Lin goes to a kid's camp admitting his faults in a very adult manner, and people are ragging on him? Are you guys for real?

Melo this, Melo that. Oh please, you want to talk about not living up to your to salary then look no further than Amare and Tysoft. Amare doesn't even ****ing play and you are are talking about melo not earning his salary. But regardless of all the actual overpaid bums on the Knicks you choose to disparage Melo. Hmm, I wonder why? I feel bad for some of you guys, you worry over melo more than LaLa does...

gunsnewing wrote:Melo is not the Knicks problem. PG is the problem. Lin is more talented than Felton. He is better at getting the overpaid player like Tyson involved

I disagree on the last part. Tyson touches stays relatively the same regardless the pg, especially in the playoffs. I think the best he did was with Felton in Charlotte.

Better than not caring.

Rockets better than knicks now?

but, most of the guys bitching and moaning about the state of the Knicks are saying that being good isn't enough, that you all want a chip but, then to support your argument you say the Rocketts are better now? They didn't win it last season, do I see them winning this upcoming season. Until Linn does more than make a cameo appearance in the post season, until his play makes a difference WHEN IT MATTERS, then he and his supporters better get used to threads like this.

Houston got potentially an 8 to 10 year window to build a championship team when they acquired a 23 year old franchise player with only 3 years of 6th man minutes and wear and tear.

Is Harden only 23? When talking franchise players, the only people on that team that fit the bill are Harden and Howard. The rest are role players, some of whom can't even consistently play their roles

i was fired up during linsanity and i dont consider myself a hater. But lin could have played in the heat series and chose to not play on the usa select team because of his upcoming free agency. A lot of guys have come back a lot faster from that surgery. Not sure why his rehab is still a topic. Also, i would love to know if he is recovered from his chest injury. I think the injury in the nba is unique to jeremy. With parsons,howard, and harden lin has a a lot of talent to make a point guard look good. Its his job to lose if morey cant move his contract.

if ANY current Knick had pulled that crap, those here would be screaming for him to be off the team. Hypocrites.

Lin actually was on the team at the time and most people here still wanted him back.

And many of us were calling him out for it while his cheerleaders brought his humble pie act and will forgive him for just about anything.

I doubt it was a majority defending him and many of those who did come across as bunch of potential stalkers.

not sure about the heat series. It seems others came back sooner. He also sat out from participating on the usat seletc team because he didnt w ant to jeopardize his free agemc y. When you arent
playing because you are thinking about your next contract it is generally looked at in a negative light. a

Oh and Lin is 25. Felton is 30. Lin sees the floor like a PG should

The End.

As much as I like asik, he had a case of the fumble fingers, wait till lin is throwing passes to Dwight who not only will catch the passes but finish... should be interesting... Houston will be an interesting team to watch..
