yep.

How do you pick Morrow over Humphries? Morrow doesnt even start on this team! smh. He only is because Brooks is out.

If I am mistaken Jermey Lin was a huge reason for the 7 point win NY just had. He's a pg. Who was defending him? Oh yeah Deron.

well, the problem I see with humphries starting is most playoff teams do not start hustle guys at power forward. I suppose he could start next to dwight howard or something (he doesn't space the floor though, which is kind of a problem with that idea). I would say he's more first big off the bench material. and then Morrow isn't that talented, but he is a great shooter, and starting a pure shooter at shooting guard is not a horrible idea.

Not gonna lie a back-court of Lin + Fields is about as high IQ as it gets. Still though, you could see how much better the Knicks were with a facilitator in the game. He was driving, scoring or dishing, efficient, gave Amar'e good looks under the basket.

[airchibundo507]

MDA said in the post game interview that Lin is probably going to start against Utah on Monday. Looking forward to it!

They would be so consistent offensively.

D'Antoni is going overboard with the start. I'd just stick with the original lineup and bring him in off the bench.

Just see how he does each game for 10-15 mins. If he does ok, you give him some more time.

I dunno . . . if the Knicks were a normal team, I'd agree with you, but we seriously have the worst back court in the NBA right now. They're always playing hot potato on the perimeter because no one other than Melo can penetrate and he can only do it off of pnrs. I think at least experimenting with Lin in the starting line-up isn't a bad idea.

You would be the one bring up the Spurs out of nowhere.

[DMV2]

He's never considered to be a good player so I don't see any backlash or hate coming his way. He has that Scalabrine type of support behind him too.

if you were actually praising him and posing this scenario as hypothetical it would be "if"

regardless, these reactions come with the territory of performing under the microscope that is MSG and NY. and performing well i might add

[airchibundo507]

no one's expecting 25/7 every night. 10/6 is reasonable granted he gets enough minutes.

the thing is... he is the best point guard on our roster. even if he has a bad night, he'd likely outperform Douglas, Bibby and (on offense) Shumpert. he penetrates better than anyone on the team. he can run the pick-and-roll well and find our bigs for easy paint baskets. his activity, efficiency and energy are much needed.

Because I'm a realistic person. He will fall back to earth. You honestly think a guy who's been in the league for a few seasons who was recently sent to the dleague is gonna become some superstar baller for the Knicks because he surprised people with a stellar performance against a terrible Nets team?

These reaction threads for Lin are as bad or worse them the threads started for early rookie performances this season.

[MeLO MvP 15]

IMO Lin's dominant night is just proof of how great any decent PG with average vision would do on this team. But I'm also taking it cautiously because this is the Nets and yes he was against Deron (who he played great D on!- might be just as proud about Lin's defense) but this same Nets team just let Pekovic drop like 24/11 on them.

I'm looking forward to what he can do. In addition to tonight, he had a solid outing against Houston, decent minutes against Boston, tore up the D-League and apparently is amazing in practice. His jumper might be kinda weak but he has an amazing knack of getting into the paint and has average vision.

[Jyap9675]

whatever it is... definitely a confidence booster, and will help his career for sure.

no one is saying he is a superstar :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

the goal is if Lin will amount to something the team can use. Douglas/Bibby and whoever else aint gettin it done. They are awful, god awful at running the point. They are producing at the level of a 3rd stringer.. probably worse.

The Knicks are simply desperate for someone to give them even slightly below average production at the PG spot. ANYBODY.

Douglas/Bibby shouldn't be in the league with the way they are playing.

Why wasn't Lin ever given full minutes before? He's not a supreme talent, but we all saw how competitive he was at Harvard and then during last year's pre-season. When will coaches/scouts start understanding that competitive will has a great deal to do with results on the court. If he continues to play like this, and I hope he does, the offices of Golden State and NY will be rightfully embarrassed.

[niko]

If he was a spur youd already have made a Jeremy Lin is underrated thread.

Note: The difference here is it was fun and exciting, but we already know he's not this level of a player. But we hope he showed something that may continue in some form. You say it would be different if he was a Spur, yes it would. he'd 100% be a future star, and anyone who disagreed, a biased hater.

