D’Antoni Emotional in Defending Lin
March 12, 2012
On Sunday afternoon, a similar situation unfolded — this time centered
around Jeremy Lin’s recent struggles during the Knicks’ 106-94 loss to the
Sixers and their five-game losing streak. The head coach defended his
starting point guard in an emotional plea-like way, just like he did for
Jeffries.
“Jeremy has to play a certain way,” he said. “The floor has to be open,
you’ve got to play with energy, you’ve got to go. And he’s going to make
some mistakes, but his overall game will be good, is good.
“I think he has to play a certain way and we’ll try to get to that way. We
’re not there. And he’s played 15 to 20 games in the NBA, he’s going to
have some nights where he’s not going to be perfect. But he knows how to
win and he figures it out as the game goes on.
“He’s going to be a very good point guard, a very good point guard. It’s
funny, somebody was reading something to me. Somebody was quoted as saying
he’s going to be a mediocre backup point guard. That’s the same guy that
probably two years ago said he couldn’t play at all.” |
