Not impressed with Lin's game tonight despite scoring 15 pts. Very poor FT shooting and dumb TOs, not one of his better nights imo. |
Thought his assists in the second half were excellent. |
He got decent minutes tonight and produced, good win for the team. Just want to see him minimize the bonehead plays (lazy entry passes) and improve on the FT shooting which has been horrible as of late.

| Good win, and for all the lin haters, ST eff up, a win is a win for the Lakers. You guys are the damned if he does good or damn him even more if does bad. |

Mixed bag game from Lin. Defensively he was very good, offensively he had too many bone-headed plays but I like that he got to the line. He just needs to get back his FT groove, not worried about that as he will. |

i thought he has like a 80% free throw percentage which isn't bad, he seems to miss at weird times but so do other lakers including Kobe. |

Tacos are for holding the other team under 100 right? |
I think if the Lakers score over 100 and keep the opponents under 100 |
I thought they took the scoring 100 part out of it because the Lakers were running up the score in the end. I remember Sasha taking a buzzer 3 in a win just so they could get 100 and it was really frowned upon. |

Don't forget his 4 steals and 2 blocks. |

Though his penetration in the second half yielded easy looks for the big, tip in opportunities and up the foul count against the Magic - which allowed us to keep the scoreboard ticking over(especially Black) with those extra free throws. |

I accept some TO's because I know that when he's playing more risky and on the edge it happens, but the rest of his game elevates at the same time. |
Don't disagree. This bench with new black is strong! Should be the new starters... or just more minutes. |

Yeah. It is a typical Lin game when he plays loose, other than the FTs. |

I can only remember one boneheaded play, but the other TOs were just lazy passes and lazy ball security. He needs to clean that up. |

i agree its amazing, he was brought in to come off the bench behind nash, is jerked around a lot which i'm sure causes the inconsistency and messes with his head and like most players does have faults but the constant negative talk about him amazes me. |

He started the season off great around 90%. Since then his FT % have eroded. Anyways, not a big deal we won. Hope to see Black get a lot more playing time with the bench now!  |

Lin definitely needs to improve his stamina... but his way to play the game is also one of the reasons why he can't sustain in the game more than 32 mins...
Lin had tired legs tonight due to the training-camp-like practice, which affected his FTs and TOs.

This isn't typical. He's normally a good FT shooter. |

He played more aggressive defense tonight. I'd still like to see him shoot on drives more than pass, that's where he gets a lot of TOs. Lin with a strong big is a thing of beauty, I hope Byron noticed that. |

C'mon, he's usually a very good FT shooter and his career stat proves that. He's just been off for the last few games. He ain't as bad as Rondo |
