Super Lintendo: The Jeremy Lin Thread

[Flint]

When the coach said we will play more PNRs next season, I asked him why they didn’t play much last season. He told me to look at the players they got this year. Most of them are good at shooting 3s. When the shooting is great, that will create a lot of space, leading to more PNRs. The Hornets said they need 2 players who are great at PNRs, one is Kemba and I can play PNRs with him when we are on court together.

[/quote]

On Kemba-Lin 1-2 Pick-and-[insert here], what are your thoughts on this strategy in the new "more spread" offense?

Even 1-2 hand-offs at the top of the key could cause slight hesitation, confusion, etc. With good passing, the other 3 might have more open looks and less doubling on Al at the post.

Thoughts?

Lmao.

Good luck Charlotte fans. Expect more of these kind of nonsense. These LOF are relentless.

What's so funny to "lmao" at?

Do you agree that Kobe was chucking under 40% from the field and under 30% from 3 all season and taking petty shots at Lin to cover for his pathetic on court displays? This was while Lin was putting up 50/40/90 and quietly saving the Lakers from blow out after blowout. Kobe was playing for MJ's record and nothing else and he saw that Lin was playing for the team and for team victories as opposed to personal records. Kobe then felt jealous of Lin putting up points efficiently and becoming the face of the franchise and went on to call Lin "soft", call Lin a "coward" and a "p****" amongst other disparaging things. Lin even asked to take the last shot of a game and rightly so because chances Lin scores were much higher than chances the inefficient chukcing Kobe scores. This pissed off Kobe even more and hurt his fake ego. Eventually he asked his son Byron Scott to replace Lin with Price who is a career scrub. Lin was not only outshining Kobe but he is much better player than Price and CLarkson put together. Kobe's jealousy and selfishness ruined Lin last season.

Kobe is not jealous of Lin. If you had watched "linsanity documentary", you would know Kobe actually HATEs Lin. After Lin dropped 38 points on Kobe's Lakers, he said he almost replied the media's question (do you think Kobe should know you by now) with "Kobe who?". Since then, the only chance Kobe could beat Lin is when Lin was his teammate.

you think too much

There is no point to debate how many points Lin would get for now. Hornets is not going to tank purposely like Lakers last year. It is up to Lin to earn his minutes with his performance.

wouldn't everyone on the team need to earn their minutes? oh I get it....

[tonman]

We might have to find a 5th mod just to help out with the Lin crowd. We need someone else like Slam who has a heavy ban hammer.

as long as "rules" are broken and not because a moderator with ban privileges disagrees with the poster. Lin fans already have a history dealing with Clutch...

[yosemiteben]

I think Lin fans will find that the mods here are very forgiving. You have to be WAY out of line to get banned around here.

[blueice]

I'm a Lin fan but I also think some other self-claimed fans are either radical or simply suspicious...

Don't be so sure, now we're up to 4 moderators we have room for a "wildcard" so who knows what will happen

Not a guarantee but just saying that what coaches say is not necessarily what they will do, just going by history. hoep you understand my position yosemite.

I'm saying that no Charlotte fans want to hear a bunch of Lin fans coming on here declaring that they'll be mad if Lin isn't starting after 10 games. Just don't come post on here if that's going to be your take, because we aren't going to want to hear that.

ETA: I do think as a whole Lin fans have been fine and I'm glad to have them and their excitement for the team here, didn't mean to stereotype the group.

If Lin is putting up better numbers than Kemba Walker and proves to be a winning player, will you have problems with Lin starting? Keep in mind Lin took a bunch of scrubs in NY and Houston to the playoffs. Don't we all want what's best for the Hornets and that is winning irrespective of who is on the court? I just feel that Lin is the better player and the better winning player over Kemba. I want Lin to prove it and start on merit. I'm sure coach Cliff is thinking the same way.

lol you need to relax. Houston has Harden, and he isn't a scrub. So let Lin doing the proving, why are you arguing for him. Just chill man.

Yall postin' in a troll thread

[tmd1012]

As a Lin fan, I think it does not matter how many minutes Lin would get or if he would be a starter. What most important for him is to prove he could contribute to Hornets with his play style and consistence. The coach's job is not making promises, is to utilize each player's strength and reach the ultimate goal.

JLin without Harden put up something like 25/10 over 8 games and without Kobe and before Scott marginalized Lin, Lin was leading the Lakers in Points, Assists, Steals and Rebounds. Don't quote me on the latter. It's from our resident Lin expert KHuang over at our forums. I shall spoiler the website as I am not sure it's allowed or not.

Spoiler:

This gives me hope that Lin can lead the Hornets who don't have a so called manufactured superstar like Harden or Kobe to great success given full coach support and teammates buy in.

If Lin is allowed to play 34 minutes a game while handling the ball and being the lead guard, I predict 22/8 and Charlotte finish 4th in the Eastern Conference

So, you basically think Lin is the best PG in the league? Sounds reasonable.

He will need to prove it first that he deserves it, period.

Calling someone else a "troll" and an "idiot" is not the way to improve any situation. In fact, those things are clearly against the rules of the board. So while you are angry about another poster, you are equally guilty of hurting the board.

Like I said yesterday, if you don't like a poster or post, then ignore them. If you see something that is a violation of rules, flag the post and let the mods take a look. Anything else just adds to the problem.

Thanks.

+1. to ignore a user, click on a person's profile and add to foe list (i believe that is how I did it).

Thank you moderator for the intervention. I haven't fired a single personal attack on anyone. I am here to talk basketball mainly Lin and that's about it. I don't have time to fire personal attacks.

Back on topic. Yes, Kemba is the incumbent starter, deserved or not. To some undeserved considering the below 40% shooting but either way that is set in stone. It is up to Lin to prove that he is starter material and I believe he will.

QQ Sports: You also mentioned you had a long talk with Clifford. Did he talk with you about whether you will start or come off the bench because Kemba plays at the starting 1, and things like you will be at 1 or 2? Are there definitive answers to those questions already?

Lin: He said if I was asking him now, then I would come off the bench, But he emphasized if I play well and the team needs me to start, then he wouldn’t limit me to a bench player.

Lin and coach Cliffy himself knows he has a chance to start so to rule him out altogether is not being basketball savvy.

I am sorry you guys have to deal with this now over here.

Jeremy Lin is not better than Kemba Walker. In fact, the Hornets as a whole have nothing to gain by playing Jeremy Lin more minutes than Kemba Walker. Kemba is a better offensive player and a far better defender. Why would the Hornets ever let him be the lead guard over Kemba. Just doesn't make any sense.

Are we talking about the same Jeremy Lin who has had a very pedestrian BPM and VORP EVERYWHERE he has been?

Uhh what? Walker has been consistently shooting below 40% from the field and 32% from 3 point land. That is very mediocre. Lin while being strangled and held back is still shooting respectable 44% and 37%.

Look at Per 36
