CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jeremy Lin knows what his fans think. How could he not? They bark complaints about his coaches and teammates at him daily on Twitter and Facebook, an endless wave of people who simply want the best for the first American of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to reach the NBA and the league’s only current Ivy Leaguer. Many sprang up during his “Linsanity” run in 2012, while others have followed since his time at Harvard and still others joined up when he landed with the Rockets or Lakers or Hornets, for this season.
They’re a vocal, passionate crowd with a singular focus and repeated, regimented points about their favorite player.
