The good thing about Baron Davis' delayed debut is he can sit on bench and learn how to run offense watching Jeremy Lin.

OHHHHH SNAP! That was cold. I actually think Baron would be OK in this offense and had slowed down his wild shooting ways of the past.

Lin tho is tailor made for this offense. For those that think MDA had no plan for Lin, that's just stupid!!! You think he and the coaches and players didn't see what he could do in practice? You think when they sent him to get reps in the D league that was just to get rid of him? What sense would that make? CLERARLY they wanted to try and get the kid acclimated faster by getting him some run that he couldn't get in practice here with no days off.

Man! Nix,

If I am ever arrested I am calling you. You are the most tennacious person I've seen (or read) Like a partisan politician hitting all the circuits ramming that message home.

Big time team win................I still hate the fraud coach we have!!!!!

That fraud coach could turn Lin into a star and help turn the team around. I believed we needed a PG and now that we do, even without our big guns we put on a fight.

Lets not give all the credit to MDA for what Lin is doing. Lin is doing all this because Lin is great.

Breen said that D'Antoni told him he didn't know how what he had in Lin because with limited practice time he needed to get Bibby, Shump and Douglas reps. Lin caught a break but he is successful because of his character, work ethic and talent not some special plan that the coach had for him.

Don't be silly! No one is giving MDA the credit for the player that Lin is. Same as with Nash, who was already a very good player. However, this system allows a kid like Lin to be able to SHINE! It's just a good marriage. Can't we be happy we have both Lin and MDA that fit well together?

C'mon Nixluva, you were praising D'Antoni for his patience in developing him and waiting for the right moment to let Lin play. Not everything bad that happens to the Knicks has something to do with D'Antoni just as everything good that happens to the Knicks isn't because of D'Antoni. You frequently find a way to work MDA into any conversation about this team's improvement on any level. When it isn't balanced with even the slightest criticism it comes off as an infomercial.

You know the game and have great insights but you have too much emotionally invested when it comes to MDA, by your own admission. If you didn't reflexively defend D'Antoni at every turn, you wouldn't catch so much heat. Admitting he f'ed up once in a while doesn't make you any less of an admirer of his. Even HOF coaches F up from time to time, nothing wrong with pointing that out once in a while.

How can you say that MDA didn't handle the Lin situation perfectly when Lin is playing with confidence and succeeding? How do you know that he was ready sooner even tho he had NEVER practiced in the system and said that he needed his stint in the D League to get comfortable? Don't assume that it was automatic that Lin was gonna just ball when he got here.
