Vic’s Picks: NBA, Jeremy Lin, Magic-Heat

by on Feb. 18, 2012, under Sports
  • First it was Tim Tebow and now it’s New York Knick sensation Jeremy Lin where the media and fans can’t seem to get enough. Lin jumped on the media scene a couple weeks back when he led a struggling Knicks’ team without its two star players, Carmelo Anthony (injury) and Amare Stoudemire (death in the family), to victories, while playing some of the best basketball for an individual this season. One reason Lin is having so much success this season is because of the offensive system he is playing in. Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni loves to win with pick and rolls. It worked at his time in Phoenix when Stoudemire teamed with point guard Steve Nash. Part of the reason D’Antoni hasn’t had the success in New York like he had in the desert is because Anthony’s game isn’t fitted for pick and rolls. He suited more for isolations, reading the defense correctly and if the defense double teams him he finds the open man or takes the advantage of the man guarding him. The rest of the season will be interesting to watch the trio of Anthony, Stoudemire and Lin coexist as they try to compete with the Eastern Conference top teams, Chicago and Miami. Watching the development of Lin’s game will also be important for New York as the more exposure Lin gets it also means teams have more opportunities for scouting Lin. For now, just sit back and enjoy the “Linsanity” as if the rest of the season is anything like the first couple weeks of his career it’s going to be an amazing ride.
