It destroys your argument.

What? No, it doesn't. Just because it was "strongly" considered and a day to day decision doesn't disprove anything I said. The reason it was a day to day decision was because he wasn't absolutely ready to come back. So, the team doctors and Lin had to weigh the potential benefits, having Lin play in 1 playoff game when we were already down 3-1, against potential risks, Lin re-injuring his knee, possibly irreparably.

It would not have been considered if it could have caused irreparable damage to him. At that point it is all highly precautionary.

you are convinced that it was the doctors call? I did not see that. I thought it was a bit of the Knicks brass but mostly Lin's call.

He had a lot to lose, we all no that. But I think it was mostly financial. Again, he ain't dumb.

he was day to day but the doctors never cleared him. besides Shump was down... Tyson was limited... Amar'e was limited... what chance did they have either way?

You are comparing Apples to Figs.

You don't know that the injuries had any similarities. According to that logic, nobody should come back from injuries until 2 months after they are perfect.

You don't know that the injuries had any similarities either, you are just repeating something Frank Isola can't let go.

And it was 5 weeks not 2 months.

How do you know I read Frank Isola's article? You are assuming way too much.

What other writer even mentions the 85% comment, let alone harps on it as much as Isola.

Well I did not read it and I don't care what pct it was. I just have a hunch that it was a business decision. And probably a smart one for him.
