Linsanity

Recommended Posts

It looks like the NBA has a rising new star. I only wish Michael Jordan could have sign him, the Bobcats need more publicity, not to mention I believe Jeremy Lin will be a great player. Some are comparing Linsanity to Tebowmania.:D This has been a great year for sports.

Except I only expect Linsanity to have a 1 week run... Don't know I would call him a rising star... You have to be way more consistent over a much longer period than 3 games vs sub par talent... plus the reason he got cut was his lack of defense. He also needs to dominate the ball so when Melo and Amare comes back he will regress statistically. He reminds me move of like a Dragic... a Pg who can come off the bench and give you some good energy while your starters are down.

I remember my freshman year when Lin and his Harvard team came up to Boone and lost by 22 in a game where he was a complete non-factor. Needless to say, I don't buy the hype, and I believe the only reason he is being hyped right now is because he is playing in New York, and we all know how biased ESPN is towards their coverage of major market teams, no matter how good or bad they are.

Man, imagine the Knicks once they get all their guys back. A starting line-up with Stoudemire, Anthony, Lin, and Chandler!?! One more player, and they will have the NBA's first fab five.:D (Haha, lets see if they can overcome the Heat to be the best team in the east)

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
