Jeremy Lin Stars, Kemba Walker Shoots, Courtney Lee Saves, Charlotte Hornets Streak
The Charlotte Hornets make it a 2-2 series with the Miami Heat, winning 89-85 in game 4. Kemba Walker led the scoring but Jeremy Lin was once more the best player and Courtney Lee provided the final moment of clutch.

Jeremy Lin Delivers, Frank Kaminsky Surprises, Charlotte Hornets Hopeful
Finally, the Miami Heat – Charlotte Hornets series turned into a two sided affair. Steve Clifford gets creative only when forced too, resulting in Frank Kaminsky playing big minutes and surprising everyone by stepping up, the defense finally showing up, Jeremy Lin being huge off the bench and Kemba Walker simply not stepping up to the occasion as the Hornets take game 3, winning 96-80.

Heat @ Hornets, Game 3: Jeremy Lin Starting, Kemba Walker Changing (???), Steve Clifford Inflexible
As the Charlotte Hornets enter game 3, which in most playoff series with a team down 2-0, is the one that tells us whether there’s any reason to keep watching. Nicolas Batum is out, Jeremy Lin will probably start. Does this mean that Steve Clifford will try something new against the Miami Heat? Hard to say knowing his opinions, and the fact that Kemba Walker remains the guy he thinks is going to win him this series.

Jeremy Lin Kinda Flat, Kemba Walker Changes Nothing, Steve Clifford Stupidly Stubborn, Hornets Need Miracle
The Miami Heat take a 2-0 lead over the Charlotte Hornets with a 115-103 win. Steve Clifford thought everything was fine, so why change things this time around? Kemba Walker scored meaningless points, Jeremy Lin had a difficult to define game, but overall, the Heat keep having their way on both ends of the floor, comfortably rolling towards what should be a place in the conference semifinals.

Hornets @ Heat, Game 2: Jeremy Lin Waiting for Steve Clifford to Wake Up
Time to see what the Charlotte Hornets are made of or more accurately – if Steve Clifford watched and learned what he should from the first game against the Miami Heat. Less Kemba Walker, more Jeremy Lin, demand his defense to help in mismatches and yell at them to move the ball.

6th Man of the Year: Jeremy Lin Wasn’t Robbed, Jamal Crawford Doesn’t Deserve It
Handing the Sixth Man of the Year award to Jamal Crawoford for the third time in his career suggests the people voting for it haven’t been watching a lot of basketball this season. I’m not sure Jeremy Lin did enough to win it, but it probably should have gone to someone else.

Jeremy Lin Criminally Misused, Steve Clifford Looks Lost, Charlotte Hornets in Trouble
It’s hard to think of one word that descibes how bad the Charlotte Hornets looked in game of their first round NBA Playoffs series, losing 123-91 to the Miami Heat. Steve Clifford looked clueless, Kemba Walker showed how useless a scoring point guard can be, everyone forgot how to pass the ball and Jeremy Lin was underused, misused and generally put in a position which denied him and the team any chance of succeeding.

Jeremy Lin Playoffs Begin, Charlotte Hornets Need Him More Than Ever
Whether the Charlotte Hornets have a good postseason or not (which means winning at least one series); whether Jeremy Lin is pleased with his accomplishments in the playoffs, this is just the bridge to an offseason in which Lin is most likely going to find himself another team to play for.

Jeremy Lin – Building a Playoff Legacy
For the fourth time in his NBA career, Jeremy Lin has helped a team into the NBA playoffs. With the Charlotte Hornets he has a shot at expanding his so far very limited postseason repertoire, although it obviously has a lot to do with which side of the bed Steve Clifford and partially Kemba Walker wake up on.

Jeremy Lin Starts & Sizzles, Al Jefferson Getting Better, Charlotte Hornets Stay Put
The Charlotte Hornets beat the Orlando Magic 117-103 to close out a fantastic regular season by their standards, starting Jeremy Lin instead of the injured Nicolas Batum and getting another fine performance from Al Jefferson off the bench, although all of that didn’t help them move up the Eastern Conference Standings, if they were even looking to do that.
