I smell very stinky from TWc, they played a recorded call in the air saying Jeremy Lin is not t a true point guard. WTF and the hosts didn’t even defend it?

Whatever….I guess it does not matter anyway.

Lin post game interview.

I think so too.

impossible….

doubt it if players havee a scheme and don’t follow it its the players fault. like lin said

That was a mid range. I think the key is he has to sway both feet to make it work

….

Jeremy’s reaction
https://twitter.com/penny10654/status/536029191922143232

they all did it. davis did it as well so. he did bench all of them the fourth

be fair, he’s just matching Kobe …

once the mavs was hot from three good defense would’ve done nothing

Good D would not allow open 3 but the main problem was about forcing shots, just watch the game again, no ball movement.

just wait, It’s only the beginning.

Never mind about that.. I think to fans or boss, score it’s all matter to them… I am glad Lin finally showed his game now. That’s good for him no matter he will stay in Lakers or not.

pessimism

No. 70 Brent Barnaky.

thanks, added to Video Gallery on homepage

I see a target on his back 😛

you’re not making sense.

mavs are the best offense team once they got going it was over

you and JLin muscle and abs :]

Been hangin’ with IJ lately? 🙂

Hope Dallas beats them tomorrow.

It frustrates me to no end watching Kobe jack up contested shots while Jeremy is wide open on the 3 pt line.

Also, back when Nash was playing, he’d always take the technical foul shot because he was a 90%+ FT shooter. Now that Jeremy is the best FT shooter all season at 90%+, why is Kobe at 79% taking all the technical foul shots?

yep true

Something about catching MJ. With shooting nights like these, he needs all the help he can get.

What we say about not being mean to players and coaches don’t apply to refs right?
I mean are we allowed to say that Brent Barnaky is kinda blind and probably has money on the game, and is thus a cheater? If not, then I won’t say it.

no ellis is a ball dominate guard with parsons and dirk. rox ll over again

Jameer Nelson looked like he could play PG, had the ball and was penetrating. Beat JLin a couple of times. Wasn’t standing in the corner waiting to shoot a 3. Carlisle isn’t McHale.

3rd quarter – 10:00Jeremy Lin offensive foul (Chandler Parsons draws the foul)63-72 10:00Jeremy Lin turnover

what is the definition of a true pg?
pass first like rubino?
So westbrook is not a true pg
Dwill is not a true pg..
HELLO????

exactly.. make it viral and put in a comparison with wade and everyone..

But my worry and is.. houston ALWAYS gave him that foul ..remember the woman ref..saying he ‘KICK’.. So I don’t know what the real ruling is.. it was quite consistent. Maybe should find out the rule???

So if someone can find a few comparison where say lebron doesn’t get the call.. we have a case.

Also happend in houston with that woman ref.

If Lakers can beat them in a back to back, Dallas won’t have any problems!

Was that ref #70 Brent Barnaky (5th Season)? (see the tweet bluebell shared in the thread below).

“it don’t matter”

Alaingrvis

Yes, after that JLin needs to keep this stat for the season average in order to get in the 50-40-90 club!

I have other reasons, and they involve Las Vegas.

Like. refs being drunk?

Yeah! ;-P

Very dangerous play by the defender, Lin could have landed awkwardly and been injured. Oh, the injustices that Lin faces!!! 🙁

Sad to say it seems true. It’s like they have to prove to their colleagues that they are not partial to other Asians so they go extra hard on Asians.

lol

Lin is the problem when everyone else not follow through the system. Not BS

Said haters.

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/536042902720233473

forget about haters……

I don’t mind them if they argued with intelligent.

intelligent hate….never heard of it b4

they ask him about how he felt in the system he said I’m getting used to it little by little. baby steps

kobe will shoot what he will get over it or be mad every game. 20 shots every game is what it will be. like mj in washington. it is what it is

ok with the cost of the team. I got it.

its his team

LOL that sounds very dumb for intelligent conversation.

But someone caught your lies.

again you guys speak from a privilege position lin doesn’t have. get real stop this fantasy. kobe is the greatest laker ever probably. he has 5 chips. he can do what he wants. you wouldd have a better argument if it was harden

did you watch the interview no I’m guessing. its the last question at 2:02 if you are lazy. he ask do you feel better in this offense to that lin says exactly slowly i mean every day its baby steps. stop being lazy do your own research also why would i lie

Ellis for Lin then, problem solved. 🙂

doubt it he has 5 chips its just another night to him

Refs don’t seem to call stuff on Lin constantly.

Remember this one?:

http://youtu.be/wuPvNjtnef8

its was how he feels in the offensive scheme. do your research before you say with all the confidence in the world like you are right.

I missed today’s game 🙁

It seems Jeremy had good game, the defense seem to suck Q3 onwards?
Kobe being Kobe 🙁
And the Benched was at worst, eventually causing the lost. And NYoung couldnt get it going as well, sigh!
Mav’s bench was at their best at 3pters!

