Just how good is the question. Lin NEVER got a chance to practice with the starters and they had very few practice days. They had to send him to the D league and then have Lin practice on GAME DAYS in 3 on 3's. A Headcoach knows what's going on with is players.

It's totally ridiculous to think he really didn't know about Lin. MDA had worked him out and really liked him before the draft. I'm pretty sure that MDA was consulted with the options of available PG's they could pick up and i'm sure he was a positive vote for bringing in Lin! I have a thread with PROOF of this in actual statements from Lin and players. You think MDA didn't assign Kenny Atkinson to work with Lin as he did?

I think it is very interesting that you know when D'Antoni is overstating something. How did you acquire that skill?

Like everything else I write, i'm using logic. If you really think that after MDA OK'd taking him and had already liked him from the predraft workouts that he had no idea what this kid could do at all, that's crazy. Did he thin he'd be starting right now? Who could know such a thing. All you can do is try and coach a player and give them a better chance to succeed. All the steps MDA took suggest that he did that. He got him extra work and special attention of one of his coaches. He sent him to the D league to get some run since there would be no practice days. He had him practice on Game days to give him additional work and then he got him slowly into the mix.

Once he had his successful outing it only made confidence in him grow and now tonight he's taken yet another step to solidifying his role.

This repetition of your defense sounds like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Complete tunnel vision. He Shit a diamond - happens to all of us. Lets move on and hope that Lin saves his job. That is what we all want. If Lin does well He does well, we do well, Dolan gets richer ... everybody wins.

Yadda. Yadda. Lin is no fluke. Know why he is smiling? At Harvard, Lin had limited talent around him. This is intuitive for him.

The best part? Lin is NOT showing any sign of turning into Toney Douglas.

Jesus Christ man im not bashing lin. I think lin is playing great. Walt even said they are forcing lin to his left but he has adjusted well. next time dont jump to conclusions because you sound like a twat

Wow, I just read that sh!t. Yo you gotta check yourself, you calling me names is one thing but if you are gonna do that sh!t to everyone , just GTFO

No these guys are too busy trying to strip any kind of credit to the coach for getting Lin some playing time in order to get him ready for his shot. This is all just dumb luck and MDA had no idea that Lin could play and just got desperate and stuck him in there. That would be hard to believe since Lin's players felt Lin had potential, so how could MDA have missed it as he was running practice?

"We've been saying that he has talent in practice, but we didn't know if it would translate in the game," said Tyson Chandler. "He's obviously showing all of us that he can."

WE SPEND YEARS CRYING ABOUT THE LAUGHING STOCK PILE OF SCAT FRANCHISE WE ARE ATTACHED TO AND THEN WE GET WALSH AND MDA.

WE SPEND MONTHS CRYING ABOUT HOW WE DON'T HAVE SHIT BUT SSOL AND THEN WE GET STAT.

WE SPEND MORE MONTHS CRYING ABOUT STAT AND A WEAK SUPPORTING CAST AND THEN WE GET MELO.

WE SPEND YEARS NOW SHITTING AND CRYING ALL OVER THE TRADE, AND HOW WE SHOULD PRAY MDA DIES IN A FIERY BUS CRASH UNDERNEATH AN EXPLODING OIL TANKER.

WE SPEND MONTHS PUKING SNOT ABOUT HOW WE DON'T HAVE A LEGIT CENTER AND WE GET TYSON.

WE SPEND MONTHS WHINING AND MENSTRUATING OVER A LACK OF A PG, AND NOW WE HAVE A 6'5" 200LB BRAINIAC SCORING 20 PTS A GAME.

WE WHINE AND BITCH BECAUSE WE CARE. IT IS WHAT IT IS.

personally, i think the knicks are my favorite sports team.

Did he defend Isiah? Throughout? That's RICH!

Just for the record, I said Nixluva is an optimist, not that he defended Isiah throughout.

No takers? Not one of the legion of haters has the balls to admit that this team played like a well coached team in the absence of its two biggest stars when the third was on the bench with foul trouble against a legit playoff team at full strength and never even gave up the lead. For some reason I am not surprised.

Y'all couldn't recognize a good thing if it came and slapped you in the face.

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