Only reason why asians wouldn't belong in the nba would be due to racism/prejudice. Not enough opportunities given to asians when in comes to sports like basketball and such in America. Lin literally led his team to win state in high school in California and still couldn't get scholarships for college. Showed everyone he could be a presence in college basketball with Harvard yet no teams drafted him.
I like how Coach Nurse is giving more time to Lin in 4Q when the game solidly in hand...to help build his confidence. I also like how Lowry and FVV are looking for Lin to get him involved in the attack. Really unselfish ball...they need this type of ball to go deep into the playoffs
As a toronto, raps fan, it's been nice to see Jeremy play in Toronto.. he's honestly been dealt with the best hand in his NBA career. Supporting teammates and coaching staff.. playoffs on the way. I dunno what's been going on mentally with him.. he plays well when it's garbage time.. against bench players. Similar situation last time.. it's def a mental game he has to overcome.
I think His mission & position is different at Raptors, he isnt a Point Guard again, your coach have plan to recruit him, his mission is changing Kawhi when Kawhi need take rest, Raptors have good PG, so Lin just need take the position and make many many many point to use 3 Point shoot or Driving when duet with Lowry as Assist.. but We know, something happen to his performance.. may be he is still studying his new teammate..
He IS coming off an injury that cost him an entire year, and probably some of his speed so it's more likely it's physical. But I concede, it could be mental. Years of being told to step aside for Harden, Kobe, Kemba could have made him passive. Proof in the pudding is that his better games (like CHA vs SA) tended to be when the aforementioned stars were out. Could also be systemic/learning the team (since Gasol also had better stats prior to the trade).
According to a youtube video posted yesterday, Lin suffered a back injury in January when he was with Atlanta and developed a hitch in his shooting form, and consequently his shooting has gone downhill. Prior to the injury, he was shooting nearly 40% from 3pt range on the season. He and his shooting coach need to figure this out and figure it out quick. th-cam.com/video/k93amGCj8yE/w-d-xo.html
He needs to have the mindset to take control even when vanvleet and Lowry are on the floor. Sometimes feels like he’s scared to overtake his position and thinks too much on the court while the twos are there.

Traey I live in Atlanta I like the hawks. Ain’t watch every game but even then his confidence hasn’t been where it needed to be. And I rock with Lin. Remember him and Gordon went down early and the first games of their season, same year.
After he hit the first two layups u can see he gained confidence, which led to the following 3 points. Perhaps his problem is confidence only, that his body has still got it.
Toronto is such a supportive team when a teammate is clearly struggling.....I really hope Lin can turn things around and give something back to this team in the playoffs.
its a blowout game. best to play him alot to beat the monkey off his back. that 3 point shot from the corner hitting the backboard was confidence deflating. i'm thinking lin is getting the yips from the 3 point line. as i said, lin is not a 3 point shooter or a catch and shoot 3 point shooter. his best game is pick and roll or drive to the basket and pass out to an open 3 point man. wish nurse would design a pick and roll plays when lin is in the game. as of right now, Lin isn't getting many minutes during playoff time unless an injury happens to the other guards. his defense is slightly above avg, but his offense has almost become a liability to offset all the defense work he does.
Lin has a strong mind of ball ownership for the team. He defences well and always disturbs the opponents from getting the ball. Lin needs more practices to build up confidence of scoring especially 3 pointers. His teammates have been encouraging him very well. Good team building gestures! Keep up the good spirit, Raptors!
if I was Lin and had the opportunity to be in the rotation for the playoffs, I'll do what ever possible to help the team getting that ring, even if I had to break my leg again, I'm breaking it on the way there.
I watched the whole game and think Jeremy is still struggling to fit into raptor. When he checked in 1st & 2nd half, Lowry, Vanvleet, Powell and Siakam were in the court(or some of them) , they were the main ball handlers. You can see Jeremy was just running and trying to get to an open position for shooting but he rarely got a chance. When it came the 4th quarter , he was the ball handler most of the time and other raptors were trying to play pick and roll with him. That's why he played a lot better, not because of garbage time.