ANyways, its a schedule loss, so not going to get worked over it

Lets looks forward on next game

jl highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4iFqW3r8YM

I wasn’t distracted by Kobe … Lin had a lot of ball so it felt balanced. I was actually rooting for Kobe to heat up to keep the game close. That D though was bad, and the had that 7 pt before half sacrebleu play, then the slowly lost contact. I think Sacre really helped change the tempo with his terrible mistake and then and 1 foul.

no judging, I like the consistency :]

and a nice big contract afterwards! yeah!

yup they have plays where the use each other to get open

You know what, that might be an offensive foul because in the past year or two, the NBA started emphasizing the calls on the leg kickout. Basically, Lin right leg kicked out forward. Monta was jumping in front of Lin. Even though Lin did not intentionally do it to draw a foul, Monta probably would not have collided with him if Lin didn’t kick out.

This didn’t used to be called an offensive foul, but they started emphasizing it in 2012.
http://www.si.com/nba/point-forward/2012/10/22/reggie-miller-rule-nba-referees-dwyane-wade

judge Lin’s abs instead?

thats the reason why the refs called that kung fu kick foul on Lin. They are so afraid of the power Lin has.

https://twitter.com/linspiredinca/status/536048514212450304

The Wilson Wave is a terrible ball. LOL

Stalkercam

Thanks for the find. Great to see the interaction of JLin with so many people toward the end.

That is why he used that for signature. He is not gonna play it anyway

awesome vid!

Yup, my favorite part.

LakersGround rating on Lin : Smiley-Winking Face
It looks like they want Lin to take good shots rather than dumping to teammates with worse shots.
Further proof to Worthy that Lin is a PG at heart.

http://forums.lakersground.net/viewtopic.php?t=171064

Lin — — Good first half reading the D and taking what was available for the most part to score 12 points. There were still instances where he passed up a good shot to dump it to a teammate and we ended up with a worse shot. He needs to keep his foot on the gas. The Mavs took a timeout during one stretch when he was starting to feel it. A couple turnovers later and he was not the same threat any more.

The Stats: He scored 18 points on 8-11 shooting (2-3 from three) to go with 4 boards, 5 assists, 1 block, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls in 27 minutes. He was a -22.

The Action: He missed a pull-up from about 8 feet in the lane, wide open, got to hit those (keep shooting, though). He sank a three off the split play. He airballed an open jumper off the split play. He attacked to his left and scored a layup. He passed up an open three, it led to a long contested chuck from Young, got to take those. He attacked baseline on a kickout and reversed. He swished an open wing jumper shedding his man on a screen and not hesitating on the shot. Next time down he pulled up behind a screen and swished a three to force a timeout. He attacked the lane and was somehow stripped. He threw a pass away, layup the other way. He attacked and kicked to Kobe for three. He had 12 points on 5-7 shooting.

Second Half: They called a horrible offensive foul on him when he pulled up and hit a jumper, calling him for the leg kickout, so weak. Good help D on Kobe’s man to draw a charge on the drive.He hit Kobe with the bounce pass for the open baseline jumper. He missed a wing three. He hit a short pull-up jumper from the left side. He sank a turnaround elbow jumper. He threw a pass away expecting a whistle. He took an inbounds, attacked a lane quickly and got a goaltend call on the layup.

LA media wannabe?

Whoa, did you guys see the part at the end when JLin gets physical with Chandler Parsons and shoves him making him drop a bag of ice he was using. Parsons picks up bag of ice and gets into Jeremy’s face saying some stuff but I can’t see what since the back of his head is facing the camera. The talking gains momentum and Parsons throws the bag of ice to the sideline and he’s still in Jlin’s face. Then out of nowhere, Dallas assistant coach tackles Lin and the video ends shortly after.

shouldn’t have been offensive foul, you meant to say?

Im still firmly #TeamParsLins. Such to see Chandler still has those back issues.
And it looks like Jeremy is close to Boozer :3

Hey Jer, come play here next year.
Maybe.
Assist Coach: Dude, next year man!

Those back pain, hardly goes away. They have to lean to live with it. Players do back strengthening exercises to compensate. Its part of what it is playing BB

hmm. what’s the ranking of their smilies?

Maybe at the trade deadline in February. Lakers can have Felton. LOL

choking? :p

That would be funny. Felton following Lin’s trail :>

Parsons must be jokingly gave Lin a hard time about winning.
We might have a DAL pitch next year since Rick Carlisle knows Lin’s values well.

Lol, poor Sacre. He’s getting a lot of flack for that play but really, the Lakers D was a mess all night. So many dumb turnovers and so many people left wide open for shots.

I think of all active coaches in the NBA, I think Rick Carlisle must be the Top 2 that really knows what Jeremy Lin brings as an engine of the team. His comments had always been thoughtful showing admiration and analysis on his part

Did Dallas make an offer in 2012 after summer league?

LOL I like that a lot:-) Can’t resist to have a good laugh on it.

yes, but Lin would need to go to D-League for a year, I think.
Plus GSW offer (or LAL offer) was better.

I have mixed feelings about that but I’ll be happy if Lin gets many offers to choose from.

I know about GSW’s offer and reason why he took it. Only know Lakers did offer because of media conference when JLin was traded. Now Dallas. Hey slow in catching up this piece of news:-) There was another team also made an offer right? Remember which team?

the surface has a wavy texture, it’s wack

IIRC, it was an Eastern Conference team. Speculation was it was the Knicks since all those teams he worked out for prior to draft. I’m not completely sure about this info though, memory’s hazy.

