even clyde last night said that mda should get alot of praise for the having the gusto to play the kid when his job was on the line. lin and mda is a perfect marriage. they fit PERFECTLY for each other.
No offense to you, Clyde or anyone else, but there were a bunch of us here calling for Lin to start- that we had seen flashes in his limited garbage time minutes of being the PG that MDA needs for his system to work.
And much sooner than MDA ever got around to.
I'd give him credit if it happened much sooner.
With nothing to lose fans can call to play a bench player.
"Much sooner"!
ALmost laughable. Chronicle his KNick career and how many practices he had and his conditioning.
His limited minutes in junk time showed little.
MDA, the assistant coaches and trainers all should get credit.
If players were asking him to play and MDA then did so that is credit to the coach and players!
Credit to the Team!
And If MDA is the coach of this team then credit to him!
Anyone who says "No offense to Clyde" as if you knew better is comical. Anyone can say "give the kid a chance, what can it hurt!". Throw a kid into the fray before he is ready and you can ruin him.
Briggs called for Lin to start on 1/26. Coaching staff has been watching him since he got here.
MDA got desperate after injuries, and a set back to Baron Davis, and finally played the kid minutes.
What did MDA have to lose? Before he put Lin into the line up, this team was going NOWHERE!
I love the kid, and what he's done to this franchise, but honestly, its kinda pathetic that we've been saved by a guy that was this close to being out of the league and working for work with the rest of us bums.
