Exactly. Wall can go solo. Not much else.

Lin assists - over or under 15 for the game?

Amar'e is going to LOVE PLAYING WITH LIN.

Melo can sink this ship if he keeps trying to wave Lin off.

It's just easier. He's playing lazy BB. It takes thought and patience to run a set where everyone gets involved.

Over. Let's go 16.

Melo will buy in. Nothing wrong with getting wide open looks.

wall is kind of a 50/50 player. he throws up shots and sometimes it goes and sometimes not. he has great speed but can't really make any guys better. You can tell lin is frustrating him. Hell Deron williams even gave lin big props

Looking at Lin you want to pressure him heavily but he is sneaky quick so it comes back to bite you. I'm hoping he can keep this up. At first I thought he dent have a left hand but he does. 8 assist. That's crazy

Amar'e doesn't have to buy in!!! This is how he's wanted to play since day one!!! You put a real PG in this system and now you can see why it was so potent with Nash in it. It's not a GIMMICK!!!

Wall is taking the match up between him and Lin personally, imho. after every good Lin play he tries to create something in traffic. I think that summer league game is in his head.

Also, Jalen Rose you have some explaining to do.

8 first half assists. Crazy good.

I think he will too. I think we really devalue the TD effect. I've never seen a high character guy be such a cancer to the team.
