Come on man, you gotta be kidding me. Lin has averaged 27.2 points a game since he became a starter. He's put up 28 against Deron Williams (Nets All-Star), 38 against the Lakers (with 2 7-footers), and 23 and 10 assists against John Wall (#1 overall pick). All of those guys should know how to defend him without looking at much tape. They're either All-Stars or people rated a lot more highly than JLin.
This argument that he's doing so well because people haven't seen much about him really doesn't give him enough credit. People haven't seen much tape about Andrew Goudelock or any other guy in the league who doesn't get much playing time. How come they're not burning the Lakers for 38 points?
In tonight's game vs. Toronto, he had 27 points and 11 assists. He also hit the game winning 3 pointer at the end. He's been the biggest story of the NBA and you're saying coaches aren't prepared to stop him? No way. They can't stop him. The fact that he's been able to do this consistently means he's got skills. I don't think you can say he's having a lucky month either, unless you want to say he's been having the luckiest month in NBA history.
Here's a story about tonight's game:

And here's a video of him hitting that sick buzzer-beating, game-winning 3. Look at this shot and tell me it's all luck.
