What delusion are you living in? Lin averaged 35-36 minutes a game same as bunch of other PGs. Does it feel good to make stuff up so you can keep beating on a dead horse?

But that was a huge increase without any preparation.. I'm not saying that caused the injury, though.

Torn meniscus is a trauma injury and not a wear injury! It can happen due to a knee twist not just by normal running up and down.

Baron Davis has been a lot of things, but he ain't never been, and never will be, a savior.

Minimally, Davis is a functional caddie to Carmelo. At best, he would get the ball to Tyson Chandler where he can operate. Period.

If BDizzle lost any more steps he would be running in reverse.

A. Shumpert, slthough he can cameo advancing the pill, is not a lead guard. Has anyone seen Rick Brunson?

A. "auto-ignition for JR"? Can you please say that in basketball terms?

BDiddy entering the game mid-second quarter....oh look, it's two Clipper-esque lobs to JR-I-CAN-LOOK-DOWN-AT-THE-RIM-TOO Smiff. Then my Lakewood HS brightest son starts that whole "creating my own space nightmare" and blowing past people, and hits a 3 at the buzzer before halftime.

That clear things up for the A-Man?

The two may not be mutually exclusive. The more worn out the meniscus is, the more easily it will tear.

I am an attorney not a doctor like you guys but I believe that tired or worn muscles can lead to any injury being that the support system has weakened.

Agreed but he can get the assists totals up as well as his dismal shooting percentage we'd be much better off. I think he has some gas left in the tank and considering this week is a light as far as games it will give him a chance to rest the hammy.

With Lin gone, whatever remained of Mike D’Antoni’s spread-the-floor offense may go with him. This doesn’t mean the Knicks will necessarily be worse off, just drastically different and, to a purist’s eyes, much less aesthetically pleasing. - Howard Beck, NYT

The Knicks are 8-2 in their last ten and Mike Woodson is coaching his ass off. Howard Beck was leading the "woe is us" parade when Woodson was hired.

Aesthetically pleasing?

SSOL was an out of control, undisciplined hot mess.

Yeah, I said it.

Beat Indiana.

the only thing woody added was a few more post up lays for melo and amare.

MDA did the same thing, but TD would force the issue, waisting valuable seconds trying to get to melo, instead of going with play B.

Again.. i still don't relize why the media doesn't relize this is not going to run like a well oil machine after limited practice's and 11 new guys on a team..

Joking aside, I know walker kind of sucks but for some reason I do like him as a player- we need miraculous contributions from him and TD to get to the playoffs, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, but we can but hope...

Miami is looking a little more vulnerable lately...just sayin'.

nixluva - some forget that Bill Walker was an important component during Linsanity. So was Jared Jeffries. They will be back.

So long as Baron Davis "does no harm", by trying to get too cute, we can hang with our defense.

Get the ball to Novak.

This season has more twists and turns to come. Why? Because they give effort on defense each and every night. MarburyAnd1 wants it to be over because Carmelo is touching the ball too much and we all know that Publice Enemy Number 7 will never, ever lead a team anywhere but the crapper, right?

Wrong.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!"

It ain't over.

The Germans?

The number of people that haven't seen Animal House is disturbing.
