    What's really surprising is coming into the draft, he was never coined as a pure point pg. One of the reasons he went undrafted was most of the scouts and draft analysts listed him as a combo guard. If people knew about his passing ability and vision, he probably would've been drafted in the 2nd round.

    Whatever, but Rockets had him and he showed talent in preseason. One of the biggest mistake Morey made since he became Rockets GM.

    But, you have to understand that PG is our most loaded position. He would've never gotten a chance to showcase his skills behind Lowry and Dragic and you have to remember that Flynn had more trade value in the preseason. This is good for Lin, he deserves it.

    The lob pass out to Novak leading a made 3 point was Eli Manning like, perfect throw.
    The kid is getting more and more comfortable to run the team on the biggest stage. You can see he is making a conscious effort to play under control, which means he is growing on the fly game by game. I thought he should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but he made up for it after the breather. I am also impressed how played with foul trouble. That charge drawn McGee was a gutsy move. All in all, the kid is a true pg with off-the-chart bball iq.

    First half, Lin has more assists than the entire washington team. Interesting thing is that when he played in harvard, he was more of a scoring guard definitely not a pure passer. He was also not a great shooter, but more of a cutter and could get to the basket and to the line. This guy is earning himself millions every minute on the court, after almost not making the league this year

    I don't think it was a mistake at all, Jeremy while a good player is at the right place at the right time. He landed onto a PG dependent system with no pg's to compete with.

    He's not better than Dragic imo, and if you shove Dragic into that system right now he would do just as well.

    agreed, dragic had a triple double game when he was starting last year. He would do well or any aggressive PG would iin the knicks system. If Lin was with us, he would be on the bench and not get a a shot so it wouldn't do us much good. KNicks took a desperation chance and it worked out. Now you got kid who is barely in the league starting for the biggest market team and also leading them to 3 wins while tearing it up without melo and amare at times. What a story

    That was disgraceful. Wizards should fold their franchise.

    Even when Lin turns it over, the ball flops around and becomes a Chandler dunk.

    Very impressive. Is Lin this good, or is Washington that bad? Or both?

    except for turn overs and occasional too much dribbling, Lin does not negatives on the floor.
