It's going to be interesting to see how this Lin kid plays with Melo and Amar'e.

 

[elcheato]

Amare will help him immensely, but Melo will not

 

[Hurricane Season]

He'll have to average 45 a night to make up for their defense though.

 

[RipCity32]

Not enough balls to go around lol.

 

[elcheato]

The Knicks probably should have just held onto Danilo and Chandler.

 

[Yankees2772]

Felton and Mozgov too.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Maybe Melo is realizing "Hey, if I run around without the ball and get open shots, I can score baskets easier".

Nah, that's too easy. He's gotta do 2 on 1 isolation moves. Make it more of a challenge.

Jeremy Lin was supposed to come back to earth last night against the Lakers... if 38 Points, 7 Assists is coming back to earth, he should do it a lot more often. If he outshines Rubio tonight and puts up another good stat line, I will believe this guy is the truth (not that I don't already) and Amar'e should do well with him on Monday because the Knicks needed someone who could PnR with STAT.

Damn Idk what Jeremy Lin's potential is anymore. This dude has just been flat out amazing and he just keeps on improving as he continues to play. This is EXACTLY what we needed on the team a good PG who can distribute and get to the rim. Im so excited to see how he plays with Amare and Melo.

Lin vs Rubio today.

Ball Hog or not he's better in the lineup than Bill Scrub-City Walker.

 

[DJT]

I just want to know who here called Lin a "scrub" prior to last week.

Now look at his fan-base.

 

[Yankees2772]

Not for a team he isn't. He kills the flow of offense, is a complete non factor without the ball, and shows no heart on defense. I'd trade him for a SF who can hit 3s and play defense right now.

 

[NV]

Kings/ Suns tonight.

Kings have been playing much better as of late, and coming off a big win against the Thunder.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Well maybe D'Antoni can grow a pair of balls and bench him for 2 or 3 games for not buying into the system. He bitched and moaned that he wanted to play here, now prove it.

And a lot of times he "disrupted" the flow, was when he played Point Forward or they decided not to run a play in the 4th quarter and just hand him the ball every possession. Now that they actually have a PG, maybe shit will change.

this is the best thing i've ever seen

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Is that a LeBron James Cavs jersey?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Yeah?
