True or false:
Lin would be the best guard on our roster right now.
Lin would have resigned but Dolan and MSG totaly phucked it up

Yeah, come on Jrod. You can do better.

Yes, Bonn, you're right, I need to work on my knee jerk reactions to small sample sizes.

Again, where the hell was all this Jermy smarm last season, when our starting PG couldn't throw the ball in the ocean for two months. It's easier to pick on FatRay and Picasso than JKidd right?

Romantic - being outplayed by Patrick Beverly and Toney Freakin Douglas.
I wanted Lin back and it sucked that he's gone, but he made his choices and our idiot owner lived up to his personality. Move on boys.

In other, actually related news, Shump tries to make amends to the breathing little turd-god with 9 dimes.

There were a lot of posters here, myself included, that were pining for Lin. We just stopped mid-season because we wanted to concentrate on the Knicks and other posters asked us to stop mentioning Lin.

In regards with Lin being outplayed last year. I watched all Rocket games last year. He was not outplayed by Beverley or TD. Sampson did not like Lin and it showed. McHale I am not sure but he is a horrible coach and I think he listened to Sampson a lot.

Interesting. Now on top of actually being statistically better, it's the coach's fault too. You forgot the injury excuse, too.

Trust me, I understand that the pining never went away.

Pining for others is part and parcel of the whole Knicks sports fan mental negativity. From Crawfish to Ray to Gallo to Moz to Lee. It never ends.

its not pining for others.. its being pissed about wasted resources. Lin was a dymanic and talented player we could really use who fills a position of need. MSG front office totally phucked up the sitation and we lost a good young player for nothing, something the Knicks cant afford. But there is nothing Lin can do Chris Smith cant right? The $2mm dev league player

1) define the difference; I don't see any in most of the posts in here
2) He was dynamic and talented for 18 whole fuhucking games of what most on here consider the JV season, right? We also watched him get his clock cleaned by DWill and others and there were those commenting regularly on his turnovers (like voila!, having 8 in one game).
3) WTF does Chris Smith have to do with this? Okay, hey! we're paying Lil brother Smiff less per year than we did Lin, how's that? Actually, on a per game basis, if you extrapolate it out over a full season, what did Jeremy actually cost for those 18 games at $700K? Compare that to practice dummy Chris Smith at the reduced rate.

For that whole little magical flashpoint, I really liked Lin. I still think he would have grown into a great fit here. But he's not here. It's not happening. And whining and/or interchangeably being pissed years later (and you know this will go on for years) provides what, exactly?

You seem very invested in making sure no one here feels positively about any players on other teams

You seem inattentive to thread content particular to the comments you make. You can do better Bonn. I believe in you!

What I don't understand is what will happen if Ray or Pablo or Beno has a sick game statistically, will we see the same adulation for one of our own?
Let me answer that for you: No.

I'm fully invested in this team. It's like my T-Bill for the NBA. Put all my concentrated loyalty in one basket.

+ ONE

Simple, non-disparaging, clear thinking.

I had more fun watching that then I had watching the game yesterday. Watching that reminded me the real reason why I loved that time period the most. The team played "the right way". If you are open you shoot. If you are not open you pass the ball and move around to create space and opportunities for yourself and others. I never liked ISO basketball and chucking and the worst period of ISO Melo came right before Linsanity began.

I remember the talk about how Melo would fit in with Lin and people thought we were crazy. The reason we asked that question is because we knew how good melo could be if he fit into a team concept. He does it every All-Star game and the Olympics. He just can not do it on a normal NBA roster for some reason. I loved melo on those teams. He shot a lot on those team but he is did within the flow of the offense. Melo is a good finisher. He should leave the other things up to the other team. I rather him shooting open shots off ball movement rather than pounding the ball allowing team to load up your side with defenders. This is why I now hate Melo. He can do better but he just will not allow himself to.

Man, I wish he were still here.
