Did lin tear it up in garbage time? No
Has Murry ever played in the D League? No

Lin only started to play well in the nba the first game of Linsanity. It seems like you forgot that he was close to be getting cut. Players tearing it up would not be close to getting cut. Please let us not try to change history.

garbage time is not a way to evaluate anyone. The reason is because they are not playing the same role they would with the normal players. This is the same mistake people make when drafting. For instance people did not like Tim when he was drafted because his shot selection was bad on the scouting reports. His shot selection is bad but it is not as bad as advertised now because he is getting wide open shots off doubles from players like melo.

Murry in garbage time will not be getting easier shots because people will not be doubled. No one will be doubling Cole. If he played with Melo the kind of shots he would get would be easier. He would be in a more advantageous position to take advantage of defensive rotations.

If I remember correctly, Knick players at that time were going on-and-on how Lin kept killing all guards during practice before he got his first shot at the rotation.

You are correct, they did say he played well in practice. Gun said he played well in limited(garbage) time and that was totally inaccurate.

His first meaningful minutes Knicks-Rockets before Linsanity. He got us a big lead. Dantoni went back to Toney Douglas, didn't feel Lin was ready for a 4th quarter. Knicks got blown out. And all the minutes he got in garbage time where he penetrated at will but most people were convinced it was GARBAGE TIME. There were quite a few of us here calling for Lin to get a chance after he lite up the dleague. Go back and look. Not changing history in no way. I like to deal in reality
