effect on both starters and bench players so it's not really true

[TinmanZBoy]

Appreciate the shoutout but I will wait to see how both the bench looks and starters once regular season starts before I make any definitive conclusions. Nash had a similar effect to Lin and he lifted the starters on the Suns almost to the NBA finals so I think while Lin is definitely effective for guys that need a set-up like Zeller, anybody can benefit from great ball movement, starter or bench player.

A longer nine minute highlight reel from last game that includes some defensive bits in addition to offense, as well as some nice passing to the bigs even if they couldn't finish.
