"The Delivery Guy Who Saw Jeremy Lin Coming"

Can We Let Jeremy Lin Sit out All Star Weekend?

Most important: Lin is gonna need some rest. He is already playing far, far more minutes than he has at any other time in his life, and we have already seen him visibly exhausted at the end of games. Opponents are playing (and will continue to play) him by knocking him around when he comes into the lane; he's bigger than people think, but he can still only take so much banging around.

And Lin has shown a consistent aversion to this madness surrounding him, or at least an indifference to it: A weekend at home relaxing, with family or just with Jared Jeffries (playing Plinko, we'd bet), would do him a ton of good. The goal is to win games for the Knicks. This is what Lin has always said, and we absolutely believe him. The best thing he could do All-Star Weekend is stay away. There will be plenty of time for the NBA to showcase their newest star in the playoffs.

For that matter ... it wouldn't hurt Carmelo to take the weekend off, either. - Will Leitch, NYMagazine

Why? He should get all the exposure and accolades All Star Weekend will afford him and his career. Let his star grow, he deserves it! He's 23, not 33, his body will be fine.

1. Last night, Lin limped carefully off the floor.

2. He has never played this many minutes.

3. The second half schedule starts March with a brutal stretch of four road games against elite guards in six nights.

Boston with Rajon Rondo, to Dallas with Jason Kidd/ Jason Barea to San Antonio with Tony Parker and then Milwaukee with Brandon Jennings.

Jason Barea? Who's that? I've heard of Rodrigue Beaubois. I know Lin handled JJ Barea and Rubio well last weekend. Jason Terry will get eaten up alive by Shumps.

Errata. Meant to list Beaubois.

These four early March games are a test.

Two weeks


“You look at the Knicks now, they’re all high-fives and people picking each other up and laughing, even the guys on the bench,” (Kenny) Smith said. “Now look at, say, Charlotte, how joyless they are even after a basket. Two weeks ago, that was the Knicks.”

“It’s been unbelievable how everyone has just turned ‘Lin’ into something,” Lin said yesterday.

“And how much fun our team is having, now that we’re winning, off the court, and I’m not talking about nightlife. I’m talking about hanging out on the road, traveling together, loving being around each other, smiles top to bottom, everyone just having fun.”

Lin Wears Nike

Translation: The Starbury basketball shoe just got some serious competition

Lin's agent, Roger Montgomery, is impressed with the way Lin has handled the pressure of playing for the Knicks and his demeanor off the court in the face of growing multimedia requests.

"He's holding up pretty good," Montgomery said. "I'm proud of how well he is doing. … What right now people are forgetting is the engine, and the most important endorsement we have right now is that he is the starting point guard for the New York Knicks."

It's like this and like that and like this and uh

“Everyone wants to credit me for these last seven games,” (Lin) said. “I definitely deserve this one on my shoulders.”

The best part is the loss cannot be blamed on the return of Carmelo Anthony.

Once Lin stops turning it over he will earn the keys to the Maserati. His first half with 8 turnovers were Linexcusable.

Beat Dallas.

Favorite Passage

"The best shooters, it's not that their releases are quick, it's their feet that are quick," Scheppler said. "The best ones jump quick, but not high. So we did that with Jeremy, and we sped up his actual release time . . . and then it became just a thing of repeatable beauty."
Often they played a game Scheppler calls "Beat the ghost," in which Lin had to make 21 catch-and-shoot three-pointers before he missed seven -- or else start all over.


"That's where I saw how much of a competitor he is," he said. "He'd say, 'I have to win.' "
Scheppler said that by the end of their time together, Lin typically hit 70 percent to 75 percent of the three-pointers.
"Some of the shots we've worked on, he hasn't even brought them out of his bag yet," Scheppler said. "I would watch him shoot and say to myself, 'This guy is going to tear it up.'

Can Lin spend some time with Tiny Archibald?
