Behind the locker room doors before and after Lin?s game-winning shot against the Raptors | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports

great read!

Did anyone see the interview when Kobe was asked if he knew who Lin was, and he was like "Yeah, Ive heard of him, what does he do?" -

I bet he knows now.

I am also joining this Jeremy Lin bandwagon!

It should be interesting to see him go up against the Miami Heat on the 23rd and they should have Anthony by then as well.

nmjaxx9 · 02-16-2012, 12:54 PM

Yes interesting indeed, the way Lin has been playing it should be a good match up. That is if Melo isnt a ball hog and lets Lin get offensive opportunities.

However, I still think the Heat have a better chance, they took out the Knicks last time with a pure dunk-3 point shootout blowout. Lin is only gonna create more opportunities, but I think if they put Haslem, or even any of the two rookies on him, they should be able to guard him. Plus Wade and Lebron on attack mode is too devastating. They aren't the highest shooting % in the league for no reason.

Haslem isn't a PG, Lin will blow by him all night if they try that.

Yeah but if they arent playing man to man and Lin was to come into the paint hes gonna get rejected by either him or anthony. **** even Wade would send his ball back.

You may want to think before you talk lol. Lin is a lot quicker than you think and has no problem getting to the basket.

Uhh, speed doesnt matter when you are driving to the rim dude, hes scrawny haslem, wade, and anothony are much bigger than him, unless hes shooting the ball hes GONNA get rejected.

02-17-2012, 10:56 AM

Have you not watched? He's gone right around bigger guys under the basket. And a lot of times he dishes it back out to the 3pt line rather than go for a layup anyways. Miami will be on their heels with him. Trust me on this one

nmjaxx9 · 02-17-2012, 11:02 AM

Yeah big guys that arent quick on their feet....you have Lebron Wade Anthony Haslem, all big guys who are quick on their feet, and even if they bring Curry in Lin is gonna have it hard driving the ball.

His looks were free looks on most of his runs, thats why he was driving the hoop, hes not gonna find it that easy to drive against Miami and thats fact.
