No doubt. The Lin and Landry Show would win an Emmy.

nice..your waisting your talent's..lol

Im still against him starting, but in 20 minutes, he had 6 ast, I'm not sure TD has posted that at all this season..

Knicks1248 - Lin had 4 assists in only 6:07 of play last night.

Imagine if he played 15 minutes with Tyson and Amar'e.

Yup. Both Amare and Tyson are incredible at setting picks in the PnR. He would get 10 assists in the first half alone. I see teams sagging to the roller and laying off Lin to make the mid-range shot. This is what the other team tried to do in the D-League game that Lin had a triple-double on. That is the reason he also had 28 pts. Lin made the other team pay.

To speculate that he can start and then get frustrated when he doesn't is not the sign of a mature thought process. We don't know what they see in practice and we shouldn't second guess based on conjecture. I too would like to see him start but I am happy to defer the decision making to the people entrusted with that task. To reach my own conclusion based on bits and pieces observed during garbage time would be incredibly myopic.

our fear is if he isn't even getting minutes, before Baron Davis is going to come back, he might not ever get a shot.
we understand it starts with being in a rotation, yesterday was a perfect chance for him to see those minutes.
he deserves more than garbage time, as he is the closest player to a PG, running Dantoni's system, tries to attack the basket to create easy shots, and has the most speed and quickness with a dribble/ high bball IQ (TD might be physically faster/quicker but he doesn't have the mentality, smarts, or deceptiveness that Lin has)

we might get by with Iman/TD as our PG with a horrible defensive team but they are not capable of being that player, even if Baron Davis comes back healthy *we don't know if he would get hurt again or fully recover this year. Iman should get some minutes at SG at PG with his defensive abilities, but a healthy Davis + Lin would still be preferred offensively.
Lin looks to always push the ball/tempo, unlike TD, and he should automatically be playing before Bibby at this point.
If Bibby continues to get minutes while Lin doesn't get in the rotation, I would be extremely pissed.

Yes, we are really that bad at the PG and with a player with speed/quickness/handle and penetration.
I also think Fields would benefit from playing with Lin greatly, as their styles compliment each other.
Jordan should also be playing over JJ when JJ is playing with Amare at center, especially when we face legit big men.
Novak/Balkman should occasionally get a shot over Walker.
We should motivate our 3rd string players and nothing compares to getting REAL minutes with a REAL rotation, to give them a sense of how they can continue to work on their games and further develop. It can also send a message to the players already in the rotation to not slack off and continue to work hard if they want to keep their jobs.
I think the 3rd string players deserve some motivation and a confidence booster for their hard work in practice and horrible play of the team for the month...

I agree with this it will hurt us especially in a short season to play only 8-9 guys every game. I'm telling you these guys will be gassed by the end of the year and you will have no choice but to play the Novaks & Balkmans and we will get swept in the playoffs like last year

Indisputable evidence why Lin and Landry would work to the Knicks benefit.

smakedddog - waiting on Baron Davis is not a solution

One of the most overlooked assets is FEEL for the game...

"One thing that Lin does do exceptionally well is fill up the stat-sheet in every way possible. Besides being a terrific (and extremely efficient) scorer, he generates a large amount of rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, and beyond the numbers seems to have nice toughness and a very good feel for anticipating plays and being around the ball." - January 15, 2011

Having TWO versatile guards - 6'3 Lin and 6'8 Landry - who have a sense of place on the court, will make things easier for Stoudemire and the other bigs.

Guaranteed.

Take Toney Douglas. please.

Agreed- I even if Lin isn't as good as you think he is (and I'm not saying he isn't- he's looked pretty good so far), it is physically impossible for a pg to play worse than Toney Douglas.
