Linsanity Takes His Talents to South Beach
For the past month, Jeremy Lin has taken the NBA by storm in the Big Apple with his outstanding and exciting play that has come out of nowhere. He's gone from being cut by the Golden State Warriors to playing in the D-League to starting for a playoff team. He faces his biggest challenge thus far as the Knicks take on the Heat in Miami tonight. The Heat are at the top of the standings as the trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, & Chris Bosh has really begun to click. The Heat have won 7 games in a row by 12 points or more. Carmelo Anthony has returned for the Knicks and the mini-storyline of the "feud" between LeBron & Carmelo gets reignited as well. It has all the hype in the world and God knows I'll be watching, but I'm pretty sure the Heat are going to demolish this Knicks team. Miami thrives on turnovers, often taking them to the house for monster breakaway slams. This spells bad news for Lin who has 59 turnovers in his first ten starts, which is the most of all-time for any player. I imagine Lin will have 8-10 turnovers in the game, leading to 16-20 points on breakaway dunks for Wade & LeBron. Not to mention Lin will have LeBron guarding him for some portions of the game, he'll be lucky to break 15 points I think. All in all, this game has all the hype, but once it gets down to thee actual playing...the Heat will win by 15+ and we'll all be bored by halftime.
