I agree 100%..but i will say his turnovers went down cus his minutes did as well

Eh, not by much, but even still, that's a good thing. When you ride the pine that long, and maybe get 5 minutes a game, then you come in, and you're playing 36 minutes a game, fatigue means something different to your body then. And what I like is that his TO when down even with his minutes going down, but even after defenses were starting to trap him really hard. The game against Dallas, they wouldn't stop trapping him.

True..i think hes better with the minutes he is at now..playing 40 + is too much for him

his turnovers have gone down because he finally does not have to make just about every single play for the team anymore now that melo is back. now, some of those turnovers will spread out to guys like melo, davis, smith, etc. u have to understand, he literally tried to make a play for his team every time down without really having anyone else that could create. he's gotten some pressure taken off him now.

it would wear anybody out when eeeeverybody on the other team's sole focus is to stop u.

tonight's game is going to be a lot of fun. he seems to have his absolute best games when the challenge rises and he's on national tv. i can't wait to see how the heat will play him. they might try to put lebron on him at times and put a guy like battier on melo since lebron can't guard both. my feeling is that if they try to guard lin one on one even if it's lebron, the heat are in for a long night. if they want to completely shut him down, they could use both lebron and wade which could be troublesome, but if they double him, something is going to give because the offensive weapons of the knicks are back and aren't going to just stand around while lin gets doubled.

i like your breakdown of why he is such a phenom. his background story is awesome, but the biggest reason is that he is asian american. whether people will admit that or not is another story, but it is. we have never seen a star asian guard in our lifetime. we're finally seeing one now so of course it's a big deal.

check this out: in Lin's 10 starts, the Knicks have shot nearly 15% pts higher and scored 21 more points per 100 possessions

Playing devil's advocate, their FG% is about the same, the assists are about the same, steals seem to be up, but so are turnovers. But the ONLY stat that matters is the W.
