Of course it did!! The guy went from a nobody to international Superstar overnight! I can only imagine how overwhelming all that might have been for him.

IMO, this is a non-issue.

Dude should quit while he is ahead.

He better be ready to backup that contract.

The Knicks elected not to match the poison pill contract. Lin was criticized for signing what Carmelo Anthony called a "ridiculous" contract that put the Knicks in a bind.

"It did kind of hurt," Lin said of the criticism. "I had to remind myself who I'm living for. Do I fear God or do I fear man? I know my actions, and I know I would change nothing if I could go back."

Haha... oh snap! What Jah Jah Bless Let No Man Curse!

OK... he's making it easier to forget about it...

"Melo! Once my teammate, and now my rival!"

Word up, I'm gonna be butthurt if he ever lights us up.

He gets about two steals for every three turnovers (2.6 and 4.2 per 36 min for his career). If he were to get one less steal and one less turnover, I doubt his net impact would be any different but his turnover numbers would be less ugly. In other words, I think his high steal totals mostly make his turnovers a non-issue. (That doesn't mean he shouldn't work on protecting the ball better - there's obviously always room for improvement.)

Lin has no scapegoat next year. He needs to shut up.

It's not really a big if. My "if" is not actually imposing any net improvement to his game; it's just one improvement (one less turnover) and one comparable deterioration (one less steal). Yours is imposing a net improvement to Melo's game and thus is not comparable to mine. I may have made my view clearer when I edited my previous message, which appears to have been after your quoted it.

Did you mean "one fewer turnover" and "one fewer steal"? You lost me at the semicolon

Isn't that what I said, only I used the word "less" rather than "fewer"? I think technically fewer is grammatically correct.

Just messin with the grammar stuff

Still have no idea what you were talking about (seriously). Can you be a bit "less" verbose?

how to you measure deterioration vs improvement with a similar deviation?

My point was basically that he's very good at getting steals and I think that compensates for his high turnovers. Does that make sense? Sometimes I make things more complicated than they need to be.

Well sort of. Its easier to understand what you are saying but now, I don't get the point.

"If he were to get one less steal and one less turnover, I doubt his net impact would be any different but his turnover numbers would be less ugly"

I am not sure what the value of a steal is vs. the negative value of a turnover.

Nevermind - it doesn't matter. I am getting dizzy :-)

They're opposite sides of the same coin. A steal gains you a possession and a turnover costs you one. In fact, a steal is always a forced turnover. A steal is as good as a turnover is bad.

So they are equal right? -1 + -1 would not change much? Just pretty vs ugly?