[Blue&Orange]

Seriously the amount of idiots that are completely obsessed with the Knicks is astonishing.

Knicks fans trolling and having fun on Knicks gamethread, a joke thread by bagelred, that's what he does, and another joke thread by a Dwyane Rose i doubt he is a Knicks fan.


But hey :no: :no: :no: Knicks fans are delusional and annoying , "what happens when Lin falls back on earth" :blah :blah :blah

If what happened last year is indicative of anything (Mozgov's monster game) D'Antoni won't play Lin again until the end of the season

[Basketbolero]

In before "Lin for Fisher and Walton, do it Mitch!".

Great game by Lin, why is OP butthurt? Knicks fans are starving for good PG performances, let them enjoy this one.

[Clutch]

No one expects this from him every night. Actually very few people expected something from him at all.

It was one of the most exciting games of the season,Amare and Melo were struggling,Knicks were losing by 12 but Jeremy Lin had come in,put the team on his back and completely outplayed one of the best point guards in Deron Williams.
Garden crowd was crazy.

Even after this game I don't expect much from him but it was nice watching him last night.

In truth, most of us don't really give a shit one way or the other. Taking people's reactions seriously on this forum...probably not the most sound approach you could have adopted.

People are reacting this way because its funny to them and not much else. I found it funny to watch this little Asian Ivy Leaguer take a steamy noodly dump on Deron Williams. I'd find it hilarious if he did the same thing to Rondo. Its fun to see a guy have a night like that. People here were having fun. So, you know, chill the heck out.

[Basketbolero]

If he can manage to put up like 18 points and 6 assists a game next season he might start as an all-star due to all his fans. Not just Chinese people but this guy is a serious crowd favorite no matter where he goes just because he was a huge underdog. Similar to Udonis Haslem and a few other undrafted players like Ben Wallace.

[vinsane01]

Given the knicks lackadaisical point guard play so far this season, i dont see any reason why he shouldnt play as much minutes as he did in this game. I wouldnt count on him scoring as much as he did but he looks like a team player who can pass the ball and create for his teammates. They still need baron too add depth a bit of depth though, since the stats show that shumpert is playing ala chris duhon under D'antoni's system.

[inclinerator]

you wont say that when lin leads the knicks to a 42-0 record to end the season 16-0 playoff sweep and wins mvp and finals mvp

Clearly from last night's game, Jeremy has the best court vision of all the Knicks pg out there. Surprisingly he was able to keep up with Deron's quickness. Deron just couldn't shake him off.

I cant recall the last Spurs player I called crap. You cant either. What I do is enter your threads and say EXACTLY what you just typed in making THIS thread. To better understand, you notice how you made a thread asking people to relax on hyping up Lin after his performance? You notice how you say he will come back down to Earth? I tell you that CONSTANTLY in your random Spurs role player is underrated (vastly) threads. I'm not making this up, fabricating or leaving things out. Niko even clowns you on it because he recalls the stuff as well. So its hilarious to see you make this thread given your rep here. Its like where is the white text?

Oh by the way, Sixers bench > Spurs bench. :pimp:

[konex]

The only team with worse PG play is the Lakers so I think he will be pretty good for them cos he penetrates and makes plays.

He can't shoot very well but he'll be wide open cos teams have to worry about Melo and Amare

Barea was in the D-league like 4 years into his career. Give this kid a break he could be good.

[nathanjizzle]

Jeremy is still adjusting to the pressures of the NBA (especially last year, being asian american and playing for golden state).this year he seems more comfortable but i still sense he will be adjusting. He can be a 18-8 player this year if he gets the right minutes and is more comfortable.

We just need more data. In the Celtic game he at first looked terrible vs. Avery Bradley (a good defender) but then later showed some ability to penetrate. Now he has the big game vs. Williams. Jury is still out.

[GOBB]

I'm rooting for the guy because he is an Asian guard. Stupid reason no doubt, but I like to see an asian guard make it in the NBA. As far as being a solid contributor. It would be cool. We've seen the asian bigs make it. I never seen much in terms of a guard.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Barea was in the D-league like 4 years into his career. Give this kid a break he could be good.

