re: Mavs at Knicks (Lin 28pts., 14 assts., 5 steals, 4 rebs., & 7 to's.)

8 games and Lin has a higher career scoring game than Rondo took what 6-7 years to reach?

Uh, you said he cannot score and he can. Pretty simple. Rondo dramatically improved in his third season. He has had way more other guys to distribute the ball to, so they can get their points.

Not discrediting Lin at all, but I doubt his ppg will stay the same when Melo is back.

ETA: Lin is clearly a better shooter, but if Allen and Pierce were not to play for 8 games and the Celtics played 6 shitty teams and 2 good teams, then I would bet that Rondo would fare well in terms of points. How much? Not sure, but he would have quite a few nice games.
