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.

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.

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.
