If you read between the line and watch what they say, they're all acting like Lin's had a great run and that's about it and that he has no business being on the court with the big boys during the playoff because he "ISN'T READY"

We know Lin isn't ready but I have yet to hear one of his teammate say "We would love to have Lin back. He would be of tremendous help to us." All I'm hearing is "He's not ready. He's not 100% healthy. If he isn't ready, he shouldn't come back. We don't need to rush him. "

Nobody wants to say it but Knicks saw what happened to Lin during the heat's game and saw how he was shut down. They don't want to bring it up.
They're afraid to say it.

Knicks don't want Lin back on the court whether he was 100% healthy or not. This is why we keep hearing about Round 2. Anything but the Heat for Lin.

Don't be a tool. The Knicks are likely to get eliminated with or without Lin. Why rush him? Grant Hill pulled this BS and ruined his career rushing back so the Pistons could get swept in the first round and got injured really badly. The Knicks are being courteous and not putting additional pressure on him to rush back when his presence is unlikely to change the inevitable outcome of this series.

Did I say 'rush him'? I'm saying they have no confidence in him whether he was ready or not.

You said you're reading between the lines. I'm saying "what lines?"

Did I say 'rush him'? I'm saying they have no confidence in him whether he was ready or not. I can already hear Woodson mumbling "Give him another five days rest" under his breath as soon as he knows Lin is cleared and ready.

You don't sound like you know what you're talking about. There's no way this guy can be in game shape (Woodson even said it publicly) so whether you like it or not, we will NOT be getting Lin back at full strength. He's essentially a 25 or so game rookie b/c he barely even played last year. He will still be an inexperienced player his 3rd year! How is he going to make any type of an impact right now? There's no way he can, and that's not hate. It's like that with most athletes. Bring him back to training camp fresh and ready to go with a much less compacted schedule.

There's no reward in bringing him back now. Don't listen to SAS regarding this.

I wasn't exactly asking for him to return did I? Let me rephrase: "Whether Lin is 100% or not, Knicks aren't going to play him against the Heat."

He's not 100% and this is already known. So, what are you basing this on?

I'm basing this on the lack of confidence in Lin.

So, you have no basis. Just checking. Thanks for playing.

I have no more inside information than you do so we're both wrong. You don't know that he's 100% ready and I don't know if he isn't 100% ready.

This is a half glass full/empty argument.

I have no evidence to justify your claim that the Knicks have no confidence. Until proven otherwise, no need to entertain the thought. You're guessing based on well... nothing. Not the same thing.

This is not a glass half full/half empty argument. Your glass is completely empty.

Can't let a nice cold glass of beer turn cold now can I?
