Play Lin

@JalenRose tweeted this:

BTW...ANYONE that says "I knew" or "predicted" that Lin could perform at this level is clearly not being honest #NBA

Here's my tweet back to him:

@jalenrose You're actually dead wrong. Knicks fans have been calling for linsanity for months. We saw the talent! http://www.knicksonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11832

I'm not disagreeing people saw potential in Lin. I'm saying you're making it out a lot more than it is.

I took his "perform at this level" comment as meaning he couldn't be a decent NBA starter. I don't think anyone is crowning him as an all-star or thought he'd be an instant all-star. The only game that really surprised me was the Lakers game. Lin's performance was insane. I had a feeling that he'd be a 15 and 8 guy and he probably will be just that when Amare and Melo get back. Rose made it sound like it's such a surprise that he can even be an NBA starter imo.

I see what you mean I took "play at this level" to mean average 28 and 8 not "this level" as in the NBA.

I don't think Lin played that well tbh. Better than Douglas? Maybe, but he doesn't look like he can run this offense either.

6 assists in garbage time don't mean much, I wouldn't read too much into it. He tries to be a passt first PG, that much is obvious but he's so limited talent-wise...I honestly don't think he can make it in this league. His effort and commitment are great, but I don't think that's enough in his case.
