Bench Lin. Start Davis

[chairman]

It's clear Lin isn't good against defensive minded point guards. He is just a turnover machine. Start davis and bring Lin out with the bench. Lin isn't taking a team anywhere in the playoffs. Thank god they have Carmelo

[stallionaire]

Lin needs to get less minutes. I agree.

[mattvNJ]

i dont agree, kids still young. I mean maybe limit his minutes a little more. but the team generally plays better, more motivated with Lin running the point from the start. although baron is completely capable. Lin gets more comfortable, gets starter type stamina and mind set and he's gold for that team

[Meticode]

Overreact, then underreact

[chairman]

It's funny cause most of the Knicks posters were acting like Davis was gonna save them before Lin emerged. Then Lin breaks out and all Knicks fans call Baron trash and will be injured all season :facepalm Lin won't win you games in the playoffs

[millwad]

I think the Knicks should still give Lin his minutes, at least for now. His biggest problem seems to be that he rushes the game often and that he never does anything with his left hand.

[IamRAMBO24]

Bench winning. Start losing.

Obvious you don't know sh*t about basketball. Come back with the same argument when Baron plays 1 on 5.

[Teanett]

bullshit

[Haymaker]

Bench Lin now? :D :D :D

[HylianNightmare]

lin is still super young, needs time to get used to NBA defenses,but diddy did look solid

[Sarcastic]

Landry Fields is a much weaker link in the starting 5 than Jeremy Lin. Putting Smith or Shumpert in the starting lineup would give the Knicks a better secondary dribbler too.

[chairman]

Bench Lin now? :D :D :D
No where in my post did I say he couldn't play the 4th quarter. All I said was to limit his minutes cause he sucks. Just cause made open shots doesn't mean shit. He is the reason the Knicks were down with his scumbag turnovers

Tonight -7 with Lin on the floor and +10 with Davis on the floor.

touche, haha I'm just saying exaggeration threads are getting old. They should limit his minutes, let baron mentor him a little and they got them selves a great project in the making.

How is it an exaggeration thread? Do you really believe Lin plays good against defensive minded pg? :facepalm Stupid kid

[LamarOdom]

I do agree with you but Baron should start and Lin should play less minutes. In the summer he should train on his ball handling and maybe he could develop to a average PG maybe little better but he will never compete with the best.

[mattvNJ]

I don't believe he plays well and i also agreed with you on the minutes being limited... and kid? hahah some one disagrees with your "flawless" basketball knowledge and they're a kid. Your a joke and Lamarodom, i totally agree, he needs some training he's expected to do to much for his skill set at this point in his career. Some training and getting more comfortable without all that pressure will do him wonders.

23 isn't super young.
a bunch of players are already finishing their rookie contract at that age

they won't do shit in the playoffs

[bluechox2]

linsanity is ineffective vs defensive minded teams

[Rekindled]

you guys realize that davis can only play at max 20 minutes a game right ?

[chairman]

linsanity is ineffective vs defensive minded teams
which is why they won't get past the first round:cheers:

[Poodle]

it sux they're so stacked at SG, or they could run double PG with Lin and Baron....

[blablabla]

linsanity is ineffective vs defensive minded teams
reminds me off pokemon
linsanity is not very effictive

[MeLO MvP 15]

Baron deserves like 18 minutes and Lin should be at like 30. Lin should remain the starter unless he really does poorly and Baron does well. Very simple. But Baron hasn't done enough this year to earn the starting spot over Lin (who has done a lot more).

[Yanch856]

I get the feeling even if you put Davis in the starting position the Knicks first unit would still stink. The second unit is playing much much better.

[Whoah10115]

Close account. Pee on own face.

Lin can't even play D:facepalm IMO give Lin 22 Min and 8 Min to Shumpert

[Real Men Wear Green]

Lin should be given a shot at SG. He's a good scorer but not a pg-level ballhandler. He's undoubtedly a spark and needs to be out there but the turnovers can potentially kill you. Let him just focus on scoring.

[Dbrog]

23 isn't super young.

:oldlol:

[niko]

IF this made sense (which it doesn't) for performance reasons, let me point out Baron said he can play 10-15 minutes at most on average, and said it's "possible" he can get it up to 25 minutes by Season's End. He also implied he might never be able to play that many minutes again because of his back.

So no ,he's not starting unless the NBA shortens the game.

