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

[BlackOutBuzz]

Sounds like this summer is going to be wildly speculative. Anyone know if Amick or Amico is the the reliable one? I keep getting the two guys confused. One is suppose to be reliable, the other less so.

Amick is good, Amico not so much.

I'm starting to suspect some of the frequent posters in this thread are fan girls.

Only starting?

Wait until you meet a Chandler Parsons fangirl, I ran into a few of them when he was on the Rockets. I also know several fans of various soccer and tennis stars cus of their looks. It happens lol

yes, i heard chandler parsons is a model. Too bad for his fangirls, they don't know that he swings the other way

Looks like Lin is gonna get his mins cut. Benched from Starter, benched from backup PG to be backup SG, and now he got his lunch taken by Troy Daniels and Brian Roberts. If his scrub ass cant make open shots and not make stupid TOs, there's no point playing him so much.

Yeah give troy and roberts lins minutes thats great team will go for 10 wins in a row. my god how can someone just take a massive **** on one player like he was the sole purpose for the team going under...never mind that he is put in a corner barely doing anything on this team and still somehow manages to average 12 points for this team. The whole damn team is based of kemba and no one else. good luck with that in the future

You both need to take it easy. This is one game that Daniels and Roberts closed over Lin, I don't see any reason for Clifford to cut his minutes, he's actually been pretty good as of late. And no, he isn't put in the corner barely doing anything. He's got opportunities to make plays with the ball in his hands, he just haven't consistently produced for this team yet.

agreed about lin playing like a scrub the past few games. Though I think the reason hes sucking recently is at least partly because of the team. The guys on our team just playing garbage D, letting the other team score at will. Teams like orlando magic, considered the worst offensive team in the league, who have never scored more than 90 points in a game, suddenly managing to score 90 by the end of the 3rd quarter on the hornets. It is probably taking a mental toll on him, and not just him but alot of guys on the team. When the hornets started off 15-9 in the season and were 2nd in the east, now they're crap again losing almost every game and barely hanging on to 12th place, it will affect guys in different ways. He might be thinking, theres no point in playing hard when the rest of the team is just completely sucking. If the hornets manage a winning streak, I think lin will turn around his game, but until then im not so confident he will perform to his full potential.

Lin hasn't been bad for us by any stretch, although he's been far from good as of late.

He's been playing his role and his play will pick up over the second half of the season.

People need to quit acting as if it is anyone's fault but Lin's though.

[thekiller99]

I'm really pissed at Lin for continuing to miss wide open 3s. His 3p% is 0.312!

[bws94]

Lin hasn't played poorly the last few games. He played poorly last night, but played fine the two games prior. He isn't right physically, some nights he's better than other nights. He has to handle pressure defenders better. If I were Lin's advisers and coaches, I'd have that be the number one priority to work on. Whether it is passing faster or just flat out dribbling with more purpose and skill to handle ball-pressure defenders better. I'm not worried about his shooting. He can still get in the paint and hit shots, he just has to figure out different ways to do it. And he is good at creating off the dribble-drive which is his game. His defense wasn't great last night but Oladipo is a tough cover for a lot of players and Oladipo was hitting his perimeter shot which isn't always the case.

[Teddyb]

first, Lin played like crap last night. You want to be pissed at Lins shooing %. Heres what you should really be pissed at. In the first quarter last night Lin took ONE shot...ONE.....he had open looks and passed on the shot. Thats something to be pissed about.

And heres why Lin didn't finish the game. Because he was bad....not awful but bad and he knew it. But its rediulous to think that Lin is going to lose minutes when he's playing well....

Lin is an inconsistent player who's likely NEVER going to be anymore than he is.....Average. Linsanity wasn't real, he doesn't have the balls to play at that level and he has proven it for the last 4 years. He for the last 5 years has been pushed around on the floor....mr christian polite.....he doesn't stand up for himself EVER...and he gets rolled because of it.

As far as his role on the Hornets. He's a steal. For 2 million he's awesome. You play him when he's on and don't when he's not....thats what Clifford did last night.

I'll be the first to say lin was straight up garbage last night. but lets not act as if he is the sole purpose for the team being down last night. he had a bad game move on to the next one.


