    Turnovers are easily corrected. He's got the intangibles. Can score when you need him to. Obviously Fields, Novak, Shumpert are not consistent scorers. Smith will help.

    And again...you're talking a handful of games. Did anyone think flip Murray was gonna be a star? He was just as quick and a better shooter.

    5.1 assist per game and 2.8 turnovers per game is HORRIBLE at any level for a point guard

    You know what's worse? His 8.8 assists and 7 turnovers a game over his last five is atrocious. But yeah you got me...his "high assists" numbers are great.

    Go ahead and take his scoring away when Melo and jr smith are playing. What exactly does that leave you?

    But must admit turnovers are really high. He's probably yet to see all the variable defensive coverages teams play on him, so with time maybe he will gain a better understanding of how to approach the game on offense.

    Big fukkin deal man.....Bad ratio due to forcing things which is correctable......it's like bashing a rookie qb because he has a few more turnovers than normal but has a ton of talent and shows flashes of greatness

    Scoring will not just go away......lol he will have a better assists number and slightly lower scoring due to less attempts

    Not sure how scoring won't go away when he's been taking the bulk of the shots down the stretch in these games and he won't even sniff those when Melo is back. Scoring will be cut in half. And for better or for worse the teams style of play will change dramatically when Melo is playing.

    If he CAN'T cut down on turnovers he will be useless to anyone.

    They very well could with any full lineup. The lakers are the only team they've played with a record over .500 over that stretch. I mean they just lost to the hornets. At home.

    We should wait and see before jumping to conclusions with melo......So far Lin has impressed the hell out of most of us, not sure why you want to keep Arguing that

    Facts:

    -Has lead his shitty team to a 7-1 record
    -Has put up monster stats
    -Has been clutch as hell
    -has made his teammates look better than they are
    -has ranked amongst other studs in the top 10 of PER since playing meaningful time

    I will stand behind these facts all day

    No more public relations for Lin. Leave the guy alone so he can focus on basketball.

    Once the scouting report gets around on Lin he'll be an average player at best. He makes a ton of bad decisions. He makes good one too but he's reckless. I think he'll fade away fast.

    His TOs in the First half were brutal, but you got to love the way he bounced back in the 2nd half

    People are going to nitpick at the smallest things, but he didnt have that bad of a game outside the brutal first 5 mins of the 1st Q

    Honestly every player in the NBA will have an off night. This guy had some turnovers but the rest of his stats for the night were very good still. Its not like he has a 4-20 shooting night like Brandon Jennings.

    After Knicks beats Dallas on Sunday, Linsanity goes berzerk again and all the hater has to wait until another lost.

    Lin has the most turnovers of ANY player In his first eight starts since the 1976 NBA/ABA merger.

    One off game?
