Play Lin
- Thread starter JujuXG
- Start date
I think what i like most about Lin is the fact that he see the Screen on Defense and fights through it. He's just fundamentally sound. Also he seems to have chemistry with Jerome. This clip is highlight of him playing non garbage time in Golden State. He can't really score but look at his defense. Everytime, pushes the big man off the screen and stays in front of his man.

Toney Douglas is 10x the athlete and plays much smoother than Lin, who always looks outta control, but Toney has terrible court vision...he stays running into the Pick every time.

agreed, definitely has to play the 2 he just looks uncomfortable running plays out there. i feel like right now Douglas has some issues with confidence and MDA isn't helping him by playing him at the 1.
not enough contested 3s with 17 seconds left

He's just realizing this now? LOL When is MDA going to realize that Douglas and Jeffries are the reason we're not a .500 team now.

Looking at the limited view of a stat line for j.Lin he's got one thing I like alot. It's not his scoring, it's his assists. Every game he's played he's gotten a decent amount of assists for his time on the court.
Granted I have not seen the games(time warner customer, F* dolan and his greed) So I don't know if he's getting burnt defensively...but I like his stat line. Dime heavy. especially since they brought him up...I don't see why they don't play him more.

Really? play T.Douglas at the 2?
I like T.douglas as a player, he is the kind of guy you want in your locker room and at your practices. He's a hussler, plays hard and seems like a good teamate. But that said, he's not a hugely talented scorer. he's average at best and he's a sub par PG. We can have any taller Guard that hussles will have the same or better results.
Defensivly, I like him covering the other teams PG, but if he's our SG covering the opponnents PG, who does our PG cover?
I think, ditch T.D. or trade him. he's got no place in NBA.
Baron and Lin, should be PG's
shumpert and fields, SG's maybe keep TD third string with a limited minutes as SG or PG
Carmelo and walker SF balkman
Amare and jefferies PF novac
Chandler and Jorts or Jordan C
No offense, but we don't need an undersized SG coming off the bench.

@JalenRose tweeted this:
BTW...ANYONE that says "I knew" or "predicted" that Lin could perform at this level is clearly not being honest #NBA
Here's my tweet back to him:
@jalenrose You're actually dead wrong. Knicks fans have been calling for linsanity for months. We saw the talent! http://www.knicksonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11832

I think he wrote that before Lin went off.
i dont care....its not like he said lin wont go off for 38 points and 7 assists against the lakers....he said limited talent wise. even though hes the only one with the 'talent' to penetrate.

I still can't believe how quickly Lin's upped his game. I thought he'd be a 10/5 guy, not a 20/10. (And definitely not a 40/10! Although I didn't think STAT would be out and Jeffries would be rebounding.)

NBA Draft Preview 2010: Jeremy Lin, G Harvard
by Ed Weiland Any team looking to find a starting PG in the 2010 NBA draft had best win the lottery and get the top pick. A year after the legendary PG draft of 2009, the pickings for playmakers are going to be thin. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a player or two who surprise the experts though.
The best candidate to pull off such a surprise might be Harvard’s Jeremy Lin. The reason is two numbers Lin posted, 2-point FG pct and RSB40. Lin was at .598 and 9.7. This is impressive on both counts. These numbers show NBA athleticism better than any other, because a high score in both shows dominance at the college level on both ends of the court... Find the List here:

Lol... C'mon. This thread was made 15 days ago not months ago and nowhere in this thread did anyone expect Jeremy Lin to have the best start to an NBA starting career in history.
I applaud those who saw the potential in Lin to be our distributor but lets not pretend we foresaw the coming of an all-star because that didn't happen

I knew he was going to be really good in this offense. I don't think anyone said he'd have a 26 ppg avg prior but I knew he could be a 15 and 8 guy. Anyone who watched him play in the few minutes he got to play on our team could tell he would be great in this system. Do I really have to go back in threads and show you where I was saying Jeremy was the answer for our problems at PG and that we didn't need to look outside of our team to fix the PG situation? I really don't want to but I will to prove a point. I also said Novak would be awesome if he just got some play time. Just say the word and I'll bump my older posts. Also, I'm not the only one who was saying that...There was a few of us that had an idea that he was the answer to our problems at point.
