Anything can happen, but Jeremy Lin has shown great basketball I.Q. to this point. He plays the pick and roll to perfection. If he's stopped he hits the jumper. If the defense is quick to guard his jump shot, he's drove around them with an assortment of moves that results in a lay-up, a foul on the drive, or a thundering dunk by Tyson Chandler as he gets a timely quick pass from Lin.
5 games in a row with 20 plus points and the whole team playing as a team. You notice the difference when Lin is on the floor and when he's not. The Knicks are better when he's there, no doubt about it.
I just hope D'Antoni doesn't hurt this kid with too many minutes. He's playing too much. That's why he faltered at the end of the Grizzlies game. But, to his credit, he had enough to force a driving foul at the end to set up the game winning free throws.
I wouldn't doubt this kid.
