Jeremy Lin Still Getting Minutes, Charlotte Hornets Have a Kemba Walker Problem
The Charlotte Hornets losing 109-101 to the Washington Wizards came with some interesting points for thoughts about the season going forward: Jeremy Lin once again getting big minutes but maybe not involved enough, and Kemba Walker showing abysmal defense against John Wall, directly influencing his offense, for the worse.

Jeremy Lin Reminds Charlotte Hornets, NBA Just How Good He Is
An OK season for Jeremy Lin just turned into something that could be a lot bigger, as he puts in possibly his best game in over two years to lead the Charlotte Hornets in 109-99 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors, filling in for the sick Nicolas Batum, and forming quite the successful backcourt partnership with Kemba Walker.

The Jeremy Lin or Kemba Walker Question for the Charlotte Hornets
As something of a continuation to the last couple of posts regarding Jeremy Lin, his function within the Charlotte Hornets and what does it have to do with Kemba Walker and Steve Clifford (almost everything), we keep looking into the issue of who is the actual point guard, or at least should be.

Jeremy Lin Can’t Fix Everything the Charlotte Hornets Starters Mess Up
In the end, with Jeremy Lin on the floor, the Charlotte Hornets couldn’t close the deal against the Boston Celtics and lost 98-93, their first after four consecutive wins. But from every loss comes an opportunity to learn something, although we’ve seen Steve Clifford waste those away time after time.

Charlotte Hornets Make Things Easy Without Too Much From Jeremy Lin
The Charlotte Hornets didn’t listen to us (surprising, right?) and kept Jeremy Lin as the backup point guard in an easy 99-81 win over the Miami Heat as Kemba Walker led the scoring along with Marvin Williams, Nicolas Batum got triple double and Al Jefferson, not even playing, got himself suspended.

Charlotte Hornets Should Play Jeremy Lin at Point Guard, But They Won’t
The Charlotte Hornets are budging from their current approach: Kemba Walker is the point guard at all times, while Jeremy Lin is the backup point guard and usually a crunch time shooting guard. That may be the state of things right now, but it doesn’t mean it’s the best thing for the team.

Charlotte Hornets Can Get Creative With More Jeremy Lin
Playing against the Detroit Pistons while Al Jefferson is still out might be a very good opportunity for Jeremy Lin to start a streak of meaningful minutes, especially if Steve Clifford decides on going creative with the rotations he uses.

Charlotte Hornets Need Jeremy Lin to do More Than Watch Kemba Walker
The Charlotte Hornets beat the Chicago Bulls 102-96 with Jeremy Lin finally taking a much more active part in occurrences on the court, but Steve Clifford needs to be consistent with his playing time and role, although it’s difficult seeing him taking away touches and playing time from Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum.

Charlotte Hornets & Steve Clifford Screwing Jeremy Lin
The Charlotte Hornets are licking their wounds from getting beat up by the best team in the NBA. Jeremy Lin is either pushed aside by Steve Clifford or injured or both. Kemba Walker had one of his worst games ever, although it won’t stop him from playing 35 minutes a night and keeping his diplomatic immunity to prolonged benching, even if he’s hurting the team.

Charlotte Hornets – Jeremy Lin Erased by Terrible Steve Clifford & Kemba Walker
The Charlotte Hornets losing to the Golden State Warriors (116-99) doesn’t shock anyone. But Steve Clifford making weird decisions, like going with a terrible Kemba Walker no matter what, while mistreating Jeremy Lin once again unless he was being cautious because of an injury, throws his competence as a head coach into serious doubt.