Im not Raptors fans, but I feel thank you to Raptors for the support to Lin.. Thank you.. althought its not enough.. I believe it will progress tobe better and better
Really give credit to the open and accepting culture the Raptors have created. The coaching and GM really believe in OG, McCaw and Lin by giving them chance to develop even in games where they should have reduced minutes. The Raptors believed in Siakim's ability three years ago.. and now seeing Spicy P blossoming into one of the most improved players in 2018-2019 season. I like how the bench is so supportive whenever Lin makes his shots.. they know Lin is struggling to find his rhythm.

They brought him in for the playoffs. The time to jell with the team is now. Let him knock off the rust in the regular season games and let him shine in the playoffs. The Raptors might give him a new contract if the team goes deep and if he is a big contributor. If not he will be bouncing around to another team playing on a minimum contract or a one year rental.
Raptors got a big win but Lin’s been terrible ever since joining them. Yes, he had a decent 4th but that was against the last strings on the “Knicks” team.... hope he can get back on track so we all can still see him on an NBA team next yr.
Defense... You know what it is? U can't just say he's been terrible just for not being Harden scoring +50. The only "not so good" game was the previous to this one...
Uh defense means nothing when teams score 100+ points. Lin just has crap stats! At least meet the minimum and have some assist... he started 0-4 it’s now he starts every game
Relax they all know their roles and they are just working on improving from there. This ball club is a legit championship contender and getting stronger.
Jeremy hasn't played a full season for two years. I think his injuries, his age creeping up, and end of the season fatigue is wearing on him. Hope he gets going. Go Lin!
People usually just think about the players that got off during the playoffs and finals but all of these guys on the team made their mark during the regular season which gave the team the opportunity to be in a great situation come post season.
Yes I totally agreed with you. Everyone has the part to play. He may not involved in play off final (1 minute gameplay), but we can’t ignored the hard work by the players during g regular season
Lin is so focused on becoming a better defender that he forgot how to shoot. His shooting motion is so ugly unlike how he was with the Rockets and Knicks.
Point guards are not like Steph curry. Point guards main job is to control the ball, whether it means passing, dribbling or w/e. While scoring is another role, he isn't in a Forward position. His defense remains great, he has 10+ points nights, gets rebounds, but most importantly those assists help the team. he is a team player and he will retire as a under rated guard given how many PG there are. He is doing wayyyyy better than I thought. He's no Yao ming as a center scorer, but he helps his team a LOTTTTTT. As a 6-8 rotation player, I hope he stays with a great team like the raptors next season. You guys are so negative sometimes lol.
@Boris Bornakiss Yes, last 3,4 mins all bench players got score Patrick McCaw 3 points ,Malcolm Miller 5 points, Jodie Meeks 6 points and Chris Boucher 3 points .
his previous injury is still a nightmare to him, it's not 100% LIN now, not even 60%. he's afraid of attacking the rim now, poor guy. I don't really have much hope in his playoff, just hope he can be a good coach, so I can still see him for many years. Good luck, LIN!
He’s had some nice dishes to the three point line today, but I wish he passed more into the paint while he’s in the paint. Some easy high percentage baskets that boucher and serge would have. It’ll come with time as he develops more chemistry tho
Apparently Nurse was trying different combinations in each quarters. 1st and 2nd with the start lineup, Lin plays a shooting guard like OG. while in the 4th quarter he plays his favorite point guard position, just as in the Hawks and Linsanity period. He definitely needs to improve his 3 pointers though. last games' 0/5 was a bummer.
He killed the lizard in thier hahhaahahahahah hitting the widths of the back board but great 4th quarter JLin keep attacking the basket create some great dimes wowwwww
I still have hope for Lin to have one more linsanity surge .... right now he only does just ENOUGH. He needs to be a bit more physical on offense. I’m aware his coming off injury but it’s been enough games & his played enough minutes. His had several good games. It’s time to step up! You got it bro *flames emoji*
I liked how aggressive he was tonight. This is what he needs to do more of. Take it aggressively to the hole and make something happen. He's been taking too many threes trying to prove to himself that he's a good three point shooter. If he takes one or two a game that's fine but he really just has to play to his strengths and he'll be fine.
The open look 3 really stuns me by hitting the board... he should be in high pressure by not drilling the 3 for long time... he needs some pressure relieve....

