4. And, I Really Like Lin's Instincts

He really seems to have a feel for the game.

I think he'll have some defensive issues against the cream of the point guard crop, (remember Derek Fisher is 108 years old), but just the 3 quarters i've seen and the highlight stuff on NBATV, he has great instincts for the game.

He doesn't overthink, he sees the court, he knows who is going to be open, his shooting form is pretty good.

You're right: He's NOTHING like Tebow.

Last point: They're winning BECAUSE of him, not despite him.

That's the point. He's playing some fucking good ball and the team is winning because of him. madinmaryland Feb 2012 #16

Lin is what Tebow THINKS he is. rocktivity Feb 2012 #13
