Lin cannot do much worse than the 23 turnovers donated last night.

Play him.

Agreed; he may help us to lose less badly.

That would be a baby step in the right direction. You have a better idea?

And please, waiting on Baron Davis is NOT a long term solution any more than Paul Westphal, Steve Francis, Derek Harper, Doc Rivers, Tracy McGrady... or the recently-signed Toney Douglas.

That is on the coach, folks. He needs to figure this out, and get these guys to listen to his plan, or dumb his plans down.

Quite frankly I dont think its close. If you consider Lin is an athletic 6-3 who looks to push the ball get others involved has the ability to break down a defense and add in he can actually shoot the ball--its an easy choice. Iman is playing because he was pick 18 but hes no PG. TD has not shown the intelligence to start at PG in the NBA. Hes a fine back up but not a true starting PG type. Lin is our Tim Tebow--give him the chance and lets see what happens.

Tim Tebow cannot hit the ocean from a boat. I would prefer Lin to be our Eli Manning.

What if that boat was in the middle of the desert? Then it would be ok but Tebow would open up the skies and make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights until the Sahara ocean formed and he would plunk that spiral in right dead center.

Then he would start Tebowing

The best thing that can happen is that he makes mistakes, works to correct them - and gains the gradual respect and trust of his running buddies.

+1

I just want him to get a fair chance to make the rotation, not necessarily start. TD is playing like he couldn't make the D-League right now. Give the guys on the end of the bench a fair chance to contribute. That includes Novak.

It angers me that people use words like raw to describe him. Like what is Toney Douglas and Shumpert at point guard. Those guys are raw prospects at point cuz neittyher are very good at it.

Lin got shipped to the d-league and had a legendary game 28/12/11.....triple ****ing double. That is not raw. Its not a joke either. This guy is better than any point guard Cleveland played last night including the rookie from duke. He damn sure is better than Bibby and he has pure point guard skill and natural instincts. His handle is top notch as well. He's a legit 6'3" too.

Its complete bull**** that this guy is not playing. I personally think this kid can start for us and be the point guard for the future wit Shump at his side at shooting guard for the next 10 years

TD is a student of MDA's very complicated system and he trusts him to run it as designed.

I am not sure if Jeremy Lin has the brains to pick up this syastem.

Hahhahahahahhahaah.