No he wasn't. He was undrafted and signed with the Mavs in the 06-07 year. He rarely played that year, and did go to the D-League his rookie season, and for parts of his second season. But during his second season he actually played with the Mavs and by his 3rd season he was with the Mavs the whole time.

that was like pre-trade Knicks last night. before we got melo we had a bunch of young players that had potential but were not proven, so when they stepped up it brought huge energy to the garden. the star players are expected to do what they do but when the effort comes from the unexpected young players it's adds extra excitement.

Just shows that Melo is a headcase. He'll keep going 3-15 ever other night and won't ever win anything.

[konex]

I'm watching the highlights and I know its the Nets. But he made some nice plays! Loved the ally oop off the screen and roll to Chandler. Sick

Plays like that is why I think he's a great fit with the Kincks. Until Baron can play they have NO ONE else who can consistently give Tyson and Amare those passes.

He just needs to work on his jumper cos teams are gonna stop letting him drive

[WhySoInsecure?]

We just need more data. In the Celtic game he at first looked terrible vs. Avery Bradley (a good defender) but then later showed some ability to penetrate. Now he has the big game vs. Williams. Jury is still out.
He looked awful in his first game but I'm sure it was just a confidence issue. Not saying that he'll be our savior but he should be able to give us 15min/game of solid play. Nets were playing swiss cheese defense.

[GOBB]

Yeah I dont know too much about his jumper. If its weak then yeah teams will back off and play the drive. NYN played terrible screen defense. A better defensive team would have defended him attacking the rim as easily as it seemed like he did. Altho Deron Williams got owned a couple plays. Whoa!

This is my first time watching him play bball. Outside of GSW one game where he got garbage minutes. Crazy highlights. Seems like he blows on defense the way he talked about himself in the interview. :oldlol:

But yeah he was getting Chandler, Amare touches, even had a nice pass to Jared friggin Jeffries.

[RaininTwos]

Why can't fans be happy for ONE night? Jesus christ OP, chill. I'm a notorious knick hater, but even I didn't care about their celebration and I thought baglered's thread was cool and funny.

It does for the Chinese government since they won't allow Lin to play for their national team. Greece and Macedonia don't care about citizenships... they just want to place well on tournaments.

He will get his minutes.
Sometimes it takes a few years for point guards to develop. Jeff Teague was terrible his first two years, then last year against the Bulls he was outstanding.

Let's see what he can do.

[Dwade305]

He is not in the "race"? lol

[Clippersfan86]

One win over arguably the worst team in the league.... and 10 threads? :oldlol: . He had a nice game but it was his only decent game this year and he's a role player/scrub. The Knicks fans have really reached an all time low to be celebrating a win against the Nets when they are 8-15 or w/e.

They have already declined from 17 and 9. Considering how many open looks he gets and how bad Orlando needs scoring.. I think his current 16 and 7 is sustainable.

Weren't both the Knicks and Nets neck and neck in the standings? They're just as bad.

Also, considering the insane amount of bad luck this team is experiencing right now, I don't mind the celebration.

Nah, he was born in the California.

[Poodle]

that whole lane was so open, and barely any paint challenging. i'm sort of surprised at some of the moves but his success in the lane seemed a lot more to do with NJ lacking shot blockers. I swear him driving reminds me of players i've played with at the courts who go up just like Lin does with those pump shots, last second lay in's every time like thats their move to get a drive shot in. I want to believe the hype since its a great story if he's the real deal, but it just looked so amateur against a horrible defense. altho some of those lobs were nice looks.

[fubu05]

The whole season the biggest problem has been the PG position for the Knicks. With no production from there, Melo has had to take over the distributing duties, but it has not worked out. We saw last night, a PG who was driving and looking for his teammates, and the offense finally flowed for the first time.

D'Antoni's system is one that is free flowing. The PG has the ball, and he makes the decisions on the floor, he directs traffic, he calls the pick-n-rolls, he runs the team on the floor. The coaching from the sidelines is minimal, and a lot of the genius of D'Antoni's system relies on giving the PG full control of the offense.

So what do you guys think? Can Jeremy Lin make the Knicks better? Can he make them a competitive team or do you guys think this game was just a fluke.

[AMISTILLILL]

No.

[HylianNightmare]

no, he had one great game

[Meticode]

Yes. He will be the greatest Asian point guard ever.

