Same for Harden and Westbrook, Iman is our only defender? If he can start Bibby which he doesn't have the ability to penetrate or defend, why can't he start Lin? In fact why didn't Lin and Balkman didn't come in earlier?
We were outmatched today, we all knew it was going to happen the way Gay looked yesterday. Durant and the Thunder is far better than Gay and Memphis, with the only exemption of Gasol...
Seriously, Lin is our best option at PG, he can only go right from what I see but he is the only player we have with quickness, can penetrate, and has a handle. Start him with Iman at Orlando plz..
+1 Lin and Shumpert would also create havoc on defense.
Lin was penetrating to the basket vs. 3rd string players. Hard to say if he can get to the hole vs, Westbrook, DRose, Rondo and the like...
Only one way to find out.
Word....its not like bibby or Td is doing that so well...
Actually did see TD go to the hoop last night and finish as well He drew fouls twice and hit his free throws. He was also 5-10 and scored 14 and had 2 steals.
I believe were talking about taking his man off the dribble and going all the way to the basket....we don't need his stats. Toney did get to the basket last night but he does that on plays where he has a open lane and no defender on him.

There is one thing that no PG on this team can do until BD comes back - run a PnR. If you can execute one SINGLE PnR play during a game you will play the next game during non garbage minutes. If you can execute two, just two PnR plays in one outing you will become our #1 PG . Why? Because our coach needs the PnR play executed for the offence to flow freely. That single thing makes a world of difference. I am very serious. ONE PnR play intitiated at the elbow with the roll player receiving the ball in stride so that they don't have to dribble. Amare will get really excited too if he sees you do that, but more important- you will get playing time afterwards
Dear Jeremy, Please run the P&R with me. It would benefit both of us, and it would also make Stat jealous. Your friend, Landry Fields

I really hope MDA gives Lin a chance today. Might be wishful thinking on my part but when Lin was in, MDA and the asst coaches looked like they were discussing Lin after each positive play he made.

Hope that's not it for Lin in NY. I still think given some PT and experience running the offense, he can contribute and be a real positive team player with a group that needs more unselfish play. I think he has the athletic tools and the work ethic to succeed in the NBA, and it would be great if it could happen for the Knicks.

I really thought Lin was going to get a shot today for some reason. With the weak DEF of guards in Nelson and Redick, this was one of his better chances to play.

Its 100% different for MDA to give Lin playing time in a game already lost, as compared to giving Lin playing time in a game that the Knicks had a chance to win until the last few minutes.
Until Lin demonstrates to MDA that he can shoot from the outside efficiently, he likely won't be ready for prime time.
