Re: Feels like a Disney movie
There is a reason this kid wasn't drafted. While I love the "Rocky" storyline, he will return to the mean as soon as there is a decent scouting report. However, those #s may add up to more wins than Carmelo could ever muster up.
They talked about Carmelo's style last night - hold and shoot. Needs or wants the ball in his hands a lot. I guess you describe Lin as a distributor of the ball to whoever is open regardless of their name.
But, wow, even with a good scouting report - how do you guard him? I guess he is getting a few shots when the Knicks swing the ball. He sure is nailing those shots. Goes to the basket well - can handle the ball.
Kobe gets trapped and double teamed to get the ball out his hands when possible. That will be the next sign of respect for Lin once the scouting really gets serious on his game. If teams admit they cannot stop him one on one.
So, tonight's game - you guys got on the Knicks+7? Looks like it is down to 6 now.
