I AM posted : Melo is a great scorer but maybe he is the problem here. Lin may not be as skilled or a "Star" like Melo but Lin was inspiring his teammates to play on another level.

What a disaster it has been. Can't even tell if it's because Melo came back or something else.

Melo is the most overrated player in the NBA for the last few years for the salary he commands. His stats can mimic Kobe for the first 3 quarters but when it comes to crunch time he is a horrible choker. Id trade him tomorrow, if I was in the Knicks management, as his salary does not support his output.

Im not the only one tha feels this way, just google most overrated NBA player and alot of stories will be about Melo like this one.

I AM posted : I heard on some sports show the other day thought I have no facts that Nash was close to 4 TO's a game with Mike D. Lin is close to about 6? Once he gets in more practice and tape time he should be good. This is a shorten season there basically is no time for pratices.

I AM posted : He seemed nervous? Bright lights? He is still pretty much a rookie and people are bound to have bad games. It was one of the first full games I watched. This is what I observed:
- Knicks don't know how to play Defense together.
- They have no identity on Offense. Should they go inside? Should they let Lin do his thing? Run and Gun? Should we get to ball to Melo? They are not sure what they are doing at all on offense.
- Amare is washed up after 1 year?
- Heats came out to stop Lin.
- He has horrible handles, Mario Chalmers was just pressing him by himself.
- They need actual practices
This year has been a weird one due to the lockout. Teams are using games for practices and it shows. Melo and Amare should have stepped up last night. It was a big stage and probably the biggest game Lin has ever played in so far this year. Melo and Amare should have played a lot better. Is Amare mad about not being the man no more in NY?

bohratom posted : In the game against the Nets it seemed like Lin was hesitant in the first half and trying to dish the ball to Melo and let him work with it. Only in the last 8 minutes of the 4th quarter when Melo was having a horrible game did Lin start to take charge and push the basket. Should be interesting to see how him and Melo work the ball the next few games. If they do not jell in the next month or so then changes might be made.

BTW the amazing thing is Lin finished with 21 points, 9 assists and 4 steals which nba guards would love to average. That puts him in the top 3 guards scoring, top 3 guards for assists and top 2 guards for steals.... :D

I AM posted : I saw that as well. Poor choice of words. As for Lin I think we all know we are past the is this a fluke stage. The guy can play. It's just how consistent can he be now. Some people say it's Mike D's system. Well how many PG's have New York gone through since Mike D has been there? It's a little bit a both we can safely say.

From my understanding, Lin had been playing 2-guard since entering college. So, he does not have much experience playing point at a high level. He did play point in high school though. With his style of play and lack of experience, turnovers are not that surprising. The Knicks are either going to have to accept the turnovers, hope he cuts down on them, or (if they cannot accept it) just reduce his playing time.

Where did you read he was a 2 guard? He was the PG at Harvard.

loli posted : pfft. Mayweather is just some dumbfuck who can't keep his mouth shut. It's not just because Lin is asian but because we're talking about a guy who was cut several times, was going to end up disappearing after just a game or two rising out from the shadow and completely changing a basketball team 180 degrees. It didn't take Amare or Melo to bring confidence to the Knicks team and it's fans, it took a single nobody who was sleeping on somebody else's couch to do so.

It's a feel good story and goes to show that giving people careful consideration might bring out hidden talents scouts never would expect.

I AM posted : He does make a good point. I do not want this to turn into a racial thing, but I think this story would be even bigger if Lin was white. Ever since Larry Bird people have been waiting for the next White Hope. A lot of people are talking about Lin but if he was white it would get blown to proportions of Tebow. Old ladies at my work place would be talking about him like Tebow but they don't even know the story of Lin because he is...asian.

I totally lost respect for this thug. I don't follow boxing but i heard about how good he was and when he joined Dancing with the Star i thought he was cool.

But after seeing couple of episodes of him from HBO and couple with what he said about Lin, he is a total ass.

As much as I dislike Mayweather for his off ring antics and his unsportsmanlike conduct in ring (last fight), I hate to admit he does have a point. Would Lin be getting this much publicity, if he were black? Chinese Americans are not your stereotypical basketball players. I think that was the main reason he wasn't, initially, given any court time.

However, regardless of race, his is a feel good story. A kind of Rudy, who can actually play. In the end, however, it is about the basketball. His skills were on display against the Kings on Wednesday. The kid brought creativity and freedom to the Knick's offense that was lacking before.

anon posted : For real in that he will be in consideration for the HOF? Seriously doubt it. Exactly where he will fit is still up in the air as he cannot play like this forever. Once he cools off, is he a starter, backup, someone who bounces around the league, or just gone from the NBA in 2 years? Who knows, but I am thinking backup point guard for a few years in a system like New York's that fits his game.

Great story nevertheless. Somebody who is an Asian American, not even offered a Division I Scholarship, goes to Harvard, and was undrafted. Now he is putting up all-star numbers which is just amazing no matter how long it lasts.
