Lin was not ready prior.
Put a kid in who is not ready and he fails.
Any success is on MDA.
Its a young season, LIn had no camp and very little practice.
No UK fan saw it, they hoped for it.
He had to earn his time and vault over Bibby.
I don't know what his upside is from here, but he'll have some setbacks.
they all do.
Manage expectations.
Until then......
sure just like Mr Miyagi. MDA was just timing it perfectly - this was his plan all along.
This is a joke right? It must be because it really made me laugh.
If its a joke its really funny. If its not take a break.
Its obviously a joke. If I hear one more 3 on 3 story I'm gonna puke.
TD just understood all the sets that JLin did not ... blah blah blah
In sports, sometimes you fling sh1t and it sticks and sometimes it does not. But you gotta fling ...
Look we all saw the kid had talent, but he also hasn't gotten a fair shot in his short career so far. We picked him up cuz another team had to let him go. Let's just be happy that he was prepared and ready for his big moment. He looked even more comfortable than he did in his previous garbage time outings and his 1st legit minutes in Boston.
This is exactly how MDA handled Shawne in that he was doing well in practice for a while. This is important cuz maybe it's a fluke and he just had a couple of good practices, but when you see it over time you gain confidence that what you're seeing is for real. That gave MDA confidence that could contribute, just like last year with Shawne. Let's remember that Lin is a career 2.8ppg and 1.6 asts. It's not like he had this track record of success.
I can't see how anyone can really complain about how this kid was brought along. They managed it as well as they could to try and give him every chance for success. He didn't have any setback games. Just a nice progression and a breakout performance. Now hopefully he can settle into a role.

Good points, also shawne had the advantage because of the practice time each team had last year, this year Lin was just going through shootarounds or light practices.
Mike bibby is going to be cut now for sure if we get JR Smith.
if we do our bench will be solid with
Lin,shumpert,smith,harrelson,jeffries- making the rotation with douglas receiving garbage time. Im for sure teams will be scared once the playoffs come as we will be deep!
JJ2 looked good of late.
Fits into the fiber of the team.
The bench in response to Lin was very good to see.
This is not a team who gave up on its coach.
This looks like a team playing for its coach but struggles to master the lesson.
We need to make the playoffs.
