Jeremy Lin is frustrated to say the least.
Lin has experienced an adversarial season
with the Lakers well before his demotion.
We have acquired Lin and a first-round
pick from the Rockets this off-season in
a salary dump to pursue Chris Bosh.
Although Lin has averaged 10.5 points on
43.6 % shooting, 4.5 assists and 2.3 turn-
overs, Scott has often pointed out Lin's
inconsistency with his play making, his
aggressiveness and his defense. Lin
makes this statement:"Iv'e gone from
getting cut in the D-League to starting
to playing heavy minutes in all these
different roles every week, I have to
keep staying aggressive when I get
out there". He further states, " I am
human. I have emotions." He played
on Sunday against the Houston Rockets
when we lost that game, score: 99-87.
Jordan Clarkson showed us his moves
on Sunday's game. He realizes though
that he still has a lot of work to do. He
knows for one thing, he must get into
sets faster."I do believe that in Friday's
game I did a pretty good job", he said.
He definitely can get better and keeping
guys out of the paint is one thing to do.
He took a dose of reality on Sunday when
he scored 8 points on just 2 of 10 shooting
with 2 assists and 5 turnovers in 27+
minutes. Scott said he warned Clarkson the
Rockets would try to speed him up & they did.
The harsh truth awaited Kobe Bryant. The Lakers
star visited with team doctor Steve Lombardo
on Friday for a re-examination after an MRI
suggested he had a torn rotator cuff in his
right shoulder.There are 4 muscles in the cuff.
Unlike the previous MRI + ultrasound, the
muscle is torn now and requires surgery.
Even with the torn rotator cuff, Kobe Bryant
states this is not the end of the 2014-15
season and is not the way he will go out.
The Lakers now host Washington on Tuesday.