.ko

Imagine Dallas knocking Houston out of the playoffs with Lin at the helm

I did some more research on the leg kickout rule. I think it comes down to whether the leg kick was intentional or part of the natural shooting motion. Here’s 2 examples:

A very similar call on Lowry:

Here is an intentional leg kick by Wade that should have been called offensive foul:

Since it’s purely subjective, I guess the ref could think that Lin’s form (with one leg kick) was not natural. Of course, we know as fans that that is Lin’s shooting form.

but it’s not even good for signature. the surface is wavy!

Dallas assistant was hugging Lin. Parsons and Lin were just joking around and all smiles that’s what best friends do they make fun of each other in a friendly way!

Once again, it’s the Lakers defense that is their downfall. Like I predicted before the game, no Laker would be able to stop Dirk, who shot 80% fg. The only reason he didn’t have 25+ pts was because he only played 21 mins!

Lakers had 118 pts/100pos, 52% fg, 39% 3pt. 118 off rating would be #2 in the league (if that were their season avg).

Compare to allowing 156 (!!!) pts/100pos, 62% fg, 51% 3pt. DAL had 54 pts in the paint.

Add in Clarkson too his 3 pointers are very consistent and smooth too so long as he’s not forcing them. Clarkson should be the one leading the 2nd unit not Price that guy seriously shouldn’t even be playing in the NBA with 0 contribution! If Lin played like that he would’ve been out of the league already!

Lol, I know. It was an attempt at humor and/or fake controversy. Not too much going on in the vid so I decided to spice it up a bit with a different “perspective”. 🙂

Didn’t watch the game tonight, glad to see lin did well. I saw somebody posted that lin/kobe played well together. Can you give me more specifics? BTW I saw that Price played too many minutes. My theory on that is that Scott is trying to get a last ditch effort for them to keep Price and Mitch/FO have already made their decision not to keep Price. I also think that the FO/Mitch might be a little PO that Clarkson is not getting playing time because of Scott’s agenda to push Price.

I notice in the Fan Cam after the game, lin was getting a lot of love from the Dallas assistant coaches.

Someone pushing the issue, I’m guessing BS behind this BS.

Not as upset about this one as the LeAndre Jordan no-call, that one cost the Lakers the WIN.

Yep that is definitely BS work!!!!!!!!!!

kevin ding is on point

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2272185-kevin-ding-byron-scott-has-created-an-unhealthy-relationship-with-kobe-bryant

Got the hang of it, THANKS!

This is the only time I hope Kobe turns on someone.

Well, sad that BS isn’t listening and TWC continues to push his agenda.

You get a good feel if you watch highlights. Kobe screening for Lin. Lin finding kibe. If you note k was 0 for 8ish, Lin was the one who got him going.

Thanks:)

I think LA will have a lot of difficulty guarding teams that shoot the 3 ball well. Kobe is just slightly too slow and that gives enough time for a good shot by any 3 point marksman. Lin is the only good perimeter defender but his not-so-great wingspan makes it difficult to really shut down a good shooter. Wes is a very mediocre defender and has not justified his starting because his offense is so bad. Good team defence can probably help but Boozer and Hill are not able to execute well enough.

The lack of a true rim protector also means the perimeter defenders have to respect the triple threat. Barring personnel change, I think they will really struggle against teams like the Mavericks, Spurs and Golden State. Then again everyone struggles against these teams. Lakers just look worse.

Applause to the FO if this turns out to be the case.

That’s right. JLin just played what he normally did but this game he was able to make it. He used various ways to get the scores. High bb iq in reading what Mavs gave him and he did play well. Other players weren’t ready to play.

Glad that more and more people called BS out now.

Even haters find it hard to justify Price over Lin, the stats are like day and night.

To BS, Price is the “defensive” expert just like PB. Somehow Price doesn’t deliver. That was why weeks ago I called out BS = M & M in R.

Yep, the main problem with this Lakers squad is the lack of a rim protector. Hill just isn’t that good of a rim protector, they need to trade for someone who can clog the lane if they want any chance of being decent this year. It would also help if he can actually roll to the basket and be aggressive in the paint offensively, well moreso than Hill.

Apparently Price is his former player from his coaching. He is the one who brings in Price. Maybe Price isn’t as good as he remembers but his memory is still stuck from the past. hahahahaha. Too many maybes but no matter what excuses he has, he needs to stay at present. Feel that coach should know the strengths of his players and brings the max out from that player rather than makes the players into system that don’t fit their strengths. JLin is exceptional in that sense because he has high bb iq, he is a quick learner and adjusts quickly. But not all players are like that. I don’t know. BS’ coaching ability maybe just a slight higher that HOF M but not much.

How many free throws. In games where players score a lot they often get a good amount of FTs.

The problem this season is the Lakers (especially Kobe) are not passing Jeremy the ball at the 3 point line even though he’s wide open.

The Mavs crushed the Lakers. The Lakers beat Houston. One reason why – movement.

Carlyle said during the game last night that the Lakers had trouble defending movement. So true. The Mavs blew away the Lakers on great ball movement and great off-the ball player movement. Got so many good looks and easy lay-ups (Chandler Parsons).

The Lakers’ defense were able to hold Houston to 92 points because of Houston’s lack of movement in their offense – Lots of iso’s, lots of standing around.

