Lin's stats for tonight's game:

4 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 TO, 1 block, 20% FG% (2-10), 0% 3% (0-3), FT% (0-0)...

This line is abysmal and massively inefficient, imo.

50/50 outcome J-Lin misses with airball - the Rockets fans scream JEREMY LIN sucks. J-Lin makes the shot and wins the game. Rockets fans will scream "LINSANITY RETURNS!!!:

Harden appears to be slowly figuring out the league and he's starting to get respect from the refs. He may end up leading the league in scoring.

Which makes the Knicks choice look even better. U don't pay that price for a project. Wish him the best though.

NYKMentality wrote:Man, box score aside, Jeremy Lin was awful out there tonight. Struggled against a below average Hornets team. Looked lost and confused out there. Just an overrated player due to 26 career regular season games. Can't stress it enough, thank god our front office passed up on overpaying Lin while contining to improve our roster/franchise.

And I can't stressed enough how badly the coach is playing him as a spot up 3 shooter. If Lin were still a Knicks right now and all he did was spot up for a shot, you and everyone else would be screaming about it. Lin/Novak was so beautiful to watch. Because Lin is the passer in that offense, not the spot up shooter. Why is he the spot up shooter? I just get it? Rockets SMH.

We all know the running offense of Lin is his strong suit. The Rockets turned him into a boring player and in turn, they're turning their entire roster into boring players along with it.

If they want to make Harden a PG, why don't they just come out and say it.

I'm not comparing Lin to Nash here but imagine if Nash were a 'pass and park' player like Lin right now. Fans would be screaming mad about it. Under McHale and Sampson, even Nash would look tired and boring.

No confidence at all in Lin. He's getting crappy possession and crappy shot selections.

There was a moment in the 4th where Lin was wide open and Harden was standing 3 feet behind him. The lane was wide open. Lin hesitated for a moment before turning around to pass the ball to Harden.

WTF kind of crap is that? That's not the LIN we all know. He would have busted down the middle lane and draw a foul AND one. It's sad to see Lin not rushing the lane anymore and yet people are ripping on him for him.

You know, I think MDA have already sailed that ship a long time ago. If MDA had a choice of back up PG he would like to bring to the team, I bet J-Lin's name is 7th or 8th on the list.

+ 1 Dantoni also wanted to trade Melo for D-Will, shows how much faith he had in Lin

D Will is an a $ $hole

Is that because of Woodson?

Lin under McHale/Sampson = Failure

Lin under Woodson = Success.

When Lin played under Woodson, he was active offensively. He controlled the ball. There was no pass-and-park play that the Rockets are employing right now. I never once saw Lin just passively playing under Woodson. He was involved offensively. He controlled the ball and he was active. He didn't just pass all the time and ran off to a corner and wait for an opportunity to shoot.

Rockets offense are weird as hell.
