It's no big deal. The game was pretty close-- mistake were made. Jeremy Lin is still a beast. At the very, very least, he's shown he's at least NBA caliber, and that he was overlooked for the longest time. | ||

J Lin still scored 26 points, 5 assists = great game but 8 TO's first half, only 1 TO the second half so he adjusted | ||

That said, people aren't looking too much into the turnovers, if he had 4ish a night ok thats fine but 8/9 is actually unreal | ||

Even my local shows (west coast) talk about him for the majority of their show, even on nights where the Knicks aren't even playing. It's nice to see different players rise to the top for a change, but I'm confident that when Melo is back on regular duty, the Knicks will go back to their ineptitude, probably by directly hindering Lin's effectiveness with his presence. | ||

I've seen the phrase used a couple times in sports, but cmon man, how can the writer have such lack of empathy? People are actually downplaying this to where the writer was ignorant of the racist term. "Chink in the armor": a weakness in the armor as they show a picture of Jeremy Lin for this headline. Double entendre? Hell yes. | ||

Double entendre? Hell yes. If you are a professional journalist and you are ignorant of what words mean in every context you should be fired or working for tabloids. The same person who is not ignorant of it should be fired as well. If a black hockey player had a weak game and the headline was "Whipped into Shape" I doubt anyone would argue ignorance. | ||

After a while, Lin will know what to do in which situation and then he's going to be one of the dominant PGs in the league... Lin had 4 years of college. One of the biggest argument for not letting people enter the NBA from high school was that just one or two years has a huge impact on their development, and after four years they should be fairly polished and ready to make an impact. Lin will improve, but he's not a raw talent like John Wall. | ||