Because he's he only NBA Asian point guard ever?

[ImmortalD24]

Yes. He will be the greatest Asian point guard ever.

This.

[airchibundo507]

well, since he's better than any point guard on the roster, of course he makes us better. we win in boston if lin was playing in the second half, just like we won against the nets

[AMISTILLILL]

Nobody even cared when John Lucas put up 25 points/8 boards/8 assists/1 steal against John Wall a few weeks ago. This Lin scrub has the game of his career last night, against a clearly unmotivated Deron Williams, and the Knicks fan base are ready to practically hand him the keys to the franchise. Yes, things are THAT bad in New York.

[Eric Cartman]

He will kill Miami in the playoff similar to how Barea did them wrong in the finals last year. He is american of asian descent. Similar to Mark Sanchez is American of Mexican descent. Stop with the ignorant comment & vicious lies cause this guy doesn't deserve any of that. Let the kid grow into the position to succeed.

[chairman]

again, he is a better penetrator, passer, playmaker and facilitator than ANY point guard on the roster.

[Cali Syndicate]

no, he had one great game

And this is the first game he's ever had 30+ minutes.

Not that he can do this on a regular basis but as a PG, he's better than Douglas.

I didn't know the exact numbers...

Lin, 10-19 FG, 25 pts, 7 ast
Lucas, 11-28 FG, 25 pts, 8 ast

there's nothing that impressive about Lucas's performance. he had insane usage with rose and watson out. he chucked up a ton of shots and some of them fell.

[AMISTILLILL]

Still tho... 19 shots for 25 pts > 28 shots for 25pts...

I guess you troglodytes are missing the point here. The point is two borderline D-League scrubs had career games yet one is being heralded as the savior of New York, while one is entirely obscured. Stop arguing efficiency... it literally has no relevance to the topic at hand. Nobody is saying "Dude came out of nowhere and scored 25 poi--... oh wait, he took 28 shots? **** that then."

[chairman]

[Marv_Albert]

Talks now about how he's going to change the franchise and become a superstar, hell he had a one off game people do this all the time and he went 25 against the nets on a bad night...the NETS!!! talk to me when he goes off again against a decent team and keeps consistent. :facepalm

switch Lucas and Lin, and Lucas would probably start for the Knicks. I don't know how to make myself any clearer. Any semi-competent PG is an upgrade over Dougals, Bibby and most nights Shumpert.

[flipogb]

He was born & raised in California so you are a fool.
he gets overrated by so many asian americans like himself, annoying as hell and I don't get it

[Eric Cartman]

John Lucas performance was average, but it doesn't count now that Lebron humiliated him on national tv. He reverted back to scrub/11th man status.

[AMISTILLILL]

switch Lucas and Lin, and Lucas would probably start for the Knicks. I don't know how to make myself any clearer. Any semi-competent PG is an upgrade over Dougals, Bibby and most nights Shumpert.

Actually Lin went to the D-League and beasted and posted a trip-dub his first game. Tyson Chandler said in practice he's been beating the guards off the dribble been playing good defense, and when he kept on doing that Tyson said hey maybe we should give this guy a run along with D'Antoni. And how do you know he's a scrub? This is the first game he really got minutes and was put out there in the important moments of a game. He showed up, we'll see what he does next. When someone gets their first significant minutes at a significant portion of the game and delivers, you can't call them a scrub because that would mean you've seen them fail countless times before. :confusedshrug:

:roll: :roll: :roll:

If by "a ton" you mean "only 9 more than Lin who can apparently make the Knicks better".

a nine shot discrepancy is huge. also, there's a difference between inefficient chucking and having the green light to shoot when you are hitting most of your shots and getting to the basket at will (as lin was doing).

and this will be the last time I repeat myself, switch lucas with lin, and lucas starts for the Knicks. yes, the Knicks backcourt is THAT bad. any semi-competent PG is an upgrade over Douglas, Bibby and most nights Shumpert.

[wang4three]

Also should be noted that the Nets pick-n-roll defense is terrible this year. Anyone capable of running that against us will burn us 7 times out of 10. Deron was being stuck alone on that island most of the time. Humphries never stepped out or flashed or anything. Just stuck himself under the basket like the rest of our bigs.
