We were down on the court for warmups when the Thunder played the Knicks here. Lin walked past us twice and I wasn't sure if he was a player or a coach working out with them at the time. It's crazy he's the talk of the sports World now. Apparently, the Knicks were considering releasing him last week. Great story. I hope he keeps it up.
Good finish for the road trip for OKC tonight. I was worried about this 8 game stretch and I'll definately take 5-3.
21-6 when we've played 17 of 27 on the road. Not bad at all. If we can cut down turnovers watch the **** out.

Except that Lin is actually fun to watch and I'm really enjoying watching a kid make a team better for the right reasons, than watching ballhogs who don't move the ball around demand attention. Tebow is brutal to watch.
It's going to be very interesting to see how Melo plays with Lin. Amare is going to be in seventh heaven--Lin has been an artist at the pick and roll, and Amare is going to eat other teams alive with it. Melo... I think he sets the team back big time if he doesn't change his style big time. But then... if Lin and Melo can play well enough to send the team to the 4th quarter, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking Melo to start taking over.
