Melo is healing. Lin has proven he's a 4th quarter madness. This one was easy.

Jeremy Lin now! But Melo should regain form, then it is Melo! But it should be both! Whatever is better for the given game!

it should ALWAYS be Lin. He's the PG. His job is to break down the D and find the best shot.
Also when Lin attacks people are in motion. When people are in motion good things happen. We have tons of guys who can finish. Half the time our broken plays result in great plays.
I have no problem with Lin's job to be to find Melo for a game winner, but the ball should be in Lin's hands.
When it goes through Melo he pounds the ball. Everyone stands and watches. There are never any offensive rebounds unless it Melo getting his own

Yup, he just pounds the ball until there's a dent in the floor :

Both. The PnR with him and Lin creates major opportunities for both. Pgs get stuck on Melo screens and have to fight over because they do not want to be matched up with Melo in the post and that creates lanes for Lin to drive. Plus, eventhough Melo is off he still is knocking down the jumper off the PnR at a pretty good clip.

Yea the Melo/Lin PnR is a good play. I general you want to have your PG have the ball if he's a good breakdown player. There are more options that are created by running a real play, but it also depends on how Melo is playing at that point in the game. I trust Lin with the ball. Melo hasn't been himself, hopefully he regains his game at some point along the way. It's a good problem to have really.

that is the first time I have seen Melo pass when confronted by a double team. Its probably because he hasn't practiced a hook shot enough.
