Jeremy Lin (knee) has been ruled out for Games 2 and 3 vs. the Heat, but if his knee keeps improving he could return for Game 4 next Sunday. "I was more encouraged by what I did [on Saturday] and less encouraged by how I felt [on Sunday]," said Lin. His desire to return is admirable, especially in the wake of Iman Shumpert's season-ending ACL tear, but our expectations are very low -- a return in Game 4 would be an absolute best-case scenario.