And to be honest it does look like Lin is hurt out there, yeah i know the team has basically no one right now, but i'd rather he not play until after asg break if he is not 100%

[cw3k]

Kemba is the one responsible for both win and loss. Clifford plan has been clear by now that since Al went down, everything go around Kemba. Everyone else just a support role, even Batum who had played at a very high level earlier the season.

No. Lin's minutes will not reduce because of one game. It is ridiculous to think Clifford would do throw away his rotation mid season base on just 1 game.

[gafun]

It is strange. Lin seemed not want the ball at all in the second half. I don't think TOs is the reason. He looked like a completely different person. Did he talk about it after game? I hope he was not bothered by injury. He doesn't seem upset or pain on the bench.

yeah oladipo is a tough cover...except bryan roberts, (3rd string backup pg) was doing a fantastic job on him in the 4th when it mattered. Playing the D like lin should have.. Last month his shot has been awful. No player I know has crap shooting from a sprained ankle for so long. Usually, 1 to 2 weeks and the ankle is fully healed, even while playing through it. To me it just sounds like an excuse for his god awful performances, awful shooting percentages, awful 3 point percentages. Lin is NOT a superstar, if you need a good example of what a superstar is, look at kemba.

Lin and Lin only fans need to look in the mirror and accept the TRUTH. Lin is a bench player, a GOOD bench player, but still a bench player all the same. Its crazy, I got banned from both lin fan sites for telling it like it is. Guys on jlinportal called it "trolling" and banned me for pointing out that lin sucked last night. Bunch of crazy fanatics over there at jlinportal and jeremylin.net. Even though lin obviously sucked last night, there is so many delusional posts, giving so many excuses, blaming other players and the coach. Absolutely disgusting, and I would stop going there if it wasn't so entertaining. Its a damn cult, and anybody who is even suspected of saying anything that is opposite their "beliefs" is put on the blacklist and banned. If lin retired after this season, it might be for the best, his ridiculous fans are just ruining him.

He said he didn't give the team as much as he needed to but was really happy for Daniels and Roberts. Lin always downplays his injuries, didn't say a thing about that.

Who said Lin is a superstar or any other type of star? Lin's finishing around the hoop was good in some games, not so good in others. His jump shot has been off pretty much the whole season, that's not due to his injury. What is due to his injury is explosiveness and steadiness on his feet. Last night was one of those nights where he had neither. And it affected his D too, he didn't really play Oladipo that well and did better in the first meeting against them.

On jlinportal I'm consider a Lin critic and not a true Lin fan and all that garbage. I get tired of the whining and putting down Kemba there and Lin can't play unless he is a point guard stuff. I point out that his handles are holding him back from PG and they act as if it is some other reason, some plot on Kemba and Batum's part to make Lin look bad which is ludicrous. Kemba and Batum want Lin to do well and like it when he does. So I'm in agreement with you about those sites. I stay on there hoping for some saner responses sometimes but it gets tiring all of the everyone is against Lin junk on them. Or not respecting the fact that Kemba has been mostly above his regular level of play and sometimes spectacular and not responsible for Lin not playing as well as he could.

I think Lin is a Ginobili-lite player. So his coming off the bench is fine with me. But he isn't just a backup either. But he seriously needs to work on his ball-security if he wants to be counted on to do the offensive things he's capable of doing. And he needs to fine-tune his passing timing and angles and stuff like that as well. He's playing below his skill level this season in my opinion.

[lin is ok]

lol lin fans imploding . chill out , lin will pick up his game soon. Usually after allstarbreak. It's got alot to do with him and coach figuring out how to best use his talents. Had a near prefect game except for that last (head scratching) turn over. Noticed how the offense stagnanted and the defense slumped when he was sitting during the 4th ? +23 in plus minus, compared to Kemba's +10 (not to knock Kemba)

Don't go to jLinportal! It's a Lin worshipping shrine there! One bad word about Lin and you're a child of Satan.
Site is filled with delusional lunatics with only the main admin being the logical one. His child mods are a bunch of fangirls starting up theories that NBA are purposely tying down Lin.
