Don't Be Hurtin' Lin - The Jeremy Lin Thread 2

Perhaps a vote of confidence for Lin. He didnt get any sort of positive reinforcement last year from Byron "Worst Coach in the League" Scott. Hopefully from now he brings it all game instead of playing like a slack jawed moron.

It can be frustrating being a Lin fan because of his inconsistency. The W makes it all the better.

He played so bad for the past few games...

Tonight was Asian American Heritage Night for the Hornets. Lin talking to the crowd. I'm pretty sure that lady in the front row is fantasizing.

equally hilarious about that picture - the two girls in the front row further to their right, both looking down at their phones, not giving Lin one ounce of their attention. LOOK AWAY FROM YOUR PHONE, LIN IS 5 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU.

Today and Chicago were just dismal. 4-16 shooting. That was like Bad Kemba minus the facilitating, rebounding, and defense (though his defense on McCollum was decent tonight).

I missed the game. Was he that bad? I noticed during the first half the bench pushed the lead from 4 to 21 while Lin was in. Haven't checked second half stats yet

in the second Lin played SG with BRoberts, instead of PG with Jeremy Wet Lamb. maybe that's an excuse.

Eh, he's been pretty bad lately. I still love him as a backup though.

played poorly but was key contributor to two of the highlights of the game... Lin-Lamb oop and behind the back assist to Al.
Even tho it was the bench that blew it wide open tonight in the second, Lin needs to step it up and just play his game.
The 4th quarter should've been garbage time for the team.

Lol thx mj's backside on lin worked. Didnt completely redeem himself but enough to contribute for the win.

As the tweet said, Lin was very good in first played 8 minutes, 5 pts, 3-4 and made the lead from 3 to 21. Then sat about 25 minutes, totally lost feeling. :banghead:

When Lin went out at 6:50 in the 4th, score was 91-83. He came back in the game at 2:41 left with the score 100-92. Therefore, it looks like the coach intended to rest him a few minutes and if game was still on the line bring him back to close it out defensively. If the lead was safe I think he would not have come back in. Offensively he stunk it up with a bad shooting night, but to me it looked like Coach trusted him when it mattered.

he was coming in to defend CJ M. His shooting has been off the last two, solid d though...
it is a long season, there always are up and downs, particularly if he is coming off bench, not enough playing time to bounce back sometimes... he has to deal with it...
i am a little disappointed with his skill level though, seriously, really no obvious improvement, and he is losing his intangibles year by year...

Just believe Lin should have a good game if kept him longer in 1st half. Anyway, he played well on D. Hope he can have a better game on next one.
