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

[spaceballer]

A huge Jeremy Lin fan who is also a Broadway producer started her own charity basketball league for inner city kids.

Here she is with her sons at MSG (wearing JLin Hornet jerseys in MSG, no less):

She posted a link on JLinPortal to her interview segment on NY's Fox 5 News:

She's a Broadway producer, and I think her husband is a CEO of some Broadway company. I believe she's been active on the Lin fan sites going back quite a bit.

Another one of those bipolar efforts by Lin tonight. Glad he got a chance to shine in the OT. That game may be a classic Hornet comeback one day. Wow to Kemba, Kaminsky and big props to Zeller.

It was an encouraging 4th Q and OT for Lin, just want to see him get more comfortable out there like he belongs. It's coming slowly but surely I think.

**** start, clutch as fsck OT, there was no embarassing final layup attempt

think he is still struggling, not comfortable with jumpers at all... turn down opportunities, dare not go one on one on mismatches... the only positive thing is his defense, his defense is rock solid, so far lin has done a passable job, but we all know he can do so much more on offense, i fell he defers too much on offense, fell like his is afraid to step on somebody's toes sometimes...you can not play offense like that, because you will never get a good rynthm

Lin said on the part 2 of the 2 guys that interviewed him that his signature move is hesitate and go right. I hope he works on that and does it more. But go left or right. Lin's strength is going in a straight line. If he can change direction quicker to add with his elite first step, and then keep working on a step back 2, he opens up his dribble penetration game more and makes it more effective.

This seems to be the Part 2 video

I mean how badly was Lin mistreated before that we saw this pictures of him with his teammates? Are these being posted because it's unusual for him to look like he's getting along with his team?

What type of abused life has Lin been living?

I've been following Lin for a while and I don't think he's had any issues with teammates in the past. I think they're just excite for the win and Lin coming through towards the end.

He's just hard on himself. Of course he won't get along with all of his team mates but most of them really like him.

The guy has ups and downs with his confidence. The whole knock on him is he thinks too much when he plays and the reason sometimes why he plays so well in the 4Q and OT is he just stops thinking and plays his game.

Don't you feel happy for the team chemistry, that MW genuinely happy for Lin? He went off the bench across half the court to meet Lin. I think some reporter even talked to Kemba about this.

Lin fans really appreciate that, and they love every Lin's teammates who are genuinely good to Lin, i think that's natural. It just warm up your heart when you see the togetherness of the team.

I agree he still has quite a bit to improve on but at this point I'll be happy if he improves a little bit at a time rather than trying to go Linsanity all at once. Last night was definitely encouraging as he broke out of his passiveness shell in OT, I wasn't sure that he had that in him. Now if he can improve his stroke and not take as many contested shots....

Don't want to dwell on the past but Lin hasn't had selfless teammates since 2nd unit Linsanity with Novak, Fields, Jeffries. To see teammates celebrate on the bench like Marvin Williams means a lot.

Great game by Kemba last night. Great game by Rudy also. Great to see so many former Huskies on the floor at the same time.

Jeremy Lin had an awesome OT. Many of us that have watched Lin over the years know he is fully capable of those 30+ points outbursts like Kemba had last night. Lin just needs the green light to be the main attacker on the team, which right now he is not. When Lin is playing SG, he is not getting enough touches. Lin is still much more effective when he has the ball in his hands. Lin is playing great defense, which is strange since he is now a defensive stopper.

Overall, a great comeback by the Hornets.

I don't think it's so dependent on anything other than him just doing it. In the OT Lin just did it. In fact, it started a bit in the 4th when he took it upon himself to drive from the corner for a reverse and in a quick flow of the action, on a feed from Lamb he drained a 3. In the OT he just flicked a switch and I think it is his finger on the switch regardless. Of course he has to pick his spots when he plays with other scorers, and Kemba was having a tremendous scoring night, but there was a difference in his approach late in the 4th and OT vs. earlier in the game.

[cw3k]

Lin needs to accept he playing a SG role when Kemba is on the court with him. He needs to make himself available instead of camping.

He has the skill. He just need to have confident in himself. Remember, you miss 100% of the shot you did not take.

Marvin Williams will have a job in the CBA when his NBA playing days are over.

Looks like the Hornets are out doing pre-Thanksgiving charity stuff in Charlotte.
