lin really makes d'antoni look good

You just watch and you’re in awe,” D’Antoni said. “He held it until five-tenths of a second left. He was pretty confident that was going in, no rebounds, no nothing. That ball was being buried...
 
     its really funny how the fortunes of the knicks have changed overnight,they practically have stumbled on a gem that was kept way deep down a hole..be it as it may, whatever positive streak they are in right now, luck played more significantly on the knicks, not d'antoni's smarts..i'd probably count melo's injury as a blessing rather than call d'antoni a genius for tapping lin onto the playing court..this is basketball serendipity at its finest...

I think it could be the other way around. In D'Antoni, Lin has a coach that will let him make mistakes and not yank him. How many coaches in the league would've given Lin that amount of leash? I know for a fact Doc and Pop (remembering how hard he was on Parker) wouldn't.
