That can makes you loose confidence and play stressed.

True, but MANY of his turnovers have been just careless out of focus turnovers. He needs to cut them urgently.

well if you are double teamed and your players dont come to the ball its gonna create turnovers it happens

DUDE! LEt me tell you I love Lin, but I've got some newsflash for you: he actually makes mistakes. Amazing, right? Yeah, I know. I can understand the turnovers off double teams where they actually foul them. But he has like 4 where its been single coverage and he has just been careless. He didn't look ready for this type of game. He will get there, hopefully this next half, but to sugarcoat him because he is Lin? Nah, being objective is better.

I expect Lin to turn his game around and be a key in this second half, especially in the fourth.

of course he does i never said otherwise. i even said he is having an off night it happens. but people want to get rid of him already lol

Not me. I love him. But he needs to overcome this for us to play like we have to.

im the most objective fan out there. i never said "Lin is playing great" i just said lets see him play the whole game first. i mean he is playing the heat for the first time so he needs time to adjust. i mean the rest of the team has to help him out sometimes

If he wants to be considered Elite

The kid is having a bad game so far. It happens. Hopefully he turns it around in the 2nd half.

What's the deal??

We have 15 turnovers and only down 4. Lin played a terrible 1st half.

Ah, shit.

Let's do it!

Its funny how every NBA player loves the Lin story but when they play him they just want to break his extremities.

lol Very true. Deron is the only one who kept it real. Said I don't care about it and he was ready to play.