I’m not sure the Lakers can fix their defense against athletic teams that move the ball and players well (Spurs, Mavs, GSW). They’re too slow, too unathletic, too lazy (Kobe). Laziness can be fixed – athleticism cannot.

It’s no coincidence that the three Lakers wins (Charlotte, Atlanta, Houston) came against teams that don’t really feature movement on offense.

Against Denver, I think they’re a transition team and fairly athletic. If there’s a lot of movement in their offense, it could be another long night for the Laker defense. For the Lakers to win, they’ll have to outscore Denver.

the lack of movement can work if we slow the other team down. like memphis. thats where slow teams have an advantage they are better at up and downs. don’t rely on the three too much

Good point. And the Lakers played pretty well against Memphis, for at least three quarters anyway.

Lakers could beat Rox bc no D12 & TJ plus THANKS To Harden didn’t score more than 2 or 4 in 1st half… Lakers thought Johnson guarded him well?! NO, Harden started to get his points in 2nd half… But true, that TO to the end did the magic so Lakers won. It’s not Lakers is better than Rox…..NO… it’s only they got lucky to win that one.

Got this from the other side… what’s going on w this? Looks like Scott was going to put Lin in bench for this one but somehow no…?!

OK so I am playing around with my new video capture stuff… two new ones:
I changed this one a bit… found some interesting video that makes it even more egregious of a call.
lal vs hou bad call on Jlin http://youtu.be/5dTtSL3mqGk

Nothing wrong with JLin but everything wrong with BS:-)

LOL Another PR stunt from M. REALLY SICK GM!!!!!
https://twitter.com/Lindigo17/status/536165032124370944

You went to Sun’s game, right? Did you get this playbill book? How come I never got one when I was in GSW game? I think this probably did it before the road game started it… Just like that reporter said Scott was planning to send Lin to bench.. maybe Tops are not agree? That’s why Lin still started for all the road games even last night. Scott sure wants to use Lin’s bad Rox game to make him a bench.

But Scott can’t use that Rox game against lin to bench him. Price is just terrible. Scott is just trying to protect his decision about having Mitch sign Price. I am sure Mitch/FO taking a hard look at Scott now because Scott told them he could control Kobe and he hasn’t. Kobe should just how old he looked last night going up against younger guards.

Jeremy Lin has his own star in the sky

http://www.dramafever.com/news/jeremy-lin-has-his-own-star-in-the-sky/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

What do you think about this video from last night’s game highlights from TWC? Not a word on Lin & Boozer?!

http://www.twcsportsnet.com/lakers/videos/20141121/lal-vs-mavericks-game-highlights-november-21-2014

I don’t know what it means, I guess we will find out soon.

They might be trying to do damage control because of that players guide in Dallas that had price starting and it got leaked.

Apparently they did. Ido called them out for saying JLin was inconsistent or something like that. This was what happened. I couldn’t find Ido’s tweet.
https://twitter.com/coachdavemiller/status/535989881898401792

Clown is the exact word in my mind.

They are just like clown.. smh!

The first one on JLin was good I thought when JLin first traded to Lakers. But then soon I realized how biased DM was and I stopped watching any of his stuffs. Sure glad that I don’t have to watch it at all.

I don’t think so. They can’t justify moving lin to the bench the way Price is playing. Kobe is wearing down slowly but surely. I tell you if they move Price to the starting lineup LA fans are going to have a field day. I still think this is about that Dallas play schedule above, where they had price as a probable starter. I think this is all about damage control. I bet TCW Sports network printed up the book on Scott’s word.

I agree it’s Scott’s idea bc that’s what he had in mind for long time… smh! But since Lin did start last night so FO sure not agree on this.

But Lin is off the ball now.. He only took 11 shots last night it’s not like he took more than 15 per game? Well, Kobe is not going to play well w this long min per game. So sooner or later they will need Lin or L all the way then…

Wrong, twc content controlled by lakers themselves

No… What’s Fisher looks like? But when Lin played bad they trash him too?!

@joyce Base on what I’ve seen so far if Lakers are continuing to be struggled and getting blown out, BS will move the rosters and Price is top of BS’s list. TWC played fan’s message saying Lin’s no true pg and last night player guide are evident of what their intention. Remember TWC has been very good partner with BS.

I don’t have the energy to explain. Fisher plays like Beverly but with real defense and better 3 point shooting. In half court fisher never dribbles and only pass to Kobe. Fisher only shoots wide open 3 on passes but was excellent at making them. Fisher never pick and roll, create own shot, or initiate offense. He just space the floor for8 ppg

I agree but lakers have control over their product. If they want Lin to be a star, twc dissing Lin is not ok.

If twc continue to diss Lin, it means lakers are ok with it and don’t want Lin long term

Twc has a hater agenda against Lin. I’m wondering where it comes from and if lakers brass is sanctioning it. We will know better a few months down the road

So worthy “apologizes” and says Lin a pg. 2 day later they say Lin not a pg on air lol. #agenda

I will take the wait and see approach.Scott also worked at TCW Sportsnetwork, so I think there is some cronyism going on. I think they are also trying to cover for Scott because he is really a bad coach and has made some bad decisions. Also it was that playbook that was released in Dallas that had Price as a probable starter. I think they are trying to do damage control with that also. Kobe is becoming an embarrassment to the team. He took a 34 foot shot with six minutes left in the game…why…kobe is out of control and he knows it. Scott is doing nothing to help him.

