hate Melo and love Lin but, tell me who did Lin make better besides Novak and I think he (Novak) would have shined regardless once he got playing time. He didn't make the game easier for Amare or really anyone else. He didn't raise anyone's game but his own. I like the Kid but we need a point guard who makes those around him better or, at least gets easy shots for others. Unless you were a 3point bomber, you weren't going to look good playing with Lin. Sure, dude was good for 25points in Mikes offense which pads your stat (something guys here have been saying for years).

I hope he loves it out west because he's going to see the A+ game of some of the best guards in the league and, he better learn to go left.

Novak
Jared Jeffries
Tyson Chandler
Landry Fields
Iman shumpert
Heck even JR Smith got a little

Amare and Melo hardly played while Lin was on his tear. Im not sure how Knick fans are not remembering this stuff.

It's amazing how quickly it's all forgotten. One of the best stretches of play from any Knicks player of the last 12 years and Stephen A says it didn't happen so it didn't happen.

Yea , we could have won it all with that line up.

Not the point. At 23yrs old, Lin was going to get better. As Nash did. As Rondo did. De Nile ain't just a river in Egypt.

Are you going on record saying that Lin will be a flop in Houston?

I think thats the problem that the Knicks have. Lin needs to control the ball completly in order for him to work. they dont want to play Dantoni ball anymore. So your left with a player that cant defend and has a below average Jump shot for an extra 50 million dollars. Im not saying Lin isnt a nice player but for this Knick team he isnt going to worth whjat they are dishing out

why bring Melo into this conversation?

lol
Melo?? Why I thought he was talking about Amare!

A cruel turn of events for MDA, though, who finally had someone on the Knicks to run his style of offense. He must have felt vindicated in some ways, and his final attempt to get Anthony traded, before he himself walked away, may have been influenced by the success the Knicks had when Amare and Anthony were not playing, even if some of the victories were against less than stellar teams.

As for the initial question, this is tough. My interest in the NBA has been very minimal basically since Ewing rode off into the sunset. Knicks were still my team but I barely watched because there was nothing going on to get me excited. Jeremy Lin completely got me in and I was excited to see Lin and excited the Knicks had him. It was a great combo for me. i even watched the entire NBA Finals for the first time in the 21st century. Jeremy Lin going to Houston is tough. I don't hate the Knicks, but I hate this move, which seems to be a commitment to mediocrity, so my enthusiasm for the Knicks is very lukewarm at best right now. i can't think of a team I could be any more indifferent or disinterested in than the Houston Rockets. So it's unlikely I jump on their bandwagon. I don't know where I go from here as a fan. I was way into the Finals, so maybe I just sort of watch everybody and see how things develop. But the Knicks have been living off of the brand name for over 10 years now and its disheartening that we finally got a spark and management let it go.
