Love my man Lowry always encourage believe support Lin on the floor.. A true leader who can share the ball and motivate this team not like melo, harden and kobe . Also like coach give everybody opportunity in this game! Team like this will surely gets ring in no time!
Lowry is like the first player I've seen who passes to Lin as if he respects him as an NBA player and Lin is way more effective when they play off each other.
yeah... Kemba and Lin are good friends and they still are. I remember in one of the interview where he was asked which team did he have the best camaraderie with and Jeremy said it's Kemba and the Hornets. This was before he joined the Raptors, I hope it's Raptors now, lol.
Lowry understands what it's like to be an overlooked, underrated guard passed over by almost everyone else in the league. Toronto has built their organization around character guys and as such, Lin will fit in well. He has the opportunity to really provide meaningful minutes to his team in the playoffs.
The refs showed no respect to Lin all game. Kept getting called on weak fouls & barely got any calls in his favour. His defence is what we need when his offense is struggling, but he dropped another 3 today. He's coming along just fine. It's all mental confidence.
Remember the video compilation of him not getting the calls, some of which could've been n a flagrant on him. I don't want to accuse anyone, but damn sometimes I felt like it's hard to be Asian in the NBA.
@@nogamenolife1901 Well you know back in days when Yao was playing. Jazz players would literally step/stomp on Yao's toes so he can't jump to grab rebounds and would injury to quit the game. Never got anything from the ref or the league. Which is a big reason why he retire so young. So ya, it has been happening for a long long time.
Agreed to that point.. I see Lonzo plays D like Lin on D.. stays between man and the basketball, doesn't over commits on a play fake and has a deceptive jump and wingspan. Obviously Lin doesn't have LonZo's flash on certain big plays but Lin is just as intelligent and opponents need to respect his drives and his shot.
Yeah and he's the one always getting picked on and muscled out because he's a short asain guy. If anything they should be giving him calls. People love watching him. They do it for all the other nba favorites..
I remembered it was worse when he was on Charlotte. Look for highlights and you see people mugging him with no calls. He got cuts and bleeding and refs dont call it. Ridiculous
Rodzilla officiating can ruin the flow for a team to get momentum. Why can’t officiating be professional and consistent? Like rules and laws. Everybody treated equally
I guarantee the scouting report on J.Lin is to harass him aggressively whenever he has the ball bcuz the ref's will usually side with the defender giving them the benefit of doubt. I don't think there is a player in the NBA that gets hacked, pushed, slapped, scratched, tripped n etc on a regular basis more than J.Lin does, it's disgusting n appalling. Even the commentators where baffled by the ridiculous calls on J.Lin. I just want J.Lin to be treated fairly is that too much to ask for??
I don't think it's a specific Lin thing. It's more to do with home court refereeing against the away team. And teams double on Lin because he has a tendency to dribble into trouble and with a double team they think they can force a turn over.
Still working his way into the system. Glad to see his confidence wasn't shaken by the earlier shooting slump. He's got a chance to get a ring with this team. Hope his play during the final stretch of the season will earn him minutes in the playoffs. And, I hope he contributes meaningfully in the playoffs and isn't relegated to watching from the bench. His defense and desire look strong as ever. Keep on striving JLin! We are behind you all the way.
If you balled a long time, you will know that Lin is a type of a player that you need on your team. Not overrated egoistic people like kobe, melo,lebron
"Kyle [Lowry] takes great joy in Lin's success on the floor..." Carmelo: "Hey, I took great joy in Lin's success with me.... it's just that why does his success have to come at the expense of me holding the ball, dribbling the ball and shooting the ball? Why couldn't Lin just be happy cheering me on from the sidelines?"
i hope raptor is the number one contender.. make sure get a trophy for me this year, my homie jlin . everytime jlin goes to a different team, thas team is my favorite .
Kemba actually let off too many shots and was quite a ball hog. OK, let's let the stats speak for themselves. In 2013-2014 (HOU), Harden made 549/1205 FGA (in 73 games) while Lin made 295/662 FGA (in 71 games) In 2015-16 (CHA) Kemba made 568/1,331 FGA (in 81 games) while Lin made 300/728 FGA (in 78 games) Notice a pattern?
Forget Lin's offense, but the DEFENSE was more than AWESOME! He got it going when he made a layup and some free throws. Lin at times takes time to get going. I've watched him even before "Linsanity". The DEFENSE is 100 times better than what false analysis on him. Maybe not so good in the beginning, BUT the DEFENSE of Lin is and WILL STIFLE any team. BTW I counted like more than 5 steals or even more for the PROCUREMENT of such. The OFFENSE will come, BUT HIS DEFENSE is HERE & Stop the 3 pters. Only when you're in the zone. As I've said before, don't do the 3s especially when Lin just got in the game. 33 to 36% is the ave & worst for the ones not as good, and IF you're in the slump, forget it. Harvard grad? Go in there and those mid-range is better and quick layups even better. And LOWRY is a better player than Leonard. KLeonard is their ISO crap that is killing the TEAM share the ball concept. Melo, Iverson, Kobe, Le B James. Lin's Mindset is ALWAYS the problem. He needs to find a good guru and a nice recliner. And quit eating JUNK FOOD!
He gets easily flustered in pressured situations, then he either turns the ball over or falls down. No hate but he needs to step up and be more solid and reliable. The Raps will need Lin if they go deep into the playoffs
Wai Wah Chung dude im just talking bout the double teaming here 😂 -He was tripped in the first DT didnt get the call but Raptors called timeout -Second time he got out the DT with a pass to Lowry. ^ "Double team caused Turnover" where?
Tbh, number shouldn't be the priority. For example I made a good play and my teammates swings the ball and find the open man. Even though I didn't get the "assist", I'm still the one who made the play.
Assist numbers don't tell the whole story. Both Lin and Gasol move the ball very well, that contributes to finding opportunities and getting good shots (i.e. open looks). Plus, assists numbers depend on whether or not they can finish and this bench has struggled offensively, albeit not for this game.
Remember Lin just arrived a couple of weeks and then go to the game straightly. I don’t think they have more than 5 times practice but you see the chemistry is already there. Just need more time then this team will be unstoppable. Kawhi should stay and keep Lin + Gasol. The roster is unprecedentedly deep for raptors to champ.
