I don't know, I looked at it several times as I often pay attention to our players attitudes and body language but when Amare got into a altercation with a Spurs player I observed most players on the floor get involved in getting in between Amare and the Spur player (don't remember who), it looked to me as if this could have escalated to fight if not for the surrounding players intervention as Amare appeared to moving towards his opponent even as players and refs tried to keep the players separated.
I observed Carmelo kind of just look semi interested and not really get involved. I thought he should have showed more support for Amare. What was even more strange was watching Lin avoid the support for Amare and walk around the players on his way over to the bench for....I don't know what. Then it dawned on me that during this loosing stretch I often see him with this no expressionor no spirit look on his face even when he gets repeatedly burned on defense, gets out hustled or commits a turnover. Maybe he's just young or somehow becomes detached during theses times but it kind of concerns me. We are used to more emotion and personal expression from our players in the past, as fans we need to know they care, we neid to know that they are upset as we are upset when they fail or disappoint. What do you guys/gals think.
He has the potential to be a solid starting PG. Sees the court really well and can score. Obviously needs to cut down the turnovers. But I need most fans to understand that this is where the buck stops. He is NOT an all-star caliber guard and he CANNOT carry a team to a championship. Linsanity was a facade. Kid got hot at the perfect time against the perfect teams. Nothing more. There are some glaring holes in his game he needs to fix if he wants to continue as a starter though. Namely defense, lack of a pull-up or floater, and inability to go left. We can deal with 4-5 turnovers but those other things are inexcusable. Particularly the defense. Guards are running past him way too easy and he repeatedly gets caught behind screens (moving picks no longer exist in the NBA as far as I'm concerned). I've noticed that often times on defense he turns his body vertical in relation to the man he's defending. This is cardinal sin number one in defending. He needs to stay horizontal, get wide, and move laterally. Once you turn your shoulders vertically its curtains, you're trapped in the cross-over matrix.Originally Posted by Nash
whattup Knicks fans, I have a question to ask of you:
What do you guys think of Lin?
Obviously everyone has an opinion on the guy, but what do you as tried and true fans of the team think of him?

Lin definitely needs to step up the defense. But if anyone starts a "give Bibby or Douglas significant minutes Movement" please disassociate yourself with the team ASAP.
