They played three clips from the Wizards game 1. Wizards fall victim the the P n R 2. Wizards guard the P n R...Lin hits a wide open Novak in the corner for 3 3. Wizards guard the P n R and the shooter...Lin drives for an open dunk

![]() opposing PGs haven't been going under the screener to force Lin to shoot. I don't know wtf Wall was doing gambling for steals out of possession on pnrs.

![]() The question wasn't about if the Knick's make the playoffs.
I personally couldn't visualize Baron Davis at 32, rehabbing from a long injury, playing for a new team, being physically able to surpass the impact that Jeremy Lin currently has provided the Knicks. There is a good chance that the Knick's Jeremy Lin, will end up being an even better acquisition for the Knicks, than Victor Cruz was for the Giants. (Mind boggling for both extremely lucky breaks to occur for two sports franchises based in the same city.) |

Deron went under pick (twice in one sequence) and Lin hits 17-footer on second go-around. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

![]() nixluva wrote:I can't really answer anything on Baron until we see him actually play, but as for Lin, I think it's very hard for teams to take the PnR away if you do it right. The Knicks actually run sets that have other motion in them before you even get a PnR. This helps to keep the defense honest and then Lin can call for a Pick at anytime and catch the D when it's off guard. Also Lin is tricky. He sets guys up with hesitation moves and bursts of speed when they least expect it. Lin is much more slick and smart about his game than people realize. Great points. Stockton and Malone made HOF careers on the PnR. Sloan ran it even after they both left. MDA said it the other night. It does not matter what the defense does because something will be open. Lin is a PG who can find what is open and exploit it. Finally. |
