Jeremy Lin struggled against Rajon Rondo and the Celtics on Sunday, shooting just 6-of-16 on his way to 14 points and committing six turnovers.
This marks the second time in three games that Lin really struggled against a good defensive team (he also had an off-game vs. Miami), and it's definitely a cause for concern in New York. To be fair, Lin turned it on late and almost helped the Knicks complete the comeback, and his final numbers were sill decent. Continue to roll him out there with confidence, but owners should also be aware that Baron Davis could be earning himself some more minutes right now.

Jeremy Lin had 19 points, five rebounds, 13 assists, a steal and just one turnover while hitting 6-of-12 shots from the floor in a comeback win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Lin was fantastic again, taunting owners who benched him in a two-game week. Baron Davis came off the bench and played just 15 minutes, but added four points, eight assists and zero turnovers, and helped break the game open for the Knicks, who trailed by 17 at one point. Lin is clearly still locked and loaded as the starter, and despite Davis' strong line tonight, the minutes need to be closer to 25 per game before we're ready to buy-in.

Jeremy Lin took a shot in the nose in the first quarter of Wednesday's game and went to the bench to be attended to.
Blood was pouring from both nostrils but the good news is he stayed on the bench and didn't go to the locker room. we expect him to return soon, and will let you know if it doesn't happen. If the injury somehow turns out to be serious, Baron Davis would take over at PG for the Knicks.

Jeremy Lin was bottled up by a suffocating Heat defense as the Knicks lost handily on Thursday, with Lin going 1-of-11 from the field for eight points, six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and eight turnovers.
The Knicks struggled in all phases of the game tonight, so it's unfair to put this completely at Lin's feet, but he looked pretty bad at times tonight. The Heat employed an overplaying, pressure defense and both teams were the recipient of bad calls (and non-calls). The result was a Knicks offense that looked discombobulated, and while Melo (19 points, 7-of-20 FGs) wasn't a ball-stopper, the team is clearly struggling to integrate its new players. A game against a jacked up Heat team didn't help. Backup PG Baron Davis went 0-for-7 from the field in the loss, and looked like a shell of his former self. Expect the Knicks to bounce back after the break.

Jeremy Lin hit 6-of-11 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to 17 points, nine assists and two steals in Wednesday's easy win over the Hawks.
It's become clear that Lin isn't going anywhere and owners planning to sell high on him better get an extremely good package in return. Lin had four more turnovers tonight, but the rest of his game is top notch.

LeBron James says he's expecting to end up guarding Jeremy Lin "at some point" on Thursday.
It's unclear how much time LeBron will spend covering Lin, but some combo of LeBron, Dwyane Wade and anyone else Miami deploys will represent Lin's toughest test yet. And if he finds a way to light up Miami, the Linsanity meter might just explode Thursday night.

Jeremy Lin was dominated by Deron Williams in the Knicks' 100-92 loss to the Nets on Monday, but he still fared well with Carmelo Anthony (groin) returning as he scored 21 points with seven rebounds, nine assists, and four steals in 36 minutes.
Lin hit just 7-of-18 shots from the field (including two threes), but the good news was that he had just three turnovers. While this game would appear to serve as confirmation that Lin is going to hold his value with Melo back in the fold, we're all but writing off this game for evaluation purposes. The Knicks not only had to work in Melo, but also had newbies J.R. Smith and Baron Davis on the court tonight. They got whooped up by the Nets and lost their cool repeatedly, and with all the moving parts we'll give the entire team a mulligan. We won't be so kind after the next one, though.

Jeremy Lin continued his dominant play on Sunday afternoon, scoring 28 points to go along with 14 assists (a new career-high), four rebounds and five steals, leading the Knicks past the Mavericks.
It was simply a remarkable performance by Lin, who played 45 minutes in this one. He was clutch down the stretch, and even nailed three 3-pointers for good measure. He again struggled with turnovers today (7), but it's hard to fault him for that, given the fact that he plays so many minutes and almost always has the ball in his hands. 'Linsanity' is here to stay.

Jeremy Lin scored 26 points to go along with five assists and four steals on Wednesday night, but he also committed nine turnovers as the Knicks lost to the Hornets, marking the first time New York has lost since inserting Lin into the starting lineup.
Lin really struggled during the first half, as he committed eight of his nine turnovers in the first 24 minutes of the game. He eventually heated up, and was able to get to the free throw line yet again (8-of-10), but ultimately it wasn't enough. Carmelo Anthony (groin) may return on Sunday, so all eyes will be on New York to see how the two players will co-exist. We think things will work just fine, so keep riding the red-hot Lin.

Jeremy Lin has reportedly requested trademark protection for the term "Linsanity," according to a report from MSNBC.
This is not surprising, as the kid is going to be rolling in dough in the very near future. According to the report, he's also trying to protect his name, Jeremy Lin, as well.