Note: For your own teams, when you have young players in their 20th or so start, do you decide after a bad game that they will never play again? Or is this just how the Knicks should behave?

Lin is basically a shooting PG trying to be a facilitating PG. I think from high school to Harvard was more of a scorer than a "true PG."

Yes of course. Baron Davis had the same amount of turnovers in less minutes.

[Go Getter]

Lin is the best PG on the team. At this point in his career B. Davis turns the ball over as much as Lin and doesn't have his old explosiveness to compensate for it.

[chairman]

Yes of course. Baron Davis had the same amount of turnovers in less minutes.
He hasn't played in a while he actually has legit excuse. He was injured Smh :facepalm

[ballashotcalla]

Hard call to make.

They both have good games and bad games at the same time.

The Knicks whenever we have hyped players.



Play Shumpert 8min a game. Sensible suggestion. Very.

NOt at PG, no it's not. He played PG earlier this year. He was beyond awful and it carried over to the otehr facets of his game. He's played ten times better since PG was taken away.

WATCH GAMES. THEN COMMENT. BE SENSIBLE>

[chocolatethunder]

I'm no Lin fan but he has the same excuse. He came out of nowhere and now he's getting heavy minutes. You're acting like he's some seasoned vet who's been stinking it up. How many games has this guy started? Really. He's not the second coming but at this point who has more potential him or Davis? Jesus, if this kid was black you'd be making excuses for him. Give it a rest and relax. For the record I don't even like Lin.

[chairman]

Davis with 9pts 9ast 5reb 2stl 1to :applause:

[Teanett]

Davis with 9pts 9ast 5reb 2stl 1to :applause:
are you serious?
he had nothing left in the end even though he hardly played any defense.

[chairman]

Obviously you limit his minutes dumb kid :facepalm Smh

[Teanett]

Obviously you limit his minutes dumb kid :facepalm Smh
so he would be 6/5/2 in 18 minutes.
i can live with that.

[BlueCrayon]

How did Lin and Baron playing at the same time work out yesterday?

[bballbball]

How did Lin and Baron playing at the same time work out yesterday?

It worked out real good as they were to overcome the double digit deficit with both on the court making big plays. Baron had to be taken out at the end though as he was gassed.

[Godzuki]

Lin was awesome last night...and he played stellar defense. best defense i've seen him play. all his 3's were almost all swishhhhhh...just pretty :pimp:

Baron played well too, flashes of his old self, big problem with him is if he can't get a layup, he sux offensively. Barons got a horrible jumper.

sux that Shumpert didn't play more since he deserves more run than he got. he hasn't done anything that i've seen to lose playing time even tho DAntoni said his focus wasn't there...but after 5 minutes? :rolleyes:

Knicks should've won it, i don't know how they lost tbh.

[Teanett]

i would have went with jr smith in the 4th four a little while. baron was gassed when it mattered.

also, although they were on the floor together for a long time, lin was +14 and baron -2. that's how bad the knicks were with lin on the bench.

[swi7ch]

Lin isn't the problem. It's Melo and Amare. How about bench Melo and Amare and start Shumpert and Novak???

[strifed169]

Other PGs are torching Lin because you have 2 of the worst defending forwards in the league who constanty miss rotations and leave Lin on an island whenever he gets screened, he actually plays excellent 1on1 defense and is 1 of the better defending PGs in the league imo, he just needs better backup.

This ^^^

Nothing Lin can do when Amar'e lets the opposing PG get to the rim at will to make an easy layup.

[Bigsmoke]

lol Baron Davis is way too fat to start.

[IGOTGAME]

This ^^^

Nothing Lin can do when Amar'e lets the opposing PG get to the rim at will to make an easy layup.

exactly...thus Lin can't play bad defense on this team because it is ALWAYS Amare's fault. Lets forget about all the bad rotations and times he get beat 1 v. 1 or when he senselessly runs directly into screens instead of going over or under...

[Go Getter]

1. No way you bench Lin for Davis. Cmon now.
2. It is Lins job to stop guard penetration, but it is his bigs job to help once they get into the lane. You can blame team d but Lin is also to blame.
3. When the Knicks were winning it was all due to Lin and now they are losing and he gets no blame. That's rather hypocritical.

[rodman91]

Knicks have 8th spot thanks to Lin. **** that overrated Melo and Amare. They were suppose to be Knicks' answer to The Big Three.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

And a week later vice versa
