When was the last time Knicks games were so much fun to watch?
If Lin can get the ball to Jared Jeffries and Steve Novak in rhythm, imagine what he can do when he gets time with Amar'e and Carmelo. Win or lose, he has flashed enough of an NBA skill set, on both ends, to smile about.
If not for some weak finishing at the rim JLin would have 11 assists, against zero turnovers. Zero.
He is an old school baller. Composed. Fundamentally sound. A leader.
You guys watching the Lin show here too? Damn, can this kid ball.
He see's the floor great. He passes great (not super fast, but controlled and accurate)
His defense and help defense is great.
He is directing the defense 
He is directing the offense 
This is insane to watch. I tell you what, NY is back and MSG is going to be rocking. But teams are going to start really attacking the kid to try to get him out of his game. Luckily we have Stat and MElo - maybe not right yet but they'll be back.
Guy is a basketball player.
Melo will learn from the kid.
This is when hopefully his hard work will benefit him. Teams will start to figure him out and adjust to his tendencies. The good ones adapt to that. Luckily he's a hard worker and obviously pretty smart.

Teams will get the scouting report and Lin will continue to work. His outside shot will be high on the list.
It will be fun to watch.

If they can defer to him as the primary ball handler and lose the ISO mentality then yes. It will be a hoot.
Lin is like an athletic Einstein out there but with better coordination and court vision.

Lol, i wasn't aware that Einstein had a nauseating crossover
He's composed, quick and has great body control. I haven't been this excited about a Knicks player in a long time! He won't keep up this torrid pace but He can defeintly be our solution at PG with the talent we have around him! Love that he's an asian kid from a good school too! Finally a good asian b-ball player that isn't a freakishly tall product of China's genetic engineering/breeding program.

Watch him with his head up reading the defense, thing of beauty how he attacks with a plan.
This kid is legit. MVP - MVP - MVP - MVP
He said in the interview after Jazz game that he is negotiating with Fields to buy the couch !!
It's great to have a true PG, even if he is a young player who will have his ups and downs. I would love to see him and Nash splitting time at PG next year, it would be a dream come true. Nash can continue to help him develop into a strong starting PG. And i can't wait to see Melo and Stoudemire playing with a real PG making them look at home doing what they do best and not having to work as hard for their points.
Devin Harris and Earl Watson are tough matchups.
Lin went 45 minutes against TWO quality Utah guards. Harris played 30 minutes and Watson played 18.
Lin had the endurance. Downside, his second half turnovers were more due to exhaustion. Fuggedaboudit. Huge game minus the big three.
Knicks WIN with Lin.
I don't know about eistein but Urkel had a killer crossover.
I never imagined that we'd actually get a PG that was as close to Nash as you could hope for, but that's what Lin is. He's legitimately a pure PG. That's not how they scouted him when you read up on him, but this kid has been proving people wrong for so long. High School, College and now the NBA. GOD, i'm so glad we picked him up.