chijxyooj87 chijxyooj87 Where's the excuse? An excuse would be saying "he had an off night" or "he's not playing confident" or "he's depressed" or "God isn't with him" or some bullshit, basically unquantifiable things. You don't hit the backboard on a wideopen 3 and tell me something isn't mechanically wrong with his shot. Idiot with a chimpanzee IQ.
I am a Lin fan but let's accept the reality: it's NOT about his confidence. He is a veteran and there is barely any room to improve, both physically and mentally. I am happy Raptors gives him a lot of minutes. We should kick back and enjoy his show, and stop holding high expectations.
since lin has improved his ablity to be a point guard at one time he was a better off the ball player. based on how the raptors are set up he plays best when he is running the point but not where there is tight hard d being played so that is why he is doing better in games when raps are ahead by a lot. lowery is the pg so at this point if lin can only get mins as an off guard knock down shooter he is in trouble because he can shoot his shot has always been streaky and you never know if he is going to make or miss. all he can do is continue to work hard and personally i'm thinking either the bench for GS or China are only options left.
I think it's time nurse gives him more minutes, look at the schedule coming up it's perfect for him to build that chemistry and confidence we all know he has
Don’t get me wrong, I love Jeremy Lin but he’s been playing pretty awful ever since joining the raptors and only performs well in the fourth quarter when the raptors are already up by 15+ . I just hope he can improve and get more minutes because he seems to like Toronto
@@followthewhiterabbit8561 awww pooor baby... are you mad that Asians are cut out to rule the world? Which is true: a) an asian stole your girl b) an asian stole your job c) you're jealous of asian intellectual superiority Life will be easier if you can come to terms with the fact that your kids will all be working for Asians chump
Lin will have more minutes to play for the rest of regular season games because McCaw was injured on Saturday. Here is what Nurse said about Lin a few days ago: "“What am I going do with him? Going to keep throwing him out there and hope he starts making some shots,” Nurse said earlier this week. “That’s it. Keep giving him chances.” So Lin needs to recover his shooting slump quickly. You got a coach that is delicate to help you out Lin. Try hard be confident into yourself and let all the negatives out of your head during the game.
his numbers look decent but still.. This was against a Knicks bench that's the worst in the league. Hard to get excited about this after an air ball and a 3 that hit the backboard. This can't qualify as a good game for him. Especially since the only other time he scored well was against the same team a couple weeks ago.
But his offense suck though. That's why Harden, Curry and all of the other Star players don't play defense. It will affect their offense. The Raptors didn't bring Lin in for his offense contribution but rather his defense.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq True can't deny that. But raptors bring him to help score some point as well of the bench + plus his defense and if he could score at least some double digit points like during his time in Hawks. It well greatly help raptors.
Lin is a slasher with some passing game... He needs to understand that he can't make 3s at the start of the game... slash to the rim a couple of times first and then shoots 3s later if that's what it takes to get it going.
It's a personality thing... When Lin feels like he is the number one option on the court he tends to play better and shoot better because of his confidence. When he thinks he is the fourth or last option on the court his confidence is then shot… Dude needs to stop psyching himself out.
john lee wow that is 100% how I see the situation too. He inflates himself and deflates himself depending on who’s on the court with him. The moment he’s on the floor w Kobe, Melo, Harden, Lowry.. it’s gg for Lin. If I can recall properly, last time he went for 38 was in a Houston uniform with Harden injured.
@Anthony Z Linsanity is absolutely gone but Lin accepts playing from the bench while Melo wouldn't. That is why Lin will probably have 2-3 more years in the league.
Even I need to say that those are some bad misses. His confidence must be really in the tank at this point. I hope he gets out of it and I hope to see him perform well in the playoffs.
0:46 - This right here is one reason why the Knicks are the Knicks. They don't even prepare for a rebound. Everyone's already running in the opposite direction, just giving up on the play.
LOL!... Lin's contract with the Raptors runs out at the end of this season. So maybe wait until after the playoffs to see if Lin is given a contract with the Raptors.
I’m watching tonight’s highlights now. He’s the second player to do it as far as I know tonight. The team still scored is the only reason they showed it.
lin needs confidence! @2:15 shot that shit! he passed out too many balls, some passes were noteven necessary. My boy Lin needs consistent 3's ! really hope he can find his confidence back, and get ready for the playoffs
Well done Lin!! Please keep at it, maybe relax more before you shoot the ball, but good hustle getting those rebounds and driving in for the layups, good passes too.
