To make things worse his body clock still seems to be in China time- if you look at his twitter he seems to have been up since about 3am. Combine this with his love of jacking up shots, he could either have a disasterous impact on the game.

Q. Then again what are the alternatives?

A. JR gets out of bed after three hours sleep, having been out all night enjoying his first night in the big city. JR forgets to set his alarm clock, or leave a request for a wake up call with the hotel concierge at The Marriott.

His taxi gets stuck in light Sunday morning traffic and is stopped by security at MSG with no ID. On the way to the court for pre game shootaround, Lin spots JR at the service entrance and vouches for him. JR rushes to get dressed and misses all his shots in pre game warmup.

D'Antoni puts him in late in the first quarter and he drains 5 straight jumpers. Nothing but net.

Ha- you're right though, he is the kind of player who can just explode, regardless- hope he does that tonight, we need some scoring.

I haven't watched any of Dallas this season, not even any highlights, so I don't really know anything about them- I will say they are doing great considering their aging roster and sub-par season from Dirk. Vince usually comes to the Garden determined to have a big game- it'll be interesting to see Vinsanity vs Linsanity.

We need to raise our game- that 7 game win streak was great, but the schedule is much more difficult going forward, plus teams are extra motivated to beat us due to all the Lin hype. I think we need a real big game from Tyson (it seemed like he was holding himself back a bit the last game), to win this. It'll also be interesting to see how Lin reacts to the last game- will he rebound and play better, or will he wilt under the pressure and loss of confidence?

From what I've read over the last week or so, Dirk is playing at an all-star level again. Haven't checked the stats though.

He had a rough early-season but he has been an ANIMAL in February:

Guess it was a matter of time....

He's nearing 34, the short season will hurt the older guys most.

I can relate, can't get up and down the court like I used to but its hard to stop playing, even at my age.

This Just In (AFTER previous satirical/ but factorial post)

It is safe to say that J.R. Smith is excited to possibly be making his Knicks debut Sunday.

In a marathon session on Twitter late Saturday and early Sunday, the sweet-shooting guard did a series of posts and retweets that was still going at nearly 3 a.m.

The series of messages revealed little other than that he was very happy to be with the Knicks and that his jersey number will be 8.

Plenty of Knicks fans started harassing him, telling him he needed to go to sleep considering the 1 p.m. game time Sunday, to which Smith took offense. - Ben Hoffman, NYT

Ouch! Let's hope that TO stat doesn't hit double figures. Against a hot Dallas team, the Knicks margin for error is that much smaller.

It would be great for Lin to have another career game today, though.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Not with Shawn Marion guarding Lin and shutting him down.
