also you can't say that the system isn't perfect for Lin right now. so it doesn't matter if it's Chandler and three other guys. one of those "other guys" is Novak who is an incredible shooter (heard he averaged 50% from 3PT for the past few games at a high volume). Chandler who is an amazing pick and roll guy. Walker who can hit the three.
You're right, I had the season number there. But, if you're going to break down Lin to a smaller sample size you have to do the same for everyone else, which puts him only 0.2 ahead of Westbrook over the last 5 games.

Where did I say the system isn't perfect for Lin? It's actually pretty good, but he's still doing it without 2 elite players (I'd argue he's much better off without Carmelo) at the end of the day. The fact is this team was heading down the drain before he came on the scene.
