Terry not impressed with Lin

NEW YORK -- Dallas Mavericks guard is not overly impressed with what New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin has been able to accomplish.

Especially those NBA record 45 turnovers Lin has produced, which are the most by a player in the NBA since the league started keeping turnovers in the 1977-'78 season.

"I've been a point guard in this league and (45 turnovers in seven games) would have gotten me on the bench real fast,'' Terry said.

'Terry believes Lin has benefited handsomely from Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni's uptempo system.

"He's in D'Antoni's system, and any player that plays a guard position in D'Antoni's system has opportunities to be able to put up good numbers, and I think that's what he's been able to do,'' Terry said. "The ball's in your hands a lot and you're going to have turnovers.''

Terry also said that a lot of what Lin has accomplished is media-driven.

"I think it's a lot of hype right now,'' Terry said. "Is he going to be a good player in the future? If he continues to work, he will.

"But given the opportunity, he's taken advantage of it. But everybody's making a lot out of just the seven games he's played.''

And what about those seven games?

"I've been in the league 13 years, and seven games don't necessarily make a career, but he does have great buzz right now,'' Terry said. "But we'll see when he face the (world) champs tonight.''

-- Dwain Price

Has Lin been given a wide berth? Absolutely. Has it paid off? Absolutely. Its been messy a times, no doubt, but you can't argue with the results. We're winning. The real test will come with Melo's return.

Post game comments from Terry:

“If you play 46 minutes (a game) in this league, you have an opportunity to put up some nice numbers,” Terry said. “Again, it is what it is. He’ll have to maintain this pace. It’s going to be tough. Ask anybody: Give them an opportunity, ball in their hands, 20-plus shots and you better do something.”

"Oh I forgot, the team seems to go downhill when he doesn't play so he has to play 46 minutes. My bad."

Anubis, quit trolling.

Some of these threads lately look like they were written in a crack binge. At least Annubis is trying to present some evidence to try and back up what he's saying. Guess going after the community pick is still a no no.

I agree with Terry that his stats are inflated by all the minutes he's played but it doesn't take away from what an amazing job Lin has done and that's where Terry is wrong.

Was he thinking about Lin's minutes when Lin was blowing right by him? Did he even mention the win streak? The clutch shooting? They kept hitting Lin hard and he kept going right at them. Terry has his ring, you'd think he would be in a better place.

ya he has a ring only because he was riding dirks ass for the last 6 years. Terry is a supporting player nothing more. Its obvious he is bitter for whatever reason. also nice brick terry

It must be his way of getting back at Dirk (jealousy?). Dirk plays a lot of minutes.

kobe at least admitted lin torched them. Terry didn't do jack in the game and he thinks he has the right to talk like that. he says he has been a pg for 13 years but he sucked for the most part . he got lucky he went to the Mavs where he didn't have to do much

Lin's shooting 50%!!! How is that hype or inflated due to minutes??? That's just not giving a player credit. If Terry tried to do all the things that Lin has done in the same amount of minutes, his arms would fall off! People need to start respecting what this young man is doing. It's hard as hell to play as much and be as good as he's been. If it wasn't there'd be more guys doing it.

I agree he is playing a lot of minutes but someone forgot to mention the efficiency rating of minutes Lin has played.

i actually liked terry when he went after lebron/ wade last year because they are clowns but lin has proved he is a player and he is humble. So terry just looks like a jackass. Kidd who has had a much better career than terry spoke the truth

You're right, 50 percent is great but he is averaging more shot attempts per game, this month, than Melo is this season. Doesn't make him a lousy shooter, you just proved it. But it does mean that he is getting opportunities he wouldn't if he weren't the primary option on offense. You take away a few minutes and down goes the attempts and the avg. Not important unless he's on your fantasy team.

Its necessary now but it won't be when Melo and Davis are in the rotation, I hope. You're also right that Terry is trying to make it sound like he is bricking all over the place which he clearly isn't. Its great to know we have that on tap when Melo and Stat are having bad nights.
