Suddenly, it’s Jeremy Lin Fever

and he just dropped 28 on utah tonight.

we still love Lin here in Oakland, CA! Glad to see he is getting some playing time and showing what he can do.

J Lin can create plays and he's also have a sharp eye on a fast break situation. On top of that, he can penetrate when given the opportunity.

Jeremy Lin: Mind over muscle =)

Intelligence is the most overlooked quality in the basketball player. Teams emphasize athletes who can run and jump, but I'll bet on smarts every time.

28 points 8 assists and 2 steals tonight. I'm slowly becoming a believer and I'm not even a Knicks fan. Props to this kid. We'll see how he plays against Miami, OKC, Bulls, etc.

J. Lin is the Asian version of Steve Nash. Glad to see he finally get that chance. The Knicks should do better now.

haven't watched basketball since mj retired. guess i just turned into a knicks fan! =)

It would be difficult to expect Lin to be a high scoring guard this early in his career if ever but he shouldn't have to be. Most nights if he were at best their fourth or fifth best scorer that would be enough. The best and most important stat line for himself as a point guard and the Knicks in general were the 7 assists with only one turnover and two steals. Combine that with his decent defensive job and he proved his worth right there.
People need to keep it in perspective and not get too carried away. His greatest worth is in making his teammates better. That will inject more enthusiasm night in and night out than anything. He may still get abused some night on defense even as he get more experience. He does not have great foot speed. What he has is good ball speed and understanding of the game.
He knows how to use screens, understands passing angles, misdirection, change of pace and use of fakes. He also understands spacing and has good anticipation on both ends of the floor which actually makes him look quicker than he really is. All he really needs is to handle the leadership and direction of the offense and disrupt the same for the opponent like he did the other night and the Knicks will be infinitely better for it.
I wish the kid well but I hope fans don't expect a DRose. That is not what you need. Don't turn on him, Shumpart or Fields when they have a few bad nights. They are still very young. Even the best have them but they should be fewer and farther between if Lin plays that needed facilitator (off.)/disrupter (def.) role.

I want to see this kid play more and i'm not a Knick fan.

I have never been a Knicks fan. I had never been to a game at the MSG for the Knicks although it is super convenient for me. Last couple of years, NBA has become kind of blah for me. But now with Lin, I have renewed interest. I am going to get me some Knicks tickets.

Lin dropped 28 points and could have easily had 15 assists if those idiot team mates knew how to finish easy layups. Instead settled for 8 assists 2 short of a double double. The kid is for real and plays like Nash. Dantoni must have sold his soul to find him.

Lin seems to be always thinking on the court. Looks like he has a great basketball IQ.

How many basketball talents have languished in the Bench becoz of blind, basketball-ignorant coaches? Imagine this boy sitting night in and night out in the Golden State Warriors bench? 'Tupidity at it's worse for his ex-coach!

The one guy that the Warriors should have not gotten rid of. I can only wish Jeremy nothing but the best because it seems like he made a name for himself on NBA's biggest stage at MSG. He is going to get PAID!!!

Sux Rockets dropped this kid cuz they have no room on roster. Better to have dumped Tha-beet instead.

i tuned into the knick game for the first time in twenty years to watch this harvard guy.
did i miss anything worthwhile in the last two decades?

he's got high IQ when he play...he is like john stockton simple and effective

At least our KNICKS have the most brains among two-guard tandems in the whole of NBA! Messrs Mensa and NBA!

Can't beleave what I've hearing about this untapped resource. Lin did get some quality time last year at Golden State and he played average, not great as of lately. NY was sending him back to the D league and they admit this. He finally just started playing well when his back was against the wall and he started hitting a good stride. That happens when you start playing with confidence. Happens to a lot of players, this one just happens to be one of the very few Asians that have played in the NBA.

I said it before and got five thumbs down for saying Jeremy Lin should get more time. It was after the game Carmelo had only one point. Jeremy played eight minutes and had 8 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and two steals. I said NYK should play him more, he's worth a shot and would put fans in the seats and in front of televisions around the globe. Five thumbs down, now all the sudden everyone loves him. I wish him the best of luck, wish the Mavs had made a better offer for him when he was on their summer league squad!