Yes we don’t know. I just know someone up in the food chain on the lakers is anti Lin. But not sure how high it goes. As long as Mitch and Jim are pro Lin, lin is fine. #Gal mekel

Your post is spot on! Yes we wait and see

Wouldn’t a player guide info come from Jim or Jeanie bus’s dept ?

Sure, I guess. So what is up with her if she is behind this. She herself aid she had no knowledge of basketball.

I do agree Scott is completely lost. In his defense, this is a thankless coaching gig. I can’t imagine any coach succeeding to be honest.

Scott trying to cover up his non coaching and poor decisions as a coach. He got them to sign on Price, and now he is just a bust.

They hired him to control kobe. Scott is the one who said they consulted him every step of the way picking the team.

flag you! Troll.

Read the latimes articles and Wikipedia before you think your thought please

Also, it was a Dallas play guide that was printed, not Laker. Play guide was from Dallas featuring Dallas events. The starting line up information came from Scott.

Really, terrible? Why? Games of 10, 9, 7 and 6 assists aren’t terrible and Lin gets guys the ball and sometimes they don’t make the shot therefore no assist.

http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/202391/gamelogs/

I think so too. Bc that playbill book was from TWC & I am sure it’s printed before the road game.. they couldn’t do that on TX just before the game. It’s all Scott’s idea. But I check Lakers tweet, they do like what Lin did last night. Plus Lakers tried out new PGs, don’t think it’s to replace Lin? more to replace Price.

I don’t think so. They want him to have Fisher’s attitude but they know Lin’s game is totally different. I think they want Lin going to the hole and moving off ball, I don’t think they want him to play like Fisher.

the system and player would make any pg struggle to play pg. all the assist are hard passes and high risk. very few three point or transition assist available

I would say 2 games, he had 9 assists versus Clippers and 10 assists versus the Hawks, I wouldn’t call either of those terrible.

His 7 assist and 6 assist games against the Hornets and GSW were respectible and also not terrible.

Aside from that, I think Jeremy does need to buff up his assist to at least 6, preferably 7-8 a game. That would put him in contention among the good starting point guards in the league. Part of the reason is he’s making good passes but his teammates are not converting. Wes missed a basket right at the rim with no one in front of him, Davis missed 2 right at the rim (which is uncharacteristic of him), Boozer has missed a ton of passes.

Kobe and Price have also been playing point even with Lin on the floor.

So far, I think Lin has been passing quite well but teammates have just not been hitting some of his passes. I think it will normalize to about 5-6. Hopefully more.

I have no clue what is going on. If they cut price and bring in mekel, I know lakers have lins back and so will Scott. The mekel signing will signal so much

Maybe if they keep losing Scott will step down and assistant coach Mark Madsen will take over. He’s been a long time Jeremy Lin supporter, worked under D’Antoni so knows how to play that way.

Hope this is linked. This is interesting, what TWC is doing. Is this a demonstration of how good Mav’s offense is, or a demonstration of how bad the Lakers defensive system is?

Also i realized that the it was a Dallas schedule book, not laker. Laker starting line up information came from Scott.

The low rate of assists also can be attributed to the prevalence of pick and pop plays. Passing to the open man for a jumper, no matter how open it is, is a lower percentage shot than if the big man rolls to the rim.

So, lots of potential assists inevitably get blown by missed jumpers by Hill and Boozer in particular.

Hill especially does not roll to the rim enough.

You should create a database/web posting of names of all the refs making these bad calls and the video clips. I can’t make out the number of that ref right at the sideline but probably should be apparent from other videos of the game. Lin fans could tweet the link if we notice repeat offenders. If refs know Lin fans are cataloging and posting examples of these bad calls they may think twice about it. Now refs operate kind of in anonymity because nobody keeps track of the refs much.

The officals for the Rockets game were:

Officials: #17 Joe Crawford, #47 Bennie Adams, #73 Tre Maddox

It’s listed at the bottom of the box score:

That is what I think too.

Will definitely pray for him, and have a safe and wonderful trip:)

Wow, have fun time and a safe flight.

Give us some firsthand observations from the games please!

Ya! Have fun & do give us the game reports.. LOL!

Even if mark was crazy enough to bench Kobe or control him, Kobe would full on rebell

Be careful jw, alaingrvis might call you a troll hater.

Scary

I was thinking perhaps that diss at Lin by TCW was because perhaps FO has already hired one of the PG’ s they worked out, and they are waiting until the team comes home to announce. That was TCW show of support of Scott…farfetched I know..LOL

Scott doesn’t need to be desperate. He just needs to keep it simple and do the obvious. First it is obvious The team is not smart.
1) Scrap the Princeton offense. Do simple basketball sets. PNR, post up, off screens
2) Start Davis and limit Kobe minutes because he needs the rest and hogs the ball too much.
3) bench whoever is not playing defense, which would never be jeremy because he always plays both sides of the floor
4) anything else that seems simple that you guys could think of.

Baby steps to just play together. That’s the main issue. The team doesn’t play together because most guys don’t know how or are too lazy. They need to keep it simple and benched for laziness.

