NBA · Summary of Jeremy "Gift" Lin's Pre-Season.... (page 12)

3G4G wrote:Tonight they ran out of gas, looked tired. Lin played good and bad. The Alley Oop play was not heady at all, but he had 3 dimes tonight that were really incredible. Needs to take more midrange shots just to keep the defense honest.

I agree about him playing good and bad. I watched the fourth quarter and the ot seemed like Lin had his shot blocked a lot, at least twice.

Why do you even care? LMAO! He had an average game. That is that. Truth bother you that much?!?!

You kids are just whining because Lin did not deliver a gift tonight. I understand. Don't attack the messenger. LoL!

He updates every night they play. Not speaking for Nupe but on the nights the Knicks play I watch other games. Tonight is the first night I was able to watch Lin( some nights I just can't watch hoops) as a Rocket.

It would be a bit of a boring thread if it was just basically a scorebot of Lin's stats!

I'm finding all the back and forth arguments between people wanting him to do well, and people wanting him to fail, quite entertaining- I suppose it's because I can't really decide whether I think he's a legit good player or just average, and I can't decided if I want him to do well or not.

So yeah, these constant game to game analysis are interesting to me- really don't know who's going to be proven right by the end of the season.

I agree it would be boring. If you're expressing your views (or "agenda" as Nupe puts it) rather than just facts, as might as well admit it though.

You are grasping for something that just is not there. I have said I think Lin is a decent player with potential multiple times. To be clear, my two main gripes with Lin were his bad shooting and turnovers. It seems he still needs to work on those things. I will say that his left hand looks a lot stronger now than it did last year.

I just don't think he is a gift or worth taking a massive lux. tax hit over. This makes me a hater?!?! LoL!

As for my analysis. It has been fair and I won't and have not hesitated to give Lin credit when it is due.

My only problem with Lin are when everyone else gets dissed in order to elevate him. Other then that I wish him well. I think he will be a 15-16pts 5rebs 7-8ast guy which is what he has been currenly. Im concerned though that with his style of play and frame he will have a ton of injuries holding him back has he gets older. He needs to work heavily on his midrange pull up jumper which would preserve his career and make him very deadly given his size and ability to shoot over other guards. He also can't guard anybody, and he doesn't have Shumpert to save him on that side of the ball anymore like he did vs Calderon.

On a side note Damian Lillard is balling.

Yea, Lillard has looked pretty great. He is off to a great start like Jennings was his rookie year. Will be interesting to see if Lillard avoids the so called rookie wall.

Did I call you a hater? Perhaps you have a guilty conscience? What exactly am I grasping at?

A guilty conscience over Jeremy Lin?!?! LoL! You are grasping in the sense that you are clinging to some idea that I have some anti-Lin agenda when the reality is I have said he played great when applicable, said he played alright when applicable and said he played terrible when applicable.

You have not even commented on his last game or his general performance through the pre-season and reg. season much. All you have done is basically attack me. I guess it is easier for you to attack me then acknowledge Lin's play has generally been average, overall, thus far.

I think you're the only one here who wants commentary on every single pre and regular season game of Lin. Sorry I'm not interested in that.

One thing I'll say about Lin and Harden...They are working really hard for each basket...How that holds up over 82 games I don't know...Bron and Wade was working like that last year and I had my doubts about them, but they were in supreme condition...Lin is going to the hole for most of his shots...Hope he is taking supplements, he gonna need em...

Pot calling the Kettle.....

If you're making 53% (.642 TS%), the shots can't be that hard!

Lin pre-season average: 24.8 MPG, 6.2 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 6.0 APG, 2.2 SPG, 3.0 TO, .295 FG%, .300 3P%, .727 FT%. By any standard, an awful pre-season.

Now, the reg. season has begun. His stats are as follows:

Game 1 @ Det.: 35.5 minutes, 12 Points, 4 Rebounds, 8 Assists, 4 Steals, 4 TO, .417 FG%, .000 3P%, 1.00 FT%
Game 2 @ Atl.: 33.3 minutes, 21 points, 10 Rebounds, 7 assists, 0 Steals, 3 TO, .375 FG%, .666 3P%, .875 FT%
Game 3 @ Por.: 37.2 minutes, 13 points, 3 Rebounds, 7 assists, 3 Steals, 3 TO, .384 FG%, .250 3P%, 1.00 FT%

Average game for Lin. Rough shooting night for him. His assists and steals are consistent. His shooting has been bad overall.

Reg. Season Average (through 3 games):

15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 2.3 steals, 3.3 TO, 39% FG%, 33% 3PT%, 91.7% FT%

Average is about in line with my expectations for Lin so far.

This is a message board for discussion and thoughts and opinions. You don't need to respond to anything I post. Don't like it then simply do not open the thread. LoL!

It's funny because I have updated the thread after each game thus far this season. LoL!

Lin has played pretty well thus far although his shooting has been suspect. I really want to see how he plays against legit western conference teams though like OKC, LAC, SAS and the bunch.
