~lol~ Seriously tho, Lin is changing his shooting form, no doubt he's gonna get better if he keeps shooting

this is one game you can't look at his stats, he made an impact with his hustle, which is why he played more minutes.

Lin had one of his better games of the year tonight. Stats dont mean ****.

He had decent usage tonight, doing a bit more when playing with Kemba. I think Lin should bring the ball up faster at PG.


You seriously has strong confirmation bias.

For that "He got burned tonight and lucky another wide open shot didn't fall" play, you might want to take a look of that play again.

For that play, Lin gave up the offensive rebound to Butler. Lucky McDermott didn't hit that shot.

Lin came in earlier than usual and played the last few minutes of the half. :P


I only watched the game in spurts but did notice this, great job Clifford! :)

Really good win though, so all is well!

Lin had a good game tonight, and played over Lamb (rightfully so) in the 4th. Anyone who bitches about Lins play tonight is stupid.

But he was in the right position and trying to box out though, he was not successful and strong enough and Butler got the offensive rebound anyway, but he could not defend Butler under the basket and McDermott at 3 pt line at the same time. Somebody else need to pick up McDermott but nobody did.

That's true, but, just gotta box out harder.

Butler is a fantastic player who is big and strong. Took him a little while to get going but Lin did a decent job guarding him and trying to box him out. And Lin stayed at 1 foul in the 1st half while getting a good amount of minutes. Lin did well.

Hornets is #6. But #7-#10 is either tied or one game behind. After 19 games, I hope Clifford can settle his rotations and give his players more consistent roles and minutes (more specific to Lin, because he has been underutilized in many games) to win more games.

@SBondyNYDN
Mark Cuban says Porzingis is not like Jeremy Lin: "Porzingis is the real deal. He's got some **** to him. That's the difference."

Well...someone's salty.

Not a lot of overlap between Lin and the Man Called Zing, tough to make a comparison.

I've been begging for at the very least, 25 minutes for JLin and about 15 minutes as the PG..We got both tonight...Let's hope the past 2 games are the new normal instead of a fling....Kemba should not be playing 35-38 in any night..unless he's scoring and dropping dimes.

Kemba was sick tonight, so this may not be the new norm...Let's hope not.