There are only 6 games left and Lin better recovers his shooting slump; otherwise he will be benched for good in the playoff. Lin is officially 3rd string PG position in Raptors. In the playoff the starters will play more minutes than the 2nd unit players; so if you are listed as a player that plays in the garbage times, likely you don't have a chance to play in the playoff. I am very sure that if every game in the playoff series is tight, then Lin will not have a chance to participate.
It seems like Lin hesitates a bit more lately. When he first joined the Raptors, he would attack and cut naturally. He trusts his basketball instinct. Now Lin is looking to set plays and it's affecting his natural instinct. Part of the reason is Lin is usually with bench unit + Lowry... so defense is more focused on the guards (as OG and McCaw post no offensive threat). I hope Lin will be become more comfortable shooting threes.. his first three attempt off a perfect ball movement (wide open three) was horrible. :(
Part of me loves how supportive the Raptors are, but I also think it’s very difficult playing when everyone is rooting for you from a sympathy perspective. It can be somewhat patronizing, successes can feel less deserved, and you also play different when you don’t have anyone to prove wrong
There were flashes of Linsanity at MSG tonight when he drove to the basket and finished the play. Lin and the Raptors need more of that, for him to play with confidence and no hesitation. Yes he can!
Love how supportive his teammates are towards him whenever he scores

He is doing wayyyyy better than I thought. He's no Yao ming as a center scorer, but he helps his team a LOTTTTTT. As a 6-8 rotation player, I hope he stays with a great team like the raptors next season. You guys are so negative sometimes lol.
@Boris Bornakiss Yes, last 3,4 mins all bench players got score Patrick McCaw 3 points ,Malcolm Miller 5 points, Jodie Meeks 6 points and Chris Boucher 3 points .
his previous injury is still a nightmare to him, it's not 100% LIN now, not even 60%.
he's afraid of attacking the rim now, poor guy. I don't really have much hope in his playoff, just hope he can be a good coach, so I can still see him for many years. Good luck, LIN!
He’s had some nice dishes to the three point line today, but I wish he passed more into the paint while he’s in the paint. Some easy high percentage baskets that boucher and serge would have. It’ll come with time as he develops more chemistry tho
Apparently Nurse was trying different combinations in each quarters. 1st and 2nd with the start lineup, Lin plays a shooting guard like OG. while in the 4th quarter he plays his favorite point guard position, just as in the Hawks and Linsanity period. He definitely needs to improve his 3 pointers though. last games' 0/5 was a bummer.
His teammates are very supportive.
He’s si underrated
what's wrong with his shots? hitting the back board omg
Thats surprise me seriously too..
He killed the lizard in thier hahhaahahahahah hitting the widths of the back board but great 4th quarter JLin keep attacking the basket create some great dimes wowwwww
Yup exactly my point where there was no one around him.
@Fei Long are u serious lol? i mean do u play in the nba?
@@lyhthegreat he's recovering give him time
1:32 he should have taken Lowry's Game 5 of NBA finals last shot 👌🏼🤣
Lol
I still have hope for Lin to have one more linsanity surge .... right now he only does just ENOUGH. He needs to be a bit more physical on offense. I’m aware his coming off injury but it’s been enough games & his played enough minutes. His had several good games. It’s time to step up! You got it bro *flames emoji*
He really is such a smart player
I liked how aggressive he was tonight. This is what he needs to do more of. Take it aggressively to the hole and make something happen. He's been taking too many threes trying to prove to himself that he's a good three point shooter. If he takes one or two a game that's fine but he really just has to play to his strengths and he'll be fine.
The open look 3 really stuns me by hitting the board... he should be in high pressure by not drilling the 3 for long time... he needs some pressure relieve....
Lester Yip I thought the same. That says a lot about the current state of his shot (it’s bad)
According to a youtube video posted yesterday, Lin suffered a back injury in January when he was with Atlanta and developed a hitch in his shooting form, and consequently his shooting has gone downhill. Prior to the injury, he was shooting nearly 40% from 3pt range on the season. He and his shooting coach need to figure this out and figure it out quick.