So Lakers plan to trade Lin?!

I have seen more of these than when Asik fumbled.

no, price

lol trade price no no release price

LOL, TCW was downright mean to Lin last night. Didn’t show any of his highlights, just showed get a shot, and then showed nick and the bench. Then they showed how Dallas offense was on fire, I think it was a knock on lin ,because the showed JJ berara, and monty ellis hitting shots and think lin might have been guarding them at one time

adjust in-game by not letting failed plans rule the day. It seems he let’s them play through minutes where the score is out of range, and that gives Kobe more fuel to be crazy with ISO. If they stay within 7, team unified comebacks are possible. At least a TO.

But you know what? Price did a post game interview to talk about D last night?! I just check Baxter Holmes & Mike Bresnahan’s articles no mention one word about Lin from Last night’s game?! Even MM’s tweet didn’t say one word on Lin. Just like TWC?! Only Mike Trudell did?! So weird? Just like Lin didn’t play for the game vs Mav?!

Ya! They did it on purpose even they didn’t say the name… Price did so poorly on JJ Berara all night… So Scott did this to show FO how poor Lin’s D will hurt the team?! Why no news on these tried out PGs?

Look at this makes me feel happy…

https://twitter.com/Librafree/status/536071402760048641

there seems to be no team for Lin in the NBA. But I feel his time is coming even if it’s not eventually with the Lakers.

But Price did bad on D too?!

Lin is in Tiger Tank mode when there is a minefield. You are right, those who set mines for him know only one thing … resistance is futile.

Question. what do you mean by the last if then ? seems inconsistent with your buildup, but I might be reading wrong.

time will tell.

Rose: One basketball question. I’m doing a profile of Jeremy Lin. What do you think of Jeremy Lin?

Cuban: The Mavs were the first team to sign him as a free agent, and we loved him. He’s a kid that was fearless. He was obviously smart having got into Harvard. He was a lot more athletic than people expected. We really looked at him as a potential as another Steve Nash. We wanted to sign for summer league, wanted to sign him to a contract for the Mavs, but he wanted to go play close to home and he grew up in the Bay Area so he went to sign with the Golden State Warriors and the rest is history.

Rose: Can he be another Steve Nash?

Cuban: Yeah, he absolutely can. He’s that good. He’s got that type of talent. But, part of what made Steve Nash great, when Nash went from the Mavericks to the Suns and became MVP, it was a system that he just excelled at. So, Jeremy has got to play in the right environment with the right players and he can be a star.

If lakers supports lin fully to be a all star player, I hope lin stay in LA. If they dont, I hope lin gets trade to Mavs.

We worry too much about lin’s future in the league. I Don’t. He doesn’t need the money or fame. He lives for a higher purpose. Playing the game is his passion. Someone will take him off bench somewhere just for his gaudy numbers 48/43/90 at a discount. With injuries being a constant in the pros, Lin will have another perfect storm somewhere. What really matters to lin is that he lays the game the right way.

It must annoy the people with power so much that they can’t threaten him or silence him. No matter how badly they treat Lin, they have to grudgingly pay tributes to him to save face.

If lakers control what twc says, I doubt they review what is going to be said and approve it before airing so we will have to see what happens after other games. They also look like fools when they ride on young and kobe and have been hyping up them as a backcourt the past two games and they play the way they did yesterday.

10/25/2012

yet you just insulted me. Go figure.

not sure but phil seemed to win i agree

Lin was definitely in attack mode against Dallas. Here is the concern for me:

Jameer Nelson is a horrible defender. He’s easy for LIn to attack.

I saw Dirk Nowitzski as the hedger on Pick and Roll. Of course Lin will go off on Dirk!

My point is Lin played great and was truly in attack mode, but I need to see him do this against Beverly and the supposedly “great defensive” teams.

Torching Jameer and Dirk is something Lin should be able to do with his eyes closed.

When Lin can play like this against some elite long athletes and defensive teams, I will be way more comforted.

Still the attack mindset was progress.

Cuban even commented on jerseygate saying they wouldn’t do that.

He seemed good with rocket assistants too. Laughing and joking around at halftime.

The Carlisle’s system is very similar to MDA. PNRs and PNPs, sharing the ball, fast pace. With Parsons, Chandler running the floor, Lin would be a beast. We can only dream.

I think what Cuban said still applies today:

But, part of what made Steve Nash great, when Nash went from the Mavericks to the Suns and became MVP, it was a system that he just excelled at. So, Jeremy has got to play in the right environment with the right players and he can be a star.

Cuban is very smart to find the secret of success. Jeremy needs to find in the right environment (system) with the right players next year. LA with Kobe was not the right system for Nash so Jeremy might need to find a different system next year. Kobe is still way too dominant to let Jeremy’s full potential to unleashed.

http://mavsblog.dallasnews.com/2012/10/11101.html/

[video starts at 3:28]

Cuban would definitely have personal satisfaction knocking Morey system out of the playoff!

Carlisle would be the 2nd best coach after MDA I think to utilize Lin to the fullest.

by the Assist coach tackle hug on the fan cam, I’d say Lin/Mav will be talking. I know GSW and Lin talked before GSW got impatient and picked up LS. How’d that work out for GSW … see box scores. Doesn’t matter anyway, given how good GSW is without Lin. Their depth with bigs and PF is in need. Speights I love, but he’s not the guy in tough campaign. So, LAL is fine. Just gotta make it work for Lin past this year’s testing stage.

see above I believe that covers what you mean. You lazy bro … lol. Actually, I think you give props that people see what you see, which is a good thing most times.

