Gave it 2 weeks to see if he'd fizzle... but he torched my mavs last night for 28pts and 13 assists. A bit of a turnover machine but that aside he's the real deal.
This moment is gonna be a classic forever.... only needs 2 to win, ballers up and nails a 3

No moment is classic when its over the Raptors. If you ever consistently watched Raptor games, you'd realize that happens all the time lol

We'll also see what happens to his numbers once Melo returns.

well they've won more games with lin than with melo so the public is going to demand lin and the public wins in new york.... period.
Lin will remain the starting point guard the rest of the year.
My guess is Melo returns to the 3, amare 4, and chandler the 5.... and JR Smith will knock fields out for the 2.
I think his points will go down with melo but i think he'll be a 12-15 assist a game player. Which is a star in the NBA.
dude is legit
PS: an iso 3 pointer at the top of the key with time running out is classic versus anyone as its a one on one killer instinct point in time

yea i cant believe how well he's played over the past couple weeks. thought for sure those first few games were just a fluke but he actually knows what hes doing out there. those two threes he hit over dirk and marion last night were textbook

Yea he definitely seems like a great player. Coach better be mad at him for taking
the risk with that last three though Or am I missing something?

he's a point guard so they may have been given the go ahead if he felt he had it

in the games he's gone less of a scorer he's gone double digit assists
if mello is in the game its going to be more run and shoot ala phoenix suns
its all d'atonie's scheme

sooooo many ppl on his nuts big time
he is sparking some excitement back into the nba though, i'm sick of the superstars just dominating the spotlight. Although i don't follow basketball anymore, it's about time someone fresh jumps in.
I miss when the Raptors had reputation, remember T-Mac and Vince Carter dominating together ? good times
Or am I missing something?
