We talk about everything associated with the Knicks, past, present, and future..It has always been the case and will always be the case....We even talk about Ewing and Oak, you going to complain about that too??

Yeah. We all need to relax a little. Lin is still an impact on this season. It's one thing to keep saying he is good, when he clearly isn't. It's a good thing to remind all the posters that called anybody associated with Knicks management every bad word in the book, when all signs are pointing to Lin not living up to expectations and Felton already surpassing them.

We also got Kidd and brewer from the bulls for pennies on the dollar.

Net fans also complain all the time about his body language and lack of leadership. Very Marburyesque

Knicks would be championship contenders with Deron Williams. The guy is NASTY.

The problem and silliness in comparing him to players like Nash and Stockton is the efficiency number are not even close.

Nets weren't that healthy Brook broke his foot early on, even D-Will missed some games himself. I do think he is overrated in terms of top point guards if you factor both sides of the ball and not sure if he's a true "Max Player" but I'd take him over both "Max Players" we have.

Deron averages 17.6 and 9.2

Just Sayin. 9.2 is pretty damn good.

Lol @

- certain people on this board determined to knock the kid down at every opportunity. what their motivation is i have no idea. the kid was the most fun thing we've had as knicks fans since how long. if he's not with the team anymore than why not wish him good luck and leave it at that vs. feeling the need to **** on him every chance.

- certain people on this board who KNOW what he will or won't become.

I don't know if he'll be able to play at an NBA starter's level over 82 games. I hope he does though. If he fails it might feel food for certain people to say "see i told you he sucks!"

Other than the 'I told you so!' factor, why, as a Knicks fan, would you be actively rooting for this guy to fail? I just don't get it.

"LOL at certain people"? Talk about being passive-aggressive!
In my case, I've been a critic of Deron's play for over a year.

This is true.

To me, it also shows how hard it is to be efficient on a bad team especially if you are pretty much the only option.
