Lin is a highly talented player and these sports analysts in this article are WAY off base passing judgement on Lin who was benched for a perennial 3ppg player (Price) and given less minutes than that scrub.
Folks, I don't know what is going on between the NBA and sports media, but let's be real here. Jeremy Lin is WAY better than he's being treated and I haven't read ANYONE on the internet trying to make the argument that Ronnie Price should get 28mins a game to Lin's 18mins a game that has been the recent distribution.
These "sports analysts" in this article call Lin inconsistent. Well, let's look at the following facts:
1. Lin's minutes are inconsistent. 2. Lin was benched in favor of a player who arguably isn't even NBA caliber and wouldn't start on ANY NBA team. (How does that happen when Lin is actually a capable starter at point guard?) 3. The Lakers (both in coaching scheme and players' play execution) aren't setting ANY screens for Lin so that he can generate scoring....and we all know Lin CAN SCORE.
The Lakers are obviously marginalizing Lin and if I didn't know any better, the Lakers coaches and teammates seem keen on ruining Lin's career. You simply can't look good as a point guard if your 'team' doesn't want you on the court playing for them, regardless of WHO you are.
Lin has the talent, but the league and the Lakers seem to not want an Asian 'star' player. For what ever reason you want to insert. The facts speak for themselves and the media in this article ought to be ashamed of themselves for not watching the games and not mentioning the amount of minutes and lack of team support in the offense that Lin is afforded.
