Now that Lin's saved D'Antoni's job, it seems like fans are passing on their blame from Mike to Melo. We love to have a scapegoat.
In 8 years, he's only been asked to create a shot for himself. This year, he gets thrown into the point-forward role, and actually did a pretty solid job with it, working the pick and roll with Tyson, and finding teammates open shots. To top it off, he's been playing with a handful of injuries.
Too much iso? Sure, but after watching a team that couldn't hit the broadside of a barn (Hey Toney, 23 is supposed to be your jersey number, not your FG%!), I can't blame him for taking some bad shots. No matter how bad they were, they were more likely to go in.
If Lin can revive Jeffries' offensive game, why are we so worried about existing with Melo?!
