thankfully it's more complicated than that - he's learning to pick his spots within the offense. learning the times when it's best to call his own number and when it's time to get melo or stat or tyson involved.
that's what the good and great point guards do. that's what chris paul does, etc.
Knicks are trying to win NOW not wait for Lin to possibly develop. In the mean time Lin needs to stick to the script. Glad Woodson got in his ear.
Decision making comes with experience and right now Woodson has him on a short leash.
Lin played within the system last night. He's also one of the big reasons Indiana didn't come back in the 4th. Woodson was yelling at him about two specific plays, not his overall play.
It's good to yell at him and get him under control - may cut down on the turnovers, which would be nice.
19pts 7reb 6ast 1stl 1blk 2to - that's a damn good game for a rookie point guard during a playoffs level intensity road game.
