And I'm not blaming Lin or being hard on him. The fact is Miami isn't playing the same defense on Baron. Either you(MDA) take advantage of Lin being double teamed or you relieve the pressure by giving Baron more time.

That can makes you loose confidence and play stressed.

True, but MANY of his turnovers have been just careless out of focus turnovers. He needs to cut them urgently.

well if you are double teamed and your players dont come to the ball its gonna create turnovers it happens

DUDE! LEt me tell you I love Lin, but I've got some newsflash for you: he actually makes mistakes. Amazing, right? Yeah, I know. I can understand the turnovers off double teams where they actually foul them. But he has like 4 where its been single coverage and he has just been careless. He didn't look ready for this type of game. He will get there, hopefully this next half, but to sugarcoat him because he is Lin? Nah, being objective is better.

I expect Lin to turn his game around and be a key in this second half, especially in the fourth.

Charles Barkley said he is going to give Lin a pass tonight because he thinks Lin is mentally exhausted by all the press and hysteria. For a second there, I thought Barkley was going to rip into Lin but he didn't.

Man, they're eating good right now, all four of them. Why? I'm getting hungry.

ya most of the fans bashing him are melo fans who feel melo has been wronged i guess. this is lins first game against the heat and he is a smart kid he will figure it out. also lin has been carrying this team for the past month

Nobody bashing Lin because we Melo fans. We are Knicks Fans. Lin just looks shook. That's a fact!!!

The Knicks have enough talent to pick Lin up.

It is a team game. Amar'e and Melo will continue to lead.

once a knick always a knick

The press is going to rip into Lin if he scores under 10 points. They're going to rip into him HARD. The media is dirty like that.

Also lin has to get lower when he is handling the ball. His defenders are much lower than he is.

They have to do a better job of relieving him of pressure.

The press loves to bring them high so they can knock him down.

Dallas? I thought they were a top defensive team but I admit I am not sure of that.