I agree on ” right environment w right players… ” I thought Lakers will be great for Lin but now w Scott being so bad in coaching plus he thinks Price can start over Lin just made me feel Lakers maybe not be the best place for Lin after all. Bc Scott will stay in Lakers for at least 4 years from now on until they really fired him before that… not good idea.

what i meant was he didn’t know where and when to shoot or pass verses the rox. thats because he isn’t used to the system yet. he was also confused by the trap and didn’t know where to go. also hill didn’t know o drive to the open spot and kobe was playing iso which kept him off

I don’t think he was confused at all. You can’t take his interview or testimonial rhetoric infer to his on court situation. You have to watch his game in the court. Off court, he is playing very different games and using very different modes.

https://twitter.com/linspiredinca/status/536252073726074880

I personally want to see Lin stay for the entire season. But either way, Lin will be fine

I am giving @alaingrvis:disqus and @GoodDayLA:disqus time to sort this out by themselves. There will be a point where we need to double team them….LOL

I am happy too. But who decides the intro order? Lakers or Mav?

Dallas knows who is the best player on the Lakers. Hopefully they know it enough to trade for him by the deadline or pick him up next year in free agency. Tyson and Chandler probably telling FO he’s for real. Maybe by February Lakers will be in full tank mode going for the bottom 5 lottery and looking to clear the books for a free agency run and will trade Lin to the Mavericks.

I was hoping JLin could be the new face of the Lakers franchise but not in this Byron Scott system. He could have been if it was a D’Antoni system. Too bad, it seemed like destiny for him to come to the Lakers, the media, the TV, the exposure, the connection with Asia. Only way I see that happening now is either
1) Scott gets fired and whoever takes over can control Kobe,
2) Kobe has to sit out several games and Linsanity 2.0 breaks out.
3) Kobe has an epiphany and starts playing team ball.

I created an article to analyze the importance of 50-40-90 Elite Club for Jeremy Lin this season to help him be an NBA star. And also his projected number this season.

IMO that’s one of the most important things in this final year of his contract so there will be multiple teams who want to build around him as a star.

Also it was reported on twitter that LA is not making any moves to change roster after the workouts

well, lol, I was more interested in you BBIQ response. I cannot trust your leadership skillz just yet ha ha.

That practice sure it’s boring… no one wants to come… LOL!

That would just be crazy unstoppable except who will be handling the ball or will Ellis and Lin take turns?

Wait what? Why? Price needed to be waived and they need a another PG!

lol

If Scott tried to push Price as team D specialist then he will stay in the team no matter what… smh!

Could you post the tweet?

So who made the decision hiring BS? Jim Buss and Mitch? I guess it all turned out as great as Kobe still doing his things. It ended up with the wrong coach. BS kept emphazing on defense but they kept losing games with blown-out. Who is to blame? Kobe? No, it is on the coach with old school thinking. Talk about toughness and short leash, don’t see one from last game. Why Davis played only 12 minutes? Why Pirce kept getting starter minutes? Why Boozer and Hill (not to mention Kobe) were still on long leash even if they played poorly on defense? Well, at least Hill got some offensive rebounds. 13 games still no rotation change.

Lakers has 3 years to make this team work but with BS as coach and Kobe being Kobe, 2 years are deemed to waste. And no star will come to LA to play with Kobe. Then how can Lakers turn it around at year 3 when Kobe retire (if he really wants to)?

A wrong move on coach made this 3 years mid-term plan to get into playoff seemed useless. It is only 13 games into first of 3 seasons, and we fans alerady smell the doom. Lakers FO made the wrong bet on the coach.

Can Lakers FO stop the bleeding? BS is a sunk cost. Think about mid term and long term. BS is not your choice.

Thanks Rick

His problem is not the other team but the opponents on his own team.

The team is probably going go with B.S. for the full year, because they know they just don’t have the personnel.

But, I wouldn’t be surprised if Byron Scott isn’t fired before his contract is up.

LEGGO PACQUIAO!

Don’t worry for now bro. Lin is playing great by the game tape and false narratives aside, you can also bank on every joint play he has with kobe. Kobe expects a high standard and bee would not set screens for someone he does not trust.

LOL Yep this startergate will continue as long as BS’s infatuation on Price continues and buy in R’s false narrative of JLin’s defense. My view on BS continues way down to the drain and out to the sea.

https://twitter.com/LakersTV/status/536289610444181504

The thread can also record all the progress we make.

He really said that? That Hill and Boozer are the two main culprits on the defensive end??? Wow, surprised to see him call those guys out by name.

Soooo this is where everyone migrated to. Nice to see some familiar names.

No Lin? On TWC Mon program… they called out Lin’s name…

Good point about fear and it’s relationship to action. I agree, JLin could but doesn’t use fear to motivate himself.

He uses faith.

Lin is by the side shooting free throws. 😉

Saw it too. He’s there. Maybe he just didn’t scrimmage or something.

Faith = upside, and people by into faith.

