Since we downgraded at starting PG from what I initially expected, I'm going to pick us as #4 seed right now, while I initially had us battling and possibly winning #2 seed. Sad, but if we make it to the second round, I guess it's some progress.

What happens when Kidd goes down? First round exit.

What Lin has that Felton does not have is creativity. Kidd has it and if he was 8 years younger, I would not mind giving up Lin as much.

He is definitely better at "creating" turnovers

We will.

It's like a person coming to you and sayng, maaan Your X treats me like royalty, and you cant stand your x who treated you like sht.

thats experience, when you talk about winning a championship, it's good to have 1 or two young x factors, but we have enough..

let Lin got to houston polish up his game, and if he shines, will have more the enough $ grab him when his prime arrives

Honestly that's not enough to challenge the Heat (+Ray Allen, +Rashad Lewis draining 3s). Kidd and Camby at this age aren't really worth much. Basically the Knicks took a step back or are the same and the Heat got much better during the off season.

I think when the Nash deal fell through they decided to give up for the next couple years.

Only something like Dwight Howard, or CP3 could redeam a horrible off season.

Lewis I like, but he's been brutal the last 2 years, and he will hardly be on the floor with LB.

The heat can be beat, there run to the finals was against teams with no depth, injury riddle and a in experience thunder team..

Bulls and San An, back to back season finishing with the best record in the conference getting home court through out..hhmmmmm how that turn out..

having depth, health and expierence is what matters most..talent and home court, doesn't matter much at all..

I think felton can rejuvinet himself..Tony parker had the best season of his life.. last yr...

Camby battled tested (although I don't expected him to play more then 60 games) and DPOY..

Kidd still at 40 ranks among the top 10 true pg's, not that combo westbrook/rose type pg..they to will learn when there in there 30's..

Lin was a good piece to have, but exprience trumps skills anyday of the wk

spurs shoulda killed okc then... still, this team is do or die mode now. no more excuses. cant blame dantoni/walsh/isiah/larry/marbury/curry/etc...

Novak is still here!

Move on people, it's getting crazy around here with so much passion for a D-League player who was waived last year !

Exactly.

LMAO @ all of these so-called "Fans" panicking as if the frikkin' sky is falling on the Knicks just because Lin is gone.

Honestly, some of them seem to be so emotionally damaged that they may never get over it.

The level of butthurt going around after Lin left is worse than after Gallo was traded. It's too funny though, really!

I do think that Felton could be just as Lin for the Knicks. Perhaps even better because of his defensive ability and toughness (I'm not saying Lin is not tought but perhaps not tougher than Felton).

...but in the NBA where most athletes don't finish college, it would have been nice to have a Harvard grad as the starting pg of the New York Knicks.

Also if we had a lottery pick up #s during a winning stretch like that we would be gushing. This guy finally got a chance and lit it up. Seemes everytime he got "exposed" he came back with good efforts and good games.

Lin may be great, he may be good, he may be average, but he hit more clutch shots in 3 weeks than anyone else on our roster hit in 2 years.
