I agree.

Lin looks like the 2nd best player on the team. There's no reason not to start him and play him 36 minutes per game.


I wonder if he can play 36 minutes per game...stamina problem.

Kobe was amazing tonight. In 2nd half that looked like top 5 player to me.

His crossover is sooo good that he breaks his own ankles!


LOL. Thanks R.

Hopefully those ankles hold up. Sucks that Lin lost valuable training camp time.


Yes ...

“I love playing with J-Lin,” Davis said. “He’s a pick-and-roll guy. That’s what he wants to do. He gets to the lane. I’m just trying to get him open, and he can take the jump shot or he can find me at the rim.”

“Jeremy Lin makes a big difference,” Kobe Bryant said. “He creates shots for others. We got somebody else that can penetrate and make plays for others, put pressure on the defense. It’s a really big difference.”


The bolded part is funny because in reality, Lin is the only active guard on the Lakers that can actually penetrate. Kobe himself has depended on his jumpshot all preseason and not really drove to the basket at all.

That game was really fun to watch. It was cool to see Kobe close out that game. But the Lakers will have to get better shots in the 4th. Theses very deep turnarounds are low %age shots even for Kobe. Still it was nice to watch.

The evolution of Lin:

“I’m trying to be a better defender, and I know I’ve gotten better. I know I’ve worked a lot on that this offseason,” he said. “So I think it’s maybe a style that refs haven’t really seen me play before in terms of being more aggressive and being more of an attacking defender. But I’d rather foul out now and try to slowly build a reputation as a defender who plays a certain way.”

That's an interesting quote from Lin in part because that's one of the more criticized parts of his game. I heard Byron say the exact same thing about the Lakers getting called for excessive amounts of fouls a few games ago. It's a good sign to see the coach and pg on the same page.

Its weird, even though Lin looks like he has subpar handles, if you give the ball to Lin good things will happen....

Two observations I got from the game is that when J-Lin plays under control he makes the game fun and the team better!

#2 Kobe is still the Black Mamba!

There is no doubt, getting Lin was a steal; we all know the only reason why the Rockets traded Lin to LA, was to create more cap-space ...because they thought they already had a great chance to sign Bosh.... we really got lucky with the Lin trade... if everything works out... he should be fortunate to be in some all-star games in the future.

Kobe will still be a 25-27PPG scorer... I mentioned that when no one believed me... but from everything I have seen.... that shouldn't be a problem.

Smart way of complaining about the reffing without getting slapped with a fine.

Right before that quote he made a point of saying he didn't want to get fined.

You just distilled Lin as a person. And described one of the major reasons why I've been following his career.

How many of us have turned our negatives into positives? Probably some of us some of the time. For Lin, every single negative aspect of his game that needs fixing are worked on - or at he tries to the best of his ability. And he always does this by taking the high road - always agreeing with the criticism and using it to push himself. I'll back anyone anywhere who has this attitude. At 26 I really hope he has a long run and retires a Laker.