Glad you found Jlinportal , Je Ballew. Always love to read what you have to say.

Welcome! Feel free to look around. Please read website rules http://www.jlinportal.com/website-rules-must-read/

Great idea! We can create a Table of Content to record Lin’s blatantly unfair foul calls and make it a Sticky Post.

welcome, @deesee5:disqus! :>

make yourself comfortable as you say hi to old friends

HI

Probably just noise to scare Scott into playing more Lin.

what’s the link to JLin’s chinese FB?

Kobe has not practiced in years. Scott has no control on this team

Yes I I know but against houstn, Lin was struggling. Funny thing is he had his way against Dallas but team was blown out

Is it this one? https://zh-tw.facebook.com/jlin888

I’m not in Taiwan and I can still access so not sure what’s going on. I liked his page and still get the posts on my timeline.

Can you post the link then?

Mayweather is too chicken to fight Pacman. I’m afraid we will never see that fight. 🙁

This one?

Yes, just click Flag as Inappropriate. Let the mods take care of it.

Yup that one! Thanks.

lol

Lots of contact in this Dal/Hou game… looks like Hou will take this one

Also, Tim MacMahon (ESPN, Dallas) reported that James Harden was asked how Trevor Ariza had “changed the dynamic” in Houston and said : “His leadership, his defensive abilities, his shot-making — all three of those things are something that we were lacking last year.” In contrast, Harden was complimentary about Jeremy in recent remarks, saying : “I give him credit, whatever team he’s on, he’s focused on playing his role to the best of his abilities. There’s no difference this year.” So, it appears Jeremy left Houston on better terms.

See : http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2014/11/harden-jeremy-lin-handles-criticism-like-a-warrior/#28601101=0

They only do this to Lin because they still need money from China market! PR move nothing else.
Guess M&M won’t forgive their beloved son. lol

Knicks turn to beat up on the 76ers

They almost beat Grizzlies on their court last time around so maybe they’ll get a win at home? I wonder if Kobe ballhogs more at home than on the road.

Somebody said he was shooting 3’s in the background on Scott’s video today, so i think he will be game ready tomorrow.

LOL! I didn’t expect them to be more mad at Parsons.

hm, maybe we don’t need to do so?
Personally, I don’t think the ref calls go back and forth. I just saw Duncan got a foul in crunch time but barely touching his guy.
But superstars do get more calls.

Boos as the Rockets play their Chandler Parsons tribute video.— Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) November 23, 2014

Come on Mavs….Go Mavs>>

Here are Blaiyan’s highlights for the Lakers – Rockets game. They just got uploaded :

Parsons about to get kicked out of the game!

Darn 🙁

He grabbed him on the shoulders not head. Besides Jeremy has gotten worse and not even get a foul call. D Jordan comes to mind.

Carlisle rolls with Barea closing out the game instead of Nelson. Dallas up by 5 with just over a minute left. Rox has 26 points in 2nd half!

Lin’s offensive foul made the front page of Reddit NBA channel (over 1300 upvotes). Comments were unanimous that that was not an offensive foul because it was part of his normal shooting motion, not an intentional kickout to draw a foul or gain separation. Should have been a non-call, bucket counts.

As I predicted, Parsons got booed. This shows that the applause Lin received was not just token applause.

Let’s go hunt some golden Nuggets, JLin!

Rockets so lucky…

Those last two “fouls” on Harden so bogus. Harden stumbling to basket throws his arms into defender standing next to him and gets foul. Then the other one when Parson stops his drive to the hoop, Harden lowers his shoulder into Parsons’ chest and draws blocking foul, smh.

I sometimes have weird thoughts. Is that possible Byron Scott uses Ronnie Price to threaten or bargain with Mitch Kupchak? If you don’t give me the players I wanted, I am going show the whole world we are tanking!

I really think Lin learned a lot more circus drama than basketball in NBA. The fun part of Linsanity seems to be buried in the NBA history forever.

Different circumstances though. Lin had no choice in leaving, but Chandler did and bolted. Plus he was home grown. Hence the boos.

Different circumstances though. Lin had no choice in leaving, but Parsons did and bolted. Plus he was home grown. Hence the boos.

True, but I think it’s still worth noting, especially the ones that normally would be flagrant for others but for some reason not for Lin. I don’t know, I feel Lin always gets bad calls that affect the momentum of a scoring run.

junkyard-dog doing his mugging routine at the end

Since when they change the players jersey from short pant to long pant? And tie pant to loose pant? Why? I say they are more stylish in the old times. If they change back to this style again I will try to go to games as more as possible! Hahahaha

I guess they wanted to boo him for 1st half then since at that time Rox won big so gave him the tribute in 3Q… I don’t think Harden likes CP at all.. did not see them hug or talk to each other.

you didn’t find one with the capacity to love.

yes, there were a few. I had to count asts as 2pts to get to the closest sum to 18/5 :]
Tough decision as the judge, haha..

Yeah, thats what I’m worried as well, all the 4 on the floor, need to step-up and show Kobe that they can do it, and trust them

Maybe they don’t consider just standing and shooting practice. I mean it’s not like he was seen running around or anything.

I don’t think you see the same game as I do.

yes, there is a Sticky Post on how to do that.
I’ll send the step-by-step instruction tomorrow :>