@@traey1775 stop making excuses for Lin
chijxyooj87 chijxyooj87 Where's the excuse? An excuse would be saying "he had an off night" or "he's not playing confident" or "he's depressed" or "God isn't with him" or some bullshit, basically unquantifiable things. You don't hit the backboard on a wideopen 3 and tell me something isn't mechanically wrong with his shot. Idiot with a chimpanzee IQ.
It’s not normal to hit the backboard like that. Hope he figures out his shot soon
I am a Lin fan but let's accept the reality: it's NOT about his confidence. He is a veteran and there is barely any room to improve, both physically and mentally. I am happy Raptors gives him a lot of minutes. We should kick back and enjoy his show, and stop holding high expectations.
since lin has improved his ablity to be a point guard at one time he was a better off the ball player. based on how the raptors are set up he plays best when he is running the point but not where there is tight hard d being played so that is why he is doing better in games when raps are ahead by a lot. lowery is the pg so at this point if lin can only get mins as an off guard knock down shooter he is in trouble because he can shoot his shot has always been streaky and you never know if he is going to make or miss. all he can do is continue to work hard and personally i'm thinking either the bench for GS or China are only options left.
He built comfort with the 3rd unit lol. He will get more playing time last few games. Hopefully he gets his shooting back soon
看到林書豪的出手就知道他信心不是很夠~~傳球第一~~攻擊第二~~外線投射第三 希望他能有更穩地的外線投射~~
I think it's time nurse gives him more minutes, look at the schedule coming up it's perfect for him to build that chemistry and confidence we all know he has
Don’t get me wrong, I love Jeremy Lin but he’s been playing pretty awful ever since joining the raptors and only performs well in the fourth quarter when the raptors are already up by 15+ . I just hope he can improve and get more minutes because he seems to like Toronto
Exactly
yada yada broke record
Lin is proving why Asians don't belong in the NBA. They're just not cut out for the game.
richard seymore shut up nigga
U racist Af
@@followthewhiterabbit8561
awww pooor baby... are you mad that Asians are cut out to rule the world?
Which is true:
a) an asian stole your girl
b) an asian stole your job
c) you're jealous of asian intellectual superiority
Life will be easier if you can come to terms with the fact that your kids will all be working for Asians chump
Lin will have more minutes to play for the rest of regular season games because McCaw was injured on Saturday. Here is what Nurse said about Lin a few days ago:
"“What am I going do with him? Going to keep throwing him out there and hope he starts making some shots,” Nurse said earlier this week. “That’s it. Keep giving him chances.”
So Lin needs to recover his shooting slump quickly. You got a coach that is delicate to help you out Lin. Try hard be confident into yourself and let all the negatives out of your head during the game.
It’s really touch when Lin got his 3points... and his teammates cheer for him.
Lin def doesn't drive like a train down the lane anymore, that was his best ability T_T
His thing is drawing fouls and opening up other players with his more aggressive driving. Hes a good team player bottom line.
his numbers look decent but still.. This was against a Knicks bench that's the worst in the league. Hard to get excited about this after an air ball and a 3 that hit the backboard. This can't qualify as a good game for him. Especially since the only other time he scored well was against the same team a couple weeks ago.
Jlin form slowly coming back. Remember, last 2 seasons injured n join Raptors mid season. Jlin n Gascol still trying to fit in Raptors.
Lin have up his defense since joining Raptors. Nice to see him play well :) Just need to be more consistent for the playoffs.
But his offense suck though. That's why Harden, Curry and all of the other Star players don't play defense. It will affect their offense. The Raptors didn't bring Lin in for his offense contribution but rather his defense.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq True can't deny that. But raptors bring him to help score some point as well of the bench + plus his defense and if he could score at least some double digit points like during his time in Hawks. It well greatly help raptors.
Lin is a slasher with some passing game... He needs to understand that he can't make 3s at the start of the game... slash to the rim a couple of times first and then shoots 3s later if that's what it takes to get it going.
It's a personality thing... When Lin feels like he is the number one option on the court he tends to play better and shoot better because of his confidence.
