While STAT's injury is hugely disappointing, the way I see it, three major topics on this board will get resolved.
- Is Melo for real?
- How legit is Lin?
- Is Woody the coach of the future
Whatever the past with Melo was, who cares... the number one determinant of how successful this team will be or how big of a failure the season will be lies predominantly with Melo. It's not worth debating Melo's merits or demerits anymore because the next 16 games will determine that
I think most (if not all) of us would agree that Lin has a future as a starter in this league for a long time. But is he Linsane? Could he be an All Star? He's clearly the second banana over the next 16 games and I'll be looking for glimpses and hopefully we didn't just catch Linsanity in a bottle
If Woody navigates the Knicks to a successful stretch, he has to be the coach of the future, right?
All hands on deck. Let's go Knicks.
