Seriously? Cmon!!

He needs to stay in and work through it / figure it out.

Dude, throw out the kool aid for a second, there is a reason why Lin is -11 and has more turnovers than points and assists. Lin is human, he was due for a bad game. I believe it has to do with the hype of the opposing team, but either way, he has to get his act together or sit.

Wha? Miami is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him (and fouling the sh1t out of him). He needs to stay in and figure it out.

Geez, you're ready to jump off? Should we maybe send him back to the D league to figure out the trap??

Stand by our guy!!

Ridiculous! I stand by my guys but I say what I see. What is the point of saying Lin has played amazing tonight when the 6 turnovers, many of them careless, and the -12 point to the contrary? Am I sayinf trade him? Freaking NO, I love LIN! But man, savior of our season or whatever, be objective, guys! The guy wont break by telling him his faults.

The guy is getting hit without mercy and the refs are extremely biased, yeah. But that doesn't excuse the many turnovers he's had outside the arc setting up or making the first pass. He needs to cut his turnovers for us to win. HE hits double digits tonight, its just harder for us to win. Why did we look better under Davis? Because he was taking his time to set things up.

They ARE picking up their defense when Lin is out there. He is the target. We know that. But this amazing run has been built with Lin overcoming those obstacles.

I expect him to in the second half.

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

We got past all stars that are NOT scared of the Heat. Stat, Melo, Tyson, Baron and JR is like grandmama and ain't scared of nothing. Lin will feed off that.....

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.

If he wants to be considered Elite

We have 15 turnovers and only down 4. Lin played a terrible 1st half.

That's been the difference so far. Our starters have been able to hang with their starters and we were leading with our bench on the floor.

They aren't doubling Baron........................................

are you a knick fan or a lin hater. i never bashed melo like you claim i just said he needs to stop doing isos which he has

Okay I'm done with you. This has nothing to do with hating Lin. The fact is when Lin is in the game the pressure is on 100 and turnovers are increased. Although he hasn't played long, the pressure was much less significant when Baron was in the game.