When he thinks he is the fourth or last option on the court his confidence is then shot…
Dude needs to stop psyching himself out.
john lee wow that is 100% how I see the situation too. He inflates himself and deflates himself depending on who’s on the court with him. The moment he’s on the floor w Kobe, Melo, Harden, Lowry.. it’s gg for Lin. If I can recall properly, last time he went for 38 was in a Houston uniform with Harden injured.
Jeremy's still in the NBA, where's MarshMelo Anthony ?!?
His ego ended his career 😂
@@tinboy479 he is at home watching lin playing basketball lol ... jk. he is probably in the hotel with some hot bitches lol
@Anthony Z Linsanity is absolutely gone but Lin accepts playing from the bench while Melo wouldn't. That is why Lin will probably have 2-3 more years in the league.
@Anthony Z you don't even know what your saying... what a baby!
Explain how clips of Lin sucking are supposed to be highlights.
Even I need to say that those are some bad misses. His confidence must be really in the tank at this point. I hope he gets out of it and I hope to see him perform well in the playoffs.
0:46 - This right here is one reason why the Knicks are the Knicks. They don't even prepare for a rebound. Everyone's already running in the opposite direction, just giving up on the play.
Lin finished with 19 and 21?! Sickkk
Raptors really is where lin should be loyal to cause everyone wants him to succeed
I need a Lin Toronto jersey
that would be a waste of money.
Lool what a waste...
LOL!... Lin's contract with the Raptors runs out at the end of this season. So maybe wait until after the playoffs to see if Lin is given a contract with the Raptors.
@@followthewhiterabbit8561 be quiet, no one asked you.
lin u r the best
Congratulation raptors .. congratulation lin ... He is getting better second half ..
Norm is shooting the ball so well right now
I know it happens but how does an nba level guard hit the side of the backboard from an open corner 3??
he saw a cute girl in the stands
I’m watching tonight’s highlights now. He’s the second player to do it as far as I know tonight. The team still scored is the only reason they showed it.
Much needed confidence boost
lin needs confidence! @2:15 shot that shit! he passed out too many balls, some passes were noteven necessary. My boy Lin needs consistent 3's ! really hope he can find his confidence back, and get ready for the playoffs
What happened to him in between the swap from Atlanta to Toronto? I've never seen him shooting so poorly
Well done Lin!! Please keep at it, maybe relax more before you shoot the ball, but good hustle getting those rebounds and driving in for the layups, good passes too.
At 2:15, I thought he was going to go for a spin move
There are only 6 games left and Lin better recovers his shooting slump; otherwise he will be benched for good in the playoff. Lin is officially 3rd string PG position in Raptors. In the playoff the starters will play more minutes than the 2nd unit players; so if you are listed as a player that plays in the garbage times, likely you don't have a chance to play in the playoff. I am very sure that if every game in the playoff series is tight, then Lin will not have a chance to participate.
It seems like Lin hesitates a bit more lately. When he first joined the Raptors, he would attack and cut naturally. He trusts his basketball instinct. Now Lin is looking to set plays and it's affecting his natural instinct. Part of the reason is Lin is usually with bench unit + Lowry... so defense is more focused on the guards (as OG and McCaw post no offensive threat). I hope Lin will be become more comfortable shooting threes.. his first three attempt off a perfect ball movement (wide open three) was horrible. :(
It pains me to say it but I'm losing hope for Jeremy. It looks like hes lost it mentally and physically he seems to have lost a step
he be ok... hopefully playoffs will be his time...
Part of me loves how supportive the Raptors are, but I also think it’s very difficult playing when everyone is rooting for you from a sympathy perspective.
It can be somewhat patronizing, successes can feel less deserved, and you also play different when you don’t have anyone to prove wrong
some awesome left handed layups. Lin just needs to get rolling and watchout
Still a great point guard then everything is still decent except his shooting.
There were flashes of Linsanity at MSG tonight when he drove to the basket and finished the play. Lin and the Raptors need more of that, for him to play with confidence and no hesitation. Yes he can!
Great team, hope you keep up ☝
1:32 that was a nice shot!
Honestly thought this was a spoof channel after seeing the two airballs
The backboard three got me sighing though.
sad, still not getting fouls from those hard body contact, comparing the fouls in today's warriors and Timberwolves game, sad
What happened to Jeremy lin
I hope he improves
good team for lin
Lin just needs to stay agreesive and attack downhill and he will be good down the stretch
