Games with Lin from February 3 thru March 24th: 16 wins and 11 losses for a winning percentage of 59%
Games without Lin from March 26 thru April 26th: 12 wins and 5 losses for a winning percentage of 70%

The Knicks actually did better with Melo leading the team at the end of the year.

no, you're right, the player who scored more points THAN ANYONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA in his first 9 starts is completely done developing and getting better.

that's it. those 25 starts are it. he won't get any better at age 23. he's done.

time to move and start a 40yr old alcoholic at PG. oh yeah, i mean a 40yr old alcoholic who beat his wife and scored 6ppg last year on 37% shooting. YAAAY.

Jesus are you crazy????? I never said that. I want the Knicks to sign Lin. However, let's not over estimate his real value to the
Knicks last year, especially his UNWILLINGNESS to play in the playoffs. He could develop in a great player but that is still to
be determined and neither one of us has a crystal ball. What is clear is what he did last year.

This unwillingness to play in the playoffs is complete bull****. Did anyone read one article last season that said that? And really, why should he be rushing back from major knee surgery after we annihilated in game 1? Would Lin have made that great of a difference in the rest of the series or would he just be fruitlessly jeopardizing the entire rest of his career? Seriously, rushing a good, young player back from knee surgery was not going to be the difference in that series.

that's why i worried about him coming back about a month ago. frank isola started tweeting about how Lin didn't play in the playoffs despite being healthy. it was horse crap after the fact, but when isola starts tweeting sh!t like that, you know he is being fed it from someone in the garden trying to poison the well. isola is too stupid to come up with that stuff on his own.

Other players have had the same injury and have returned in much less time. He was more concerned about getting his pay day than
helping the Knicks. To come to any other conclusion is naive.

if its the $, i dont blame the kid. i didnt/dont hate anthony for not waiting for FA to join the knicks. passing up what could be a last huge payday is kinda nuts.

thank you, doctor feltonandamare. but you do realize that you are just blindly repeating the MSG spin about why it's okay to let Lin go?

You don't have to be a doctor to know that he took much longer than other players who had the same injury. If you want to believe
the **** you are posting go ahead.

Like who? The only player I can think of is CP3 who wears a huge brace on his knee and everyone's scared that his career has been shortened and might possible end at any moment. At the very least he doesn't play the same as he did pre-injury throughout the game.

EDIT: And, it doesn't address the fact that we had no chance in that series. It didn't make sense to rush Lin back until he was 100% healthy.

you aren't a doctor (unless you are, which, okay, sorry.) you didn't see his knee. if you were a real doctor you would say that he should come back when ready.

saying the kid should come back 5 weeks after knee surgery to his first game action against the best team in the east in the playoffs???

who are you to say he was ready? that's absurd.

I don't know why but when I read that I heard Seth Rogan's voice in my head.

Yeah, did you see Melo hurt his "ankle" last year? His first one, I believe it was vs Memphis.

Cause I watched the replay 20x and I did not see any sprain.

Funny, he avoids playing Rudy Gay, OKC *Durant*, and a few other teams that would have TORCHED him and his MAX deal up....
And I was not the only one, I know 20 people that said the same thing, and I wasn't the one that brought it up, in all different conversations.

Melo sat out this year against the Heat in January and no one here said a peep. Melo wasn't injured. I think the nature of his injury was "fatigue, upset with mike d'antoni."
