Couple of nitpicking points with the article but overall, very good analysis in the video. Noticed that something is amiss with Novak – either the delivery of the pass or something is affecting his confidence (perhaps that positive reinforcement when the PG gets the ball to you in the groove). I find it funny JR says Felton is less selfish than Lin, when Felton’s shot attempts are much higher than Lin’s.

Yeah, Melo didn’t play? Was the first game without him? What happen last season without melo and Amary? Who carried the team? who rescued it?

Two bogus statements in this article. First, Knicks never made an offer, so how the hell did Lin spurn them? Second, you intimate that Knicks didn’t play well because Melo was out, ignoring the fact that the Rockets killed them the first time they played in Houston when Melo was healthy. Try again.

Great work, as always. One nitpick I have is the following: “Raymond Felton started the game with a vengeance, clearly trying to establish himself as the better choice over Lin, who spurned the Knicks offer over the summer to take the Rockets starting point guard job instead.”

I don’t really think that’s a fair characterization, since New York told Lin to go out there and explore offers, promising that they would match. When Houston added the “poison pill” in the contract, the Knicks opted not to match, so I don’t think describing Lin as spurning the Knicks is really fair.
