Guys ask for team ball and Lin didn't epitomize that, it was all about him and he started playing like it
What the heck are you talking about? You can like the run we are on as all of us do. But don't say Lin wasn't about the team. He epitomized the team and took a bunch of nobodies on a winning streak.
He brought basketball back to NY and made the game fun to watch again. It was pure team ball. Don't degrade the past cause the present is to your liking.
not Lin as a person, good kid and all, but the run was more about him and not Novak stepping up, Shumpert stepping up, Jeffries and Chandler holding it down inside, where was all their praise and glory. There would be no Toronto game winner without Shumpert, Novak opened up the floor for Lin to drive and run the pick n roll now Shumpert/Novak/Jeffries/Chandler are nobodies huh?, JR added in some good games
He didn't bring basketball back to New York, STAT did, the game was fun to watch it just sucked losing. What's pure team ball, I'm sick of that phrase, there's isn't 1 way to play basketball, you mix it up and create a system. I liked the run we had it was nice but over rated in so many ways. Carmelo took over when STAT and Lin went down and we won games and was that fun to watch, hell yeah, but he gets **** on because Lin is no longer here.
Our run now is team based not named after 1 guy getting all the glory. I hate **** like that in team sports similar to how Denver got rid of Tebow got a true winner and built around him and look at their success. We're better off without a PG who would look off STAT and Melo to feed Landry Fields and take off balance runners and get striped at half court and turn the ball over like a freshmen in his 1st varsity game
The future is bright, Linsanity bull**** is over, its about the KnicksTape, not Melo, not STAT, no one but the New York Knicks are this is what we've all been waiting for
enjoy the ride, real fans
