    Jeremy Lin Injury Puts the Brooklyn Nets in a Point Guard Bind

    The Brooklyn Nets have a problem for the next two weeks, maybe more: Their best player and pretty much only point guard, Jeremy Lin, has a hamstring strain, a tricky type of injury. Short term, the team is in a rough spot because they don’t really have natural point guards to fill up the spot.
