Interesting how little was written about the hand checking rule.

I wonder if anyone has looked at actual data on it, and how the rate of perimeter fouls changed.

That's a very interesting read. Thanks for linking it Ace. Fun to peak into the past and see the predictions, and then compare them to what's actually happened. Arguably, one could say that D'Antoni and Thibodeau happened and were the coaches that the article predicted as eventually figuring out how to unlock the potential of the new rules.

Yep, those were the two coaches that immediately popped into my mind reading that article. It confirms a lot of what I thought of the older eras offensively too.

You done gone too far! Philly is quite nice in the fall and spring, and this summer has been the nicest ever.

Southern California is nice this time of the year. Northern California, too, as long as the ground isn't shaking.

Lakers are in for a treat this year. Everyone is expecting them to do bad, but a healthy Kobe on his last year and Lin is going to tear up the league.

Lin is actually not as bad as most people think. He was mis-used heavily in Houston, as a spot-up shooter who can't touch the ball. His defense is also actually not below average, regardless of the garbage media likes to repeat. He has a solid jumper now, pretty athletic, good passing / vision, and freaking elite penetration with average defense. You let him play the offense, and good things happen.

Melo / Stat came back to team and disrupted the way Lin played during Linsanity. After he was traded to Rockets, Harden was the primary ballhandler, and Lin was relegated to the bench because Harden had atrocious defense and Beverly was needed to cover Harden's bad defense, as well as Mchale simply did not like Lin

If you think Harden being a ball dominator was a problem, what makes you think Kobe is going to be better? This reeks of homerism.
Who's the bigger scrub, the scrub, or the scrub who loses to him?

I agree that Lin was probably underutilized and/or misused in HOU, but I also agree that the same concerns should exist when considering how he'll handle playing next to Kobe, who has been just as ball-dominant as Harden.

On the positive side (for Lakers fans), I think there's a good chance that Kobe will want Lin to do well and help carry a large offensive load at this point in his career. All of his recent interviews and comments about where he is in his career and where he seems himself indicate that he's cognizant of his limitations due to his age and injuries. I've also read statements from Kobe about how he wants to become more efficient on offense. This is all talk at this point though, so it definitely remains to be seen, especially since this is Kobe we're talking about.

kobe at his age and health prob will not be the same old kobe and mebbe take on a different role, at least non crunch time.

One of the best stats I've heard that come to mind when making a case for Lin is from that "How will Lebron fit in CLE" that came out on ESPN magazine. They listed him as one of 5 players who was in the top 20 in drives-per-game and in the 80th percentile on catch-and-shoot jumpers. Lin was 14th in drives-per-game (ahead of even Waiters and LBJ) in an offense that didn't really even maximize him in that manner. His catch-and-shoot points-per-possession were at 1.20, tying him with Dragic and right below Lillard and LBJ.

Yep. Lin is elite at attacking the rim and he isn't a terrible shooter. He got injured midway into the season and just never recovered. He's solid.


Lakers will still suck though.
