Flash in the pan.
17 turnovers in the last three games. Shooting below 10% from three.

Agree, Chicken. I can't really root against this kid.

You can dismiss the turnovers due to youth and his situation (living on his uncles couch, without a contract, to leading a **** Knicks team).
I don't know if you can dismiss 36 points against the Lakers.
How is he doing this with no other good offensive player on the team? Once he gets Amare **** is going to be over. Melo might **** it up though.

He had 38 pts and 7 assists. Yea his turnovers are high but they haven't resulted in losses. The Knicks are 4-0 since he started getting major minutes. When you think about it? It is an amazing story. I will cheer for the kid. He is very humble always giving credit to his teammates.
I would shop Carmelo. Never been a big fan. Basketball is a team game and he is not a team player. He worries more about his own shot. Can you imagine when he comes back and if the Knicks start losing. He will want out of NY because the fans will brutalize him.

Did this guy just hit this ability level or did the Warriors simply not see it?

I think it's just a great example of how critical the right situation can be for certain players. I also think it's a case of this kid making the absolute most out of a "once in thousand lifetimes opportunity." It's hard to imagine that he won't come back down to earth at some point, but he can definately play.
Super Lintendo,
He's fun to watch. He made some pretty good shots against the Lakers, but I haven't seen his other games.
I hate to say it, but he's even better than Jimmer.
I agree though that the team will start losing again when Amare and Crymelo are back.

From what I've heard, there was a lot of fanfare there (or something like that) and Lin ate it up, failing to focus more on his game. He was cut and supposedly learned some humility.

Interesting, and he's really motivating himself with it. I remember how the GS fans thought of him- more of a mascot. They would whoop and holler when he would make an appearance. And a Harvard alumni- this guy man...
so who's gonna be watching the Knicks tonight?
OMG
ya'll missed a good one

I think even if he comes back while Lin is still hot and they keep winning but Lin's production drops, there will still be problems.

Yeah, you're probably right.
