"There’s something a bit precious about Linsanity right now, particularly as a national item of interest. The veering-toward-uncomfortable, occasionally overcompensatory awe of pundits and fans. The slight, slight, slight condescension that all this amusement suggests. Wednesday night was the first time during this unlikely run when Lin began to seem “normal” — which, in this context, isn’t a bad thing. The pace of last week was unsustainable, and, for all the talk of perennial “underestimation,” he was simply never this good at Harvard. His game has evolved: He’s starting to develop that Matrix-like vision of the court, he’s grown stronger and plays with a lot more swagger now. The novelty is fun, but for the Knicks’ sake, works-in-progress like Wednesday night, when seven players scored in double digits and Lin hit a career high in assists, are better. New York doesn’t suffer the cute."
