Anybody can have a bad game. It'll be his first. That said, Heat are playing impressive defense keying on pressuring Lin. I like the knicks toughness, though. With all the turnovers the knicks are only down four.

Lin's had a few bad games now. He's also made 65 turnovers in the 11 games that he's started (including tonight).
I think Lin is going to be really hurt by ESPN/NBA's yearning to a Tebow effect. I really feel like he's a decent player who was determined to make a big impact when he was called up to the league, but will realize that the NBA season isn't conducive to lengthy runs of huge stats from anyone who isn't naturally a supremely talented player. He'll likely be a starter for a while but I do expect him to blend in towards the middle of the PGs statistically.
