Statistically speaking, Jeremy is on the verge of the All-Time greats in regards to 5 straight games of at least 20 + points, 6+ assists and 50% shooting. See article attached. Click here. However, the one unfavorable factor that is talked about of no one seeing this coming is completely hogwash. Kobe Bryant was right on the money when he said "Players don't usually come out of nowhere,""If you go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there but no one ever noticed." Actually, the reason no one noticed was that he wasn't given a chance. So, no matter what happens tonight, I'm on record saying the Jeremy Lin will be one of the All Time greats. Again, we'll hear all of the naysayers and doubters, but as I've been saying for over 2 years, the numbers don't lie.
Enjoy!
Really looking forward to tonight's game. Glad to see all the love for Lin.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone's interested I found some pretty nice looking t-shirts at www.teamlinsanity.com. Seems to be a nice alternative to the tees at insanity.com.
anyone know where we can watch tonight's game online? TIA.
ReplyDeleteThe yellah mamba will put up the usual - 20 or more pts / 7 or more asts / 50% or better fg - throw in several rebounds / a few great defensive plays / couple steals / maybe a block or so / and if feelin real good then throw in a thunder jam!
ReplyDeleteAfter the 1st:
ReplyDelete9pts
3 assists
1 reb
1 steal
Unreal. Rubio is the real deal too.
First Half stats
ReplyDelete15 pts 4 ast. Not bad but he looked sloppy out there. He needs to get his teammates more involved. We also need to double team Love and let Rubio take the outside jump shots.
JLin at the half:
ReplyDelete15 points
4 assists
2 reb
2 stls
Love dominating inside with 20/11rebs
Rubio for real with 8/5assists
N. Pekovic and Love is killing us right now. N. Pekovic with 15 pts 10 rebounds. Love with 23 pts 14 rebounds.
ReplyDeleteLin looks tired tonight- he's not getting the ball up above the rim on his drives. we'll have to see if he's saving it for the 4th quarter
ReplyDeletenot only that it affects your mentality too. he' got a few costly turnovers. they are riding him too much.
ReplyDeleteJLin:
ReplyDeleteAssist and free throw to win it!
WOW.. WOW. Novak, Shump and the rest of the guys really stepped up today. you can tell Lin was really tired especially after last nights performanc.
ReplyDeleteGreat, ugly win. Lin has an off-day shooting, but he comes through in the home stretch. Superb team effort. Shumpert, Fields, Novak.
ReplyDeleteIt's really important and impressive to win games even when you don't have your best. Lin and Knicks showed that tonight.
So the announcer says Lin has an off night- looks fatigued, but he still gets 20 pts.
ReplyDeleteThe yellah mamba was tired but still came through with solid numbers except fg % -

ReplyDeleteReally ugly game from Lin tonight. Too many turnovers again and not finishing at the rim (a couple of easy layups missed). Knicks stole this game from the Wolves. Played great defensively. Steve Novak really should be starting over Walker. Walker is absolute garbage. Lin probably would've had 10 assts+ if he played with Novak more. Lin definitely outplayed Rubio though.
ReplyDeleteI find the Lin vs Wes Johnson stats most compelling.
ReplyDeleteWhile Lin has an "off night" by scoring a career low 20 points as a starter (ha ha), Wes Johnson amasses a mighty stat line of 0-1-0.
Wes Johnson was the #4 overall pick in 2010. That was the year Lin went undrafted. Minnesota could have had Lin AND Ricky Rubio starting in the backcourt together.
Bad drafting destroys franchises.
I'd take 20-8-6 and a win damn night... Rubio, LOL.... He was all over Lin too....
ReplyDeleteI thought Kobe's comments were very telling. From someone who had instant notieriety to be able to comment on the other side of the spectrum—saying perserverance and hard work.
ReplyDeleteKobe is right. He did go unnoticed and i'll tell you why: he didn't fit the profile; he went to Harvard and he's asian. The commentators, just like some others, don't know how to make sense of it, because they never seen anything like it, or more importantly, they didn't want to see it (refer to Kobe's quote).
