30 TOs in 5 games. He starts not shooting so well this is gonna get ugly.

6 straight wins, and that's without Melo. The turnovers will lessen with experience. The past 6 games he's been counted on to make all of the plays, and turnovers come along with making plays. His other numbers far outweigh the turnovers. I'd be cool with Bryce's turnovers if he averaged a 25/8 line.
Look at who he's playing with now. His supporting cast is garbage. He won't be handling the ball as much once Melo and Amare get back, and his turnovers will go down. At the very least he's a huge upgrade from Mike Bibby and Iman Shumpert running the point or Melo trying to play point forward.

Absolutely. I was doing trivia out at Blue Moon tonight, and checked ESPN.com and laughed out loud when I saw the headline about him hitting the game winning shot.

Yeah, cause he has been shooting well. TOs don't matter if you can make shots on the other ones. But that better keep up. When those guys come back the shots will go down so the TOs better go down too.
Not sayin, just sayin.
Obviously his turnovers will go down as his usage rate goes down.

Melo is a ball stopper, it will definitely slow down the hype train of Lin. I have to see if this continues before I think Lin is for real.

He also liked to lead the league in scoring.
Lin is more Tebow than Tebow is. Lin is a real underdog, where Tebow just makes commercials about being an underdog his whole life.

The Lin to Tebow comparisons don't really make that much sense.
Tebow was a really good college player and went to a football powerhouse.
Lin, I know nothing about his college career though I'm sure he was good but was not one of the best when he played and went to a school that has athletics at a distant second to academics.
Tebow was drafted, Lin wasn't.
Lin plays in a large market, Tebow doesn't.
Lin has had some impressive numbers and Tebow hasn't really.
So the comparison doesn't make much sense.

He has scored more points his first five starts than anyone in history, second on the list is Shaq. He's been doing this on a team of scrubs considering Melo and Amare have been out.
He may not be an MVP level player like he's been playing at but he is definitely for real.

I will judge that myself, but thanks anyways. And like you said, he plays on a team full of scrubs, minus Amare, so someone has to score.

Are you joking? You would have a point if he didn't go 5-0. Since he is undefeated that's complete nonsense. They were 9-14 BEFORE Lin for crying out loud. Do you realize he went for 27 points tonight including the winning shot at the buzzer?
Come on man! Even someone who's Basketball IQ falls in the special Olympic Range knows that's for real!

Are you joking? You act as though he won the game entirely by himself, like he just had 4 guys out there with him just watching.. lol.
He's good and I like his story, but I think your hard-on for him may be a bit much, brah. Where's he gonna get his touches once Carmelo the ball hog gets back?
