I agree. But why does he do this? He's done this for the past 3 seasons on 3 different teams. I don't get why sometimes Lin plays decisive and assertive and other times he's deferring.
I whole heartedly disagree with time post above me that it's by design in way of the motion offense. Maybe partially, but Lin is not a 3&D player. I'm pretty damn sure Clifford knows this. If Lin wants to be assertive he can. Sometimes he is, sometimes he's not. Terry was a bitch tonight giving him an early cheap shot. Maybe it fired him up.
I think it did. I think Lee is playing the 3 and D role the right way. He's spacing yet going to the ball. And his shot is true. Lin's more of a penetrator so maybe it's just picking spots and knowing when to get to the ball aggressively at the right times.
